my final pick is a very familiar face and yet another strong character, who has experience of being part of a winning team and has gone on to take a leading role at another club which does very well considering the resources at their disposal. Giving flexibility as he can play at both left-back and right-back as well as in mid-field. I guess he would receive a warm reception at RedCafe - Phil Neville



My team

Stekelenburg, P.Neville, Adriano, Van Buyten, Lugano, De Rossi, Flamini, Stankovic, Arshavin, Ronaldinho, Forlan

so which teams are not complete?

PM the managers and give them a couple of days to sort it, otherwise we should complete their teams with random players (effectively a bye to whoever draws them)

and then get this shit moving to the voting !!

So everyone is done then. Except FB who has got 6 players. I'll choose a player for him then.

The midfield stalwart- Keith Andrews

I am not playing this game and if necessary, I'm happy to be objective and choose 6 players who I believe would complete his team to the best that is still available.

Yeah that would be great, takover his team if you want to, will be better for the game.

FortBoyard is still active on the forum though. Is there any particular reason he has given up on this draft?

I don't mind, though once the players are chosen it's pretty much manages itself.

Here it is then, Fort Boyard's new signings:


First, in goal. Two time Premier League goalkeeper of the season, Shay Given.


At left back, his club team mate and often underrated, Stephen Warnock.


In the centre of defence, to partner Alex is a guy who has been there, done it and won it all. In Euro 2008's team of the tournament and still one of the best around, Carlos Marchena.


On the right side of defence, 2008/09's Premier League right-back of the season, it's England and Liverpool's Glen Johnson.


For a bit of steel in the middle of the park, another who has won it all. At club level, he's a two time Champions League winner and will be this team's water carrier. It's Thiago Motta.


Finally, into the attacking third, a player who has been one of Turkey's most exciting players over the last ten years; in the Euro 2008 team of the tournament, winner of the FIFA Puskas award in 2010, it's Real Madrid's Hamit Altintop.


The team

N.Anelka
H.Altintop - S.Gerrard - A.Robben
L.Gonzalez - T.Motta
S.Warnock - Alex - C.Marchena - G.Johnson
S.Given​

that team is actually not too bad considering

I think that it should officially be changed from FortBoyard to Cling's team as he picked most of the players!

KM just needs to do the draw and get the voting threads going ...
