Inspired by https://t.co/OjIvlQbDhO, but for football.
Draft a Premier League XI from random clubs and seasons. Build your team. Simulate the season.
Can you go 38-0?

Il never understand why we happily pay £100m for a Diomande with 1 season in a top flight league but not £25m for a Rayan or Estevao direct from South America. We pride ourselves as the best data nerds in the business, yet never go direct.. poor.
🚨 Ibrahima Konaté has proposals from Saudi Pro League clubs and will assess all options in the next days.
Real Madrid wanted him but stopped talks in November out of respect for Liverpool; Ibou is now a free agent.

🚨 Club sources do NOT expect there to be any animosity between Anthony Gordon & Julian Alvarez in relation to the Falkland Islands dispute 🇦🇷🇬🇧
The club expect the pair to AVOID politics and be GREAT team-mates 🥰

The trains in this country are absolutely piss take. £2000 for an annual pass Newton to Manchester and every week they are delayed, cancelled or you don’t get a seat. Sort it out @northernassist you bunch of dossers
Big issue with this England squad is the passing quality. Palmer (final third),Wharton (middle third),Colwill (defensive third),Trent (defensive & final third),Hall (crosser) are top passers in their own way. You can’t just have carriers. You need top passers to win tournaments.
The most revealing line in Southampton’s statement is:-
‘We cannot accept a sanction which bears no proportion to the offence… Southampton has been denied the opportunity to compete in a game worth more than £200 million.’
But that completely undermines their own argument.
If the match is worth £200 million and meant everything to the club, then the incentive to gain any unfair advantage was enormous.
And who exactly were they trying to deny that opportunity to?
Middlesbrough.
You cannot simultaneously argue:
1. The stakes were colossal
2. The offence was minor
3. The punishment should be small
The higher the stakes, the greater the importance of protecting sporting integrity.
Takes quite a substantial leap of faith to believe that Southampton spied on Oxford in December (who had 4 wins in 21 games at that point) and then put the binoculars away until they played Ipswich in April
Eckert faces sack and FA ban, sporting director also under scrutiny, owner 'furious', fears sponsors will pull out and amgry players consider taking legal action. All of the explosive fallout from the #SaintsFC spying scandal here @talkSPORT
