No, it doesn't. Picking Beckenbauer 66 to play as a holding DM makes no sense.Thanks for the info.
So, it confirms a midfield davids-beckenbauer 66-neeskens would be great
Enigma VS Downcast - NT Peak Draft
- Thread starter Annahnomoss
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Ahem.
More like 2-0. Which I attribute to beginner's luck favouring you both!.

Where you managed to brainfart yourself into an early hole.

Where I scouted your previous penalty shootout where you went for the almost exact same directions

Where you made two separate subs and ended up back at your starting formation, and Mexes and Emerson were the highlight

Possibly your best showing, and a good game all round.
But really, who's keeping track?
Out of pure interest - is it me? At least it feels like I often vote against your team.I can tell you there is one poster who systematically voted against my team in my last 7 games despite my 5 wins
Well, you might make it work after a fashion.So, it confirms a midfield davids-beckenbauer 66-neeskens would be great
But Beckenbauer wasn't a DM/holder in '66, so you probably won't get away with portraying him as such. Which was anto's point, I think.
You could use him as an extravagant choice for a man marker, I suppose.

I would have voted for a tactical system like this
Netherlands 2000
Germany 66
-------------------------------TILKOWSKI------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------HÖTTGES-----SCHULTZ-------WEBER------SCHNELLINGER---
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------BECKENBAUER-----------OVERATH------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----BRULLS/HALLER-----SEELER----HELD--------EMMERICH--------
Netherlands 78 final
It goes both ways: 1 or 2 always vote for my team.

Not sold on the arrows (details, details) - but yes, why not? I don't think that trio would be dysfunctional as such - they're far too clever and far too positionally sound to make a clusterfeck of it.
However, if we're talking specific incarnations here, I'd insist on having Beckenbauer doing lots of forward runs - contributing plenty offensively. The '66 version did just that - he scored, what, three or four goals in that tournament. So, the crucial part would be to avoid giving the impression that he's some sort of holder - because he simply wasn't that. He'd probably do an immense job as a pure DM if you tasked him with that - but it isn't how he actually played in '66.

Thanks. I've edited my picture.
Yeah the arrows seems to be excessive. Three box to box roles from that lot in their different ways would be nice.
Lol, @oneniltothearsenal recently made the same claim.... That I always vote against him.
Once a game is done, it's done. Grudges make for bad drafts..... Unless it's against @Skizzo, where it should be encouraged.
Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think it has anything to do with a grudge, I just think we naturally see some tactics very differently with different personal preference which leads to different conclusions frequently
