SirScholes Tactics
Tried to pick players who have all played for Real, team compatibility should be high.
Defence, with so many great attackers I wanted players who were intelligent on and off the ball
Woodgate’s career was ravaged by injuries but when fit was unbelievable at reading the game, same for Sanchis who was great at covering space behind the defence.
Marcello will have a little more freedom have Chendo, ultimately I only want 1 of them pushing forward when in possession.
Midfield, perfect blend of creativity, ball playing and hard tackling, Zidane with license to roam, Kroos to keep the ball moving, Makelele always being an out ball if needed, his main job will be shutting down counter attacks.
All three are good off the ball as well, Zidane had that bite in him and Kroos is very good at reading passing lanes.
Attack
Decided against an out and out striker for now, Raul ability to link midfield and attack is what I was looking for. Being able to drop in deep and allow space for Bale behind, or runs from Zidane/Figo.
Between Raul, Zidane, Fido, Bale there is threat from every situation, smart link up play, long range shots, cut backs, crosses from deep, counters, all get a tick.
Prolifik Tactics
The objective here is to leverage our speed and athleticism to deny the opposition space when we don't have the ball, and to strike quickly and directly when we do. Our back line will play high up the pitch, anchored by the central pairing of Van Dijk (the perfect high line defender) and Mozer, who has the combination of pace and intelligence to thrive in this system, and backed up by an elite sweeper-keeper in Ter Stegen. Casemiro, Schuster, and Jugović are all energetic, physically imposing midfielders who also have the technical quality to move the ball forward quickly and accurately - Schuster is a key figure with his inventiveness and range of passing. Up front we have a potent mix of attacking talent: the quintessential centre-forward in Van Basten, who is not only a great goalscorer but also incredible at holding the ball up and linking with teammates; the devastating cocktail of pace, power, and finishing ability of Mbappé on the left; and the brilliant movement and spatial awareness of Müller, nominally on the right but drifting into whichever areas he finds most advantageous. The full-backs add variety to the attack as well; Carvajal generally functions as an orthodox overlapping right-back, while Júnior will at times surge infield while Mbappé stays wide.
