Nada Round 001 - Shine on you crazy rookies

Okay, technically this is round 12 or 15 or maybe even 21 for this team, I've lost count. But since this is a new blog, new audience, new chance to make billions in royalties, let's set the game clock again. Time to pick our five to hopefully unleash hell and go from there..

MY USUAL TECHNIQUE

- Pick someone actually playing a game of soccer this week. Crazy I know but you can fill spots with players who aren't seeing any action, just to fill holes. If no one fits that bill, pick the player with the lowest experience so they can learn. 
And maybe get a game next week..

-Highest score from last five games gets preferential treatment. Play well, more chances to shine Fajitas!

-Since I don't know my Liverpools from my South Dakotas, that's about it really. Pick my five, hope they do well, come back and collect another player as a prize for showing up. 

SO GOING INTO BAT...ER KICK THIS WEEK: 

Shuichi Gonda - Annoying none of the trio of Goalies at my disposal have a game this week. So Shui gets some time to sharpen his skills. 

Caio Henrique - Technically Charlie Mulgrew was a few points higher but like Shuichi above, I haven't played Caio yet so that's two players donning the famous Fajita uniform this week. 

Pedros Santos - Amazingly he's the only one with a game on, so welcome aboard Pedros (also hasn't been played yet!)

Ansgar Knauff - All these Defense players, none of them signed to do anything this week. So for the sake of continuing with this 'well we're two members down, might as well run some rookies then' theme that's suddenly sprung up, Ansger gets the nod.

Chung Woon - Hasn't played the last five games and I don't think I've used him at all yet (probably because he hasn't been playing for the last five games there Coach..) so he finishes off the rookie mix for this week!

Captain: Caio Henrique. Highest average out of the the players playing this week so he automatically gets the crown. 

RESULTS AS THEY HAPPEN

Well Rookie round has got off to a good start and by that I mean the barbers in Coming To America fashion in 'Good and Terrible'. At the time of writing there really isn't much going on:

Going into it I knew Shuichi and Ansgar weren't going to play, that's fine, they're there for the experience. Caio Henrique though - what happened to him? Did he take one look at the field and think 'Nah I'm good, it's Netflix time?' There goes that brilliant idea of making him Captain..
Meanwhile Woon had a particularly average day out while we're still waiting on Pedro to do his thing.

Hilariously with only one scoring player so far, we're 50.8% so far which is a bee's knob better than average. Seriously, how bad must those other players below me be?

On the good news side of things, we do get another card because Sorare loves to reward you doing anything by giving you more players, so the Rookie list grows with the Chilean version of Ice Cube here:

Paulo Diaz woke up one morning and got himself a beer before commenting to nobody in particular that both the future was uncertain and the end was almost near. Asked if he was a Doors fan, he pointed out that he has both opened and walked through thousands in his life. Onya Paulo and welcome to the team!

Result: Decidedly average. Onto next week then!
