Notes/comments:
Reason for using Beckenbauer in a midfield capacity: Mainly because I fancy it. But it's not done for shits and giggles - I actually think he'd work well in this setup. And he's replaced as defence leader by a...defence leader. One of the greatest ever, in fact.
I will also mention here that the obvious alternative to the setup I have gone for would be to stick with Beckenbauer as CB/libero (in which case I would have paired him with Scwarzenbeck) - and then try my luck with a potentially problematic v. Hanegem/Masopust combo in the middle.
That combo could be interesting - sure - but I don't really fancy it, for several reasons. Others may disagree - but there you go. AND: I would have faced a predictable (but not unreasonable - in a semi-final) criticism that Gerets isn't solid enough defensively to cover for Beckenbauer's offensive forays.

Reason for dropping van Hanegem: He's slower and less mobile than Masopust. And I don't need his passing ability here - I have that covered, really.
Reason for dropping Zagallo: I don't need his particular traits here. What I need is much more in line with what Finney offers, i.e. someone who can play as a traditional winger (including first rate delivery on crosses) but who also constitutes a significant goal threat.
Key point (attack): Ronaldo is now flanked by two players who will cut inside and be a presence centrally/in the box - which should suit his style well: He will roam, as per default, but he will have two nominal wingers either side who both naturally drift into the middle (and who are both excellent finishers).
Ecstatic
- Striker- Ballon d'Or complete and excellent in the air
- Creativity & Disclaimer: Platini and Cantona are both very different but the idea is to provide the team with the French flair
- Two B2B - Tigana/Platini a proven partnership and Breitner your typical Ferguson player
- Captain - Breitner
- Fierce CB
- Cafu-Beckham cooperation
- Conclusion - a team full of energy who will play in a straight-forward manner. No time to lose really
