Looks good, though might need a write up to get around all the combinations. Probably agree with Gio that maybe a more traditional winger on the left who'd cross the ball with Marco in the middle would be better than an playmaker. Marco definitely had a better setup to get the best out of him in the last round. :p

I'm of a (alcohol induced) good mind to scrap next round reinforcements and introduce a 'reality' injury round. A random player (non GK) of the winners playing 11 gets injured next round with no reinforcements available :keano:

Yeah could work, although next time I recommend keeping the amount of picks for each manager the same. We had some luck in the early rounds so won't hurt us too much getting only one player but second upgrade could've been useful.

Tuesday would be good for me, or Sunday maybe. What works for you guys?

This time we'll wait to see if MJJ can make it as it's really his team

Which is why I said I didn't need a Seeler upgrade but Facchetti to tandem with Rivelino. Nilton isn't too shabby a like-for-like replacement and it means he is back together with Djalma :drool:

I was looking at it the other way, don't mind Andrade but a rather traditional winger there instead of Rivelino (for now, as I haven't read what his exact role is and how he fits with others etc). Giggsy there?

Thing is I really like having a traditional winger on one side and an overlapping fullback 1-2 combo on the other, always have. Always tend to do it on the left for obvious reasons, and Rivelino suits that kind of combo superbly.

One thing is clear, I meed both options: the classic winger (Dzajic/Joya/Giggs) to pair with Andrade, and the Facchetti/Santos/Bobby C to pair up with Rivelino when I can be (or need to be) more adventurous.

Zona Mista basically?

I'm more a United man. Solid back 4, flying wingers on both sides even if not identical in styles, two up top.
It's what Marco loved playing in the most, as well, to be fair.

Yeah, I'm not actually a big fan of proper wingers on both sides, particularly in any side that wants to get a hold of the ball. Most drafts usually end for me ranting away about how full-backs overlap on the outside channel while most modern wingers or wide attackers will cut into the inside-left/right channels. Ultimately you want a mix so you've got all angles of attack, all five channels of the park, covered and not duplicated.

I suppose. To be honest, I never linked it to that system, which I see largely as a defensive system, but to a preference to mix things up when attacking.

But then, I'm a counterattacker by nature (Uruguay's DNA), loved Juve in the 80s and have always been fascinated by Grande Inter, so that's probably where it comes from indeed.

I love watching that. In full flight it is far more entertaining, but not as effective or adaptable.
