Thanks for computing all those results, but you don't have to change the
whole game due to my entry, make the skill greatness total of 4.97 the valid
entry!!! If it's easier for you looking ahead!!!

BTW, David Dunn is an AM C as opposed to a DM/ MC right?

Well, it's basically the same thing, since it's Excel that computes
everything anyway...

The point is not just your entry, but something that your entry
highlighted: it's more interesting to search for players that have a
given skill, even if they're not very famous. By the way, it makes it
possible to have more entries about the same skill without the
latecomers losing any hope to catch who submitted his team first.

Then should I have gone for skill only since the beginning? Maybe, but
it's too late now anyway. We'll have two rankings, and I hope that
either one or the other will make sense. I swear that the next time
I'll think twice or more about all the details before proposing a new
game. :)

Right. :)

Do you remember Platini's pose after he had that fantastic goal disallowed
in the 1985 Intercontinental Cup final against Argentinos Juniors? Here,
around minute 1:20.

Well, that's my reaction to you taking arbitrarily taking out Rosicky of my
fantastic Injury Magnets.

By the way, 24 hours are over: did you really pick Andrea Dossena? (shakes
head...)

Some of these are almost random, but it would be interesting to create a
team for the following categories:

Dirtiness = How dirty he is.

Dribbling = How good he is at dribbling with the ball.

Free Kicks = How good he is at taking free kicks in dangerous
positions.

Passing = How accurately he can pass the ball. [Just picking Spain's
formation should be almost a guaranteed winner]
