Team Fenômeno
vs Team Ralaks
Fenomeno Tactics:
How often do we see George Best shunted out on the wing in drafts? And mostly having to share the other flank with another dominant winger and no.10? Anyone who has watched Best would know he was much more than a touchline winger, he was at in his element being able to have free reign to switch wings and also operate in central areas, his highlights reel is full of goals scored all across the front line. Infact one of his most important goals of his career was receiving the ball from a flick on running from the center and then dribbling past the CB and GK to score.
Here Best is given a free role to work his magic, he has the license to roam and work both wings and attack through the center. He links up with his good mate Sir Bobby, a proven partnership that won it all, he also has Van Basten upfront to combine with, a better version of Law who he also worked so well with. In wide areas, support is provided by two excellent attacking full backs who are also able to whip in quality crosses to MvB. The midfield and defence provide a solid base, with hard working midfielders, world class defenders and goalkeeper.
I'm not entirely sure how the opposition will lineup but their main threat will be Garrincha, whilst an incredible player i think we have a really good counter with Kohler and Cabrini defending those areas. Whilst on the other hand Best will be instructed to have a go at Camacho who is the weak link when considering both defenses.
Ralaks Tactics:
Formation:
4-3-3 (false 9)
Defense:
Standard back four covered by the legendary Buffon in behind. Beckenbauer will naturally be allowed to push up with the ball and spread it as he sees fit. Two options can happen when he pushes up, either (temporarily) swapping to a back three where all three would function well, or Busquets pushing back into the defensive line to cover. Busquets was supremely intelligent in his reading of the game, so I am entrusting him to evaluate the situation moment my moment. Camacho is more bound to the defensive side, as his partner on the other side is more naturally gifted and likely would have a great partnership with Garrincha on the right wing. In either case, Busquets will have a natural role in covering the right side, if/when Beckenbauer or Amoros pushes up.
Midfield:
Sergio Busquets – one of the modern greats in his natural number 6 position, where his role is the same as it was for Barcelona & Spain during his prime. Suarez will function as the playmaking heart in midfield, whilst Seedorf will be the hardworking box-2-box midfielder. Both Busquets and Seedorf are relentless pressers and will make up for Suarez, maybe being more focused on creating. Seedorf will give a direct presence in the left half-space to supplement the more defensive Camacho and offensive Rensenbrink. Suarez will thrive in combination with Garrincha and Amoros on the right side, doing one-two passes with Garrincha & Amoros.
Attack:
Baggo employed in a false 9 with fantastic wingers on either side. He would function very well in this role, allowing him to use his reading of the game to influence it as he wants, allowing Garrincha, Rensenbrink, Seedorf & Suarez to push into the box. I have plenty of runners to be extra runners into the box when he drops deeper.
