Isotope Tactics
The team centers on physically skillful 4-3-3 football prowess. It was led by dynamic attack with two potent wide forwards, and combative warriors in midfield. The defence bulwarked by versatile players to cope with any type of attack, possessing passing from the back.

"With my power of hindsight, I think Isotope's team have advantage, where:
As wise man once said, whichever team scores more goals usually wins.”
Defence: Two of finest balanced fullbacks in K-H Schnellinger and Berti Vogts are seamlessly working with the stalwart partnership of Sol Campbell and Rune Bratseth. They’re standing tall as fortress before Oliver Kahn, a paragon of Germany's goalkeeping legacy. Both Bratseth and Schnellinger will orchestrating passes to the midfield, further enhancing team’s fluidity and strategic prowess.
Midfield: The heart of the team boasting midfield titans of Lothar Matthäus, Paul Breitner, and Frank Rijkaard. Together, they form a strong force with individual strengths, offering goalscoring prowess, tireless box to box play and defensive shield, playmaking flair, and boundless energy to dominate the midfield battle.
On Attack: United legend and one of the greatest winger/wing forward, the iconic George Best, is set to join forces with the direct yet creative Karl Heinz Rummenigge. This dynamic duo serves as an exceptional complement to the prolific Jimmy Greaves, a formidable striker and the most prolific in British football history. Together, they form an attacking trio that promises such display of skill, dynamic movement, and an impressive goal-scoring prowess on the field.
Enigma Tactics
Formation: 4-3-3, fluid, direct, press the opposition, moderate defensive line
Defence:
Moore bosses the defence in his natural role, paired with van Dijk forming a scary partnership at the back, as this is van Dijk before the injury having pace on the deck and really strong in challenge. The flanks are occupied by Andy Brehme who is a very viable route to goal with his crossing for Muller in the box. Actually the two Mullers in the box. On the right we have Gerets who is another one who can boss an entire flank and has the stamina to keep going all game.
Midfield:
Bernd Schuster is in deep playmaking role, initiating the attacks from deep and in playing in a holding role in front of the defence. Alongside him is Davids who plays his natural defensive box to box role. The new face is Bryan Robson. Captain fantastic is in his natural box to box role and what both Robbo and Davids brings to the game is the ability to double down on the opposition wingers when off the ball as that's Iso's team main weapon. Both Davids and Robson can provide support on the flanks and help Brehme/Gerets.
Attack:
Spearheading the attack is probably the greatest #9 in the game - Gerd Muller. A matchwinner on his own he now has a key element just behind him to run the game in the attacking third in Johan Cruyff. Thomas Muller who will break the lines and open up passing alleys with his movement.
Obviously Cruyff is now the star of the show, however he has someone who he didn't have a chance to play alongside in any team both for club and country - a true #9 who also is one of the very best in his position. Cruyff obviously plays in free role and has Brehme, who similarly to Krol is an attacking wing back that can provide support on the flank and allow him to tuck inside.
Our midfield consists of players that Cruyff would love to play alongside - great engines in Davids/Robson and Schuster who can dictate from deep but also style that meshes up well with him.
Game against Sweden where Cruyff put so many great balls inside the box only not to be capitalized. Something der Bomber would utilize in this game.
Also a bit on Gerd Muller, sometimes unfairly considered only a target man:

"With my power of hindsight, I think Isotope's team have advantage, where:
- Isotope boasts not one, but two of the most exceptional wide forwards, pitted against two attacking fullbacks. This creates a considerable mismatch that could tip the scales in Iso's favor.
- Drawing on historical precedence, Vogts could generally stifle the legendary Cruyff in the 1974 World Cup final by meticulously denying him any space to launch attacks. Despite Cruyff being a force unto himself, Vogts demonstrated a capability to neutralize even the most formidable opponents.
- Elite defensive man markers: The presence of Bratseth, a proven world-class man marker and libero capable of a remarkable 4.7-second sprint over 40 meters, adds a layer of defensive prowess. Campbell's track record includes successfully containing one of the greatest strikers, Ronaldo, preventing any goals in two encounters; and limiting “fox in the box” goalscorer Nistelrooy to just one goal in nine games.
As wise man once said, whichever team scores more goals usually wins.”
