Just to note everyone, that drafting deadlines are now in force. Remember to PM picks for an extra 4hrs pick time. PM to the next manager or Synco
Nostalgia Draft - Winner - Isotope
- Thread starter Physiocrat
- Start date
I'd say best to both, as I will not always be available. (Are you an option too, Physio?)
Oh yeah, you can PM me too.
Oops sorry guys, notification drowned in Werewolf tags.
Absolutely ludicrous what I'm about to do given the top tier game-winning talent available but last night I tried to think of 16 players I would happily have in any one role and with this I couldn't get past 5. Screw having to bang on about some complete randomer.

I wasn't going to guess that
it was even worse when we used to play with Michael16161616161616161616161616161616I wasn't going to guess that
I bet @TheReligion is cumming in his pants at one particular "leftover"
Still kicking myself, don't think I ever had the pleasure to have him, but I joined this for the nostalgia, not to research players or pick ones that don't fit the term "nostalgia".
Sat down yesterday and names kept pouring out. Tonnes of absolutely fantastic players. Mind, a fair few just CM legends. Reckon I'll reserve a sub spot or two for the likes of Maxim Tsigalko.

Good morning. Sorry I was asleep. Ok so I've deliberated over this pick and I'm of the opinion this is a position in short supply of peak years during the game. Plus, like @antohan, I'm a sucker for nostalgia..

Perfect description. No better 3 year peak except for the blocked Messi
I agree with the sentiment, great player and great peak but thats just not true
Why the suspense mate. Add the players who you think had better 3 year peaks.I agree with the sentiment, great player and great peak but thats just not true
I am guessing your picks might be Redondo and Xavi.
Not even on the shortlist of about 20 attacking players. 
Then again, it's more about the theme then his credentials.
Then again, it's more about the theme then his credentials.Yes + few that we cant name + defenders like Nesta/Maldini and other God tier greats. There is also Fenomeno....
To be fair, tough to compare peaks across positions but what Ronaldinho did in those couple of years was just magical as everyone is aware. No one except Fenomeno in attackers come close I think (I personally rate those Dinho years better than Fenomeno's continuous peak)
On that we agree
Nostalgia alright
I was in the sign Ronaldinho camp before he even moved to PSG!
Is the story about Peter Kenyon messing the deal up true or was he always going to Barca?

How would I know? Always assumed it was, more so because it surfaced at the time and later made even more sense when the bastard moved to Chelsea. Something similar happened with Robben as well.
But then, we wouldn't have got Cristiano.
Just wondered. I thought I remember hearing it would have never happened. Although Kenyon had form with Robben as you say
I agree with all that you said, but to be completely honest I have Fenomeno, then Dinho in terms of 3 years peak.
Regardless of position. If we include positional GOAT's then Redondo and Xavi are the ones that can join the pack(obviously Cristiano too). I disagree with Bepo in terms of Maldini and Nesta, who for what is worth don't have a such clear and outstanding peak for three years in a row and in Nesta case for example was mared with injuries during his peak years.
Yeah, won 4 defender of the year awards in a row while he was watching nurses in his hospital bed.
I can see the three-year peak concept is "a thing" these days. If games are going to revolve around that and soiling player reputations I want no business in it. Pot called the kettle and all that, but it's fecking called Nostalgia draft!!!
Maldini? You are questioning Maldini????? Bloody hell.

Hard to make any kind of case against Maldini and Nesta in this era!
