Lobanovsky!
Yes, all managers will get a particular blueprint, i.e. a formation graphic, to work from. I think the best way to do this is to post a list of all of 'em in the OP - but that's for Joga to decide.
Yes - that will be your main task here, in fact: Why did you pick Player X for Role Y - why would he fit the bill, what traits of his are comparable to those of his historical counterpart, and so forth.
Just making sure that it wasn't only the explanation of the formation and its effectiveness . Thanks for clarification
The magic square is one of the trickier formations out there (as suggested above). However, your remake won't be judged on an illustration alone - the main part is to understand what the roles actually are: You need to pick a player who can perform that striker part (which involves drifting wide and stretching the play, and so on).
Does the date of birth restriction not cover that anyway? Great formation you landed BTW!
You'll be fine mate. At the very least your match should attract plenty of interest
yeah, you are right. Scratch that!
Is that list above the snake order as well or just to decide the teams?
The d.o.b. cutoff takes care of 99%. The very few who remain will be a bonus * of sorts if you manage to get your hands on them. No players who truly matter to the tactics as such should be eligible here (I think).
I think anto build pretty successful one before and won a draft (or was it in the final?)
I'll leave that one for Joga.
He won it with a 4411 which morphed into a 3-2-3-2 in possession. Sammer played as a proper libero in a back 4 with defensive full-backs who tucked in. Neeskens then pushed forward behind the strikers.
I can only think of the Ajax side for 2 players that would possibly get straight in.
aye, I think you are right:
Hm. My side can pick one or two original players. It's boring though
Similar , but looks like a draft debut for the machine formation .
Hmm. It's a very familiar team and quite a straightforward, functional setup, so in theory it shouldn't be too difficult. It's very reliant on the two Bobby's to elevate it from functional to formidable, though, and replacing them is a pretty tough ask...
One classic English team followed by another: We all hope comeback kid @Brwned ain't too rusty as he goes to work on re-creating the wingless wondrousness of Alf Ramsey's World Champions.
Blueprint: England, 1966.
Yours is the only one, I think.
True. But something similar will be the case for most teams: Replicating individual quality will be impossible in many cases, and the assessment (of how well you've done with the remake) will have to take that into consideration.
It will be stressed in all sorts of ways that we're not dealing with regular, draft style fantasy matches: What the voters are to consider is how well the original has been remade, NOT how the XI would fare against the other manager's XI.
