No one chose Cryuff or Pep! My first instinct was try to recreate dream team but then went a different way.

None of my 4 choices were picked by anyone else

1) Bela Guttmann
2) Cryuff
3) Helenio Herrera
4) Rinus Michel

Yeah, the lack of Ajax/Barca coaches is a bit of a pity. Would have thought Herrera is nailed on too.

Way too many safe choices. Should have added a clause the managers career feats and honours will also be taken into account.
 
Drafting starts now, but the first deadline starts tomorrow at 10am GMT.

After that it's the 4/8 hours rule from the OP.

Important: Your pick from the GOAT list has to be pick #1.

If there's no interesting player on it for you, you can pick anyone else. But you'll then have no access to the GOAT list until reinforcements. (RR rules are in the OP now.)

First few drafters: @Michaelf7777777 @Himannv @Enigma_87 @Raees @harms (please see post above as well.)
 
GOATs
Here are the GOAT restrictions again:
Perma-blocked:
Pele, Maradona, Messi

Beckenbauer, Baresi, Figueroa, Nesta, Maldini, Facchetti
Rijkaard, Matthäus
Di Stefano, Platini
Cruyff, Puskas, Zico, Gullit, Best, Garrincha, C. Ronaldo, Eusebio
Fenomeno, Müller, Van Basten

Ugh in the middle.

I think blocking the players that played under the manger influenced things.
 
I didn't go safe, just thought it was an interesting choice given his tactics haven't really been seen at the top level before this season.
 
Alfredo Di Stefano will be my first selection please

Same with Favre (at least during the period I'm thinking of).

No idea if it's never been done like that before, but the mix of elements is pretty special.

First deadline starts now - @Raees has time until 2pm GMT for his pick.

I’ll try and post all my picks with Physio as well, since you Europeans don’t play at normal American times.
Perhaps obvious, but also ask another drafter to take your pick. Physio may not be around at times.
 
Hope everyone dedicates small part in their tactics for choosen manager and his playing style.
