I think it's a joke. I can understand how it would be difficult to visualise though given how multifaceted the roles are supposed to be. I do think though England showed that such a system can work and work smoothly. Obviously they didn't come up against your midfield, but England had Lingard, Alli and Henderson in midfield.Sjor above posted the formation when they are in possession, would you agree that this doesn't really look fluid as mentioned so far?
Henderson, Lingard and Alli are hugely inferior but it has nothing to do with this game mate. All of them have much higher work rate than Giresse and Laudrup. Couldn't be much different IMO.I think it's a joke. I can understand how it would be difficult to visualise though given how multifaceted the roles are supposed to be.

It's well known draft plan tho. You just reflect the negatives and weaknesses about your team. When it becomes pointless it works in your favor as voters will begin to skim through it.Not sure which back and forth was more funny and reaching to being pointless. This or the MJJ/EAP one
Yea, not an appropriate example.Henderson, Lingard and Alli are hugely inferior but it has nothing to do with this game mate. All of them have much higher work rate than Giresse and Laudrup. Couldn't be much different IMO.
Think you could we've seen it in drafts beforeYea, not an appropriate example.
Redondo and Makelele do get this leeway due to those Madrid teams though. Always tough to imagine it working against an all time setup.
The lack of a number 10 on your team does make it a little easy to imagine it working though (I am not arguing if it will work or not, simply dunno and I keep going back and forth. Would withdraw my vote if I could)
Ronaldo has 2 versions at Real? I've already answered on page 1 mate. The version that scored 50-60 goals on regular basis with overlapping left back like here in Gordillo.Regarding Ronaldo, we asked you about what version of him you guys are using but i dont recall we got a clear answer. You guys said Madrid but IMO he has 2 versions from there. Nice bit of deflecting
He is being dealt with Armfield who was considered best european fullback at the time and a beast called Jaap Stam who is not only a great player but a perfect tactical fit for Ronaldo. He always had MUCH more creativity behind himself then you guys have in your team + im not sure him and Robben would like playing with each other, just a matter of time for one to start bitching around how other is selfish.
Its not discussed much just like our attack wasnt, who and how will Romario be stopped with so much creativity behind him, Butragueno vs Panucci is probably the biggest mismatch on the pitch(bigger then Sergi vs Robben as Sergi at least has pace and agility to at least try to stop Robben + has security of back 3 behind him).
IMO he has, early version and late version so by your reaction you are playing early version, great. Would pay to watch him and Robben in their melodrama.Ronaldo has 2 versions at Real? I've already answered on page 1 mate. The version that scored 50-60 goals on regular basis with overlapping left back like here in Gordillo.
The second version I assume is when he lost a step or two, but makes no sense to play that...
Well since you put it this way and unfortunately won't be much available in the latter stages of the game so tagging some of the managers who haven't voted to share their opinions on the game, so it's fairBut tagging cal? is a cry for help, its like Moyes turning towards Fergie in the stands and asking him to come down.
Players can feel those things, their heads are gone and we just won the match no matter what the voting outcome will be in few hours.
its been fun but tiring as feckGood luck guys in the end. It has been emotional

Aye, that's nail on the head really. Too bad others can't see it that way...This is a tough one, not least because I see Gio getting credited for my profiling efforts on P1
Team Beam is more nuanced and creative in midfield. The Laudrup-Romario link always has me drooling. I'm not a fan of a holding Redondo (great, but not fully exploited) or the fullbacks (Armfield for the setup, Sergi given the Robben threat as he is a great fit).
Therein lies the problem as I see Enigma Bonito being very very effective on the break. Tito would be playing them through all day long.
There's more leadership, determination and grit across Team Enigma Bonito (required to play to their strengths).
If Team Beam score first it's a hard climb back into the game. If Enigma Bonito do they could end up completely out of sight.
I can't think of a better midfield setup to deal with Team Beam. It sacrifices creativity and flair, but it's as effective as it could conceivably be so I take that as the tie breaker in that Cristiano and Robben are rampant while their defensive setup can limit their rival's effectiveness.
Consider my vote withdrawn.Think you could we've seen it in drafts before
he said its a tough one and that it might go both ways, you said how we build the most disfunctional team ever and how would you just walk through us so quoting him and saying nail on had like he said what you are saying all the time is funny. Maybe your future is in politics, that part of the game is quite good by the look of thingsAye, that's nail on the head really. Too bad others can't see it that way...
Also Gio posted it in the last draft so I took it from him, but knew you might have hand in this.
What is that?here we go
That might been the actual game plan, mind.What is that?
Redondo walks past Careca, dribbles in between Goncalves and Neeskens, only to turn around and take the piss out of Neeskens again. Maybe he gives the ball to Laudrup, who makes an S-shaped pass directly into the feet of Romario to slot it in
This match is a classic. I love it.
Let down by team mates again...
Sorry. Ill the last two days and busy today.Don't think I'll get a formation out of @Šjor Bepo he's saving it like the Holy Grail itself and neither manager seems to have an idea how they will shape up in attack
Well since you put it this way and unfortunately won't be much available in the latter stages of the game so tagging some of the managers who haven't voted to share their opinions on the game, so it's fair
@Isotope @Skizzo @P-Nut0712 @RedTiger @oneniltothearsenal @Gio @Ecstatic
Good luck guys in the end. It has been emotional
I take it you are in the sack Mourinho campSorry. Ill the last two days and busy today.
I think you could have been more offensive so a 4-4-2 with Neeskens-Davids in central midfield. I have the feeling that your full-back are balanced so I would have replaced Nestor Goncalves by an offensive player to support Careca.
I like the rationale of Team Beam (playmaking midfield, connection Romario-Laudrup) but I would have loved more shining/offensive full-back in a 3-5-2 system. I have just watched the video about Armfield so it's great to really discover this player whose stamina seems high. I selected Butrageno in a previous draft and I had mixed feelings: I don't know if he's really a consistent player (similar thoughts about Paolo Rossi) with a sense of sacrifice as I see Laudrup-Giresse trying to compensate the relatively lack of offensive impact of the FB in this context.
So, the choice is between a brilliant team with a lot of creativity and a powerful team with players more suited to win the battle midfield, good against evil
It is in a sense that budget limits you, but then again if you dig or find some under the radar players (not listed or not valued so much) you will still be able to put a pretty strong lineup. Armfield, Schulz and Giresse in our case and on their side, you had Carvalho, Gordillo and Goncalves who were all I think not listed players and valued at minimum prices. Likewise in other teams.Btw, wasn't this supposed to be a draft where you got a GOAT and a bunch of second tier players? Looks like a regular All-Time draft to me.
Yeah, had the same problem with Neeskens.Good game @Šjor Bepo @Jim Beam , felt dirty arguing against Laudrup and Giresse (and tried to pretend Schulz wasn't on your side, ridiculous that he was 25m btw) but had to be done , best of luck going forward guys.
