I didn't say Van Basten was poor in 90's. He is one of my favorite forwards ever. I just said Van basten was better in 80's.

I am just pointing out to really clarify myself regarding draft. So, we can pick players even if their peak was not 90's and it was for short period instead of players who had better record in 90's.?

Maybe his peak was late 80s, but he was still on top of his abilities in early 90s, you can't argue that.
 
Well obviously you can pick whoever you'd like within the set criteria. But it is up to the 'manager' to sell his picks within the rules which state, during their prime in the 90s. E.G. Regard the player at his best level he reached in the Serie A during the 90s.

With drafts like these there will always be some ambiguity regarding the rules and judging system because it isn't exactly empirical evidence we are judging teams on here.

It's an overall impression of a team, that is all made up of individuals that all the different voters have different opinions on. Hence there will always be controversy and disagreements regarding picks and who's better than who.

One way to make it clearer could be to pick a player from specific seasons. E.G. Van Basten of 90/91 or Matthaus of 91/92. But this would be very complicated when we enter the range of lesser known players.
 
Others will think I am nitpicking their picks too much. I will keep quiet for a while :D

I understand where you are coming from, but I believe that a lot of this will have to resolve itself when the teams are pitched up against eachother.

The managers will have to argue to why their team is better within the confines of the 90s. They will also be able to criticize the opposing players in regards to stuff like this. E.G. you can point out weaknesses if you think some of their players wouldn't be able to keep up with yours at the end of their career in the 90s.

It will be outlined in the OPs of games, 'peak of the player in Serie A', it cant get any clearer. Anyway, it will be up to the participants to point out the strengths and weaknesses of their and their opponents teams, as Zlatanish has already begun doing, by stretching the truth a great deal i must add, in order to assert that it is their team which is the best 'during their peak in Serie A'.

Well it said, performances of the player in that decade will be considered.
 
I have only just noticed that we have changed it to Serie A. I do not have much knowledge on this era, so if it is not to much trouble I would like to be swapped, but until we have found a replacement i will continue to pick.

I choose George Weah.

Don't get me wrong. He is one of Juve's finest ever. But let's say 90's was not the Zidane's peak. He was really inconsistent for first two seasons in the league, his peak was after 99. That Ballon d'or was for France. He only won Serie A player of the year in 2001.
and Juve won the Serie A's because they were the best team not because of Zidane tbh.
That cl runner up you are talking about, he really was poor in the game.

Zidane was part of the team that won the league, an integral member.

They hadn't won it the year before he arrived, it was Milan dominating. He was a revalation and he wasn't inconsistent at all, no matter how much you repeat it!

Do you not remember the Milan-Juve game from Zidanes debut season? 6-1 to Juve at the San Siro, with Maldini playing.

Yeah, Zidane wasnt great in the CL final, but he was very good in helping them get there, as you yourself admitted.

Ok even though he peaked in the 80's, he was still a force in the early 90's. Therefore I go for Frank Rijkaard.

Great pick mate, looking forward to seeing who Brwned goes with now....
 
I've no clue who I should go for and haven't actually had a chance to think things through properly at all but a top #10 has proven to make the difference again and again and there was no Serie A #10 more loved than Rui Costa*. Just oozes class.

*Alright, with Baggio as the exception.
 
Shit, really thought Rui Costa would have slipped through the first round picks. More hope than anything. Great player to have in this draft.

Integral member but not the key member.

You are getting me wrong mate, Zidane will most probably be in my 90's Serie A best x1 but I will repeat that 90's was not Zidane's prime. But anyways, it does not matter as we are not considering whether the player was at his peak in 90s but how the particular player's best perfomances were in 90s

Was Maldini also integral but not 'the key'? Surely so.
 
No, he was God.
:)
Again, like I said, I thought the draft was regarding contribution for most of 90's decade rather than peak for 1 or 2 season which is not the case so for which Zidane is good pick.
 
Can we agree that whoever replaces Rahim can choose to pick anyother player for Weah if he doesnot want him.

I think it's better like this, otherwise it turns into a statistical battle, with everyone rushing to get all the Milan players because of the decorations next to their name.

It's a still a one off game left to be played, how longevity can come into play in them is quite dubious.
 
Anybody willing to play instead of me? I have no idea about Italian football in the 90s. Also, I can't be as regular here as i thought i could.
I'll play if nobody wants to replace me, though, in the spirit.

Can I take Rahim place, so the next replacement would be last on the pick order, and have more time to pick his/her player? :angel:
 
Would CAPTAIN16KEANO be interested? he's on the last draft.
 
I think they were joking but it's obviously not happening in any case. The draft's being put on hold until everyone's confirmed they're happy to take part in a 90s Serie A draft, AldoRaine as the organiser (ha, enjoy) can email everyone in the list to make sure. No-one else can make a pick until that's done.

I did that already.

If it is not a problem with people who have picked so far, can we extend it to 2005, to make it okay with people who are doubtful with just the 90s players.

No problemo. Although a lot of star players would be basically the same as on the late 90's :lol:
