Brazilian unpicked chain -

Domingos da Guia - Zizinho - Garrincha - Tostao - Carlos Alberto - Toninho Cerezo -  Junior - Mauro Silva - Aldair - Ze Roberto - Dida

Dida

C. Alberto         Aldair       da Guia        Junior

Mauro Silva  Toninho Cerezo

Garrincha        Zizinho       Ze Roberto

Tostao

You could also make this team a lot better by moving away from Brazil with Aldair and switching a few of the earlier picks -

Domingos da Guia - Zizinho - Garrincha - Gerson - Carlos Alberto - Toninho Cerezo -  Junior - Taffarel - Aldair - Totti - Vieri

Taffarel

C. Alberto         Aldair       da Guia        Junior

Gerson  Toninho Cerezo

Garrincha      Totti      Zizinho

   Vieri

Almost, just need to draw a cock on Gerry's formation and then we're good

Got two top teams really... looked at your Maradona led team

Christ on a bike it’s good

Don’t know too much about the LB or RCB but willing to learn

Thanks, I'm quite happy with it. Kohler was a great 'stopper' so to speak and played alongside the more aesthetically pleasing Sammer at Dortmund and they we pretty great together. Augenthaler was more similar to Sammer in that respect and is pretty much considered one of the best ever players in Bayern Munich's history.

On another note, I have the draft listings of two possible teams that I think I might have been able to accomplish (seeing that Rio Ferdinand would have been the 1st pick in the 9th round and thus not available for Max to take later on).

Tell me which one of the teams you like better and why, if you would please


                  Team #1                         Team #2


1.               Aguero                           Aguero
2.               Zanetti                            Zanetti
3.               Ronaldo                          Ronaldo
4.               Makalele                         Makalele
5.               Robben                           Robben
6.               Van Dijk                         Van Dijk
7.               Mane                              Henderson
8.               Koulibaly                        Ferdinand
9.               Reina                              Tony Adams
10              De Boer                          Pat Jennings
11              Litmanen                        George Best


Team #1


Team #2 -  Same arrow for Zanetti covering the marking back position


I like the first team better, mainly because it looks to have better natural balance. Your second side doesn't have any natural wide players, even Robben who nominally starts out on the wing, has a trade mark of cutting inside onto his left foot. Unlike Mane, who genuinely is comfortable going outside or in, even as right footed player playing on the left. And De Boer and Zanetti offer support out side too, particular De Boer (even whilst not being an attacking fullback like say Robertson is). I would worry about Makelele being left on his own but would justify it by saying Van Dijk and Koulibaly would be so high up that it wouldn't matter, especially with Reina behind them.

Mane's a great pick by the way, he's been an unbelievable player for us.
We have to change from doubter to believer. Now.

I'll set something up. Just need to make sure everyone's posted their teams and sort out match-ups.

For decades people have wondered what this clash of the titans would produce. Ali Vs Tyson, Borg Vs Federer, Fangio Vs Schumacher, Jordan Vs Lebron pale into insignificance....

Junior Firpo Vs Jair
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.

Why you dissing my lad Lobo? The man got his honours and in his position was mother goating Garrincha and Jairzinho afterwards. Are you surprised he got 1 cap?

Luckily he's lopsided his team so badly Firpo will have an easy time of it

Lobo's drawn the short straw here and got to face the best team in it first up. Would be a worthy opponent for me in a final.

Not a fix by the way, like Man City, I have the evidence to prove there's no wrong doing should anyone require it.

Max's team has no width and Steve Nicol never had the makings of a varsity athlete so the Firpo issue is dead before it begins.

Effenberg and Matthaus fight each other and De Rossi crumples the winner. Esteban Cambiasso is a nobody and Tevez is fat. Fowler is nullified by my centre backs and the game ends 3-0 to the lads
