    16 would probably be ideal. Get on it.

    Can an admin move this to the football subbie please?
     
  11. Eds E Ames

    Guess we'll start in 20 hours or so regardless of any more sign-ups. Would be nice to have a few more though.
     
  12. Cabinet96 OTN Wood

    If you're looking for more sign ups I'll help you out, but I've got next to no knowledge of football beyond the last ten years, so would basically be doing a modern one besides the obvious names.
     
  13. Eds E Ames

    Yeah, fine with people picking whatever style of team they like. Was hoping to get a 1980s Spurs XI from Heef ITBT.
     
  14. Magrat Garlick M Garlick

  15. MrPrez CM Dyer

    Yeah.
     
  16. SmellyStuff MP Chung

    If you need numbers I guess I could join in but I'd be in a similar position to Cabinet.

    This kind of thing seems much more common in football than cricket, for some reason
     
  19. Weeman27bob BE Force

    I suspect the prevalence of stats in cricket have a role to play in that, but perhaps also the nature of how the game is reported/broadcast?
     
  20. Cabinet96 OTN Wood

    I'm just a much bigger cricket fan than football fan, hence why it's the case for me.

    But yeah, I guess stats is a pretty big thing. It's pretty easy to get a decent gauge of who the best batsman of previous eras are with batting averages than it is to work out who the best centre backs of the 1950's were.
