Redcafe Drafting League Game Thread

@P-Nut shouldn't Jim get a 3-0 win (and all others for that matter that get a bye)?

@harms top work as always.

No need, the fixture list is as such that everyone will play the same amount of games over the full league. Just someone will always be behind / ahead until half way mark or end of the league

Edit: image uploading trouble, pity

I have a favorite team but I can't reveal it or PNut and Green Smiley will be getting FA complaints against me refereeing matches with said team :wenger:
 
Best of luck mate :) I think both of us got off pretty well with injuries I guess.

Yep, not too bad.

Tardelli out again is the only thing I can moan about, really. He's been Jones'esque so far.

In fact, Zagallo and McGrain are a pair of sick notes too.
 
@Jim Beam @Stobzilla write ups are still needed. Everyone else's games have been divided up and should hopefully get cracking with results soon.
 
R2 - 2MUFC0 VS INDNYC



Attacking strategy will again be attacking through wide areas with those class wingers, Vierchowod and Scirea bring together a top class partnership and should be able to shut out the opposition attack. Brought in the extra midfielder to combat Indy's numbers in the middle to balance it out.

Vs

Formation: 3-4-3

Back 3


Montero, Cannavaro, and Bossis form the back 3. Cannavaro as the sole central defenders with Bossis and Montero playing wider. Both Bossis and Montero are comfortable playing either full back or center back. They should be comfortable in the position

Diamond 4

Wim Jansen comes in to anchor the diamond, filling into the defensive hybrid role. He can cover anywhere across the backline like he did for the dutch national team. Gattuso comes in for Giresse for more defensive stability. Sir Bobby comes in to replace Forlan in the tip of the diamond.

Front 3

Rahn, Hazard, and Nistelrooy make up the front 3



2mu vs indy

H1
A high intensity battle during the first half. The game begins high intensity with possession changes and fought mostly in the middle 1/3 of the pitch. Charlton chokes out Netzer's playmaking. Scirea and Vierch blank the Indy attack.

23' Junior evades Gattuso and frees Keizer who has space and puts a shut off the post.

30' Junior again with space, sends a ball to Jinky who cuts inside, takes a vicious tackle from Montero and earns a penalty. (2mu fans demand a red but none is shown)

31' Shevchenko steps up to shoot:


H2
Indy comes out with a tactical tweak for the second half. Charlton is now putting more pressure on Junior. Netzer vs van Hanegem is an evenly matched battle.

50' Netzer opens up Jinky who sends in a cross to Shevchenko stopped by Cannavaro

60' Keizer evades Jansen on a chaotic play and slips the ball inside to Shevchenko but again Cannavaro snuffs him out.

75' Charlton gets space in the middle of the pitch after Hughes misplaces a pass


89' Banks saves a rocket shot from Keizer.

Indy-1 2mu-0
Goals: Charlton
Assists: --
Clean Sheet: Banks
MOTM: Banks
 
Did Emlyn Hughes ever play DM? If not I would have put Bonhof at DM and Hughes or Marzolini and right back given that they were both right footed
Did Marzolini ever play RB? From what I've seen Hughes never played RB, it was either LB/CB or midfield.
 
Did Emlyn Hughes ever play DM? If not I would have put Bonhof at DM and Hughes or Marzolini and right back given that they were both right footed

He did play in midfield and scored in double digits too for a season or two apparently. If you watch his youtube videos, looks very similar to Bonhof to me. Bursting up and down and had a thunderous shot on him.

Don't think I'd use him or Bonhof as the lone DM to get the best out of them but I think both are functional there.

Hughes-Bonhof double pivot would be great to watch IMO.
