The Fifth Redcafe Sheep Draft Round 1 - Pat_Mustard vs. harms

[2mufc0]

Cheers lads and well played harms! Well deserved victory. Glad that Rafael was fairly well-received as I love the little fecker but two sheep full backs against very strong wingers was always going to be tough to overcome.

Reinforcement round is killing me though . With a luckier draw I'd be going into the second round with Maradona. I had Breitner as the ready made replacement for Fabio at left back, and I think Dani Alve went unpicked so he's have came in for Rafael.

You can only pick 2! But I think Rafael is good enough to do a job in the second round too.

That would have been the draft won imo

Something like this? Looks downright scary

Kempes - Riva
Maradona
Breitner-van Hanegem-Gerrard-Alves
Popluhar-Sammer-McGrath
van der Sar​

Yeah, I would have had a few different options and that was one of them. I could also have kept Gerrard on the bench, played a 4-3-3 with Sammer/van Hanegem/Maradona in midfield, and flanked Riva with two from Kempes, Sosa and Bertoni.

Great work in the reinforcements btw. Thuram is tailor-made for that conservative RB role to free up Beckenbauer, and Breitner is Breitner. Gento to come into the team too . Kind of hoping you go with a gung-ho 4-4-2 with Breitner and Netzer in midfield, but it mightn't be possible vs Maradona.
