Yeah Baggio is top pick here and perhaps the icon of the theme, but both van Basten and Ronaldo personally would be too much for me to pass on, being one of my favorite strikers, ever. Also both of them have additional pull in terms of games, and Baggio seems a tad underrated.
Serie A 90's draft
- Thread starter 2mufc0
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
No problem mate. Let us know when you get a chance.
Baggio is the absolute standout for me too given the draft theme, though Ronaldo's Serie A form was jaw-dropping in it's own right.
I know it's too late(way too late) but would've been fun to introduce the 3 foreigners rule even if we opened up the timeframe a bit to be true on the theme.
Could be an interesting variation if we return to a Serie A Draft in the future. It would definitely spice up the drafting process.
Yeah, I also thought about it (especially since I've had my own little Internazionale - 2 Dutch, 1 Brazilian, 2 French, 1 Uruguayan, 1 Belgian players)
Yeah maybe since establishment to 1995 - Serie A with three foreigners rule. A big pool of players and the quality should be spread really nicely.
I mentioned that during the draft. 80s & 90s Serie A with a foreigners rule would be awesome, but you may still need to cut down to 8 managers which wouldn't be popular. Maybe 50s on, but definitely cutting it off when Bosman cocked it all up.
Calciopoli aside, what screwed them up really was Bosman as other leagues really lacked as much local quality depth across the board.
144 Italian players picked from a span of 10 league seasons? What could go wrong.
20?
Must've missed it as a suggestion, but we can open up the pool - just include 30's, 40's etc till 1995.
5-6 decades are more than enough for 16 managers as well.
Do you even know 144 Italian players, let alone the timeline?
I'm a bit wary with 30s and 40s, even 50s. There's really very little to go on, particularly if it is supposed to be Serie A and not World Cup/EC, etc. It's clearly already hard enough to separate with the 90s
That's why unless you go way back it's nigh on impossible to run it with 16 managers. But do you know 72 Italian players? Of course you do, and well enough.
Yeah, that's givenI'm a bit wary with 30s and 40s, even 50s. There's really very little to go on, particularly if it is supposed to be Serie A and not World Cup/EC, etc. It's clearly already hard enough to separate with the 90s
Still there are 20-30 players even from the 30-50's, who are picked even in all time drafts.You'd need 128 most likely in 12 picks per manager. Not that hard to find 16 keepers given the timeline.
Yeah, it's too much even for 2 decades
Limelight for Valentino Mazzola and the rest of that Grande Torino.I'm a bit wary with 30s and 40s, even 50s. There's really very little to go on, particularly if it is supposed to be Serie A and not World Cup/EC, etc. It's clearly already hard enough to separate with the 90s
How does Monday suit guys @Moby? I'm balls deep in work here.
I'm fine with it .
Cool.
Long time since the last Uwe vid...
Can we have a Redcafe Archive already?! These videos and write ups keep getting lost in individual main threads.
@antohan you've been working on one for ages. Just let it rip before more content gets lost.

I created the thread, posted a few links updating the title with every new one and sent the login and password to everyone in that convo so they got on with it.
Nothing happened.
what?
See above. We created a user to own the OP posts and shared the credentials so we don't depend on any one person.
Damned, I should have used it to vote for myself and force a draw in R1
That would have been epic. Whodunnit? Cric cric.See above. We created a user to own the OP posts and shared the credentials so we don't depend on any one person.

Didn’t receive any write ups.
Will wait for Pat to respond, I've been a bit caught up myself lately. Our stuff is mostly ready, just need to finalise it.
Can we get this done soon so that we losers can get back to drafting.
Its impacting my health tbh.
