That's unlucky. But it was cleared up in the thread when someone had the same doubt. I thought I was pretty clear when i wrote Champions League OR European Cup, basically the same competition with different names before and after 92.
Anyway nowt can be done now, just make sure to clarify in case you are in doubt in future.
Edit : And also, please don't mention any detail about your player till the round is over. We need the remaining ones to be in complete darkness about the ones who were picked. Cheers.
Will be nice if you could edit your post.
Yeah its entirely my thought, my pick isn't too bad anyways.
I feel a bit sick for van Basten, btw. He was my first choice, before I changed the pick. I didn't want him to be blocked, what a player he was. Always underrated in these draft games and now he's banned 
why was no one blocking?Because he might not be picked at all with everyone, really everyone not picking him
There needs to be a consistency so the rule of not naming any unpicked players has to be followed strictly.
3 to go.
again interesting that it is the only ones blocked this time round are of European origin. I am amazed that at least two players from other continents didn't get blocked (use of the word origin to be noted)
Which would mean you took my man seeing as the other three obvious choices are picked or banned. Unless you went for one of them 1986 peno shooters. Had forgotten how brutal that was
Hope the other 3 send in their picks soon

Good to see that everyone is enjoying this format.Because they are a bunch of idiotswhy was no one blocking?

From what i've observed from other drafts, he seems like a player you would pick tbh. Although i could have done with a certain German from that 86 final.
I think I know who Sniper went for

That must be a really short essay.
NM got back to me, I just sent in our pick.
2 to go.
So @Gio and @Edgar Allan Pillow left to pick I assume?
Just Gio and MJJ left. Sully sent his and Edgar passed in first pick.
No, I'm far from finishing it. Deadline is a week today so no pressure
But, I'm swapping from the word document to this thread two times in a minute I'm sure! Except he is 50s and couldn't score a peno because he was subbed. That's an absolutely brilliant Schuster story. He left the stadium, hailed a cab and the cabbie turned round going "WTF? Shouldn't you be in there?". Listened to that horror story of a shootout on his way to the hotel. Gleefully I'd guess.
Not eligible - the German, I mean.
Oh yeah missed out by one year.
I actually went with Platini first as well lol, i've had a shocker this round.
why was no one blocking?
Not no one blocking, the question is why no one else was picking! That was one of my most compelling signals I thought: why waste the pick on blocking Rijkaard when you either block or have an outside chance at HIM. Crick, crick, Jayvin, crick, crick.
Obvious pick is obvious?

@Snipers Breath @sullydnl Please include me in the convo when sending your picks from next time. I'm helping Aldo out. In case in the future he can't make the reveal it would be good to have all your picks.
and i think people seemed to take my advice of going for a defender this round a bit too seriously (i know i am giving myself too much credit)
MJJ and Gio left then?
Who don't you play one of these drafts?
My mistake, i'll add you to the conversation we use now.
Edit: Actually, NM started that conversation so he'll have to add you to it. I'll let him know.
When I remembered Maldini's goal I just went, "Well, there's our next Nesta". Felt really tempted to take a pop at the bigger guns once I saw that, I could see more on Paolo than HIM.
I love how you have all those theories about why everyone did whatNot no one blocking, the question is why no one else was picking!

.I love how you have all those theories about why everyone did what
No theory, I know Jayvin never read that. If he had, it made sense. You could still go for tonnes of players, but never Rijkaard over HIM, made zero sense.
So how does my pick make sense then?
Seeing as it went through at the first attempt, it probably did. Don't you think? That's what worries me!
got a kid less than a year old, and i am not sure when something will come up at work and i would hardly have time.
and there are loads of people way more knowledgeable than me
and my opinions are usually not mainstream so i would lose mostly in the first round itself
