International peak draft

Why Deschamps = Deschutes, and Tarantini = Trantini in Enigma list. I don't know.
 
Can't remember who I was going to pick before taking a nap but can't go wrong with Gazza

It's definitely worked in my case mate. I've got to decide between a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, a 5-3-2 and the infamous Magic Square now, with a few different possible line-ups for each :D

Hope it caused some more headache. The quality of some of the last picks is great, arguably better than some starters.

Why Deschamps = Deschutes, and Tarantini = Trantini in Enigma list. I don't know.
I don't have an idea. I copied the list before me and I see it's on Pat and Skizzo as well.
I'm honestly surprised that Clodoaldo didn't go sooner, but oh well, we can now have both play together. :drool:
I thought of going for him, but wanted another CB.

The only man in World Cup history, along with Beckenbauer, to win gold, silver and bronze in the World Cup.

In 1966, '70 and '74, this 'No10 par excellence', as he was known, played all West Germany's matches at three World Cups. He ended his career having appeared in 19 matches in the competition, with 15 wins, one draw and three defeats. A tidy record by anyone's reckoning that saw him win the title in 1974, finish runner-up in '66 and third in '70.

Mexico was doubtless Overath's finest hour, whereby the international media voted him as the best midfield player in the tournament.. Pundits at the tournament were in raptures at his ball skills, particular when he scored the only goal of the game in the third-place play-off against Uruguay.

"Overath has the grace of a prima ballerina, the staying power of an astronaut, the intelligence of an Einstein and the footballing qualities of… well, what is the greatest superlative we could possibly find? Yes, he has the footballing qualities of a Wolfgang Overath," said a Brazilian sports paper at the time.

Overath himself remembers the tournament in Latin America only too well. "For me, Mexico 1970 is the greatest World Cup there ever was," he said in an interview with Zeit magazine. "I rate it above the 1974 tournament, even though we obviously won that one on home soil. All the greats were there like Pele and Bobby Charlton. The quality of the football and the fantastic atmosphere in the stadiums were second to none."

Aye, tbh can't say he is a personal favourite of mine, esp given how he was indirectly linked with Netzer's exclusion (not his fault in any way) but I do appreciate his quality, all-round game-play and versatility. Gives me a decent option and I was surprised that he wasn't picked up yet.

@Raees @Invictus
 
Funny enough that's what made me pick his compatriot Schiaffino as my 12th man. He seems to have filled in all over the show as well as excelling in his usual inside forward role:

Yeah, the question is though, to what extent emergency roles count as tournament peaks?

It defines Schiaffino indeed. Uruguay never played libero formations, but if I had to play an All Time Uruguay 5-3-2 he would be the only reasonable pick as libero (where he ended playing at the tail-end of his career in Italy and by all accounts was exquisite).
 
Triple Copa America winner, 1942 top scorer, Player of the Tournament in 1947, and third highest Copa goalscorer of all time, Jose Manuel Moreno

Insane that he was unpicked. Had there been no WW2 that Argentina side would have won both World Cups in the 40s. At a canter.

Might have snapped him up earlier had my fingers not been burnt the last time he got a run out for me.

:lol: It was between him and Schiaffino for my 12th pick and I had no particular preference either way. It was actually your match vs Anto that swung me towards Schiaffino, for no other reason than Platini/Moreno having been done before on here.

@Gio hopefully you can uncover some proof about his tournament performances. Obviously we know he was likely the best player almost every time he stepped on the pitch but so little is known if any of La Maquinha in terms of video evidence.
 
:lol: It was between him and Schiaffino for my 12th pick and I had no particular preference either way. It was actually your match vs Anto that swung me towards Schiaffino, for no other reason than Platini/Moreno having been done before on here.
The right call IMO. I wouldn't crowd Platini while Schiaffino would be a wonderful (infinitely better) Bettega as a second striker dropping into wide pockets of space.

No idea what players you have and what your tactics likely are, mind. Just dropping in and out.
 
Yeah, the question is though, to what extent emergency roles count as tournament peaks?

It defines Schiaffino indeed. Uruguay never played libero formations, but if I had to play an All Time Uruguay 5-3-2 he would be the only reasonable pick as libero (where he ended playing at the tail-end of his career in Italy and by all accounts was exquisite).

Aye, it would be a recurring issue in a match thread depending on where I played him. I haven't researched it thoroughly yet, but there doesn't seem to have been a drop in performance level across his various positions. If he's versatile enough to hit a high level in different positions in a very restricted time frame (so not an early career Scholes vs late career DLP Scholes situation for instance) then I view it as a positive - I can effectively argue his suitability across several positions and formations. My opponent may see it differently if I play him though :).

I have no idea what my tactics are either in fairness. It was all so straightforward until my 12th pick :lol:
 
Valery Voronin vs Germany in WC 1966 semi-finals




Will try to upload his quarter-final performance against Hungary where he had a stormer against Albert, and also Yashin's performance if I get the time.
