Himmanv Tactics
Tactics: 4-3-3
Features:
- Larsson up front leading the line.
- Wide forwards cutting in (Baggio and Robben)
- Midfield trio built for both on the ball and off the ball success.
- Fullbacks who can attack and defend
- Desailly and Blanc complimentary pairing
- Preud'homme in goal.
In focus:
I think Larsson is a very underrated striker and at his best is a top striker who can score loads of goals while also acting as a great focal point of an attack. Here's a compilation of him that was simply scrumptious to watch:
The Religion Tactics
Formation: 5-3-2 - High wing backs for width, high tempo, direct style, aggressive ball winning in central areas
A back three set up that has been strengthened enormously with the acquisition of German legends Sammer and Kohler. Taffarel; quick off his line and comfortable with the ball at his feet. The ideal goalkeeper to build attacks and help sweep in behind however in this system he will not be a sweeper keeper given who he has in front of him. Nice option to have though should the need arise.
The system is tailor-made for Ballon d'Or-winning colossus Sammer, who from his favoured libero role can push through into the 6 area with Makelele to help win the ball back or create an overload in attacking phases, with LCB and RCB Kohler and Cannavaro holding the fort behind him.
High positioned attacking fullbacks both with powerful engines and capable of impacting the game in offensive and defensive phases; Lizarazu and Dani Alves provide the width. The system behind them allows them to both to play with more freedom going forward utilising their creativity and ability to create overloads and overlaps in wide areas. Both have the engines to get up and down the pitch quickly and both are good with the ball - they're both ideal for the system and probably the best set of wing backs in the draft.
Makelele will play his favoured defensive screening role alongside all-action all-rounder Clarence Seedorf. Classic 6 and 8 pairing. This midfield will not be out worked or out battled, nor does it lack technical ability with Makelele offering underrated deep lying play making ability and Seedorf boasting a highly impressive technical skill set in addition to his substantial physical gifts.
Hagi is in his element as our playmaker with complete freedom to drift in the left and central areas. This brings the best out of him creatively and prevents him from becoming frustrated. A technically excellent, mobile player who can isolate weaknesses and seek to exploit them. Capable of carrying the ball and dribbling past or picking incisive passes, this role simply lets Hagi express himself.
David Villa plays in partnership with Weah. They work in tandem and interchange between roles; one can drop deep, collect and carry whilst the other seeks that space to break the lines. The versatility of both players, in particular Villa, helps this work and creates huge problems for the opposition especially if they try and get close. The fluidity means CBs get pulled out of position and space appears which both have the awareness,and blistering pace, to exploit.
Key Notes;
* Three Ballon d'Or Winners in three key areas. Cannavaro, Sammer and Weah.
* The team has leaders everywhere and a rock solid core. The defence in particular would be tough to improve upon in this draft pool and includes the Sammer/Kohler partnership.
* Top-notch build up from deeper areas through Sammer and the two of the best full backs in the draft.
* The fluidity of the system is key and has the right balance of flexibility all over the pitch.
* With threats from every channel to stretch Himannv's defenders, there's few better in the draft than Villa to exploit the gaps and supply the lethal cutting edge. He'll thrive off the sheer chaos that Weah induced in defences at his peak, particularly with a creator of Hagi's quality behind them.

Taffarel - Greatest Brazilian keeper of all time with a true modern day style, quick off his line and comfortable in possession, good distribution, excellent reflexes and superb shot stopping ability - Peak 98-01 (World Cup winner, FIFA World XI, Brazilian football hall of famer)
Lizarazu - Bayern hall of fame inductee, energetic, reliable, defensively solid, mobile and with an excellent engine. Perfectly balanced full back going forward and defensively - Peak 98-01 (UEFA team of the year, FIFA World XI, Champions League winner, World Cup and Euro winner)
Dani Alves - Best offensive full back of his generation, excellent mobility, passing and crossing ability, overlapping runs to give width, powerful engine, strong, tenacious with high energy and workrate - Peak 07-10 (Eight time FIFA world XI member, Five time UEFA team of the year, La Liga defender of the season, Three time Champions League winner, player with most collective honours ever)
Seedorf - Complete midfielder; pace, stamina, strength, technical ability and creativity. Equally good defensively and devastating going forward - box to box role - Peak 06-09 (Four time Champions League winner, two time UEFA team of the year, UEFA best midfielder award, FIFA 100 inductee)
Makelele - That good they named his holding role after him, great reader of the game and perfect shield for the defence. Underrated DLP ability with excellent short passing and tactical and positional discipline - ball winner - Peak 04-07 (FIFA World XI pick, Champions League winner)
Hagi - Showman, playmaker, creative genius and absolute character, quick, two footed and comfortable in any forward areas, his understanding of space and technical ability is unrivalled at his peak - number 10 - Peak 94-97 (FIFA WC All Star, FIFA 100 inductee, 4th place Ballon d'Or, FIFA World XI pick)
Weah - Strong, physical, quick, superb dribbler and excellent finisher, all round multi functional forward, Ballon d'Or winner, FIFA world player of the year, who Henry modelled his game on - Peak 94-97 (Ballon d'Or winner, FIFA 100 inductee)
Cannavaro - One of his best attributes is mental strength, composure and consistency. Forget stupid mistakes and lapses in concentration, Fabio doesn't do them. When you add this mindset to his pace, power, ability to read the game, tackling and ball playing ability you really get a player with no weaknesses. His height? 5'9. Problem? Not when you have a leap like Michael Jordan and the timing and accuracy to go with it - Peak 03-06 - (Ballon d'Or winner, World player of the year, Two time FIFA World XI member, Team of the decade, World Cup winner.. I could go on)
Villa - Held as one of the greatest forwards of his generation and one the the best Spanish forwards of all time, a two footed prolific goalscorer with superb finishing, composure, agility, pace and dribbling abilities. Not only was Villa ruthless in front of goal he possessed excellent vision and passing ability. This, mixed with his football intelligence, allowed him to drop deep to receive the ball and link up play with the midfield. He was equally able to create for others as he was to score himself. - Peak 07-10 - (World Cup winner, European Championship winner, FIFA world XI member, CL winner, Spain's all time top scorer)
Kohler - Strong, powerful, excellent awareness and ariel ability. Highly regarded as one of the best stoppers of his generation and of all time. Hard in the tackle yet composed enough to recover the ball and play progressively with his feet - Peak 92-95 (World Cup Winner, European Championship Winner, Champions League Winner, Multiple domestic titles, German Footballer of the Year, European Championship Team of the Tournament)
Sammer - Not many defenders win the Ballon d'Or but Sammer was much more than a defender. His superb footballing brain, technical ability and natural fitness allowed him to do everything on the football pitch making him the best libro to grace the game and supremely comfortable in a number of defensive and offensive roles - Peak 94-97 (Ballon d'Or, 100 Greatest Player of All Time, European Championship Winner, Champions League Winner, 2 x German Player of the Year)
Lizarazu - Bayern hall of fame inductee, energetic, reliable, defensively solid, mobile and with an excellent engine. Perfectly balanced full back going forward and defensively - Peak 98-01 (UEFA team of the year, FIFA World XI, Champions League winner, World Cup and Euro winner)
