If you're struggling to find players for your squad, use www.transfermarkt.co.uk and search for players from your country, it should give you several options for your squad.

Each country is allowed to call up a maximum of FOUR legends from days gone by (seeing as it's a fantasy tournament).

The definite rule on Legends.

Players who are currently still active can be called up as legends, but it will take up one of your 4 legends spaces. Also the four legends in your squad must be labelled as legends to signify they are your four legends in their prime. I agree that it might be better if it was purely players who had retired, but I will leave the rule open so anyone could choose someone from years gone by or recent times. It widens the pool of players to be honest.

For example, Thierry Henry would be the guy running around the MLS, but Thierry Henry (Legend) would be the guy in his prime at Arsenal. And no, you can't have two of the same player (one as legend and one as normal) as that would be stupid.

So are we doing Legends or not?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:42 pm

Damn I forgot about the Neville brothers Wink

by Guest Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:42 pm

Most of the Ukraine legends still play for the current team Laugh

by Bull Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:42 pm

i dont have a clue who my legends are.

by Beer Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:43 pm

I think Legends would help.

How about Legends only allowed for those teams ranked outside the Fifa top 10?

by Marky Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:43 pm

I'd say yes, I don't think the stronger teams will be as dependent on them as the weaker ones, so it will help balance things out.

Aside from Hero pairing C. Ronaldo with Luis Figo and his Just for Men Doh

Maximum 4 legends in your 23 man squad.

Either everyone or no-one. I'd go with everyone. Why would Spain want to bring back Guardiola in place of Xavi anyway?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:45 pm

I'm impartial anyway, having Davor Suker might help but then again Nikica Jelavic is scoring goals in the year 2012!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:49 pm

by Marky Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:23 pm

Good shout on Peter Schmeichel, i'd throw in Brian and Michael Laudrup and if you're short on strikers, Jon-Dahl Tomasson

by sodhat Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:24 pm

I didn't expect to come back to a full 16 team list and a draw being made! But I'm not complaining about being the Dutch Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:25 pm

I can't believe I can't call up any Legends steam

Might have to do what the Italians do best now and MATCH FIX Wink

Why not? Everyone can call up legends. I have.

Slaven Bilic, Dario Simic, Zvonomir Boban and Davor Suker are in my squad.

by sodhat Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:27 pm

So when do I need to submit my squad?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:28 pm

I thought we said that teams in Top 10 aren't Headscratch

by Marky Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:33 pm

ollyrules wrote:I thought we said that teams in Top 10 aren't

It was suggested but I said everyone or no-one, and it's my game, my rules Wink

There's no rush to be honest.

by **Hero** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:36 pm

Vukojevic/Dujmovic

Modric/Kovacic - Boban/Kranjcar

Olic/Mandzukic ----------------------- Rakitic/Perisic

Suker/Eduardo/Jelavic

If they would qualify under FIFA rules and haven't played for another country in a competitive game then they're in.

by Bull Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:39 pm

need to think who i want...

by **Hero** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:40 pm

So Rafael would be allowed as he's not played a competitive game for Brazil whilst his twin brother Fabio has.

by Bull Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:41 pm

i dont think he should be allowed IMO

by **Hero** Mon 02 Apr 2012, 5:44 pm

Why, it's the rule that is allowed in RL!!!
