Serie A vs La Liga Head-to-Head Draft

Here's the thing: Matthäus is still an amazing block, but with the wealth of talent around in Serie A, I was thinking of someone else. I don't regret this block at all, though.

For me, it's tough to really get 3 blocks that would be significant for the Serie A drafters. I was thinking of one of their star attackers, but this is still fine.
 
Mmmm I would have blocked another certain Milan player ahead of Lothar. Can't argue with Baresi or Maldini though
 
Speak of the devil

Will the drafting time limit be enforced tomorrow, @Marty1968? Or will it start as soon as Skizzo makes his first pick?

I would have blocked Baresi, Matthäus and van Basten.
 
Feel like I'm going to be badly outclassed by other people in here. Don't have that much knowledge as the rest.
 
Would be interesting comparing qualities of respective league's picks as the draft moves along.

Sorry chaps been busy this afternoon.

Blocks have been made, the picking order is as follows and the two drafts will run in parallel. The time limit is 8 hours for both leagues so will need to keep an eye on time limits.

Please make sure we copy both leagues when we make our picks so that its easier to keep tabs on both leagues at the same time (just like Viva has above). You obviously only need to tag the next player in your own league though.

RAÚLRAÚL GONZÁLEZ BLANCO
1992 · 2010
Madrid (España)
27/06/1977
HONOURS PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
Born winner, undisputed leader, Madrid fan at heart
Position: Forward
Games played: 741
Goals scored: 323
Spanish international: 102 caps

A Real Madrid symbol. The eternal captain who represented Madrid’s values on the pitch. Raul was a forward with an almost infinite instinct. He was an example for everyone, putting in the maximum effort in every game, irrespective of the opponent. He would give it his all, having an insatiable appetite, something that was evident with each action. He was always alert for rebounds. An excellent role-model for anyone who has ever dreamt of being a footballer.

He was born in Madrid in 1977, in the suburb of San Cristóbal de los Ángeles. Ever since he was a child he showed a passion for football, and he excelled, a champion in the making. Initially playing for Atlético Madrid, he signed on with the Whites’ youth teams during the 1992/93 season. He scored 13 goals in seven games. With these references, Jorge Valdano made him debut with the first team the following season.

On 29 October 1994 Raúl lived his first great moment with the Whites’ shirt. The forward made his debut at La Romareda Stadium. A week later he played his first derby against Atlético Madrid at the Bernabéu. He scored his first goal with a spectacular left-foot shot from the edge of the area. It went into the top corner, and contributed to his team’s victory (4-2), who went on to win La Liga title that season.

Acclaimed in Spain, he conquered Europe. He played his first Champions League game at the age of 18. On 20 May 1998 he was in the team that won the club’s Seventh European Cup title beating Juventus Turin in the final. He repeated the experience in May of 2000 and 2002, scoring in both finals. He is one of the few players to have earned 100 caps with the Spanish national team. He was the symbol of the national team, as well as of every other team in which he has played, Schalke 04 and Al-Sadd Sports Club.

HONOURS
3 European Cup
2 Intercontinental Cup
1 European Super Cup
6 La Liga
4 Spanish Super Cup

No backsies

6. If an ineligible player is selected you are stuck with him. If a second ineligible player is selected, you will be given a sheep.
