The UEFA Euro Fantasy Draft

[harms]

Am I the only one excited with the prosepct of Gullit behind Puskas?

I still don't like it when Puskas is the focal point of the attack. But yeah, Puskas - Gullit sounds amazing - but they have 4 CM's on top of that and I will reserve my judgement until I will see the actual formation.

I don't get one of your other choices, but it would be harsh to comment on that now.

 

[Mani]

I like most of the teams, no clear favorites atm it all comes down to formation,tactics etc.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I still don't like it when Puskas is the focal point of the attack.

If you don't mind, how do you think Puskas ought to be played?

 

[harms]

If you don't mind, how do you think Puskas ought to be played?

As an SS of sorts. He still is a fantastic choice leading the line, no doubt about that, but being №9 doesn't give him enough freedom for my liking - and he deserves it.

I think we have this discussion every time Puskas gets picked - and he gets picked every time he is available

 

[Moby]

Left Inside Forward, so whatever role given should resemble that in some capacity.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Left Inside Forward, so whatever role given should resemble that in some capacity.

So which would do you think is best?


In a winger-less formation:

Puskas...Gullit...
.........AM..........

or

.........FW.......
Puskas.....Gullit

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

I'd prefer the second one EAP, Although I'd rather have a RW, Gullit as AM, Puskas as SS and a FW with an attacking full back(Breitner?):

-----------GK
RB ------ CB ------- CB
---------------------------------------- Breitner
-----------CM --------- CM
RW------------Gullit-----
------------------------------ Puskas
------------#9​

 

[Raees]

If you don't mind, how do you think Puskas ought to be played?

I hate to compare Puskas to Dalglish but I'd say they both operated best as a second striker but Puskas definitely had the pace to play in a variety of positions in the attack to be fair.

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

Puskas definitely had the pace to play in a variety of positions in the attack to be fair.

Yeah I agree that's why I love him with Gullit whose so unique in his style of play and I reckon it will work superbly.

 

[Moby]

Second one

 

[Raees]

I agree. Loving the look of Ed's side to be honest.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

I agree. Loving the look of Ed's side to be honest.

You and Gio's team is right up there in fairness. it fecking killed me seeing you get Hassler so late - Skizo and I had our eye on him from the start but we filled our German quota very early.

Nice! Platini is perfect for the system.. I wanted to play 4-3-3 false nine too but decided Zidane wasn't the right man for it.

1. Joga Bonito
2. The Stain
3. crappy

look the strongest.

Thanks for that! I feel i have a very strong team as far as EURO performances go. Will come down to whether the public reads my tactics/profiles me thinks. My main regret is not picking up Figo.. Decided to go for pre 66 players early.

 

[Raees]

You and Gio's team is right up there in fairness. it fecking killed me seeing you get Hassler so late - Skizo and I had our eye on him from the start but we filled our German quota very early.

Your number 10 and 9 combination is probably the most bang on tactically. They complement each other brilliantly - I'd be happy to be paired up with you guys just so I get to see Netzer and Van Basten videos.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Well, these are my options as of now. Haven't decided on what to do for first match....

First one looks much better. I think the Hierro+Deschamps combo in your second lineup wouldn't work very well, they'd get in each other's way.

 

[Annahnomoss]

So many crowded midfields, diamonds and even 5 man "central" midfields. So hard to get that right, even Ancelotti went from loving it at Milan to then hating it when he couldn't implement it elsewhere.

You need the perfect balance and the perfect players to get the worth out of those 5 centrally oriented players.

I pick Cabrini and Klinsmann. @ctp

Did you do the due research on Cabrini?

Did you do the due research on Cabrini?

not really. I simply dont have enough time at the moment and my deadline was already running out. I am doing the whole draft quite badly and I am sorry for it, but whats done is done. I can live with my team and if i survive the first round I´ll try to make up for it.

Didn't mean it that way mate. Only asked because Theon/I considered him but didn't take the risk. Just wanted to know what your reasoning was. I've had minimal time too so its been mostly Theon this time.

Good pick. With Busquets and Suarez there it looks very promising in terms of dominating matches.

I have a couple of different options. Will probably choose based on the opponent.

the funniest thing is Schoelsy even controled the game from the wing! If only he had more quality around himself



genius.

 

[Annahnomoss]

Scholes as left winger. WTF was Sven smoking?

Don't you start on Sven. He's unquestionable since his time winning the Uefa cup for Göteborg and for his success at Lazio and Besiktas and most of all for flopping for City.

Modric on the right? Thought he played LM/LW.

Kluivert - Rummenigge is a fantastic strike partnership . It's so easy to imagine them doing well together.
