Back in 2007, we started a play-by-email game where you pick U-21 players with fewer than 2 international caps. You get points for every cap/goal they get in their whole career. Because it's based on whole careers, you literally have to wait 15+ years to find out who won the 2007 cycle.
Looking back at our 17 years of data, here are some of our best and worst moments:*
Anyway, we are a group of 10 guys and our next cycle starts on August 1st. It's completely free, just a text-based passion project. If anyone is a big enough football nerd to want to join, send me a DM and I'll send you the rules.

- On 9 May 2017, Jackson picked Vinicius Junior. For context, back then Vinicius didn't even have a Wikipedia page.
- In 2008, I ruined my score by picking Royston Drenthe thinking he was the next Edgar Davids. Marcelo, Pique and Higuain were free and I picked Royston bleeping Drenthe.
