TEAM SKIZZO
Tactics
Apologies, doing all this from my phone so it’s pieced together as best I can.
The idea was to build a solid base for Diego to be free to work his magic.
we have a solid central core in defense and midfield that would be tough to break down, and with Moore and Cerezo we have players who can get the ball forward in to feet. Dasayev in goal also gives us a quick outlet to spring forward.
Crespo would look to be a nuisance in the box and stretch things vertically and occupy some attention, leaving Henry and Maradona to drift and probe as they see fit.
TEAM PAT MUSTARD
Formation: 4-3-3
The aim here was to build a team to allow our GOAT candidate Cristiano Ronaldo to thrive in. He's not exactly difficult to build around, given his supreme range of talents and the breadth of his achievements across different teams and leagues, but he has generally been strangely underrated in the draft forum. There are certain elements that will bring the best out of him though, and to that end we've provided him with:
- a familiar formation and role as a free-role attacker from the left wing
- a world class width provider from LB in Cabrini
- a selfless No. 9 with superlative creativity in Francescoli
- top-notch direct passing from deeper areas from Schuster
- excellent delivery from the right wing to utilise his aerial threat from Figo
- supplementary goal threat throughout the team, but no other single-minded goalscorer in the mould of RVN.
Elsewhere:
Off The Ball:
All-time great GK Shilton is bulwarked by the balanced Blanc/McGrath duo. Cabrini motors forward to support the attack in possession, but is one of the greats at providing a genuine two-way flank presence off the ball. Positional GOAT Carlos Alberto rounds out the defence at RB, and will play his usual game, stifling much of the attacking threat coming down that flank (Cole/Henry?) whilst providing classy support for Figo in possession. Our midfield is supremely industrious off the ball. Schuster was a formidable two-way presence himself, even post-injury, and Pirri and Neeskens will provide powerhouse support. The idea here is to defend narrow and invite the opposition to go wide, where they don't look quite as fearsome.
On The Ball:
Much of it has been covered above, but basically transition quickly, ideally to create an opportunity for Ronaldo on the counter, If not utilise Enzo and Figo's superb approach play in the slower build up and let him score that way. Pirri and Neeskens both provide excellent goal threats from deep in this scenario.
