Skizzo
Jim Beam
Skizzo Tactics
Formation: 442 Diamond.
Two fullbacks who can bomb up and down the pitch or stretch play. Two mobile forwards who can run the channels and link up or have their own moments of magic. Platini in the hole where he still scored almost 1 in 2 during this period. Three midfielders who will run themselves into the ground for the team to keep things tight through the middle of the park.
Jim Beam Tactics
“You Mustn’t Be Afraid To Dream A Little Bigger, Darling.”
Tactics: fluid, interchangeable 4-3-3 with direct and high tempo trying to outscore and outplay the opponent.
When you land Messi in the 1st round, you will obviously try to do the best to make your biggest star as comfortable as possible which was the route to pick further with a finishing addition of adding even more fire-power around him to overwhelm the opposition. Even in this team, my obsession with hitting opponent through multiple different ways and routes stays, so if you over commit on one side you can easily be punished on the other.
As for the players it is full of the ones who (while maintaining their individual brilliance) let the other star teammate shine which should suit Messi to a tee.
Toninho Cerezo - gracious, modern deep-lying playmaker who could run for two being part of Brazil and Roma (both with Falcao) magical midfield, but who undoubtedly carried the most of defensive burden;
Johan Neeskens - A Robin to Cruyff's Batman and like Cerezo, a player who could run for two man;
Rivellino - part of the magical Brazil 1970 World Cup team and probably the 2nd best player of the tournament while letting Pele be in his absolute best;
Karim Benzema - a wonderful foil to Ronaldo and Ballon d'Or winner in his own right
This four should fit brilliantly with Lionel causing havoc all around the pitch.
So, what the feck about Owen on the left (without Heskey, no less)? Imo, Owen today in a 4-3-3 would play on the left (or would have zero problems doing it)... Having a raw pace to burn and acceleration is a key to succeed in modern game as a left-sided winger "with the examples of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Kylain Mbappe who racked up great numbers from such position."
Some of the opinion peaces about Owen in modern game... But, not only that, there is an evidence of him operating from LW during his time in Liverpool to devastating effect.
Conclusion: all players at their peak; Messi clearly in leading role with a great supporting cast; a brilliant striker to tie it all together; multiple ways to break the opponent and last, but not least... finally, a big meaty role for Rivellino in the center of the park.

)....if skizzo had just a bit more quality in Marquez and Coupet positions id be tempted to vote as i dont think beam midfield is all that and could struggle against skizzo diamond.
