[General_Elegancia]

The late 1990s version of Maldini was a bit different from the early 00s and the peak era(early 90s). However, I have a mission to use him in a different way(unique) from the previous one( we will see it).

Good to hear you are taking into account the type of player he was then.

 

[antohan]

WTF that's what I thought it was also.

I am pretty sure that is the case. Those clubs and international teams are blocked for whole draft

But in that case @Enigma_87 has cocked it up as Denis Law blocks United and Cristiano has been known to play for the same club.

The rule would be better that way, mind.

Tldr, cnut

 

[General_Elegancia]

Tldr, cnut

I was a bit surprise and lucky that no one picked him in first 3 rounds.

 

[antohan]

I spoke with Bepo, the non existing countries are going per place of birth as per usual, so Demyanenko is locked to Ukraine, even though he played for USSR.

Friendlies don't count, only official games.

Wait what? So if @crappycraperson picks a Serbian that's blocked by Dzajic playing for Yugoslavia?

Going back to the ADS example in the op, in 1955-59 he did NOT play for Argentina, only for Spain. That blocks Spain. But then, if you later picked an Argie... well, he is Argentinian and played for Argentina in 1945-49. Same as the Law-CR7 situation, are we just taking the decade activity into account?

Cristiano only played for Real Madrid in 10-14 so he only blocks Real and Portugal.

You can pick players from United and Juve for example.

Same with ADS.

As for Dzajic he was born in Serbia so he blocks the Serbian national team.

 

[GodShaveTheQueen]

Please skip me for now, don't have an idea where I can take this after my initial plans of LvG Ajax or Cruyff dream team have been dashed as usual by others picks. Will ponder and pick later.

@Physiocrat you can pick now

[GodShaveTheQueen]

Can Bastian be picked since Rio blocks United? Or does Bastian clubs only during 10-14 are what one needs to look at?

 

[Physiocrat]

You only need to look at Bastian's clubs between 10-14.

 

[GodShaveTheQueen]

You only need to look at Bastian's clubs between 10-14.

Okay misunderstood the rules thus far I guess. Thanks

 

[antohan]

Cristiano only played for Real Madrid in 10-14 so he only blocks Real and Portugal.

You can pick players from United and Juve for example.

Yeah, I gathered that last night but clearly a few of us were operating off a different assumption.

As for Dzajic he was born in Serbia so he blocks the Serbian national team.

The Dzajic thing is a bit more nuanced.

Dzajic played for Yugoslavia and in his case it translates into Yugo+Serbia block, while others may have a Yugo+Other block.

There's cases of Yugo players later playing for a country different to their birth one so it should strictly be Yugoslavia &/or breakup NT they later declared for (if and only if it's a breakup one) and then birth if that never happened.

 

[antohan]

Bossis is a good pick @Physiocrat , I kept going back and forth on that one

Ultimately, I figured there was hardly any other Scottish or Liverpool player I would mind missing out on

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Nearly picked him..

 

[Isotope]

You only need to look at Bastian's clubs between 10-14.

I thought if you pick Rio, anyone who is/was United and England players is blocked? see this

It means all club and NT the player played during that called 5 year time period is blocked. All time.

If he's played for a different club or NT outside of that 5 year period, they are still open.

For example, if Cristiano played for Portugal and Real during the called 5 year, all players from both are blocked.

However you can pick from United as it's outside of that 5 year period.

 

[Physiocrat]

I thought if you pick Rio, anyone who is/was United and England players is blocked? see this

Yes, it is England too. I was just highlighting which clubs mattered for the player.

 

[NM]

Folks, family member in hospital. Skip or pick for me now as a neutral. I'll be on and off for a day or so

Yes, in my mind that's how it worked, but that was Edgar writing so can't complain much for misinterpreting and taking it as gospel. It's great for you though, you have quite a club collection going there

It's not a huge deal at this stage but would make a massive difference later on and particularly during reinforcements. Don't care, I enjoy it more with greater constraints. In my mind I'm drafting on the basis of reinforcements working on a spoils of war basis. I miss that, really went down to the wire and, well, dumb luck too

skipping @NM as requested with the obligatory tag
@General_Elegancia your turn

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Why was he? I don't get it

you need a reason to block a GOAT n10?

 

[antohan]

you seem to systematically pick players in the half decade after the one I considered them for.

Once I parked Boniek and Bossis it was a pretty frantic back and forth with Dalglish/Souness and Simonsen/Elkjaer.

 

[antohan]

you need a reason to block a GOAT n10?

You mean Messi?

Mind, Messi blocks Barca (much like Iniesta does, making it a pretty random ban).

I'd argue the likes of Pelé and Zico fall into the same category as Maradona. At least with Napoli you potentially block someone. How many non-Brazilians played for Santos and Flamengo at their peak?

 

[antohan]

Feel bad for @NM isn't there another lurker who can pick for him?

Hopefully nothing too serious and that's all that matters, but it would be better if his team doesn't turn into some sort of phantom ship.

 

[antohan]

Elkjaer would have been perfect for him actually

I approve. There was no possible way Maldini was lasting until me but I'm still irrationally angry at the General for picking him
