Gaming Football Manager 90s draft (1995/96 season)
- Thread starter Tuppet
- Start date
You'd think Italians would have a fine diet! Flipping DonadoniCurrent Injuries:
Best Unpicked XI:
GK: Andy Goram
A big miss given a lot of Rangers and Celtic fans would rank him as high as anyone in the early-to-mid 1990s. A sensational shot-stopper who often single-handedly foiled Celtic's league title challenges, especially latterly under Tommy Burns. And while Rangers are shite now, at that time they were pretty much the best these islands could offer.
RB: Manuel Amoros
Admittedly 33 by the time the game starts, he'd still offer quality, experience and the valuable versatility you'd want from a back-up by being able to switch sides.
LB: Ramon Ramirez
No standouts at left-back apart from this man and PSV's Jan Heintze. Depends how the game is set up, but if this swashbuckler had the potential Mexicans saw in him in the early 1990s, he could have been a one-man flank for years.
CB: Thomas Berthold
I thought Brazil's captain of the early 1990s Ricardo Gomes might have slipped entirely before @Xeno picked him at the death and, on the whole, the centre-half pool was very deep. Still, Berthold was only 30 when the game starts and first choice for Germany through 1994.
CB: Celso Ayala
The other half of Paraguay's impenetrable defensive duo alongside Carlos Gamarra. Probably boasted a better club career than his international partner and was the stalwart behind the great River side of the mid-1990s.
CM: Leonardo Astrada
Twice in the South American Team of the Year and in 1995 had established himself as first choice in the stacked Argentina midfield.
AMR: Marcelo Gallardo
A regular for Argentina through the first half of his career, a class act for River and Monaco.
AMC: Marco Etcheverry
As @oneniltothearsenal says, probably Bolivia's greatest ever player and a key man in their golden era through the decade, instrumental in inflicting Brazil's first ever World Cup qualifying loss, and in reaching the Copa America final in 1997.
LM: Yordan Letchkov
In his prime and unlikely to present the AI with some of the ego-related issues that coloured his club career.
ST: Luc Nilis
Plenty of reliable goalscorers didn't make the grade - Polster, Sukur, Garcia, Bobic, etc - but this man was superb at getting the best out of more talented strikers as the performances and testimony of Ronaldo and Van Nistelroy show.
Subs:
Sergio Goycochea, Roberto Mussi, Jorge Bermudez, Alexander Mostovoi, Blanco, Luis Hernandez

Ohh crap
, Stefan is a far better player as well. Sorry man, I'll change them now.I am not really sure, his stats are all good and he is not injured.
@Tuppet
Taffarel over Schmeichel, Gullit on the right wing, Hassler in central midfield. I really appreciate all the work you’re doing for this but is there any way for me to pick the formation?

Well, there is another mistake for some reason 2mufc0/gio have taken the Manchester United spot in CL. I don't know why that happened, but they were the last team I created so some setting might have remained. @2mufc0 @Gio guys are you okay to play the extra games, or do you want me to restart the whole thing. I couldn't find a way to remove you from CL draw. You have midweek match coming up against Real Madrid as well.
Hierro is monstrous. 3 goals as a CB already? Mijatovic also seems to be on fire 
And all that without Rivaldo... he's going to be my "like a new signing".
Cheers, @Tuppet
Only lost once to Ronaldo's genius

Big Al Shearer with 7 key passes. Exactly what he was brought in to do.
Cruyff
Wenger seems to be focusing on the right things: "It's water off a duck's back. I'm not bothered by it and more importantly, neither are the players". You've just got trashed 5:1
Yeah sure I was struggling with full backs to be honest. At the end of one generation (Amoros, Bergomi, Brehme), the next one still emerging, some of the current one not that special. Even amongst those unpicked it's the same with Mussi, Nilsson and then Manuel Pablo, Gary Kelly, etc.
Sorry man, I can fire your manager and hire someone else if you want. But I don't know any way where you can pick the starting XI. Its very early in the season though, lets wait a few more games.
LVG u boring twat 2 0-0 in 3 games
Crack on - I don't mind and not fair to impose a false start on everyone.
Quite excited to see 15-year-old Aimar get a run out already and intrigued by Ortega's no9 role - Heynckes you diabolical genius.
Cafe League - Update 3
Zola with a hat trick.
Looking forward to seeing what Rebrov does too, his record was sensational around that time.
Gary Kelly, two assists from RB. Legend!

Ronaldo carrying the team as expected, but so far it's working.
Well I am happy to provide you a morale boost
I don't need a morale boost
I'm not surprised
I don't need a morale boost
I'm coming for you next

In 10 years time we will compete with the likes of Harms FC
Finally a win!
Cantona . Cheers for the updates @Tuppet ! If it's convenient is there any chance we could see the league table?
