Tactics Team Skizzo
Formation/Tactical Synopsis: The old footballing adage that matches are won and lost in midfield rings particularly true in the modern era. To this end, we've reinforced this critical area with modern greats Luka Modric and Arturo Vidal to forge arguably the best possible midfield unit possible in this pool. Lining up in a 3-4-3 formation, we aim to establish effective control in the centre of the park and create goalscoring opportunities for our prolific centre-forward Aguero and his strong supporting cast.
Defence: David De Gea's heroics in goal for Utd are almost taken for granted now, such is the regularity with which he salvages matches for us. Already an all-time great, he's at the top of the food chain alongside Neuer in this pool. In front of him are Toby Alderwireld and Kostas Manolas. Two center backs who are defenders first and foremost. Manolas often playing the covering role for his defensive partner, while Alderwireld being most of the playmaker from the back. Completing the three man defence is Bayern Munich prodigy David Alaba. Coming off a relatively quiet couple of seasons, it's worth remembering the incredible impression he made as a youngster. and specifically his stupendous displays in this LCB role under Guardiola. Some quotes from our resident Bayern supporters:
Midfield: Simply a dream unit in the context of this draft. Busquets has played a critical role as the anchoring midfielder in some of the best teams in history, and his style should mesh superbly with the best midfielder of his generation in Luka Modric. Much as he did for Pep's possession-hungry Bayern team, new addition Arturo Vidal will add a dynamic, combative edge to our technically brilliant midfield. That trio provides a great platform for Mario Gotze in the No. 10 role. The news last year that Gotze had been diagnosed with a rare metabolic disorder finally explained Gotze's mystifying loss of form after a scintillating early career. A technically superb playmaker with a real cutting edge, Gotze racked up 31 goals and 44 assists in 116 games during his first stint at Dortmund, following this with 15 goals and 13 assists during his debut season at Bayern before illness and injury stymied his career.
Attack: Ivan Perisic and Jose Callejon will play as wingers, pushing up and primarily offering width, with license to come inside when the opportunity arises. Both will look to drop deeper and defend to stop the full backs bombing on against us. Sergio Aguero will play as our striker, looking to link up with the other forward players and put away any chances that come his way. With four successive 20 goal plus PL campaigns under his belt, Aguero is one of the most reliable and deadly goalscorers in the pool, and he'll thrive in this team with the level of control and creativity behind him.[/QUOTE]

My team will play a 4-3-3 formation with Salah and Griezmann cutting in from the wings and Dybala playing as a deep lying forward. My midfield 3 consists of Javi Martinez who will be my main ball winner in midfield, Khedira who will playmake from deep while being defensively solid and Paul Pogba who will be playing in a box to box role. Width will be provided by Pogba and Kimmich with Lucas Hernandez having a defensive fullback role.

Heck yeah, he is something like Olaf Thon's/Lothar Matthäus' version of sweeper/libero transponded to modern age football
