I like this one best. Those three behind Crespo is a scary thought. Your back four also looks so natural. Just out of interest, what other option have you for goalkeeper?

You could try going for a 4-2-2-2 With Moller and ADP. Personally I don't find that formation logical at all, but people have tried it and it has worked at times.
Regardless, ADP would provide a something more and different than Sosa to be very honest. And take some pressure off Rui Costa.

Going to take Batistuta to seal the best striker in the draft and also Bergomi to solidify the defense.
I'm still a bit confused. I think Amoroso would be seen as a real weak point, and Salas would surely be an improvement. Just doesn't feel like giving up on Hassler though, who is also an improvement over Caniggia. It simply depends on who out of Caniggia and Amoroso would be seen more of a weakness. Caniggia actually provided good variety and I wasn't really disappointed in him, but what do the rest think of?
IMO, Caniggia and Amoroso are of equal weakness and Seedorf is your biggest weak link in the middle.
The Boban and Hassler picks look good but I think you will hear a lot about there not being many goals in up your lineup so you have a decision to make....
I have the opposite problem, I have VB and Donandoni up for grabs, who will certainly grab votes but perhaps won't improve the areas of my team that need the most improvement. Advice and opinion for everyone is welcome...
Can you post your team and the list of the players you can pick from?
Ciro Ferrera is not to be ignored either, nor is Nicola Berti. Top class players.
I can pick from:
Konsel
Favalli
Ferrera
Mussi
Negro
Berti
Marrochi
Di Francesco
Donadoni
Eraino
Van Basten

I'd take Ferrera and Van Basten - i think your midfield is pretty strong, and i can't you gaining more votes by bringing in Donadoni or Berti.
Only problem I can see with bringing in Ferrera is you break up the Parma partnership of Sensini and Minotti.
What about strengthening central midfield? For example Berti taking Karembeus place?
Donadoni seems is very highly rated I this draft, perhaps the best AM/RW in the draft so I think he would make some difference... What does everyone else think?
Ferrera is decent shout but like the poster above said, it weakens his partner by taking his club mate away...

It would improve my team but would it win me many more votes? I think the added firepower of VB and Donadoni may serve me better...
Also, for the life of me, I can't remember much at all about Berti, and I was a keen follower of the league. Would the voters have much knowledge about him?
I actually like Karembeu but everyone seems intent on me replacing him! Might take him out for an attacking player, go all out attack and hope for the best, and if all goes right then try to maybe get a new CM and CB next time...
Oh how I wish I had beaten a team with Rijkaard or Sousa in it. Donadoni and VB being two of my favourite players is messing with my head!
You make some good points there Fergus'son. Berti wouldn't be the best from a vote perspective perhaps.
I agree that Donadoni is the best RW in the draft, but I don't think he was as good as the best at AM. So if you pick him, I'd say you'd have to play him as a winger for not to 'waste' him. It's a bit wrong to say waste, but I think you know what I mean.
Yeah, if I did pick him I would put him on the right and give a little tactical description about what his role would be, he wouldn't take the AM role away from Zidane or Enzo that's for sure.
I'll make my picks at the last possible moment I think, still want to hear people's feedback.
When will the draw be made by the way?
It will be after my and Stretfords match, and the winner of that match has made his picks. Our match ends around midnight GMT.
What Ferrara would give you is the ability to play a 3-5-2 or a similiar formation with wing backs, which would suit both Jarni and Zanetti quite well. This way you could for example line up like this:
You could change the midfield around a bit, and put Zidane further up the pitch, but he played in a midfield two in Juve quite some times if I remember correctly. And it was more usual in the 90s with that sort of setup having a creator and a destroyer pair up in CM.

That is great advice, thanks!
I like that set up, BUT, Donadoniiii....
We're all be wearing Juve jersies come the next round!
Donadoni could be risky IMO. Highly rated among the ones who played this draft and did the research. But I doubt a regular voter would look past him as a regular winger. He was clearly much more than that.
Van Basten is the obvious choice. You already have a very good attack. Ferrera would be a good addition and would allow great freedom to Zanetti and Jarni.

Voters will associate his time in Italy with attacking wing-play, not so much his apprenticeship as a wing-back in Portugal. It's a risky one if I am to be honest with you.
I am not familiar with Conceicao before his time in Italy, and I would guess most other people here aren't aswell. So I would say as some others that it is risky. If you feel confident to be able to backup your thoughts of him playing there, then it may work out. Not many teams have very strong wingplay however, so you may be able to come away with having a defensively suspect wing back.
Damn. What a waste. We should do that players trade/exchange thing. Yeah. Maybe against a 5-3-2 formation with a weak left-back, I can get away with him as wing-back.
Alright guys, we should all finalize our picks by tomorrow evening and go forward with the next round.
After thinking A LOT, I have decided that Fergus' Son is right and my team does lack goals. So I would go for Boban and Salas. Sad to leave out Hassler.
So the list of finalized picks so far :
AldoRaine18 : Boban and Salas
Thisistheone : Batistuta and Bergomi
Brwned :
Isotope : Maldini and Albertini
Fergus' Son :
nahealai : Baresi and Deschamps
Baconlars :
The ones who are remaining, do it as soon as possible. Once this list is complete, Zlatan can go ahead and make the next draw.

Alright, time for me to pick two players.
I can pick from:
Zenga
Porrini
Aldair
Ayala
Leonardo
Gascoigne
Davids
Lombardo
Ortega
Weah
Casiraghi
Papin
Obviously, one of my two will be Aldair, but I'm having trouble on my second player. What do you think guys?

It's between Weah and Davids. Davids and Matthaus would be a unbeatable. You probably need him more than Weah as your attack looks set.
you've got enough firepower with Vialli, id take Davids

Has to be Weah, Matthaus has the middle under control and the options up front will be greav for ou. I like savicevic on the left personally.
Damn, baconlars. What a nice headache you have: choosing between Davids and Weah.
I'm taking Cannavaro and Del Piero.
I think I'm going to take a leaf out of SAFs book and seem to strengthen in the areas that I probably need least improving and take Van Basten and Donadoni.
I just couldn't leave either out, it would be a travesty.
Great. Once Baconlars gives in his second name, we can proceed with the quarters draw.
I choose Davids and Aldair. Also, I am curious. Who do you rate the highest? Zago or Júlio César? I guess Zago would get extra points pairing up with Aldair, as they formed a good partnership for Roma.
There's basically no one I'd like to draw. All stronger teams.
Cool. So Zlatan or some other neutral can make the draw. List to randomize :
AldoRaine18
Thisistheone
Brwned
Fergus' son
Isotope
nahealai
Baconlars
AldoRaine18
Thisistheone
Brwned
Fergus' son
Isotope

Just pm'd you with write ups of my 2 new players Aldo.
Im travelling to Manchester for the match this weekend (hooray) so I'll have limited wifi access. Can the match I'm drawn in play on Monday or later?
