WC XI game

this is a fun game i saw on twitter, build the best $33 team with these players

------------------Iker
-Lahm-----Nesta-------Baresi------Santos
------------Pirlo-----Xavi
-Maradona------Messi----------Iniesta
--------------Ronaldo (r9)

would probably be my pick.. to say the defense is weak compared to the others could be true but not a bad balance

is it breaking the rules by putting some players out of position?? like i did with maradona or iniesta?

1+3+4+1+2+4+3+1+5+4+5= 33

Had to make sacrifices in keeping and defence to make room for the GOAT trio of Maradona, Cruyff and Pele.

Some of the prices are off though. How in the world is Cristiano more than Cruyff and Gaarincha lol?

No Sepp Maier, no party

4+4+5+1+5+3+3+4+1+2+1=33

BAH GAWWD WHAT A TEAM

Also CR7 being more expensive than Fatty Ronaldo

Everyone snubbing Pele He was the GOAT of all GOATs.

-----------------Casillas
----Lahm----Nesta----Cannavaro---Roberto Carlos
----------Iniesta---Xavi---Zidane
---------Messi--------------Maradona
-------------------Pele

---------------------Buffon(3)

Carlos Alberto(2)-Scirea(4)-Franco Baresi(4)-Nilton Santos(2)

-------Falcao(2)----- Bozsif(3)-------Frank Rijkaard(3)

----------Garrincha(2)-Eusebio(3)-Johan Crujff(3)

3+2+4+4+2+2+3+3+2+3+3 = 33

The quite common 4-3-3 that would have Bozsif as the deep lying midfielder, Falcao as my B2B and Frank as Mr. Clean up (though he was more than that but still). Old man Johan and Garrincha as my inside forwards and Eusebio as my forward. Standard 4 at the back with Nilton Santos doing a lot for forward runs while I'll ask Carlos to be more conservative on the right.

The side would be playing mostly on the counter so I'm genuinely sure I'll fall out with Johan. So when that happens, I'll just replace him with George Best.

Honestly wanted to put Di Stefano or Pele as my forward and Maradona as the midfield lynchpin but they were too expensive and I didn't wanna sacrifice my centre back duo.

Also, while all the teams listed are pretty stacked, I'm genuinely sure my side would humble MT and Donut's side comprehensively.

does not mean he must fit into 33 dollar team...  

Casillas
Nesta-Baresi-Cannavaro
C.Alberto Xavi-Matthaus R.Carlos

Maradona-----Platini
Eusebio

BAM

Hope my math is correct.

I tried to have a good mix of athleticism and flair in my team. The formation would be a 4-3-1-2 and most of the play would run through Iniesta and Zidane who would be protected by Makalele and with Maradona being the creative heart of the side. Pele and Cris are my athletic freaks in attack and I have a solid defence with Iker, a dream Italian centre back pairing, an attacking Brazilian wingback and an efficient German left back.


If I did my maths right that means I have (4) left to spare so I choose Van Basten (2) and Ronaldinho (2) as super subs.

1 + 15 + 3 + 9 + 4 = 33

An unbreakable team.

Forza subscribing to the El Tata philosophy of Iniesta on the wing

I prefer to call it "VDB's WC Final extra-time philosophy"

Don Vicente's only philosophy is "Keep the squad happy".

---------------Yashin (5)---------------
Cafu (5) Nesta (1) Desailly (2) Brehme (1)
-----------Pirlo (2) Falcao (3)-----------
Garrincha (3) Maradona (5) Ronaldinho (2)
---------------Puskas (4)---------------

--------------------Casillas (1)--------------------
C. Alberto (2) Nesta (1) Beckenbauer (5) Fachetti (3)
-------------Neeskens (4) Falcao (3)---------------
----Platini (1) ------Maradona (5)------Cruyff (4)---
---------------------Ronaldo (4)-------------------

4-2-3-1 with solid defense and fullbacks. Neeskens and Falcao in the back 2 midfield passing to the creative trio up-front + the all-time world cup goalscorer as a striker.
