Fantasy Tournament: World Cup All-Time All-Stars

My honest opinion is man for man you had a fantastic side, more World Cup pedigree at least. Just didn't quite understand the excessively defensive set up! I think that is what cost you mate.

I'm happy with my upgrades though. 3/3 weakest positions solved with top 3 players in that position ever (at least I think!!)

Hopefully my 4th will be as good.

Yeah it probably did cost me, got a bit too carried away with trying to keep goals out and nick 1 from Muller. I've found it costly in previous drafts having 1 weak link in defence so was determined to get that part right, but ended up missing out on right transition between attack and defence, and the 70s debacle didn't help me either.

Very frustrating going out early. Would have loved another 4 picks (including 1st pick) in this round.

Thank you Pat, yes I have considered Breitner in midfield with Rivaldo/Zizinho/Boniek on the flanks, pending discussion with Aldo

I said this before and crappy said I was wumming and going for Garrincha: would have loved to be reunited with Boniek. That's one player modern player that would suit me to a T. Bloody hell, could have been 1. Maradona 2. Nilton Santos 3-4. Defender and Boniek and I could have fielded a WW/MM. That' never goig to happen though, is it?

Odd thing is, for that to happen I would need you to progress and lose in the other game, after further reinforcements. Yeah, right! Liek that is going to happen. Bye bye Diego :(

I'm already frightened enough by the Maradona - Eusebio combo, no need to take that even further :(.

I think Hagi has to be placed above Figo in this draft.

The thing is crappy it's a question of how you want to play it, Figo will clearly catch more of the scan voters' eyes, but Hagi is the one to be placed over Figo in terms of "WC performances"..

It's also a matter of your opponent, his formation and he's players. Figo will track more than Zidane obviously in the wing.
If tracking back won't be your problem, it has to be Hagi>Figo
 
If Hagi stays in the team, which he should ahead of Figo in this draft, I'd say it should be:

------ Ronaldo -----
Zidane - Hagi - Lato
 
Yeah sorry Hagi central and Zidane left. I keep thinking of that ridiculous goal he scored in 94 from the left touch line and automatically think he played left.
 
Yep:

I would go with Zizou through in the middle, let him pull the strings like he did in 06 with Hagi in a more free roaming role in the final third.

Yeah I don't think it's a deal-breaker either way, they'll naturally drift and switch roles. Lovely combination really, with Lato and Ronaldo getting down to the important business of rattling the onion bag.
