Right. There are two basic plays to make here. I can complete my midfield - or rather, I can make sure I have at least one complete set-up to use, and a bloody good one at that, if I say so myself - or I can gamble, and go for a defender before they're all gone.

What to do? I'll contemplate for about eight hours - and then let you know.

Nah, nothing to contemplate, really - defenders are dull.

I'm very pleased with this one: He was one of the first names I jotted down, but I figured he'd last at least a fair while - and luckily he did. One of the key players for Lobanovskyi's famous Dynamo Kyiv side, and one of the best midfielders in the world in the mid 1970s.

Dynamo won the Cup Winner's Cup in '75 and made an impact in Europe generally, reaching the quarter finals of the EC in '76 (losing 2-3 to finalists Saint'Étienne after having won the first leg 2-0 at home) and the semi-finals in '77 (losing a very tight affair to M'Gladbach: Dynamo won 1-0 at home and the match stood at 1-0 M'Gladbach in the return leg until eight minutes before the final whistle. Dynamo, incidentally, had defeated the reigning champions, Bayern Munich, in the quarter finals - their second notable win over that great team, the first one being the Super Cup final in '75.

Well, that's a bit of history - but made relevant by my seventh pick:

Volodymyr Muntyan.

Well, I'm off to bed, and considering the pace of this thing, I suppose there's little point in checking in again before well into next week - so I'll see you all then!

I pick Dragan Holcer, one of the greatest Eastern European defenders of all time. Born in captivity in a Nazi prison, having lost his father in the war, he went on to have a brilliant football career. He was part of the golden Hajduk Split team in the 70's and already a regular in the Yugoslavian nationalteam in 1968, when they were so unlucky to lose the Euro final in the replay against Italy. After a serious injury, he joined Stuttgart (back then only in the 2nd Bundesliga) as a 30 year old in 1975 and became instantly a fan favourite. Often considered a father figure for Karl-Heinz Förster and seen as the player, who tought him defending. Holcer was a key to the success of the team in the following years. He lead them back into the Bundesliga and instantly in the top 4 and into European competitions. The club missed out on the league title by only one point the next year and never finished below 4th place until he retired in 1981.
