Name: Dream Team
Short name: Antohan Cruyff (not sure anyone here knows but Antohan is a nickname I got from mates because I kept banging on about Cruyff's Dream Team)
Six Letter Name: DreamU
Nickname: Spunkfest

Primary kit/logo color: Light blue
Secondary color: Black

Supporter Profile:
Loyalty: 16
Passion: 18
Patience: 14
Affluence: 20
Temperament: 13

Rivals:
Mazhar/Sacchi - because the tit picked me and I don't believe in one-way rivalries
P-Nut/Guardiola - because the tit picked me and I don't mind using him twice a year to boost morale. I don't see the rivalry with Cruyff, but I can't stand Pep :devil:
Red Tiger/Happel - because the tit picked me and I don't believe in one-way rivalries
Spontaneous/Hitzfeld - tit, one-way rivalries, etc.
harms/Lattek - tit

Would have preferred something based on real-life stuff, but 5 is enough.

Only you guys left to submit club info. Rivalries status for your reference. The number is how many picked them as rivals, and I also include who voted you so you don't have to bother look it up. Make of that what you will but something looks off there.

Ferguson - 0
BobbyR - 0 (in fairness, he chose no rivals, very Sir Bobby that)
Michels - 4
Sacchi - 5
Mourinho - 5
Trap - 3
Cruyff - 5
Ancelotti - 7
Paisley - 1
Helenio Herrera - 1
Capello - 3
Lippi - 3 (SAF, TRAP, LATTEK)

LvG - 2
Guttmann - 1
Clough - 4 (SAF, SACCHI, GUARDIOLA, BUSBY)

We have secretary's day in Uruguay on September 4th, I expect chocolates.

Do we choose rivals randomly? What's the significance?

Is what I'm thinking. But who knows. @Joga Bonito might be hoping for something different. And who knows what Lobanovskiy will end up fielding in the end.​

Yeah, given the versatility of our squad, I've got no idea how Lobanovsky is going to field them.

Liedholm Mazzola
Pedernera Sekularac Hidegkuti
Ademir
Just a bit more muppet-tastic version of your set-up, esp against the whipping boys (like EAP), but apart from Ademir for Riva, I'd say the set-up you've posted will more or less be the one that Lobanovsky will be going for - hopefully.

Wouldn't be surprised if Madeley is randomly playing up front though, given the AI in FM :lol:

Well we'll probably give the reserves a run out against EAP and rest the starters for the tougher games. Unless we need to make up some goal difference, in which case we could still play the reserves.

Interestingly I was mulling over Pedernera around turn 7 as a snazzy AM already at their peak, but went for Vukus instead because I thought there was no way Pedernera would be much kop with any sort of wide gig working into the channels. Keen to see how Lobanovsky combines that trio.

I can't confess to knowing whether it will work or not. Or if he'll even play. Or if any of those three will play. Or if they do, that they'll be in any of the listed positions shown there.

Philosophy.

Yeah, we were considering going for some of the more traditional wide-forwards (can't believe Julinho hasn't been picked at all), but we did have an imposing engine room with our attacking midfielders being more industrious and versatile, apart from Sekularac we don't have a lackadaiscal flair playmaking #10. So we'd figured we'd go for the more versatile and free roaming Hidegkuti, Pedernera etc who'd probably have more freedom and room to work their magic.

You have Terry, Gerrard... And are just a Cloughie punch away from a meltdown.
 
You have Terry

And Gerrard. We are the Full Kit wankers!

We should have some decent options here for either the preferred 4231 or Happels secondary formation of 433.

Surely it's Mazzola - Hidegkuti - Pedernera?

You bastard... along with @Invictus/@Ecstatic the one who nabbed the most players I wanted (Cruyff, Stoichkov and Cannavaro, who should be an absolute beast now at 6ft5in). Unfortunately you've done a good job so no scope for relegation releases being activated.

Don't know what's worse - shower of cnuts or playing Breitner as a left back with Rummenigge upfront (although it's obviously up for AI)

It would be fun to watch the fight for the captain's armband though :lol:
 
Yeah our team if full of toss-pots, but I reckon Cloughie could bring them together even for a season. They should all be similar ages, so I envisage Neville, Gerrard, Terry, and Carragher being our own class of '92.

Hopefully my manager doesn't get sacked as only winger I have in my team is Bebe.

Not bad. Great goalie, solid defence, nice midfield. Just not sure how front three would interact?

Shearer tended to work with a (relatively) unselfish support (Sutton, Sheringham, Ferdinand) and not sure I'd describe Jurgen Klinsmann as "unselfish".
