Formation 433
The idea is to limit space for the oppositions wingers. Two of the best of all time against Kieran Gibbs and an attacking full back in Dani Alves is obviously the area we would struggle most. Our plan would be to limit the space they have to work in. Conte buzzing around to help, and Petit to do the same on the other side. Campbell and da Guia would offer sterner resistance through the middle, and Campbells physical presence and da Guia's intelligent reading of the game would offer at least some extra defensive nous.
On the flip side, no fancy stuff, no intricate passing, tiki taka, build up...we're looking to hit quick and hard on the counter with our front 3, and with Ademir looking to play them in from deeper.
Good luck @idmanager

Formation: 4-3-3/4-2-3-1
Defence:
The defense is marshaled and organized by Gaetano Scirea, the greatest Italian defender alongside Baresi. Partnering Scirea is Baresi's former partner in the greatest defense of all time, Alessandro Costacurta. Scirea and Costacurta are almost the perfect partners for each other.
On the left side is Silvio Marzolini, the greatest Argentine left back of all time. He will be playing a defensive role and only go forward if required to link up. On the right side of the defense is Mel Charles, voted the best defender of the 1958 world cup and called by Pele as the best and toughest defender in the 1958 World cup. He was part of the only Welsh team to qualify for the WC and reach the QF's only to lose to 1-0 to Brazil. This Welsh team did not concede more than 1 goal in any of the games despite facing some great attacking teams of that time in Hungary/Sweden/Brazil. He is a complete player capable of playing anywhere across the defense or as a DM. His job would be to stay back and kill any attacks from the left.
Midfield:
The midfield is designed in such a way that it is as balanced as possible in attack and defense. It should be capable of breaking up plays as well as dominating possession. It should have some great passers with brilliant passing range, but also players with great work rate. The three players that form it tick all the above boxes.
Fernando Redondo and Clarence Seedorf form the two man base with Paul Scholes ahead of them. Seedorf will support Mel Charles on the right side defensively and also keep things moving with his tremendous energy. Redondo and Scholes have lots of creativity to open up any defense and dominate any opposition midfield.
Attack:
The attack has a very simple setup.
The greatest undisputed right winger of all time in Garrincha. Loads of trickery with pin point crosses and capable of cutting in. Also capable of chipping in with goals.
A top 3 greatest left winger of all time in Dragan Dzajic. Similar skill sets as Garrincha. He had a magical left foot. Could deliver perfect pin point crosses and capable of cutting in. Scored his fair share of goals as well.
A team built with two greatest wingers of all time demands a striker perfect for their skill set. And leading the attack is John Charles, a complete striker. He was supremely talented, possessing a delicate first touch and good control, and in the air he was masterful. Not just because of his spectacular ability to rise above defences, but also the awesome power with which he could head the ball. Apart from his versatility, he was comfortable with either foot, possessed great stamina and strength.
