    Without naming names, let me just say that you can have both on the same team, they would not be playing the same position and neither one of them would be out of position.

    In fact that's exactly how Brazil will play March 31.

    As fourth pick in the first round, I choose Thierry Henry.

    Country: France
    Caps/Goals: 49/20

    Club: Arsenal

    One of the top forwards in the world right now. He has almost everything needed to be a great forward; blazing speed, dribbling flair, an awsome shot and takes some of the best freekicks in the world also. In addition to being a good striker, he also floats back towards midfield occasionally and often provides for teamates' goals.

    thanks

    with the 5th overall pick, i take as roma & romania center back christian chivu

    tough, skillful defender with great leadership qualities for a 23 year old - just ask the boys club at AJAX that he almost took past milan in last year's champions league - was captain of romania at 21 - this pick might surprise some, but i couldnt care less - i now have my defense marshall for the next dozen years - not quite the defensive equal of nesta, but far more proficient in attack - just ask roma how big his long serves, free kick blasts and distribution up the middle have been for them this season - a top notch penalty taker and can also play left back in a pinch

    As the 7th overall pick in the first round, I will choose Rustu Recber.

    Country: Turkey

    Club: FC Barcelona

    International Caps: 85

    Position: Goalkeeper

    Rustu is a great goalkeeper out there at the moment. His performance in the 2002 World Cup was amazing.

    Recber has got to be the worst pick ever in this draft. You have every player in the world to pick such as Steven Gerrard, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo etc. and you pick Recber!?!?!?! He wouldn't even make my top 10 list of keepers on the world!!

    What!? You picked Recber over Buffon, Toldo, Kahn, Casillas, Canizares, Dudek, etc?

    Please do not post names of players not yet select no matter how obvious it may be that everyone else knows them someone might not be thinking of that one player or may overlook someone and everyone here should do their own homework and if they make a mistake so be it.

    I agree.


    Haha none of the players picked so far would have made my top 20 list! with the exception of ronaldiniho and henry.

    BTW VS since you are part of my team now and our turn is coming up pretty soon if you want your voice to be heard pm me otherwise i would assume you're ok with the world's greatest scorer of all time the king ali daie!;)

    If it continues the way it is going right now it would be awsome but i think badsy is gonna pick the same player i want to pick as he plays in juve oops have i said too much?! No worries I have so many players in mind so even if one of them gets picked i have others for back up oh and don't worry I am not planning to make IRAN's national team I mean that would just be unfair with me winning that fast:D And can we please speed things up a bit? I really don't want this to go into weekend as i might smoke a phat one(weed just in case you are slow) and forget about my strategy.

    Oh and can someone tell me how does one actually win? What happens after we finish making our teams? I dunno what i have gotten myself into!

    I don't guess there really is a winner to this. Just attempt to assemble the best team in your opinion. If you wanted to draft only players from Iran, well that would be your perogative. It kind of defeats the purpose of the exercise, but hey its all in fun right?

    I just got back from 3 horrendous hours of macro econ. I'm waiting for my dinner to finish nuking before I watch the Milan-Deportivo match on Super Pass. I figured I'd be able to get my pick out of the way around now. Damn Dark Savante...

    Does your top 20 list have any defensive players on it?
