Team EAP ___________________________________________________________________-------_____________________________ Team Himann
Team EAP
Formation: 4-4-1-1 hybrid with (relatively) narrower/flexible midfielders who can drift inside and outside.
Tactics:
+ Super solid back line.
+ Baraja-Essien is a very productive midfield engine. Baraja's playmaking from the deep complimented well with the powerful all action tough play of Essien.
+ Boban and Pires are versatile midfielders who have operated across both flanks and through the middle. With good workrate and creativity, they will bridge the gap between midfield and attack.
+ Idea is for Totti to be more of a SS/AM hybrid to enhance his goalscoring.
+ Kluivert as the point man surrounded by talent bringing it all together. His partnership with Totti might resemble his Barca stint with Rivaldo.
Player Profiles:
Team Himann
Tactics: 4-2-3-1
Features:
- Larsson up front leading the line.
- Wide forwards cutting in (Baggio and Robben)
- Gullit playing as a physical AM who can play the front 3 in on the counter.
- Cambiasso is DM playmaker - Gilberto does the dirty work.
- Fullbacks who can attack and defend
- Desailly and Pallister CB pairing, both of whom are decent on the ball.
- Preud'homme in goal.
Discussion point:
I think criticisms will be aimed at Gullit's peak years so here he is in the selected timeframe playing exactly this kind of role and proving he is not past it:
