The Redcafe Decades Draft Tournament

Yeah given the pool you can't really find any weak player, probably the tactics and how well players compliment each other on the pitch would be decisive in the results. Expect most games to be really close.

Yup!

I was just thinking when I saw Stobz tactics that its one of the worst for me to come up against because its so centrally orientated and I've gone for mainly ballplayers in the middle. You would need some serious steel to combat Stobz central threat

Which is what I'm trying to explain here. A system with the right players or a team built around a star will work better than a system designed purely to accommodate good players in some sort of intelligible way.

I agree, it's not as much as seeing standout great sides you fear but sides which you are worried about given relative strengths and weaknesses.
 
I pick Just Fontaine

Interesting French duo there with Platini. You do realise you need at least one 30s starter though, don't you? However many goals he scored in 1958, you probably want a more recognised player as striker. Should be fine in a first round but I'd keep an eye on that and get backup/work on an alternative 30s defo starter.

Yeah definitely, I mean at the same time I guess Stobz would be weak to my flanks... But still, I would really need more steel than Pirlo in DM to counter all that central threat

The tactical battles should be interesting

Gio picks Jimmy Armfield

Jimmy+Armfield


Widely regarded as England's greatest ever right-back, Armfield played in the 1962 World Cup in Chile, where he was acclaimed as "the best right-back in the world". He was also voted "best right-back in Europe" between 1962 and 1964.
 
Now I really need one from the 30s, someone I can count on, I pick Gilmar. Brazil legend in goal.

:lol: Exactly the sequence I expected: Shilton - Jennings - "Shit I need to get Gilmar now before the 40s dry up!!!!"
