Edgar
Formation: WM / 3-2-2-3
Tactics: Compact defence, dominant midfield and smooth linkup/transition to overwhelming attack.
Writeup: Tl;dr version
Compact Defence with complementary and versatile players. Balanced offence and enough bodies in middle to dominate opposition. Complimentary offence with all players capable of creating for others and scoring for themselves.
Writeup: Full version
Defence:
..........Graeme Souness......Sergio Busquets.......
Cesare Maldini...Matthias Sammer...Berti Vogts
------------------------------ Lev Yashin --------------------------
Yashin the greatest GK of all time (or #2 depends on whom you speak to) mans the goal. Highly athletic and imposing keeper with exceptional reflexes. He was also the first sweeper keeper comfortable off the line and able to start attacks from the back.
A compact defensive line with 3 well rounded and versatile players. Briegel and Vogts will be predominantly a defensive fullback duo with Sammer moving between attack and defence as the game dictates. Both Briegel and Vogts have experience playing fullback on respective sides help the setup greatly.
Souness has so much more in his arsenal than just a midfield thug.There are ample instances of him controlling the pace of the game with his tactical acumen and simple passes. He brings the physicality and steel to the midfield, but with intelligence to temper it with. Busquets is master at reading the game, intercepting passes and recycling possession. Between their complimentary skills, they provide a tight shield to support the back 3.
All of my attackers also have good reputation of dropping back to support in defensive phase of game.
Attack:
...Zagallo......Torres.....Kalle.....
........Liedholm.....Xavi.............
With Sammer, Souness and Busquets providing a stable platform to launch attacks themselves or assist in transitiong from the deep, out attack has lots of options to score. No introduction needed for Xavi. Liedholm is a lot more direct player than Iniesta, but has lots of overlaps too...high workrate, ability to drop back and orchestrate from the deep, defensive contribution etc.
Zagallo was a technical forward with high defensive workrate. His movement would open up spaces for Liedholm and Shearer. Shearer is a prolific traditional English, big, strong CF. Capable and well rounded, he can score and set up for others. As a target man to bulldoze CBs he was prolific in scoring, but also dropped back and opened space for other with his movement. No intro needed for Kalle. A double Balon d'Or who's comfortable at as both center and right forward completes the attack.
Physio
Formation - Asymmetric 4231
Defensive Line - Normal
Marking - Zonal
Style - attacking and reasonably direct. Kopa playing as the creative 10 to feed the GOAT finisher Muller. Oblitas, Peru's greatest winger, providing classic wingplay whilst Blohkin has a freeish role drifting in as overlapped by Thielen. Overath as the industrious midfield playmaker and Batista the shield. Eric Abidal will be a the defensive left back. Tresor and Montero as a sweeper, stopper combo with a the Italy legend Zoff between the sticks.
