No Zico No Party. 
Well, some heartless sod blocked Ronaldinho, so it's only fair that my choice also causes some grief.
Welcome ctp.
Nice choices!

The snake draft has killed more dreams than "America Idol"/Prazosin.
You're in NYC?! Unfortunately mine and my fiancées time is rather tight in NYC, 4 and a half days, and she's never been so we want to cover all the tourist hotspots so may have to pass on that beer!
However if you don't mind I might drop you a PM just to get some info on places to eat things to do etc?
Sure. Be glad to help.

I think that's it - I made this list out of EAP's to make my picks. Probably missed somebody - there aren't the same amount of players in each category
Everyone is worthy, but some are more worthy than others, I just don't know that much about football history, I mostly enjoy following the drafts and learning something new on the way

The only worthy manager is one who wins the damn thing. At the beginning all are in the same boat. Welcome to the draft!
And you've officially made my hate list for blocking Matthaus.

Yep, I figured that I would get that a lot
Such a brilliant and versatile playerAldo said the same thing about himself some draft ago and now he's won the recent one.
Tally as of now:
When did Zlatan become GOAT material? He is comparably shit and a tactical arse if you get him, looks more a sheep than anything else when others could get the likes of van Basten or Stoichkov (yes, please!).
No Xavi/Iniesta or Scholes/Keane pair to bully the opposition.
Thuram gone, yet Maldini, Nesta and Baresi still here!
Giggs blocked yet other big names missing.

@BorisDeLeFora can answer that anto!He was being sarcy.
I'll change my DoF midfielder from the blocked Giggs to Socrates
The prospect of getting the likes of Zlatan, Bollox, Brolin or Camoranesi is starting to really annoy me.
Can agree with Zlatan and Ballack as they are in the DoF pool. The other 2 are perfect fits in the Legacy pool.
Brolin is one of the most underrated players around due to his injury in 1994 which he never returned from. Unfortunately for him his great career prior to that isn't remembered at all and all we have left is a player who is judged after his career ending injury.
He fits perfectly in the legacy pool as his history has been rewritten and his legacy forgotten.

I remember him looking like he never forgot a meal.
I agree they are fair representations of a normal player, my problem would be how the feck to use them more than quality. I mean, Gary Neville will do a job at RB and you may not bother with that for a while, but putting together a team in which Brolin/Camoranesi make sense is a completely different cup of tea.
It's more the tactical impact that I dread. The only pool that I'm more or less fine with anyone is the defenders really. That said, it's ultimately random so it can always come back to bite people in the arse anyway. I'm seriously considering picking players I think deserve a real shot, although I imagine some may not be happy to get them
That is true. Like in the Uefa 1992 when Sweden, England, France and the legendary Danish team were in the same group.
Brolin made a meal out of Laudrup's Denmark and he lead Sweden to winning the group, and was a joint top scorer in the tournament, then going out in the semi finals.
On the plus side, if you end up needing to build a team around him your opponent could never claim to be "attacking the space". There's none left on the pitch.
You guys are just jealous. He just has a well developed cheek muscle structure.
Michael Laudrup wasn't playing. Denmark won the tourno anyway.
Good player, but once you HAVE to play him it seriously impairs your side as there are no doubt more than 16 better CAMs/support strikers in this draft.
Never mind anyway, I'm just giving you the cue to laugh hard when I end up getting him, Bollocks and Zlatan.
