In the third round of the Alduria Division draft, the teams choose...
Punta Santiago FC: Fabien Villeneuve
Alexandrian-born goalkeeper, 29, who played for the Jaguars franchises in Joya City and then Judah in Caputia. Under-21 international in 2008, but no senior caps to his name.
Imperial FC: Alan Moore
Like first-rounder Adossi, Moore's international influence was limited substantially by the consistent form of Rodney MacLeod, though was in the squads for every Hammish tournament victory. Now 31, the 'keeper's experience includes spells at a very successful Morfaga North Rangers and then Morfaga Olympique.
Piriya FC: Oit Trejov
The youngest player in the draft at just 23, the striker last played for Judah Jaguars after a spell at Maccabi Judah. Was included in Taeland's 2014 World Cup squad as a reserve player.
Behaurnais Tigers: David Große
Despite being just 31, the defender is one of the few current players whose international experience stretches back to the origins of football on Micras. A starter for Monovia at just 18 in 2006's inaugural World Cup, he was eligible for Hammish Monovia but was never called-up. Played for Real Loredo in Alexandria and Real Porapa in Caputia.
Susa Buccaneers FC: Gil Zeimoto
Born in Taeland but represented Hamland internationally, and featured in their 2012 World Cup squad. A 29-year-old goalkeeper whose career has seen him play for Ad & Tkir United and Stade Tkir in his hometown.
Gramercy Titans: Jérôme Koné
Younger brother of now-retired defender Didier, who featured for Alexandria's full team. The 29-year-old forward has not received any senior call-ups but did play for the Under-21 side in 2008. A handy striking option for Olympique Créçois and Morfaga Olympique in seasons past; his winner helped the latter to the FAC Premier Cup final.
Aldurian Army FC: Milos Husserl
The first Hammish Monovian-native player taken in this draft. Central midfielder fond of a robust challenge, his competitiveness will fit well with his military-aligned teammates. The 27-year-old previously played for Guul Wanderers and Guul County.
Fontainebleau Union FC: Alex Gomze
A clever striker, 29, who fell foul of his native Taeland's insistence on playing with just one up front, missing out on playing more due to the quality of Tim Turner. Called-up for two World Cups and three EMU finals, in the 2014 edition of which he scored a group-stage penalty. Formerly of Ersoy Pirates and Real Porapa.
Carrillo Fury: Tximista Erentxun
The 28-year-old centre-back earned a starting role in Valencia's final two tournament appearances, helping them out of the group stage in the 2015 World Cup. A Trévoux Knights and Knights O'Groppa alumnus.
Altus FC: Martin Trachisi
Another whose senior career hasn't lived up to a promising youth display. A 2008 Under-21 starter for Alexandria, the 28-year-old right-back has featured for Franciscania Athletic and then Garrak Athletic, but has no full caps.
Aldurian Navy FC: Aaron Mor
A persistent back-up goalkeeper throughout both his club and international career. Deputised for Hamlet O'Groppa United in Hamland and Knights O'Groppa in Caputia, and was Taeland's second choice in all their tournament finals squads. Now aged 30, he will be relishing an expectant number one role.
Pirates FC: Frank Saunier
A central defender, 30, whose domestic form with Ad & Tkir United and Stade Tkir, though solid, had not earned him any call-ups for Hamland or Caputia. Spent a loan spell in Craitland earlier in his career.
Tudela Stampede: Gordon Mooreland
Was included in Taeland's 2014 World Cup squad, as a third-choice goalkeeper, at just aged 20 despite minimal appearances for Maccabi Judah. The 25-year-old was most recently part of Judah Jaguars' setup.
Ahvaz United FC: Perdaf Ellikon
A wide midfielder, aged 24, whose career overlapped with last pick Mooreland's. Played with Judah Jaguars after starting off with Maccabi Judah, and was included in the Taes' 2014 World Cup squad at just 19.
Punisher FC: Gurak Troblinsk
Taeland seems to be the flavour of the third round, as another who featured in their 2014 World Cup campaign as a teenager is taken. A central midfielder, 24, who has club experience with New Kirrie Thistle and Imperial New Kirrie.
Valenciana United: Josep María López
Whoever heads Valenciana certainly understands their fans, with a second former Valencia international being picked to join the roster. The 29-year-old defender, who featured for Trévoux Knights and Knights O'Groppa in the past, was in the squads for World Cup 2015 and EMU 2016.
Punta Santiago FC: Fabien Villeneuve
Alexandrian-born goalkeeper, 29, who played for the Jaguars franchises in Joya City and then Judah in Caputia. Under-21 international in 2008, but no senior caps to his name.
