Damn phone.It's Murtaz.
Cheers folks.
Delighted to get Szymaniak as the last outfield player. I suspect his role will be open to debate but there's no question he'd revel in a team set up to dominate possession, filled with 10 others who know nothing else.
Plan on making a video of him vs. Sweden in '58 just to break down that familiarity barrier.
I wouldn't bother mate. Liedholm made him look like a pub player in that match. I'm lying, and I look forward to seeing the video!
He's ineligible, sadly — no games available.I think if you'd gone the Gre-No-Li trio I'd have went for a video of the France game instead.

haven't ruled out that possibility myself! Pretty sure this is the only WC semi final I've never seen, post-54. Look forward to it! It was a great Sweden team.
I think if you'd gone the Gre-No-Li trio I'd have went for a video of the France game instead. Your setup's quite different thankfully!
I might try and do a video of them facing off against each other...but it's hard enough to keep track of one player in grainy footage with no commentary, never mind two!
Apart from the god-tier players, how was the block list determined, out of interest?
Is that draft consensus developed over the years, or something else?

Ah right! That makes sense. Was trying to figure out how it came to be, or if it was set in stone.A lot the blocked and starred players are ones that feature regularly in drafts.
The idea for this one was to pick players who aren’t featured that often.
That's a challenge and a half, especially in a draft format with experienced drafters!I think it was a combination of quality and popularity. Lots of players in the block and stars lists are debatable worse than available players, but frequently go unpicked in favour of more familiar names. The idea was to reverse that trend, I think.
I'm a fairweather drafter so resorted to familiar modern players instead! But that waa parr inspired by your thread actually. Trying to embody a decade of football, tying together the dominant stylistic and regulatory trends with the most prominent teams.
The problem was, once I set out to do that I realised there were more big games excluded from previous generations than this one...somewhat snookered myself! But it also seemed easier to find one style (or combination of styles) that authentically represented a generation. Part of the superclub generation I guess.

@Don Alfredo
He looks so excited to be joining you guys.
It would have been a crime if he hadn't been picked.
He was hoping to join his mate Seeler but joins Team Jimmy McNulty instead
Is anyone around to take my pick? I reckon we might get a run and I'll probably be asleep by then
I am around
