    I nearly left him alone, but in the end it's called the Makelele role with good reason.

    Makelele was my next pick too. Damn.

  3. Weeman27bob BE Force

    Was tempted by him, but I didn't want to pick him up this early.

  4. Speirz DG Speirs

    Given my other midfielders, I needed someone of his class there. It wouldn't be too hard to convince me that a couple of similar players who are still available were better than him though.

    Definitely works really nicely in your team.


    Trying to decide if I can afford to have someone with a bit more creativity than Makelele to sit back and play from deep or whether I need more of an enforcer to play at the back giving the attacking nature of Platini.

    I don't really know enough about Platini's defensive abilities to be confident with the latter.

    W-M formation. Not sure it's technically correct but am assuming the old-fashioned halfback positions are analogous to the modern central/holding midfield positions with the inside forward positions analogous to modern attacking midfield positions.

  9. Arheiner SIA Yates

    Decided I need at least one Wolves player in my side, regardless of whether he's the best pick or not. Still not a bad pick anyway.

    Arguably the best left back of all time and look at that facial hair.

    ????
    ???? - Gentile - Scirea - ????
    ???? - Matthaus
    Jairzinho - Guillit - Best
    ????​

    Sorting out half my back four with one of the greatest CB partnerships ever. Ok then :happy:

    Really happy with how my team is looking so far.

    Key spot is definitely going to be filling the other midfield position.

  16. Arheiner SIA Yates

    I kinda expect to get counterdrafted now.

    Plus I need a formation. Probably going a 3-2-5 or something else 1950s appropriate.

  17. Arheiner SIA Yates

    GK-Banks
    LB-
    CB-Wright
    CB-
    RB-Carlos Alberto
    LM-
    CM-
    CM-
    RM-
    CF-Eusebio
    CF-Nordahl

    With Edwards somewhere in midfield, doesn't matter where. It'll probably change as I go on but balancing 2 CFs is gonna be tough for a realistic side positionwise.

  18. Weeman27bob BE Force

    Ah bollocks.

    I'd forgotten you'd taken Carlos Alberto. Thought I might be able to snaffle him in the next round.

  19. Baxter MJ Deane

    Think I'm quite lucky in the sense there's an abundance of top quality keepers and strikers left so filling those gaps will be relatively straightforward and I can be so flexible with who I pick in midfield as it's entirely dependent on where I play Guillit.
    Matthaus is one of the most complete B2B midfielders ever too so he'll compliment whoever I pick.

    Leaving both fullbacks to be picked is a minor worry but one I'm happy with as if I absolutely need to I can move Gentile across. Although that would somewhat undermine the fact I basically picked them as a pairing.

    Happy with mine, a solid group of Liverpool legends who were vital for us being dominated in the 80s
