those are the best. they actually encourage learning about the game From other players picks & reflecting on merits of past players/ teams. listing balon d’Or winners from the past 30 years ad infinitum is drab.

I know. It becomes a race to get Messi or C Ronaldo then after that the likes of Zanetti/Thuram/Cafu etc. Great every now and then but when 5 drafts in a row are just the same team mixed around it gets shit. 

 

Take it you two are on the list for that I suggested with the list then? I won't start it for a few weeks like.

I'll be in whatever.

 

If we do go with the list previously posted, can I suggest that we drop Bolton & Boro'? Too many English sides, plus those 2 are a fair bit behind the other teams in terms of pedigree, imho.

 

Perhaps replace them with Lyon & Valencia, or equivalent? So...

 

West Ham

Lyon

PSV

Benfica

Fiorentina

Schalke

Everton

Galatasaray

Lazio

Valencia

Leeds

Thats the whole point though mate and if you look at thesis (Boro 1997 for example) they have both had decent players. I personally like the 90's Premier League nostalgia. 

 

I'm still trying to design a draft where I can wedge Jan Age Fjortoft respectably into my attack.

I get that, but, 5 English clubs? Overkill maybe?

 

As I said, I'm in regardless (so long as life doesn't get in the way).

Drafts > Life.

In my opinion, the best draft in ages was the Liverpool one.

[Tony Moanero]

I haven’t got time to commit to researching players, etc., but an England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic Ireland one would be good. Players must have been born in one of those countries, made their professional debut between 1980 and 1995, no more than two players per club.

Cheers, it was definitely the tightest draft I've been involved in.
