Tag me when it gets to Harms I've got his pick.
Nostalgia Draft - Winner - Isotope
- Thread starter Physiocrat
- Start date
it should be @harms now, i think
Why does Rijkaard go so late? Am I missing something
Because it’s pretty much just his time at Ajax at the end of his career that falls inside this time frame I think.
Which was still very good right? And since it's from 92, the last season at Milan also should count?
Surely you shouldn't be getting involved and naming unpicked players?
Rijkaard is already picked mate
Apologies.
I should have known better than to suggest you'd be engaged in draft pick tomfoolery.
Probably. I didn’t really cross reference the dates and what’s eligible, just why he was probably put off for a while. Don’t think he’s ever really a bad pick
It technically not his "peak" but arguably quite close to not make a difference at all. I was debating between him and Kohler and gambled he's last back to me.

@Isotope
Left my pick with P-Nut & Synco
I have a feeling I will be very angry tomorrow morning
@Isotope from the OP:
- Any player GOATish picked who had their genuine peak prior to 1992/3 season needs a short write up to explain their ability and general role in their declared years. So if they would always be picked as a B2B in an all-time draft but in the declare peak here they were a libero, a short bio explaining their ability in this role will be required.

@Jim Beam
Well aye. Generally he no longer played as the Milan box-to-box midfielder at Ajax, but in a deeper role splitting his time between defence and the base of midfield. But still very classy. And influential too:
- 1 season at Milan - 92/93 Serie A winners and finalists in the CL
- 1992 Serie A footballer of the year
- Ajax - became best team in Europe with that incredible 94/95 campaign winning league and CL
- 94/95 ESM Team of the Year
Then he retires at just 32. Apart from Cantona I can't think of anyone who has called it quits so close to their peak at the very top, is there anyone else? Zidane obviously retired at a World Cup Final, on the back of a great tournament, which tops Rijkaard's CL final, but was 34 and had dropped off at club level quite a bit from his peak.
I don't question his quality but I am not sure how well his Ajax version dovetails with Pirlo. Would be interesting to see how you deploy him.
That is disappointing to hear. I can't tell you why without pissing off @TheReligion
Don't be like this with me
I am just joking manDon't be like this with me
Yups, angry man here. Angry with myself because I thought he would go and, of course, after not picking him I started talking myself through all the reasons he was perfect for the job.
Good thing I didn't waste much time doing my Pelé paint job.

Yes indeed, this is the one and only trophy you are getting here @antohan
Bad lazy-ass research design: "if I knew the guy in the 80s I'm not gonna bother". Exceptions for Batistuta (88) and Redondo (87) as I tracked Argentinians from very early in their careers.
Cue overlooking a guy playing two World Cup finals in the 90s.
Batshit stuff.
