If it's easier for you looking ahead!!! 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. :) > BTW, David Dunn is an AM C as opposed to a DM/ MC right? Right. :) -- Cheers milivella

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63mpjgVXnwk 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...) D

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.
