I assumed it would be an actual picture of the player, not illustrations but i guess it only says "appear on a video game".

Also what is actually a video game cover. :lol:
Yeah, that part bothered me as per rule of the round I was sure this fits in the video game part. Cover is usually associated with a book, magazine or the game itself in form of a disk here. However, this is not just a picture, technically it is called a video game profile cover and in that sense it is again by the rule. A bit of loophole to be precise as already mentioned.

I would understood if Michael said no to this and wouldn't push it after the answer. That is why I asked in the first place. On the other hand, I also understand why he accept it though and obviously delighted with it.

Yeah totally fair play to you of course. Great pick.

Gullit and Souness were excellent finds. If that Beckenbauer pick stands, you can count me out of the draft. No idea how that has been accepted. Still yet to see the Moore and Batistuta covers. Hate to be that guy but this round is a shambles with all it's loopholes and dodgy picks.

I already explained to you in detail as above.

I hate to be that guy, but I will be and leave. :rolleyes: Wouldn't have a problem with it if I was on the other side, but hey ho we are all different. If it helps you, I won't play Beckenbauer at all.

It's not your fault. Well, not entirely.
