    Votes from non draft participants will not be counted, so don't bother.

    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:

    My new Center Midfielder



    My new Center Back

    AC MILAN legends and one club men, Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini played 196 matches as a central defensive partnership — conceding just 23 goals..

    Expect Maldini and Scirea to be almost as miserly.

    A spine of Muller, Maradona, Beckenbauer and Maldini is pretty special..

    Keano wins this for me.

    Bringing Maldini into defence and moving Beckenbauer into midfield was a masterstroke. I thought you were going to go 532 and I would dominate the midfield but your spine is now stronger than mine. Well played. Can't see anyone beating that team ,especially if you steal who I think you will.

    Voted Keano.

    The back four with Tardelli and Beckenbauer in front is too good. No bad front four also.

    Both have class teams but for me Keano has best team left in comp and would just have too much for bob. Great teams either way, only weak link in Keanos team is the most overated footballer in existence Ribery but can soon sort that

    In reality, like the other semi-final, I think it would be a close game. Both sides have a lot of quality and special footballers. Overall, it has to be Keano to win for me, for similar reasons to the lads listed above. Anyway, Keano has won, so congratulations and unlucky Bob.

    @Keano88 please indicate what player you'll be stealing.

    Johan Cruyff comes into the team.

    A good showing for your first ever draft on here.

    The obvious choice imo. One of the best ever.

    This one was harder to pick than the other semi.

    Rob had the better keeper, Keano had entirely the best back 4.

    Keano had the best two deeper midfielders

    Maradonna over Zico is the obvious choice.

    Cruyff over Riberi isn't even questionable.

    I'd take Rumminegge over the most overrated player in history, George "Best".

    And, Muller wins it for me over Romario.
