What do you guys think is Neeskens best position?

- Defensive central midfielder in a 4-3-3
- Right attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3
- Defensive midfielder in a 4-2-3-1
- Bottom of a diamond
- Somewhere else

In my opinion, either a right midfielder in 4-3-3 or a free-roaming AM who will drop deeper at times, it's such a waste to use him as a purely defensive midfielder, really. He can work as a part of the 2 in 4-2-3-1 with a more defensive partner.

Not that you'll to think about his best position, as it seems ;)

What do you guys think is Neeskens best position?

- Defensive central midfielder in a 4-3-3 - INSANE
- Right attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3 - GREAT
- Defensive midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 - NO, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE ONE LEAVING THE OTHER TO HOLD
- Bottom of a diamond - CRAZY SHIT
- Somewhere else - AM, but there's tonnes in this context and he stands out more from CM IMO

Nutter

Why not the first one? Isn't that technically the role he played in 1970? Or is it unworkable outside Total Football?

Where did you get that idea from? He wasn't at all a defensive midfielder in 74 (I assume that's what you mean by 1970).

That's a description more akin to what Arie Haan did stepping in front of the defence (think about a 3-4-3 diamond, Haan would be the deep one and Neeskens the top one).

I was positive someone would let everyone else commit budgets and then stroll through the shopping mall. Had to be you :lol:

Well, EAP is waiting for Gio to exit first before beginning the 'scavenging' :lol:. Lots of top notch players remaining so fair play to him.

EDIT: Nvm, forgot he already got C.Alberto.

Nah, I'm nearly done. Though some tosser hijacked by Neeskens bid in the last 2 mins screwing up my plans :D

Just bouncing a Andrade idea off Anto, as my knowledge on him is scratchy.

Will confirm completion soon...
 
Theon can just buy all the good pllayers left and pick and choose depending on who he faces. There are some godly teams here.
