Retro Football Fantasy Championship - DRAFT THREAD
What is different this time round are the players and the competition format.
All players born in the 1960s (1 Jan 1960 to 31 Dec 1969), bar Diego Maradona, are available for drafting. For the purpose of this competition, these players are considered at the level when they were in their prime. Each manager gets to pick 12 players to form a squad.
Competition format is identical to that of the Euros - 4 groups of 4, top 2 in each group advance to the quarters. Group winner gets to pick one player each from the two eliminated teams to add to his squad, followed by the group runner-up's turn. In the knockout rounds, winner of the tie gets to add one player from the losing side to his squad. This means that by the final round, each of the two finalists will have a squad of 16 players to choose their matchday team from.
16 managerial openings for 16 teams.
