I'll be hoping to play something like this, if I can get my picks together.
That's what worried me.
7 in 9 to go.
Sent as well.
It's not that he is hard to fit, rather the opposite. With versatile players people tend to have a notion of where they prefer them and argue/vote against them deployed where they don't prefer them. One of those weird things with "draft psychology".
Gullit seemed to have a similar issue for Aldo before. It is quite common with those who have great workrate, mention workrate and people stop looking at what actually made them exceptional. Bizarre, I know.
He might as well be Italian.
Yep pretty straightforward and easy to understand who you're taking. Would create great CB duo.He might as well be Italian.
I won't be blocking him, you can relax.
Indeed, a lot of times I've seen Gullit as number 10 being mentioned mostly about how he will be taking part in the midfield battle and all, while that is great people hardly mention how he was an absolutely phenomenal and complete attacking midfielder. A punishing one, at that.
feck that. Last time I ended up having to play Anto twice. Sure it aged me by about 10 years.
He'd be one way to squeeze in loads of self-indulgent virtuosi in attacking midfield.
@AldoPaine18 He's the type of player who I'd like driving the ball up forward. With the CF that I am looking for (look at the first message I sent you in our conversation when I got the round 1 rules all wrong) they are two players who can absolutely bully a defence with their ability in the air, with their footwork, or with just pure brute strength. And with Giggs on the left wing, it would certainly be a dream team worth watching. 
can we have a full list of picked and ineligible players?
It's on the first page, my second post, couple of posts after the OP.
I think he's brilliant, especially when you have a central number 10 or playmaker dictating matters (think Rivaldo and Nedved were my first two picks in the CL draft). Laudrup will dictate, but does like to roam as well. But generally it's a decent fit with a bit of care.
I thought you were going to go for him after your Albertini pick in the first round! Some nice teams taking shape so far, with Pippa looking like an early favourite.
Aye - I can see why you'd think that. But my team may not end up as Milan'esque as it could appear. I have a soft spot for Italian players - it could be more a case of that than a case of me going for an outright variation on a Milan theme. We'll see what happens after a few more rounds.
Variation on a Milan theme, you say?
Anything early to mid 1990s with a Serie A tint is a winner in my book! Alot of my favourites from that era have gone already but there's so much depth from that period.
Indeed! It's a gold mine, really - and I suspect I'll be doing more digging.
Variation on a Milan theme, you say?
Well, a variation could be a lot of things. Some variations are so far-out that it's virtually impossible to recognize the original theme.
I feel so stupid, only just realised someone was ineligible... I had him in the 50s draft FFS!
Any team that has no sheep will have an obvious win over any that has a sheep
Sent my pick.
A pivotal pick for my team. Hope I get him!

Freddy Adu has been sent off!
Pele? Don't worry. Anybody could have made that mistake!
Two for the "close but no cigar" category: Belanov (b. Sept. 25th, 1960) and Careca (b. Oct. 5th, 1960).

Don't think so, and remember they could always be subs if you don't get too many. The big arse really is that you are delaying getting the "right" players until later, when they are likely gone. That's what hurts. I look at my targets and know for a fact I can't pull off such a string of hits, let alone not knowing the questions!
OK, made my mind up. Balu, I hope you are not going for the same right winger. Don't think so as he ain't German.
I'm not doing a German theme actually, it's a Bundesliga themeOK, made my mind up. Balu, I hope you are not going for the same right winger. Don't think so as he ain't German.
. So far it just happened that all 3 picks were German. Lizarazu really was the prefered leftback choice .Ah, OK. Stick to German though

Why? You see Brehme as a Serie A chap?
I'll be hoping to play something like this, if I can get my picks together.
That's a stunning side already! Find that CD player and you are rocking.
Coat.
I didn't plan to go for Brehme early (which was always necessary to get him), and I really like Lizarazu, that's why I was so angry when he was banned . I don't plan to pick a right winger though. If I go for a system with wingers, Müller most likely will play there. Not 100% sure yet what I do, but it makes no sense to pick a player for that position with Müller already in the team.

Very interested in this criteria. Without any research or heavy thinking at all, not many spring to mind for me. I'm convinced that 2 or 3 of the ones I'm thinking of will be taken up in this round.
Yeah, I reckon a bunch of folk will still be scrapping for picks come round 3 here.
