I voted for Isotope. His midfield is just too strong, they would dominate.

disagree but thanks for taking the time to explainI voted for Isotope. His midfield is just too strong, they would dominate.
Thanks!
So do you think Zico and Hagi just disappeared? Do you know any of them actually?
I have no doubt I've seen these players more than you Isotope so just chill out.
Your team has no threat on the counter, that's a fact. You have no width, no striker who plays on the shoulder to latch onto quick through balls, a congested midfield and no raw pace upfront.
NM is the opposite, I don't think there is another team in the contest with such an obvious counter attacking threat, his wingers are perfect for it.
He's on the right so Thuram can drop into CB when Passarella carries the ball. Can't think of a better fullback for the job than Thuram.
And who do you have for that role in your team? Both your forwards have always played alongside a center forward!
I'll see how this one pans out first. Seems like not many really rate him as I and you do. I still have Hagi that can play on the wing, and Cabrini on the left providing width.
I'm not sure I said that he did?
If you have followed the arguments in here and the draft thread its repeatedly been emphasised that Pele and Rummenigge are complete forwards who drift deep and create.
I was talking about Isotopes lack of threat on the counter as he has none of those listed elements to his team. NM doesnt have them all but he has an extreme amount of width and pace in his side.
Do you agree he has a far bigger threat on the counter?
No NM doesn't have the same problem at all because he has Blokhin and Boniek cutting inside. Rummenigge and Pele are both quicker than Raul was so offer far more of an 'on the shoulder threat', added to the blistering pace of the two wide men and I have no clue what you're on about.
When Raul drops deep Isotope has literally nothing. Zico wasn't even a striker or as natural uptop as Pele. But the main difference is NM's two wingers, he is never without a counter attacking threat or pace to reach a through ball.
Pelé quotes should be banned from this draft in fairness. You could pick and choose quotes from him throughout the last few decades to make the same point about dozens of players!
The feck are you about.. I'm not talking about how good a finisher Zico was. Pele played for a striker for years and is a more natural forward than Zico who thrived deeper. His heading ability alone sets him apart leading the line.
I was just making a general point that could've been made in pretty much every thread we've had so far, nothing to do with the Zico one! Just saying Pelé talks so much that by the end of this draft you could conceivably have two teams facing up against each other with a couple of players each that Pelé has crowned "the next(-best) Pelé".
This assistance thing is nonsense. It should be the manager arguing for his team alone instead of 2 against 1.
Zico must be something if he scored almost 500 goals from midfield!

I'm not sure what your problem is but you're being a bit of a sarcy prick here. You think Zico is as good at leading the line as Pele and you're talking complete rubbish.
Then again you think Viera is better than Neeskens and Iniesta shits all over Zidane, so you're clearly a bit clueless.
This. I didn't utter a single word in Antohan's game. It's one thing assisting behind the scenes, but this is pretty OTT.

NM doesn't know his own players?
I agree about the Zico point, Theon's getting too hung up on positions here. That multi-talented front 4/5 is capable of causing damage all over the pitch and Zico's taking the piss no matter where he is, no matter how congested it is and no matter who he has on him - there's no-one in the opposition capable of nullifying him.
