It’s less than two weeks until the start of the Cup of Nations so it’s time to indulge our imaginations and pit our wits against each other. There’s no Fantasy Football Scout here to help you,  just undiluted old-school gut instinct. Register here (we used it last time around, it’s not dodgy, we promise). One team per person. Use your real name (we realise it’s tempting to call yourself Gilles Yapi Yapo or Yaya Banana but please refrain). The team-picking process is self-expalanatory and you can read the intracacies on the site. The important information:

League Name: Sandals For Goalposts

League Code: 4210742753644

Deadline: 19th January 1600 BST (we will not be accepting any teams that request to join after that time).

The winner will win a copy of Feet of the Chameleon by Ian Hawkey, simply the most complete book on Africa football!

Look at it. You can see the heat coming off it.
