    READ THIS FIRST:

    Once your team is ready, post your line up in here and any tactics you'd employ in this match. Once both teams are up, I'll put up the poll.

    You can vote for yourself (votes for your own team should eliminate each other out) or you can vote against yourself to end your misery quicker. Up to you.

    Votes from non-draft participants won't be counted, so don't bother.

    Finally, rather than just voting, it would be good if people could justify why they think a particular team would win. :50:

    I'll wait until JC Anton has posted his team, then we can lay down our tactics. :50:

    Very strong looking team Minty..

    There's still a couple of additions I'm after before I post my starting 11.

    You should be able to pick today, so hopefully you can get your formation and tactics posted in here. Then I'll add the poll.

    Tactics- The Butcher of Seville will 'take out' Pele. Mr perfect will need more than * to get up as the hardest player in football blunts Mintys attack with one swift kick.
    With Pele out of the side Mintys team lacks a real cutting edge up front.

    With Sammer in the sweeper role and Silva protecting the midfield there is no way through. Maicon and Lizarazu will break at speed on the wings. Neuer is the best keeper in the world and his countryman Augenthaler provides stelel to this cohesive counter attacking side.

    Xavi and Kaka will control the middle of the park.

    With King Kenny playing just off one of the best ever goal scorers if not the best.

    The bench is strong with Ince full of running if we're reduced to 10 and Bergkamps intelligence making a man advantage negligible. Couto to bolster the tiring defence.

    On paper Mintys team is superior, my tactics and the booting * out of Pele by my Butcher evens things up. :56:



    My hero :54:.. see how you like it Pele you *..

    Playing Kaka as a CM is a mistake. He's a no.10 or a supporting striker.

    My defence is stronger, my midfield has better balance and my attack is strong enough to score against any defence.

    Puskas was a great goalscorer as you say, Pele was better.

    Minty takes it. Perfect balance all over the pitch, with a frightening attack and rock solid back 5.

    Minty's team looks very difficult to beat.

    Minty for me.

    The chemistry between that front 4 would be near impossible to cope with.

    It's a lot closer than the scoreline suggests imo.

    Think Defence is a close one.. Dead heat.

    Midfield I would give the edge to JC.

    Attack I would go to Minty.

    I have chosen Minty to win as I think his team has the better balance to it.

    Yeah the scoreline is a bit more emphatic than I thought.

    JC's bench is quite strong as well too, and I like his set up at the back.

    I think Xavi is the only one who would replace any of my midfielders. In fact, he's the only one who would get in my team.

    One more vote required for a win, for me.

    Anton requires 7.
