The 4-4-2 Draft

Don't mind the concept in theory, but in practice it looks a little cluttered.

I think mandating everyone to have the same basic formation template (i.e. a 4-4-2 shape using sharemytactics) so they can be presented side-by-side and look similar would achieve the same objective.
 
but in practice it looks a little cluttered.

I will checkout if there is a better website than SMT where it might look cleaner
so they can be presented side-by-side and look similar would achieve the same objective.

I do like the idea of seeing the wing battles and midfield battles in close quarters

P.S: The idea wont be adopted unless there is a 75% consensus, dont want to try it if almost half the guys dont like it even if less than 50%

Its not a GSTQ draft without a bit of experimentation, so I would like to propose an idea for the match threads

1. The OP will have a single formation graphic with both teams
2. Colour will always be red and blue, names will always be small letters so its not an eye sore. The match poll will indicate colour of manager's team
3. Since all teams will only play the 4-4-2 formation, the graphic should look symmetric and clean, so its kind of an ideal draft to try this.
4. The idea is that it would lead to a more direct visualization of the various battles on the pitch and hence enhanced discussions (maybe)
5. The graphic will have a single template and will be created by the draft mod, you just need to submit your starting lineup with positions
6. No arrows, no asymmetry, no one fullback forward - one fullback backward, you explain all that in your OP.
7. Your tactics can have a separate formation graphic if you want to add arrows or want to explain certain thing or interactions between players, but it should be in a spoiler.
8. I have created a poll to get a general consensus on whether you guys want to go ahead with this experiment, please vote.

Below is an example graphic

I am fine with this one.
 
I'll take John Charles @P-Nut

We don't know who will start as our second striker, but we know it will be a damn good one either way we go. We'll take Mr. Florian Albert

@Physiocrat , kindly update the table after you pick.
 
I'll take Tommy Gemmell
