@Skizzo I'm off to sleep now. I'll just wake up and hike this by 10m. So either take it up there or leave him to me.
Well, an average of 12 players per manager still leaves the total under 200, so some of the best 200 players in history miss out, especially with the auction leaning heavily towards the modern era... Me being one of the guilty parties...Can't believe some of the players that haven't been picked yet....some serious talent still available!! Shame I've got no money left...
Agree with the modern era players. How someone can argue that x from 1960's was a better fullback than a more recent one is a bit risky. The only reason some of the 'old' players are chosen is because we've all grown up reading about them for most of our lives. In 10 years time modern day players will be viewed in exactly the same way if not in even higher regard than those from the 60's/70's. Having said that seriously cannot believe that two 'old' players haven't been chosen. Will hold off naming them until after the auction has finished obviously!Well, an average of 12 players per manager still leaves the total under 200, so some of the best 200 players in history miss out, especially with the auction leaning heavily towards the modern era...

I find it easier not having to explain why such and such can work in a modern system.

Haha fair point.It is risky only if the intention is to win
Aye. It does, ultimately, become increasingly difficult to justify the quality of those from the pre-TV age.Well, an average of 12 players per manager still leaves the total under 200, so some of the best 200 players in history miss out, especially with the auction leaning heavily towards the modern era...

Sure. I don't mind.If all managers can agree that they dont want Anyone on bidding list can we get draw done and move on??

He is just so unbelievably stupid, really, I quite liked him before I read his interviews. And now this image of him is interfering with my perception of him as a footballer.I liked you harms

These two are my favourite quotes about him, and sum his media career beautifully.whats your opinion of Pele then?
Romário said:Pelé, when silent, is a poet.
Zico said:One can never know what comes out of Pelé's mouth and a baby's bottom.
Socrates said:Zico was the king. He was much better than everyone else. When there is a king, the rest fight to be close to the king. When there is no king, everybody loses direction. Society is like that. So it was Zico who should lead. It was Machiavellian, but I was the prince and Zico the king.
