Someone should edit the list — MJJ made a mistake in his name, so ctrl+f won't workNice pick for R 12. If only he was not picked earlier
Just read the OP it says:@2mufc0 you cant pick Buffon, he only played 2 games in 2014.....only know that as i wanted to pick him for that year and use his different version
Agree, cool idea.After looking at some of the squads, I think the chain had a great impact. Some players selected I would not have predicted and some more familiar names still unselected so far. I think the chain was a great balancing factor overall.
I thought that too.... I'm not sure if that's what Crappy meant but as worded.... yeah.Just read the OP it says:
- Any player who appeared on the pitch in minimum of 3 world cup matches from WC 1930 to 2014.
So he's a legit pick mate.

Think I'd have taken zero breaks and started either end (50s/60s or 2000s) and worked up/down respectively
OR taken one break but held off and only used when a clear strong player was unselected and I needed to grab him quick.
Good draft. Nice to Rensenbrink ability honoured by being picked twice.
I'm still amazed you didn't. You have got some great players and no doubting ability of players like Beckenbauer but Cruyff?I'm still sad I didn't follow my heart and go for the Cruyff-Socrates combo haha
Ockwirk’s one of my favourite ever players. He was on my list from the beginning but I had to change my tactics so much that I couldn’t get it to work. He’s definitely not a R12 player.@Tuppet team is ridiculous, made more so by getting Chilavert in round 10 and Ocwirk in round 12 (second only to the Rensenbrink "selection").
Might want to change spelling on Chilavert though before someone does a search, think's he's not been picked and we have a 'Rensenbrink' mark.2 event.
NopeBtw, can I field Bruno Conti as a part of my South American quota?
He is actually a Brazlian, as Zico himself noticed (reflecting on Brazil’s 3-2 defeat to Italy in the second group phase): “we were playing against 10 Italians and one of ours”
Nope
Already clarified this in here earlier

Lighten up fool. It was a joke
Have you seen him play? Not a dig — a genuine question in case you have a lead to where find the footage of himOckwirk’s one of my favourite ever players. He was on my list from the beginning but I had to change my tactics so much that I couldn’t get it to work. He’s definitely not a R12 player.
It has to be in 1 WC. Else with odd appearance spread.over multiple WCs, it'd be impossible to judge form.Feck. Missed a couple of good picks as I misunderstood it to be in 1 WC
You misunderstood him. He thought that in the year of picking a player should've taken part in at least 3 games. Not in the year that he would use — so, for example, you can pick 2006 Kahn and use him as a 2002 one.It has to be in 1 WC.

I have indeed. My grandfather was Irish but moved to Austria with his parents after WW2 (still don’t know why). He was a massive Austria Vienna fan and used to film bits of the matches he went to with a crappy but effective cine-camera. When I was younger he used to force (at first) me to watch them. I don’t remember many of the players but Ockwirk was always the one that really stuck. My grandfather sadly passed away 7 years ago and due to family disputes a lot of his stuff disappeared. Such a shame because I would have loved that footage.Have you seen him play? Not a dig — a genuine question in case you have a lead to where find the footage of him

I must admit that while wording in Op wasn't clear, I thought the intention was any player would've had to have played 3 games min in the WC he's selected for. Otherwise as EAP says, difficult to assess that player?You misunderstood him. He thought that in the year of picking a player should've taken part in at least 3 games.

Pirlo (2006)
@crappycraperson
Yeah wtf was my first reaction there. Has to be one of the top playmakers in the pool going by his 2006 tourney.Can't believe he lasted this long. Doubtless only because of the chain factor. I'd gladly have had him early on if we'd stuck with that 1994-1998-2002-2006 chain.
