All Time Great Managers Draft

[Fortitude]

Don't worry, you don't stand a chance

Ideally I'd go for the end of the week if it suits you — Friday to Sunday, as I want to make a good post on Lobanovsky (and there's a good chance that it's going to be my only chance of presenting him). I have a hectic schedule in the upcoming days. @Fortitude

Friday probably preferred as a whole week is a long time!

My write up? ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!

 

[P-Nut]

Although they were our biggest challengers for the 5th spot (not that we should settle for that), I feel so sorry for them. They don't have the resources of Spurs and Wolves and they've completely lost the momentum, which was their chance to try to get the CL spot (assuming City's ban stands). It wouldn't surprise me if they end up around 10th, although, objectively, it would still be a pretty nice place for them.

Yeah I feel sorry for them, been a joy to watch all season. If it means we make CL though I'll take it.

Friday it is.

 

[Fortitude]

Friday it is.

Look at you with your game face!

I guess I better not PM you this week, huh?



I shall see you on Friday!

 

[Synco]

Here's the template for the match OP. Simply a quick overview on your manager/team blueprint, your attempt to reproduce it & potential setup alterations.

You're free in how you fill out the template, but make sure to provide all basic information. I put in fictional examples as an illustration.

Design the rest of the match OP as you like.

--------------------------

Inspiration/blueprint
fontaine's legendary '71 FC Belo Horizonte Samba Boys

Spoiler: OVERVIEW

Formation
4-2-3-1

(From the 7-1 victory over Kazachstan that season)

Playing style, tactics
(...)

Player roles
(...)
CF: Jan Koller - perfect fit for the Samba Boys' unstoppable defensive high ball strategy to nullify opposition pressing

Alterations from the original
Alex Büttner revives Marcelo's false FB role from the 2014 WC semi-final, fontaine's boldest tactical innovation

--------------------------

 

[Synco]

No need to submit more than that if you don't want to. (Although it helps.)

Longer write ups go to the (upcoming) manager/players/tactics thread, but you can additionally post them in the match thread too.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Thu 25/6 - EAP vs Big Dunk
Fri 26/6 - harms vs Fortitude

 

[Synco]

Have created the write-ups thread.

It has no specific function for match discussions, it's for collecting the material posted during this draft. Draft-related content can still be discussed there, of course.

 

[P-Nut]

Tues 23/6 - P-nut vs Sjor
Thu 25/6 - EAP vs Big Dunk
Fri 26/6 - harms vs Fortitude

Didn't EAP once pose with Kenny Dalglish in a Liverpool jersey?

 

[Šjor Bepo]

thought it was with Salah, @Skizzo probably has the picture

 

[harms]

Didn't EAP once pose with Kenny Dalglish in a Liverpool jersey?

There was definitely picture with Salah, but I’m sure that it wasn’t the only one. I remember his argument — wouldn’t you do it if it was for free?

No, I wouldn’t.
