Indnyc...............................................................................................................................Edgar Allan Pillow
..........VS..........
Team Indnyc (G. Gattuso dropped for G. Lineker)
Team Shape - 4-4-2 Diamond
Platform is nicely set for Rui Costa to supply for 2 great goal scorers in Lineker and Lewandowski. Lampard and Toure are 2 Box to Box midfielders with Fernandinho sitting.
Defense is solid with Ayala and Bruce. Width provided by the fullbacks
Team Edgar Allan Pillow (Gilberto S. dropped for B. Auld)
Formation:
Good ol' 4-4-2 mostly from the classic United side, great Lisbon Lions, a bit of Arsenal and some other teams sprinkled in.
Defence:
Ronnie Simpson kept the Lison Lions all the way to their success. With synergy of having McNeill ahead of him, he'll be the final guardian of the goal. Balanced fullbacks in Denis Irwin and Sandy Jardine, solid defensively and able to provide attacking contribution too. Billy McNeill was captain and anchor for Lisbon Lions and Tony Adams was a standout defender for the Arsenal. Between them they'll provide a solid base for the team to be built on.
Midfield:
The great combo of right half Bobby Murdoch and left half Bertie Auld were the engine room of the legendary Lisbon Lions team. The relentless combativeness of Auld compliments well with the sublime play making of Murdoch. Both are capable of getting on the scoresheet themselves too. A change from the 4-2-4 of the lions will be the extra support they'll get from the wide men here.
David Beckham and Robert Pires, classic wingers who were brilliant for their respective team. Beckham's passing/crossing and Pires's playmkaing in final third will complement each other well. Not just sticking by the sideline, they'll drift in and provide additional manpower to the middle too.
Attack:
Perfectly in sync, telepathic understanding, great workrate and comes up big in needed situations, they are one of the top tandem attacking duo in UK if not the best of all time.
Why I'll win:
+ Players proven in the tactics and formation.
+ Lots of synergy with many duos having played together in real life.
+ Workrate, creativity abundant all through and won't need any specific person to pull strings. Attack can originate from anywhere and so hard to defend against.
