@Tuppet actually i had some free time today so my write up is ready.. We can play whenever is a good time for you
Oh, I can only put together a write up after around 6 hours. If that's okay we can start then. Otherwise we can play tomorrow.
That works for me! I'll send my write up in and we can play whenever you are ready.
Guys I have no idea who MJJ wants, sorry.
Wow didn‘t think someone would remember it. Will post it tomorrow since I am on my way to celebrate today on a rooftop bar. It has some unpicked/unnamed players in it so won‘t post it if someone has a problem with that.
Think nobody has picked Eusebio more than me here and have played him twice in the inside left channel, with an overlapping full back none the less, and you always went with that he won't be as good on the left channelfollowed by.... "I reckon a right forward is Eusebio's most optimal position."
He can play a leading the line CF or a left forward and be good, but not as good as right forward, imo.
On more serious note if he's to play today he'd most likely end up as inverted wing forward(more to the left side so he can cut in and shoot ) or as a complete CF.
Either way, a truly great forward.
I watched nearly all available YouTube videos on him again today. Wish United had a player like him. He makes his runs from left too but shoots mostly with right foot, inverted winger type sounds about correct. His work rate is outstanding, esp ability to run at defenders and hold his own.Think nobody has picked Eusebio more than me here and have played him twice in the inside left channel, with an overlapping full back none the less, and you always went with that he won't be as good on the left channel

As @Moby says, play him behind a CF and give him a free role.
Please everyone remember the max number of characters for the tactics OP are 2500. Also I think a limit of 5 vids per match thread per player to keep the discussion focused.
5 vids per player or per manager?
It used to be no not spoilered videos in Page 1. Everything else goes.
Seriously?
Yeah. 55 videos is no simple thing!
Good thing we’re two then with Joga being a master at that.
We can start it tomorrow morning.. Doesn’t matter
@MJJ when do you want to play?
In a recent draft the first page had 25 videos which is a pain for loading on mobile plus I don't think it helps the discussion to have so many. Videos are general and don't always help in answering specific questions about how X will play in this system against the opponents tactics. They can be the best line of argument but mostly when used specifically
Love this commentFive videos is spot on for me, can’t see any reason why a manager would need to post more than five YouTube videos in a match to make their point.
Personally always found the most effective arguments were those focused around discussion / tactics / anecdotes and I think it also leads to a better thread.

Depends really mate. If a certain manager picked 3-4 relatively unknown players you can’t have compilations on all and might be down to highlights, odd clips and so on. Even with Djalma last draft most voters asked for videos rather than anecdotes, although he’s very well known commodity and features regularly in drafts.
I don’t mind watching videos before voting in certain games especially when manager X tried to prove a point and shows Eusebio playing on the left for example.
Besides it’s odd to limit it in games but also have as a requirement in the picking process to have a full game of the player in question.
10 in, 6 to go.
This is what I came up with. Since it has some unnamed/unpicked players in it, I will remove it asap if someone wants me to remove it
It was meant as a magic square homage, and it's cetainly odds on favorite for the annual "Mauricio Pocchetino award for playing nice football without ever winning anything™"
.You used the Djalma vids well. I'm just trying to stop video spam. I agree with lesser known players you want vids but you aren't going to have that many players. Maybe 5 is too few but just try to limit them and use them well
Please tag those who haven't voted

Quick response as I'm a bit short with time today. I really like it a lot, 2 mobile forwards and that midfield base is looking great on paper. The fullbacks are good enough to support the system. As for the winning things, it's always the case of who is against you on the other side and can that side exploit some of the weaknesses (especially defensive ones in this case) more than you can hurt them.
But, yeah, lovely team, like the look of it. It would certainly play some nice football as you say.
Cheers! Glad you liked it

good defensive line, not easy to catch 3 players in offside trap.This is what I came up with. Since it has some unnamed/unpicked players in it, I will remove it asap if someone wants me to remove it

Yeah, maybe we can restrict the videos on the well known famous players that are just put up for the sake of it or just as a bump.
Is there any problem with spoilered videos? They should not clog up the thread or increase loading times, right?
I'm also against the video restrictions (obviously) — just be reasonable and don't clog the thread with endless best Ibra's goals compilations and such.
Although I'm very tempted to post all Beckham's assists for Man United A very depressing video, actually, when you compare him to our current "crossers" of the ball

A very depressing video, actually, when you compare him to our current "crossers" of the ballNo issue from me with spoilered videos, doesn’t impact navigating on a phone.
Still not sure why anyone would need to reference more than five YouTube videos in one match though but maybe I’m missing something.
To be fair on Djalma people required video evidence because your initial presentation of his offensive game was questionable.
On the general point your making though what you’re presenting is video posting in its best light i.e as a way of showcasing old players or particular tactical things (such as Eusebio on the right).
In reality what I’m referencing about is YouTube video spamming which is absolutely nothing like what your talking about. It’s when people post five different 20 minutes clips of Maradona and then the opponent responds with three 15 minutes videos of Ronaldo’s best goals - that’s a lot more common in draft threads than carefully selected videos showcasing particular tactical nuisances of Eusebio’s game imo.
