Rafa's Transfer Romp [Winner: Pander88uk]

[Royal Panda]

Under-Fire Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez needs your help! A long string of useless signings have left his side struggling in the league and out of all but one cup competition.

But this is where YOU come in! Take one of his 'flops' under your wing and turn him into a good player, worthy of being in a side with Torres, Gerrard and Reina - compete against the other players and take the coveted trophy, in the process saving Rafa's bacon!

16 players to choose from:

Pick your player and you will be placed into one of 4 randomly selected groups, with two matches against each other player in that group - maps will be simple and also selected randomly.

Win = 3 points, Draw = 1 point, Loss = 0 points.

In the event of two or more players finishing on the same number of points in a group, positions will be first determined by results between those sides. If this cannot settle the stalemate then:

In the case of 2 players - a one-off 1v1 match between those players
In the case of 3/4 players - a one-off game involving all of those 3 or 4 players

There will then be QFs, SFs and the Final, as follows:

QF: 3 matches
SF: 5 matches
F: 7 matches

To ensure a winner in each match.
