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?

I console myself thinking about all the young men in my country, powerful in their youth and confident in their immortality, who are encountering a Proteas semi-final for the first time. Good. Look upon the void and join us in it.
I know there is a lot made about Willie being a maligned genius or a misunderstood maverick but at the risk of the truth getting in the way of a good narrativeโฆ I just donโt think thatโs true.
He was a favourite of Heyneke and excelled for many seasons. He was only really questioned by Bok fans for a relatively short period between 2017-2019โฆ and even then there was no obvious replacement.
Heโs not Cipriani or Cooper. You donโt play 100 Tests across 3 different coaches without being consistently backed.
Heโs an unbelievable rugby player really. One of SAโs greatest ever. And I think the majority of (sensible) fans would agree.
I sat fairly close to the Proteas today for a while and they genuinely seem like a great bunch of guys who just enjoy each other's company
Often environments like these off the field bring out the best in players on the field as well
