Uno Draft: QF - Skizzo vs. GodShaveTheQueen

[Enigma_87]

Love the 4-4-2, although I'd prefer Bale on the right.

Dropping Kalle is criminal, but of course I can understand the tactical reasoning behind it.

Skizzo has more quality all over. Scholes is a great fit, but don't rate particularly high Stiles. SKizzo definitely has the edge in midfield.

Ruud and Eusebio is a proper front two. Both will relish to play along each other..

NOBBY STILES, JUST A PURE DM?

Below is the compilation of his attacking plays and forward runs from the 1966 WC final against Germany. Stiles is Number 4 on the pitch.

The last GIF is of the 3rd England goal which gave them the lead in extra time when the score was tied at 2-2 after 90 minutes.

It was Stiles' pass and pre-assist (quite Scholes-esque), that started the move leading to the goal.

While the game is as good as over, I did want to showcase this side of Stiles' game as well since he more or less has been marked as a pure DM in drafts while quite clearly he had a lot more to his game as compared to your average defensive midfielder.

Wanted to make this yesterday since I expected questions on his capability to be dynamic enough in a 4-4-2 but couldn't get time

I will have to think about this some more but respect @GodShaveTheQueen for producing the first old school 442 in a draft match. Most of the 442s have a creative second striker rather like I had with Raul so it can be more of a 4411 out of possession but this is much closer to the big man little man front two. I haven't seen that since Heskey and Owen

Cheers Physio. Was a fun lineup to build.

Good game @GodShaveTheQueen I do like a good 442
