Round 6 Milestone men

These players celebrated their 50th WXV senior match in round 6

David Zaharakis (Rio de Janeiro)
Zaharakis initially played for Sao Paulo before remaining in the country in to play his 50th with Rio de Janeiro. Zaharakis was initially drafted with Pick 38 (3rd Round) by then coach CrowsFan/HoneyBadger

Grant Birchall (Dublin)
Debuted with New York before making his way to Dublin. Birchall was initially drafted at Pick 44 (3rd round) by then New York coach Sid.

Leigh Montagna (New York)
Made his debut with Cairo, before having a stint at New Delhi and now finally at New York. Montagna was initially drafted with Pick 64 (4th round) by then and current co-coach of Cairo, MajorLazer.

Paddy Ryder (Toronto)
Ryder has played his entire 50 games at Toronto and joins that exclusive club of loyal 50 gamers. Ryder was initially drafted at Pick 36 (3rd Round, that's 3 players from the third round this week!), by then and current coach roo boys.

Shannon Hurn (Mexico City)
Hurn started his career with Buenos Aires before making the move to Mexico City. Hurn was initially drafted at Pick 74 (5th round) by then Buenos Aires coach PowerBug.


Now, you see all these players reaching their 50, and all of them were drafted in the top 75.

But none, surpass the greatness, of this players' journey to 50.

Colin Garland (Berlin)
The magnificent stallion is the first player for Berlin to play 50 games for the club (all of them with Berlin), and hence has the club-record for most games played with the club. You cannot underestimate the value of a consistent defender that hovers around that 75-80 mark. I remember, particularly in 2013, I tried to drop him for like 7 weeks in a row, but someone always got injured, so he remained my D4, but, with two centuries already this year, he has developed into a stalwart for me :). I initially drafted this gun with Pick 284 in the 16th round  8)

Well done Col... and the rest I guess.

Poor Sloane will tumble down the list.

[Hellopplz]

Garland has paved a nice little spot in your backline, going unnoticed mostly on his way to 50 games!

No surprise on the others really!

Great work!

Monfries at pick 1495? Felt like a long draft

Any retired players on 50?

Ah, fixed  :P

They're all on your database bro, gotta live in the present  8)

But yeah, should have been more specific, those are all CURRENT players to have played more than 50 WXV senior matches.

Round 8 Milestone men

These players celebrated their 50th WXV senior match in round 8

We've slowed down a bit now, with only 3 more to reach the milestone last week:

Andrew Mackie (Rio de Janeiro)
Mackie brings up his 50th with Rio after starting his career with London. Andrew was initially drafted at pick 135 (Round 8) by then London Coach Cookie Monster.

Brett Deledio (Mexico City)
Lids has now played 50 games over 3 clubs in his career, starting at Seoul before moving to Wellington and now Mexico City. Deledio was originally drafted at Pick 21 (3rd round) by then-Beijing coach bomberboy, who traded Deledio to Seoul before a match was played.

Matthew Stokes (Mexico City)
This little champion notches up his 50th with teammate Deledio, after starting his career out as a mediocre small forward for Berlin, to then turn into a good midfielder (one of the key pillars in Berlin's 2013 rise), before heading out to New York and now to Mexico City. I originally drafted Stokes at Pick 140 (8th Round), and remember him as a reliable soldier for me.

[Jroo]

Sorry Purps, but Stokes is getting a rest this week.

He'll play his 50th next week against you  :P

Luckily for me he played his 50th last week  ;)

Round 8 Milestone men

These players celebrated their 50th WXV senior match in round 8

[Jroo]

Haha flower, I thought they were this week's 50th gamers  :-[

[Purple 77]

Round 9 Milestone men

These players celebrated their 50th WXV senior match in round 9

David Hale (Rio de Janeiro)
Hale was stuck on 49 games for a long time until he was finally called up for his 50th in Round 9. Hale has been around; starting his career at Toronto, then at Cairo, then at Buenos Aires then finally at Rio de Janeiro. Hale was originally drafted with Pick 252 (14th Round) by Toronto coach roo boys.

Heritier Lumumba (London)
Lumumba started his career as Harry O'Brien for Seoul, before being traded to London to which he now has played his 50th match. Lumumba was initially drafted at Pick 196 (11th Round) by then Seoul coach ossie85.

Jack Grimes (Berlin)
This embodiment of frustration started his career at Cape Town, before I hunted him down with everything I had and got him to Berlin. For a guy that promised so much as a potential 90-100 averaging defender, injuries and poor form has stopped him from doing anything close to that. Still, he hasn't been the worst player either. Grimes was initially drafted at Pick 78 (5th Round) by Cape Town co-coach My Chumps.

Jarrod Harbrow (PNL)
Haven't had one of these in a while, Harbrow has played all of his 50 games with PNL, more or less as a dependable defender. Harbrow was initially drafted at Pick 127 (Round 8 ) by Tokyo coach Boomz, who then traded Harbrow to PNL before the first match of the season.

Luke Hodge (PNL)
Hodge enjoyed a great career at Mexico City before his move to PNL at the end of last year. Hodge was initially drafted at Pick 47 (3rd Round) by then Mexico City coach Maca24.

Michael Hibberd (Berlin)
This absolute gun, boy howdy what a gun, has played ALL of his 50 games for Berlin; racking up many club-achievements that I won't bore you with along the way. What makes Hibberd especially awesome, was that I drafted him at a bargain price if you ask me, all the way down at Pick 212 (12th Round)! Hibberd is one of a handful that coincided his breakout year with other Berlin players in our famous 2013-year, where we turned a 16th finish into a preliminary finalist team.

Sam Mitchell (Christchurch)
Mitchell brought up his 50th with Christchurch in Round 9, after starting his career at Toronto and then to Tokyo. Mitchell was originally drafted at Pick 35 (2nd Round) by Toronto coach roo boys.

Shane Edwards (London)
Perhaps the most underrated player in the comp? Edwards has broken out this year (and in the process broke my heart a little) to be a premium forward for London to which he brings up his 50th game. But Edwards played his first two years at Berlin, the first of which he won my Coaches Award, so it's safe to say I've always rated him. Edwards, like Hibberd, was also a key plank in our 2013 year. I only traded him out at the end of 2013 because I was convinced he would lose his forward status, which he didn't, but even if he did, he has proven this year to be worthy of a place in anyones starting midfield. Edwards, was just the one that got away for me  :'(. Oh yeah, one of the major reasons he got my Coaches Award, was because I drafted him so damn late at Pick 401 (23rd Round)!

[Hellopplz]

Happy for Harbrow to reach the 50 games! Slots in well the the D3/D4 position for us and has proven handy in the past. Although the trade to get him probably is going to cost us in the long run (Involved Dahlhaus).

Hodge joins us this season and been in solid form, even outscoring Kade who we traded out for him! Glad for him to hopefully end his career with us ;).
