New Draft Ideas

[Lee909]

Football was also very different country to country back then. Now its the same game everywhere on the whole

The back-pass rule has been the most significant change in football in my opinion.  It really was a completely different game before that came in. That, combined with the offside rule being much simpler and in favour of the defenders, meant the game was much more difficult as an attacking player.

Could someone add Ariel Ortega (other) for me, please.

Maradona would piss it in this era. Messi wouldn't even be playing in Diego's era, as the hormone treatment he had as a kid was not as available back in Diego's days as it was when Messi was a nipper.

Not sure Laudrup was the right choice for my side now. Had a choice of him, Angloma or a CL winning midfielder, outside of Barca and Madrid. Taking Laudrup and taking up both a Barca and Madrid pick is seriously hampering my defence. 

[Lee909]

Good

He was my next pick and I nearly took him the pick before you.

Great pick mate. I wanted him on the other side of my midfield diamond.

Yeah, I'm happy with him he was a quality player.

I was never getting Maradona, Messi,  Ronaldo, etc. due to my placing in the draft. However, I’m a bit miffed to not get a few players that I wanted from the start. Thought I would get away with leaving them until later in the draft, but came unstuck. Neeskens, Netser, Rep, Goikoetxea.

Your team is really good - definitely can still win. Presumably Neeskens would be picked at expense of Kroos? Well, history will show Kroos as a legendary midfielder in his own right. He's been key to 4 European Cup wins & a World Cup. That's more than Neeskens achieved actually. The contemporary players are prone to either being highly overrated (I suspect a player like Hazard will be sort of equivalent to a Claudio Lopez type in 15 years.. Unless he wins CLs with RM who outside of the PL is really going to remember him?) or under-rated just because time has not added the nostalgic lustre it has to some of the 80s/90s names we discuss (Kroos probably a good example).

 

Will be interesting to read a compilation of the best "other" players not picked at the end of this. There's still a lot of top players left in that bracket.

In my opinion, Neeskens and Kroos could definitely play in the same team. I’m not really arsed about modern footy but Kroos is one player I really like. Very talented and versatile.

They are quite scarce!

Mauro Silva a real underrated pick.

[Guest Alex_K]

Should be able to finish this today 

[Tony Moanero]

Could someone add Luis Arconada (Other 4) for me, please?

Yeah, good pick. A player I considered for quite a while.
