Starting tomorrow, managers can pick his NT (only 1 from Pot A) and another one from Pot B or C With at least 8 teams confirmed, I'll make the Draws @Titanlux @PDG1978 @Perú FC @La-Máquina @Excape Goat @peterhrt @Tom Stevens @babaorum @comme @ManiacButcher @victorcalello38 @wm442433 @Kroos46 and others interested. A partir de mañana, los entrenadores pueden escoger su país (solo 1 del Bombo A) y otro del Bombo B ó C. Con al menos 8 equipos confirmados, haría el sorteo de Grupos.
This is important. Meanwhile, dead player could be selected, if active in 1957, right? I think you know why I am asking you this question. It will affect two national teams on Pot A.
Yes, him and his club fellows are able to play in this multiverse. Also banned players, too. All of them will be considered in his peak form in any of the 1957, 58, 59 years. My main doubt, will be José Santamaria, if someone is managing Uruguay he's available, if not, he's able for Spain instead.
Maybe it's good for me to just select two teams now then msioux. Hungary and France I can do if that seems ok?
Question? @PDG1978 , @La-Máquina , @Excape Goat , @Perú FC a) Freedom to put a line-up (not repeating same XI), or b) Rival could block an opposing player before the match (X player could be banned, just 1 time). Except the Final Match This is important for selecting Squad (subs and roles covered).
(B) only works if all the squads are balanced with similar strength. This rule will only favour the big nations with deeper squads. The smaller countries already have an uphill task against the big nations, we shouldn't make that task even tougher by blocking their best player(s). (A) works best in this format. Resembling a real life tournament, a country rarely plays the same XI all tournament (but still has their strong spine intact).
Unless, other manager join us, tomorrow will make the draw. Two groups of five, with the better two advancing to Semi-Finals Mixing groups for every manager (nobody could get his teams in the same group) Similar cummulative ELO for group
I would like to know if Alcides Ghiggia is available for the Italian NT? Played for Roma (1954–1961) and won 5 caps with Italy (1957–1959).
Yes, he is. And others who played for Italy in that era and weren't capped by his native countries around (1957-59)
Creo que @Titanlux quería jugar también. Dejo mis opciones libres, y escogeré después que él. En ese caso, el sorteo será con 4 grupos de 3 equipos, siendo los del Bombo A (cabezas de serie)
