Let's do it today evening.
Dominoes draft
- Thread starter Tuppet
- Start date
Thanks mate. I pondered going for Schuster instead, but with all these brutally strong attacks as potential opponents I thought I should prioritise adding defensive grit over flair.
I can knock something up for it but not sure I'll be much on in the evening. Is Thursday noonish ok for you?
Yes I m fine with it.
Sound.

@diarm either today or tomorrow is fine with me. Else it will be next week
Same. You are in the US right? I can try and get something ready by today afternoon UK time. If not then tomorrow for sure.
Afternoon only coz my graphic file is at home otherwise can just use sharemytactics and get it done in a couple of hours.
Yeah today afternoon is fine with me.
That’s a humdinger of a tie.
Funnily enough neither of Messi, Maradona or Beckenbauer would be of priority to me as reinforcements if it were to happen. It is bound to get underrated in front of GOATfest teams but I really do love the look of my current front three which I think provide an ideal balance. Both ADP and Vieri compliment each other well and have the individual ability, skill and presence to keep the defenders occupied and drag them around while at the same time Platini being the alpha being a clear outline with the front two supporting him. It's the situation that brought the best out of Platini where he was surrounded by great role players and simply took the entire responsibility of the playmaker as well as goalscorer. Surrounding him with GOATs and making him share that load would be counterproductive imo while in this role it's just the ideal setting he needs to shine.
Nice matchup. Feels like some Pillow Karma
elaborate
didnot crossed across you being sarcastic.Yeah that's fine by me.
You can send your stuff to me before starting the game and I can set it up as I can set up polls as well.
Or the other way round or a neutral, whatever you are okay with.
Alright sending in a few.
I'm around for the next hour or two so I can start it. @Moby
Hi bud, I'm easy whenever you are. I've sent my team and new tactics to Tuppet already so can start when yours are in! Best of luck mate!
Sending now.
Should be pretty good one.Nice matchup. Feels like some Pillow Karma
Still thinking how to set up to do the most damage to LS. That Matthaus pick was also a game changer for me for the current matchup considering his history with Maradona.
I understand where you are coming from. Very much in line with how I don't like seeing United PL XIs featuring that midfield with CR instead of Beckham. If you want CR it is Giggs you have to bench.
When we had Ince-Keane we had Cantona and we could only have Yorke-Cole with a Scholes.
To me when people say 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1 is also in the cards. The main difference being how creative and "midfieldery" the second striker is. With Zico or ADS you are talking 4-4-1-1 and because they are there I'm more inclined to Lothar-Frank. In fact, they make Zico a clear option, while if it wasn't such a monster midfield ADS being a one man spine would be more relevant.
A 4-4-1-1 especially with a player like Zico changes the picture a lot and takes a lot of creative burden off the CMs. I was talking about a proper 4-4-2 which has two strikers up front which makes it important to have a creative playmaker in the middle.
Of course a midfield of Rijkaard, Matthaus and Zico is pretty great all things considered but that wouldn't go into a 4-4-2.
I agree with this. Cantona was vital in our 4-4-2 and the catalyst of our success. On the other hand Juve after they sold Zidane and brought in Nedved they didn't have a playmaker in the middle - but often had Tacchinardi and Davids there - with Del Piero in the hole.
There's also Arsenal also had Bergkamp as a SS in their 4-4-2 and a wide playmaker in Pires, whilst not having a central one in Silva and Vieira.
I tend to think 4-4-1-1 is more like 4-2-3-1 rather than 4-4-2. When the wingers attack it shapes like a double pivot 4-2-3-1 and they move forward with one of the attackers moving inside the box and the other just outside it.
ADS impact in the middle of the pitch indeed will be limited and his role would be more of the free roaming complete forward who'd also hassle and press the opponents as Lothar and Rijkaard would provide the stage.
In a flat 4-4-2 Zico/AdS, Zico/Kalle, Kalle/AdS would work IMO but essentially would provide different things on the table. All three of them are very different individuals. More I think of it however if there isn't a wide playmaker Zico is a must in this set up as Di Stefano in advanced position was really not a playmaker but a complete forward. His playmaking skills and orchestrating the game were of use when he took the ball from deep and advanced with it or distributed it to open space. Di Stefano could do that as a SS or a #10 really, but with Zico in the roster he'll not be as good as him there.
I can start it now if you want ?
Yes
@Pat_Mustard write up sent in.
Aye, mine is in too mate.
@Enigma_87 sorry buddy been bit busy with work, can we delay our match?
I've sent my write up to @Tuppet so whenever you are ready mate.
I'd prefer not to do it in the weekend tho as there is a less interest during that time and this match fully deserves it.
If not then tomorrow or on Monday perhaps would do fine for me as well.
@Tuppet
Is there any news of when our match against Pat will start? If you cannot start it, is there a neutral available who can get this started?
