That's a possibility. He scored 29 goals from that position in 91/92 - has a deep-lying midfielder ever had such a ridiculous return?

Robust yes, no more than that at this level. Gio does have a point in that your flanks will make or break it for you, you won't be winning it on a midfield basis.
Eyzaguirre will surely not win you a lot of votes on his own but should not be a problem either when your team is looking so good. Well that is my thoughts anyhow.
And with that said Eyzaguirre is one of the players that I really do not have a picture of how he is as a footballer in this draft.

Real were a bit shit though. I remember not being at all surprised he was the only one that ever scored for them. By all means, he was their most dangerous player, which is a bit counterintuitive when it is Real we are talking about.
As I said earlier, highly rated in Chile. Their first attacking fullback at a time when it was a massive innovation, only the other Brazilians on here were doing it and Facchetti started around that time. That's it.
I must have seen him in the Brazil-Chile game from '62 but it was all going on down the other flank with Garrincha so I wouldn't read anything into not remembering him. I was actually hoping Brwned would get his links out and start editing for us
The little footage I find on the internet, as with most players, is when he goes forward which is not much use except to conclude he wasn't Cafú or anything like that. Unfortunately it is mostly Chileans writing about him and they usually describe him as similar but better than a Chilean player I know nothing about, or a mix of Chilean players I know nothing about, or when I know the player it is clearly hyperbole (describing his attacking threat as that of Alexis Sánchez, which I found no evidence of).
They all bang on about how in 1963 he was widely considered as better than even Djalma Santos, then go on to describe how he played better than him for a FIFA All Star Team (one glorified friendly, coming on as a sub for Djalma, and the All Star manager was Chilean!).
Overall, I guess he must be OKish but at All-Time level agree with Cutch it is most likely a Gary Kelly in the making
Baresi and Di Stefano. Easy. Baresi and Hierro in defense. Di Stefano is one of the best attacking players in the game. Look at how RvP improved the United team. Di Stefano is at least a similar improvement. A club legend like that, you can't pass that up. One of the select few in football history who get's the highest praises imaginable. You'd be a fool to pass him up. Compare that to Baggio who was practically the master of being runner-up.
Eusebio or van Basten. You can't slack one off to big up the other one. They're both excellent.

Hierro, Edwards and de Stefano sounds like a good midfield to me.
Indeed, I'd go for that suggestion as well.
