Not going to be around for the rest of the day and Edgar banned Best as well so I just might go with the best name on the top of my head. Doesn’t block too many and hasn’t won anything of note.

A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.
@Gio Clock is ticking mate, so I think you only have until 9am to make your pick.

It should be to my advantage for you to miss your pick, but given that I have no idea what do to here it's probably better for me if the options are narrowed down ever so slightly.

So how does this work.
Romario counts as both a WC winner and Copa America winner?

Twice I wanted to die in my life, when Šeki stopped playing, when they arrested Dzaja and now for the third time.
Fantastic pick for this draft. Looking forward to seeing more Eastern Europeans — I had hoped that the EE draft will make them more popular but sadly it's not the case aside from a few names.
