FIF Fantasy Draft - Serie A 90s Plus version

So figured I'll make a new thread and see what the interest is since theres several people who have not much to do these days.

The idea is that the eligible players will be those who have played in Serie A in the 90s and mid 2000s.
That basically means players who played in at least one season from 1900-91 to 2005-06.

There should be a limit of perhaps how many games the player played. I think 25 league games is enough, which allows for players who played for one season in Italy to be eligible, as long as it was a full season. I'd say 30 but that would penalize the one season guys from the 80s since the league was only 30 games long until 1988. Or we could say 50 games which will filter out most players who played under 3 seasons during this time.

Based on the interest level we have, we could have a league or group format, so that you don't lose out after one round and every team is matched up against the other and then we have a final or playoffs or something. Could be split into two groups of just do a round robin of all teams involved if it's just 8 of them.

We get to pick 14 players, which will be the starting 11 and 3 subs.

[Updated first post to avoid confusion due to changes in years]

One last thing, I know last time it was just 8 teams, but the ideal here would be 12 teams. The talent pool is insane.

How will the player draft be done and how does scoring work?

Well, not sure if ADRossi wants to take over the situation, which I think is preferrable as he can set polls and stuff.

But the idea is that we make a random draw, do a snake draft and the scoring will be based on matchups between the teams. Since we're opting for a league format, I'm guessing we can do the following:

3 points for win
1 point each for draw (if the poll can be set with a time limit)
0 points for loss

And we can count "Goal Difference" in the amount of voting differences there is between the teams.

So Lui vs Brehme, you win 10-4, so you get 3 points and a +6 in GD while I get 0 points and -6 GD.

I can make the polls if you organize the actual draft.

That would be great, sure.

We have 6 people, let's see if we can get at least another 6.

I pm'd several people, still not a single one showed up to participate. It'd be a shame to have just 8 teams here. Maybe we'd have to skip the 80s if we're stuck with 8 which would be a real shame.

Might make sense just to do the 90s. If our player pool is too large with only eight teams, everyone will be stacked.

We have 10 now, let's give it a chance for a couple of more to join, otherwise I think 10 is not that bad. Maybe tomorrow evening (CET) we can make the draw.

But I think the 1980 season is a bit early given that we're talking about 40 years ago and most people aren't even in their 30s.

1985-86 season to 2005-6 season, what do you say? Whether it's 10 or 12 people in, there's enough for everybody.

This would eliminate players such as Falcao and Liam Brady from the 80s for example but also from more recent years players Maicon, Eto'o, Diego Milito and several other Tripleta heroes that may make the voting situation unfair if someone just has 3-4 of these guys. And also some players that are currently active or recently retired.

The eligibility is a minimum of 25 Serie A games. It's a solid 20 year period filled with too many top players and we minimize the sentimental value that some teams may have. If I saw Maicon, Eto'o and Milito in one team and a bunch of Gobbi or Milanisti on the other I'd probably vote for it without hesitation, just saying :D

I would prefer 1990-2006, partially to avoid people flocking to our Treble team in the first round.
