The first season saw plenty of notable names take in tournaments across Germany, the UK and the USA.

Players included former top-flight stars such as Henri Lansbury, Marvin Sordell and Jordan Ibe.

And season two looks set to add even more stars that were once on the books of Premier League clubs.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, 28, was one of the biggest names on the draft list.

He was given his United debut back in November 2015 by Dutch manager Louis van Gaal.

He came on as a late substitute against West Brom as United ran out 2-0 winners at Old Trafford.

Due to an injury crisis at the club that season, he ended up making ten appearances in the Premier League.

He also played three times in the FA Cup and once in the Champions League – earning 47 minutes in a 3-2 defeat to Wolfsburg.

Borthwick-Jackson fell back down the pecking order and eventually left United permanently in 2020.

He has since had spells at Oldham Athletic, Burton Albion, Slask Wrocław and Ross County.


He was the 26th pick of the draft as he joined up with M7 FC.

Nile Ranger, 34, came through the ranks at Newcastle United and is now in the Baller League.

He became the 33rd pick when he was selected by N5 FC.

The forward played 26 times in the Prem for Newcastle United but never scored a top-flight goal for the club.
