Too fiddly for me to be too bothered with.

Used https://www.buildlineup.com/ instead, which worked really nicely.

Now, recommendations of getting my image onto here?

The choice,  characteristics and movements of Sabitzer, who defends wide,  deeper but plays as a right-central midfielder in possession and for preventative marking balances Theo Hernandez's forward bursts to join the attack. This is a notable aspect of how Pep structured his team at Bayern.

Witsel anchors the midfield,  Arthur is critical in both the defensive and offensive phase,  Zielinski completes my unit here and links with the attack. 

The Son,  Pulisic,  Insigne attack fits what I want to do.  All three have the freedom to interchange positions,  move fluidly.

I considered other conventional full backs and formations first,  but having say Theo on one side and Hakimi on the other is still a tad exposed.  So Sabitzer gets his shot in this fairly unconventional setup.

1) Theo's overlap down the wing. A main facet of this team:



Sabitzer tucks in,  into midfield.  Zielinski joins the attack.

2) attack,  right central:



Zielinski joins attack after starting move,  Sabitzer moves into centre midfield, supporting the play alongside Arthur, Theo goes forward,  Insigne -  Son interchange.

Reminds me of an arcade game. Can't remember it now, made some weird fucking noise and then you'd just dive bomb whatever the target was and shoot the fuck out of anything that moved

Some interesting line-ups.  It would be great if we could actually see the drafter's ideas in action.  In match-ups you could have both guys post their plays tuned toward that opponent,  and we could judge the veracity,  more info to vote. Say you play Ronaldo on the wing and your opponent runs a specific play to exploit the lack of protection the fullback on that side will be getting,  that could earn my vote.

It's how football works in real life. It seems you guys have a long standing drafting community but ultimately you just post 11 names up on a static board... A lot of wasted potential there, room to build things. The game is in how the players work together.

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I am feeling kind so your sheep will be the most expensive keeper in the history of the game. If you can trade for someone better, do it.

He isn't that bad of a RB to be honest and gives you some extra height to attack set-pieces.
