Tactics 2Mufc/Gio
For this game Francesco Toldo returns in goal, a reliable and consistent keeper and one of the best goalkeepers of his generation. At the back the greatest defender of all time Franz Beckenbauer marshals the defence and provides impeccable reading of the game and defensive nous; he will also provide world class distribution from the back. Next to him is Djalma who was a fantastic defender, he will provide cover while Kaiser ventures forward, Djalma will also provide support for Lato ahead of him. Partnering Kaiser is Real Madrid legend Santamaria he will be the stopper in the partnership providing world class defensive cover. At left back is Briegel bustling with energy and physicality able to provide attacking threat as well as top class defensive cover, with Rummenigge on the right Briegel with his physical attributes is tailor made to match up with Kalle's physicality and speed.
In midfield, 2 time world cup winner Zito is tasked with screening the defence and providing precise distribution from deep midfield positions, he is also a fantastic ball winner able to break up opposition attacks and setup quick counters. We have boosted our midfield by bringing in Brazilian master Falcao in central midfield and has the box to box role and provides additional energy and bite in the midfield area as well as impeccable playmaking skills from deeper positions. In front of these two is the greatest no.10 of all time Maradona he will be at the centre of the team in the attacking phase with the play running through him, he will be devastating making runs from deep positions and also through his immense passing feeding the front 3.
In attack Muller the most lethal finisher of all time spearheads the attack, he will be ready waiting to pounce from service from Maradona and wide areas. Muller has everything required to thrive with Maradona at unparalleled levels — ultra productive so he can make the most of Maradona's creative skillset, unselfish and wouldn't mind doing some dirty work through the central channels, not a big dribbler so there will be no overlap between them, perfected the art of losing his marker so he could get on the end of Maradona's crosses, and tactically intelligent to boot. At RW is Polish legend Lato known for his pace and dribbling ability, he will be a menace taking on the opposition full back. We have reinforced the team by bringing in United legend Ryan Giggs on the left, his hard working and selfless game is tailor made to work with Muller and Maradona, furthermore he also has his own x-factor being able to score and create too.
Overall the team is setup with the 3 best players in defence, midfield and attack to thrive and has been significantly upgraded in midfield with the inclusion of Falcao; the team is setup to play direct football with quick transitions and also built on solid foundation at the back able to soak up pressure when required. The players around Maradona (the heartbeat of the attack) all have the attributes to share a special chemistry and provide a platform for him to dominate the game. Furthermore, it is also difficult to envision a better spine in the draft (Beckenbauer-Maradona-Muller) and on an individual level all three are loaded with the individual ability to make a difference in a close match up and win the game for us.

The formation graphic is pretty self explanatory, all of the players are playing in positions they are comfortable in and are of high quality. I believe my team has a blend of power, speed and with one of the best attacking trio in the draft in the King with the dagger in one hand and the needle in the other.
The team fully utilises the attacking powers of Pele by partnering him with two of the best wing-forwards who played in fluid systems and are used to interchanging during the course of the match. Pele can play either as a creator or a finisher to devastating effect depending on how the match goes.
The midfield is a thing of beauty, the raw destructiveness and power of Sammer and Matthaus partnered with the work-rate of Lerby. Against that trio rather than trying to control the midfield, its more of a case of trying to survive without getting destroyed.
Keeping in touch with drafting footballers who are good on the ball and warriors off the ball, I have two of the best manchester united centrebacks of all time in McGrath and Stam guarding the goal with panucci and demyanenko helping the attack and the defense equally.
Addressing a specific comment regarding the lack of creativity in midfield.

Addressing a specific comment regarding the lack of creativity in midfield.
- Pele, el rei, the king. Pele is the best of all time when it comes to the final third, that means not just scoring but also the vision and execution to play the killer pass. His dribbling alone will allow him to open so many defenders, a gem for some of our older posters.
- Netto is a unique player, a box to box controlling playmaker. Netto while being excellent defensively will look to keep the ball forward and has the excellent vision to release the kalle, stoickhov and pele.
“Igor Netto was definitely a player ahead of his time,” Joel Amorim, Spartak Moscow expert at Russian Football News says. “He was too talented to play on the left side of the defence or even as a wide midfielder, but he still turned out to be one of the most brilliant playmakers of all-time. He had a golden left foot and you still cannot find many players these days with his passing skills and incredible vision.”
Apart from his great technical abilities, Igor Netto was furthermore able to read the game like few others, which allowed him to split countless opposing defences from each other with his vision and passing skills. Much like the famous Spartak playing style, Netto was no fan of long passes, and so he constantly pushed his teammates to keep the ball on the ground and to practice a game of short passing and possession. These skills made him a nightmare for opponents as well as one of the greatest pleasures for spectators.
It's nice to see Netto being included in a possession based lineup. The old Spartak possession style(now long abandoned) never gained the same level of international appreciation as what Dynamo Kiev were doing tactically, the 70s-90s teams that were competing in European competition usually had a few too many other issues that stopped them being successful enough to draw attention, not least a lack of regard for defensive side of things. Yet looking purely from a tactical perspective at their style when on the ball, it was very sophisticated, forward thinking stuff that had the majority of components we see in modern possession teams being performed to a high standard, without getting too bogged down in slow buildup. The Netto led teams of the 50s were the genesis of that, but were more well rounded(relative to the era) and had a lot more firepower than any of the later sides, it would have been interesting to see them in the early European cups.
- Matthaus at Inter transformed his game from being a box to box to a creative, athletic midfielder. He averaged a assist every four games in 1989 season and serena went from scoring 9 goals to winning Capocannoniere with 22 goals.
- How do you stop Maradona? At his peak, Maradona was near impossible to stop. Only one man in history has successfully stopped the attacking juggernaut, a man he himself acknowleged as his greatest rival. Lothar Matthaus. Here he has help from the Red Baron, Iron Matthais and Igor Netto. If you had to pick a three man unit to stop Maradona, these three would rank pretty
- Can zito handle Pele by himself? Falcao was mainly an attacking box to box, and will have his hands full here trying to supply creativity from deep. That leaves zito who will be tasked to stop Pele. While a legend, I don't think he is strong enough defensively for the task that awaits him here.
- Having both stoickhov and kalle central will stop beckenbauer from stepping out of defense and exerting his influence in midfield. The time he does step out, he will only leave behind Santamaria as the last shield which brings me to my next point.
- Santamaria was not a very good defender. But don't just take my word for here, draft legend @Gio and one of the most knowledgeable players here ranks him below Godin. Now imagine somebody worse than Godin or even Godin himself against my attack. It's only ending one way right? Do you really want an error prone CB covering for Beckenbauer's forward forages? Specially with both kalle and stoickhov playing as strikers and ready to pounce on any mistakes.
Don Alfredo said:Yeah there was one poster who said he is better than Santamaria. I am not even sure if Godin is better than Vidic, whose reputation seems to be at an All-Time low after all those imaginery beatings he took from the likes of Ronaldo and Romario.
Gio said:I’d vouch for that. Take any random sample of footage of Santamaria or Godin and it’s the former who is most likely to be at fault for goals conceded. Other factors to consider in terms of overall influence, but only one winner I can see in defensive nous and organisational ability.
Gio said:Happy to defer to people who have watched him more than I have done, but looking at the 1954 tournament, he's at fault for a lot of goals Uruguay concede. Definitely think his reputation has been elevated based on what he did as part of that great Real team, perhaps like an early-day equivalent Ramos or Pique - i.e. someone who was still influential, was their team's best defender, contributed well to the style of play, but was too error-prone to really stand comparison with the finest of all time.
