Well it was not a recognized league, so I didn't think of banning it explicitly. Feck me, this is a mess now.

And that convo with Onenil was to focus on "played not born" and not on permitting ISL/CSL etc.

There's no room for diversity here.

I literally spelt out I was picking Lucio on account of his time at Goa and being 8th in the ISL. The rules say ANY league.

There have been several picks based on the ISL.

There has been discussion of the ISL involving the draftmaster.

At no point was it flagged that it was an "invalid league".

Yes.

I actually took Pillow's reply even more literally and liberally

Edgar Allan Pillow said:
I'm sure you can think of Europe/American born players who have played atleast 1 game outside of those listed continents.

If I had landed in that box I was actually going to pick a player that played in the old Intercontinental Cup in Japan.

I even asked a follow up question where I specified that the only requirement was literally "1 game outside of those listed continents"

So I was prepared to lobby for someone who played that "1 game" in Japan ;)

Edit: using red for Dropped and Finished was bothering me
 
Come on. One street game in Jakarta ain't gonna count. There always was and will be the FIFA link. You really can't run a football draft ignoring FIFA links.

The Intercontinental Cup was an official UEFA and CONMEBOL match and for two decades before the employment migration to Europe the Intercontinental Cup was taken extremely seriously by players, managers, clubs and fans alike.

A corrupt organization like FIFA's endorsement of "official" should mean feck all in a historical sense TBH because every old timer I know like my gramps, his friends' generation to my friends and I to random old timers I met from both Europe and South America took that old match as perhaps even MORE competitive than anything else.

I can *maybe* understand you not allowing it, but I won't accept the silly logic that some corrupt organization in Switzerland is somehow more important players, managers, fans and UEFA and CONMEBOL

It's got nothing to do with corruption or importance of the organization. It's simply to create a common standard to aid in drafting. Without FIFA you'll get into numerous arguments about local games and leagues and charity and special occasion matches etc. It just makes life simple and common to all drafters and avoids unnecessary discussions over what is legit and what is not. You remember the old times, but most other younger posters would not. There needs to be a common standard and nothing is more obvious than FIFA.

I get the feeling that you're beginning to regret running this draft :D.

Common sense would say the Intercontinental Cup counts as official. UEFA and CONMEBOL should be good enough.

Yes.

I actually took Pillow's reply even more literally and liberally

If I had landed in that box I was actually going to pick a player that played in the old Intercontinental Cup in Japan.

I even asked a follow up question where I specified that the only requirement was literally "1 game outside of those listed continents"

So I was prepared to lobby for someone who played that "1 game" in Japan ;)

Well, while I did think the wording was funny and technically included everyone at the 2002/10 World Cups, I thought that was quite clearly not the spirit of it.

The ISL though was the obvious place to look in for anyone looking for Exotica. The pool for that was there (and by extension the first port of call for Box 7). EAP is right, it's not a league but a retirement home for greats.

ISL is beyond common sense.
To be honest, what I find weird is the interpretation that "playing a game" (FIFA or not) is the rationale behind the box and not "playing for a club".

I didn't even know (or care) about ISL not being recognised by FIFA. It's the premier competition in a country and has a league table was my only concern.
 
@antohan was that excited to find someone from ISL? :lol:

Should have just asked one of us Indians in here.
Was excited about him being worthy of a starting XI while insuring against all 4 corners. I.e. Pupi and Krol (later Box 16 gem) were safe as houses.
 
That's off till the first round matches.
Would be a real shame. The challenge is replacing a player now, not once you have 5 subs.

Preparing for the former influences your entire draft strategy and players you go for. The latter is a cop out.
