La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga Draft

Thought for some reason, that players who've played in English league are also eligible, that's why asked the Roy Keane question!
 
I'll block Tassotti
Wow. I was actually leaving him (for ourselves ;)) as he's generally underrated in drafts, but I guess, with the restrictions in place, he would actually be a great pick for anyone.

Also, could you take care of the draws until 11 p.m. GMT? I will be at work for much of this time and can only check in when I'm lucky enough.

Everyone else: tag @Boycott until 11 p.m. GMT for picks and decisions.

Sure.
 
That's it, all 48 players have been blocked. Managers have confirmed they are in and @green_smiley is waiting in the wings to undertake the draw. If you would be so kind as to do the first draw to determine the drafting order and post that would be great.

Following that could you please hit 'refresh' on the random list generator to determine who will play whom. 1 will play 2, 3 plays 4, etc, etc
 
My team is gonna be so, so bad.

Alright I dunno how he is rated here, but for my money he's one of the best strikers in the Italian League ever.

I pick Zlatan!

This should get interesting very soon, with all these blocks in place.

I'm pretty sure one of my old faves - whom I've never been able to draft myself - will feature here, and prominently too (one can hope).

And plenty of other gems too.

I demand a redo!
 
fecking bundesliga...... @Balu can you ditch joga and pair up with us :nervous:
 
Glad all those usual suspects are out of the way. Can now get some great players in here. I have two particular players in mind who I'd love to have in my team (childhood idols).

Happy drafting chaps. Thanks for staying with me on this!

Good luck to the newbies too!

@Downcast @KirkDuyt
You'd need to tag Annah for your game (where is he btw? haven't seen him in weeks), he has a big post with arguments that Zlatan is better than we give him credit for (and that he's mainly a creator and not a finisher)
He is a little underrated here, imo. And not always seen as the best tactical fit for the standard formations
