90's Serie A - Draft Thread

I consider Ronaldo the best striker of all time. If not the best definitely amongst the top three along with Gerd and Eusebio but is he the best striker in THIS draft? I am not sure. At his best, no striker was better than Ronaldo. But in this draft criteria, he had what? One and half seasons before that terrible knee injury? So if we consider purely the performances, Ronaldo would be better but longevity matters as well. So, I would say Batigol is the best striker ahead of Ronaldo and Beppe.

Thinking about it, I could deploy Tudor as a defensive midfielder, but that would be counter-productive and take away from his fine partnership with Montero, which was one of the best partnerships in the world in the late 1990s.

Naa. You're better off with Tudor as the centre-back.
 
Beppe was three-time Capocannoniere in the 1990s. He was also very prolific in his other seasons. Although I'm biased, Beppe's goalscoring abilities cannot be belittled in my view. Batistuta was excellent, as was pre-injury Ronaldo, but Beppe's consistency and longevity just shades it.
 
Scoring records don't tell us the complete picture here. The fact that Batigol was probably even more complete than Ronaldo at his prime speaks volumes. You can just give him the ball outside the 18 yard box and he will score a screamer, or put in a cross and trust him to head it in, or a half chance that would be converted without much hassle. Also the fact that he did this in a team like Viola, who went down and were brought up mainly due to his exploits. Add the lavishing hairstyle and that iconic celebration, I cannot look past Batigol.

And I guess we are only talking of out and out strikers, else Baggio would have a pretty good say in this.
 
Batistuta was not nearly as complete as Ronaldo in his prime, that's a pretty bold statement you're making and as far as I can see untrue. He was a very complete goalscorer, one of the best ever, but Ronaldo is the better footballer full stop.

Yes.

My top three players of Serie-A 90s would be Maldini, Baggio and Batigol.

Just a point though, Ronaldo could score all kind of goals too. While he may not be as good as Batigol aerially, he could dribbler past half of the defense on his own and score. It was a nightmare to mark Ronaldo. Someone with such a huge frame, incredibly fast, brilliant close control and a great finisher.

I would add Ronaldo, Weah, Signori and Zidane to that, for varying reasons.
 
George weah n batistuta were the best 2 strikers in serie a in the 90s imo, weahs all round game was unbellievable

Cheers Aldo, delighted to get Jarni at this late stage. Good attacking full backs are essential to my tactical set up and now I have two of the best in the draft. He and Zanetti will be bombing forward at every oppurtunity whilst Zidane and Enzo, a drool worthy combination, will be occupying more central roles. Both he and Zanetti are solid defensively too, the later obviously more than the former, but Jarnis attributes, particularly his athleticism make him difficult to get the better of too. Chuffed with how my defence has turned out, Minnotti and Sensini is rock solid too.
 
Very nice back 4 mate. Jarni is a steal at this stage. Was looking to snap up Sensini late on but still pretty delighted with my defense. It's a shame Signorini was kept out of the National Team due to the riches in defense but had he not been Italian, he would have been capped numerous times. Would also compliment Nesta well, being the blood and thunder defender. Got my fullbacks early on, so can't complain. Both Brehme and Di Livio are world class icons and have performed at all levels. Sound defensively and incisive going forward. And for a change I have a wide formation, so the fullbacks are under less pressure than they would be in a narrow formation.

Brehme finished 2nd in the 1990 Ballon D'or, but that is not a part of this draft. However, he was voted the 8th best player in the world in 1991, after a season with Inter as a part of the draft period.

Don't know much about Signorini to be honest but have heard good things. Wikipedia has him described as the 'one of the last, and best, Italian sweepers' so that's saying a lot, and makes him a great player to have tactically, hard, blood and thunder defender but can play. I mulled over him but chose Minotti instead because I'd seen him a lot more and had no pressing need for a Libero type player. Minotti was really great IMO, I hope his talents are appreciated in this draft, less well known because of the other great Italian defenders around at the same time but would have made a lot of other national teams starting line up IMO.

That's interesting about Brehme, seems like you can justify him as a great choice then. It's clear he was still fantastic at this stage of his career so you can expect a good performance from him in the draft. A lot of talk about peaks in this draft, but with players like Brehme, his quality only waned when very late in his career, in the early 90s he was still the brilliant player he was, but with tremendous experience and know how. You can't go wrong. I followed a similar line of thought when picking Enzo, thought he would bring undeniable genius and quality, combined with great maturity and experience, to work with a youthful and mesmeric Zidane.

I always like teams that are well thought out and constructed in these drafts, teams that seem to have an identity despite never having actually played with each of other. I think my team is like that, great wingbacks, solid centre, fantastic creativity and a multi functional strike pairing. I'm quite pleased, though there are many other great teams, with fantastic players in this draft. Hopefully the sum of my parts will take me far, but even if not, with these drafts it really is the taking part that counts and that I enjoy.
 
Any chance i can drop out? Been busy recently so not had time to focus on this draft. Won't help with me being busy over the next 1 or 2 weeks so mostly will only be able to access the site on my phone which wont help if i do take part in this draft.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
 
Can't help it if you are busy. Doubt anyone would want to take over at this stage. No worries though. Cheers for the heads up.

You will be countered by posters who have picked players who barely managed to make 40 appearances in 90's.
 
my picks:
Daniele Carnasciali
consistend and very good defender for Fiorentina in 90's.

and
Luca Marchegiani:
At one time most expensive goalkeeper in the world. A Lazio great and well respected keeper.
 
:lol: how many of us have tried to pick him now? There's a weird Marchegiani love in going on in this draft for some reason.
 
I've edited the typo on Marchegiani, so that we won't have more confusion regarding trying to pick him.

Stefano Eraino, now I have a few options to playing my midfield.

Donadoni--Berti--Eraino--Di Francesco

or

Di Francesco Berti Eraino Donadoni

or

Donadoni Berti Di Francesco Eraino
 
My pick is Antõnio Carlos Zago. Played his way into a very solid Brazil side during the late 90s in his time in AS Roma, where he was simply known by the Romanista as 'Terminator'.

I can now pick between the 2 successful Milan formations of Sacchi & Zaccheroni. But which one is stronger?

---------Ravanelli--Klinsmann

Jugovic---Rijkaard---Veron---Lentini

Zambrotta-Chamot-Costacurta-N'Gotty

--------------Taffarel

or

--------Ravanelli-----Klinsmann

----------------Veron
-----------Jugovic--Rijkaard

Zambrotta-----------------------Lentini

------Chamot-Costacurta-N'Gotty

---------------Taffarel
 
The 2nd one. Could Lentini really play as a wing back though?

To be honest, I'm not convinced he could. That's my main concern with the 352 formation. N'Gotty was a powerful, mobile defender though so with him on the right of the defence and Rijkaard on the right of the midfield, there would be enough cover to make up for Lentini's lack of defensive capability... hopefully!
 
What do you guys think is the strongest?

4-3-1-2:

512800_Dream_Team.jpg


Or 3-5-2 with Matthäus as a libero:

512812_Dream_Team.jpg


Matthäus was used more as a midfielder in his Serie A days. BUT I like the overall strength of the 352 very much! Not to mention Matthäus could definately excel in that position if called upon.
