One of my favourite ever draft sides that - still not sure how you lost that, although both teams were pretty spectacular. Depends what version of Van Basten you use.. the younger one circa 86-89, was rapid and such a all round threat, he'd work well with anyone or go it alone (as well as possessing the footballing IQ of a god).It works brilliantly IMO. Skizzo and I fielded that Maradona/Eusebio combo before in an all-time draft, in an initially clumsy set up that ended up coming together nicely for the final:
While there's a drop in idividual quality from van Basten to Suarez, Suarez arguably works better as a facilitator to Maradona and Eusebio.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Cheers mate, I loved that team myself. As regards how we lost it. In a nutshell:
Then we ended up losing on penalties.Agree that van Basten's all-around game often gets underrated. One thing that I've noticed is that he had an absolutely brilliant cross on him, and he often drifted out to the right wing to utilise it. Worked a treat when he had a monster like Gullit up front with him for club and country.

Mani. I didn't want to quote or tag him as the poor fecker felt quite bad about it at the time, not least because we moaned about it so much
The upside of keeping the score hidden is nobody sitting on the fence or somewhat indifferent feels the urge to "make it more even".Mani. I didn't want to quote or tag him as the poor fecker felt quite bad about it at the time, not least because we moaned about it so much
