What's the consensus of Beckenbauer's performances in the league during the early seventies, was he held accountable for Bayern's poor performances in the league, being one of their leading players? If I'm not wrong, the players willingly decided to shift their focus and efforts on the European Cup, and it showed with their 3 consecutive European Cup victories and poor performances in the league. Also of course, he was in the midst of delivering the 1972 Euros and the 1974 World Cup, so there's that too.

Knew you've criticised Kicker's ratings before but typically enough he's just rated as World Class during those years :lol:



Any other insight on his performance levels during those years, in the Bundesliga, that you might be able to provide? Actually think I might have asked you this before but can't remember.
Poor performances in the early 70's? Bit confused now, we won 4 league titles in the 6 seasons between 68/69 and 73/74 and finished 2nd twice, losing the league to a sensational Gladbach team. Only after the European Cup and World Cup win in '74 and after three league titles in a row (72-74), the team struggled to stay motivated for league games. With Breitner off to Madrid and Hoeneß struggling with his injury, two key players were also gone and the rest just couldn't be arsed anymore outside of big games. Add a few internal fights and Lattek getting fired during the season to it, and you have an ageing team with two all time greats that showed up in European Cup games to get the job done but didn't care about the weekly matches anymore. Don't think there's much more to the story than that.

I will post my pick in a bit but can I confirm whether there is a ban on WC winning players this round? If so, does it include every manager?

No WC winners can be picked this round by anyone, Edgar confirmed this

Card was played in 4th round. Applies to 5th simple as.

Replace a WC winning player using same criteria used to pick the player dropped. No WC winners can be picked this round.
 
finally some titties in the thread, well done.
 
Feel free to send me your picks as I'm on nights tonight and will be up for the next 5/6 hours
 
Nothing wrong with a nice pair of titties; Mrs Santas or Gazzas. I can replace the photo if it's too explicit.

i was once punished/warned for something similar so thats not the worst idea you had :)
 
Many apologies, I wasn't aware. Picture replaced and consider myself warned.

you got it wrong, i enjoyed it :D but dont want you get a warning from the mods for something meaningless as this.
 
yeah no need to apologies, it brought a smile to my face
 
It seems like an apt photo for the man himself and the box name. It's not worth a warning though.
 
Feck me I'm a moron. Just realised Boro didn't actually win the Championship that year but came second. Am I allowed to change it or do I lose my pick?

@RedTiger
 
@Oaencha I think it was wrong anyway you don't pick from box 16 but from the same box that your dropped player came from. Which I think was box 4 for Hummels.

I need to have a read through all the pages because I've missed some important information. Am I allowed to pick again?

You need to pick someone from the same box you picked Hummels from. They can't have won the world cup though.
 
Dropped Mats Hummels who won the WC in 2014

Box 4 - Returnee

Sorry for the mix-up everyone. Just so no one has any advantages, I was going to pick Gazza.

I'm going to sit down and re-read the rules.
