Football/soccer all-time draft tournament(organized matchups)

[LJJ]

Cantona played behind forwards in Manchester and was effective so I don't see why you have such a big problem with it. Let's say Vogts is as useless as you say when it comes to passing and crossing, what I want out of him is an everlasting presence on offense with his stamina. Not every team has to have a super talented offensive RB to be successful, kc has Puyol on his right.

Cantona played as one of the two forwards for United usually. And United has also always played with two dedicated wingers. I criticized KC's right side too.

These reviews definitely help I must say. If I do make it through the next round I'm changing up my strategy a bit. Should have changed my back line a bit as well.

Okocha, Toure, and Vieira in the midfield isn't exactly my cup of tea...I find it really strange that so many of you are playing with no wings at all, are you guys relying on your fullbacks to cross the ball in? Puyol as a RB is bad enough (imo), but it wouldn't be that bad if he was to stay in defense all game. With the formation you selected, he is going to have to make runs from the right side, and that doesn't intimidate anybody, especially in a all time draft. R.Carlos is good, but that means you only have the left side to work with. Dunksby's squad is also lacking wings, but his fullbacks at least make up for it. I agree Cantona is really not needed, and that a played like Ozil would be much more efficient for you at that spot. Looking at their gkers, Kahn is a show stopper while Cech compared to him is average. dunksby gets my vote on default, because I feel like kc16 did a poor job with his team all together. If you really wanted to make a Mourinho team, you should of gotten strong wings and went with only 1 striker. Get rid of Weah and Okocha, have Vieira and Toure be the DM's, Riquelme AM, Eusebio the loan striker, and 2 decent wings...along with coach Mourinho, your team would of been much better like that.

maybe waseem780 will count the votes from the matchups and decide who goes forward to go to the next one.

Btw, Roberto Carlos:

[b1imtf]

Dunksby.

[alenleomessi]

ill go with dunksby too.. just a better overall team( dem germans + cantona and tigana who are actually quite underrated nowadays).. kc's midfield is bunch of talented players thrown together.. and i think he could have done a better job on defense ( kuffour, puyol rb? )

[Overdrive]

It's a toss up for me. kc got a strong offensive team with a coach that preaches defense, dunksby a strong defensive one with an offesive coach.

I think I'll give the nod to kc, because I think Mourinho could make this defense work well enough, the creating is topnotch on this team. Dunskby's only flaw is Cantona. He's really odd there. At a point I planned on putting Zola in a similar role and I think he would've fared good, but Cantona just wasn't made for this.

Still, If those teams squared up I think 9 times out of 10 they'd draw.

[waseem780]
