Henry Ibrahimovic C.Ronaldo Yes, I went for Viera, but it's 6 and 2 threes. But that's how we ultimately scored it after a few straighteners, because he tried to sneak Casillas in instead of Campos, despite him being 5'11 Edited February 16 by Abacus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) 12 hours ago, Abacus said: Tallest front 6 including midfielders. Ibrahimovic is in there, I'm tempted to go for Crouch, but midfield and wingers are an issue getting tall players over say 6'2. Is 6’1” too short for a tall midfielder? @Abacus Zidane.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Kinda linked to Mitchell’s comments on Beardsley, but also something i saw on Facebook - if you built an all star 11 from 00/01-05/06 and then 20/21-25/26 who would come out on top? could be premier league or world 11s.

Abacus Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Without naming individual players, I reckon fitness and tactics have moved on to the detriment of individuality in that 20 years that the 20-26 team would likely win. Not sure it makes for a more entertaining game overall, though. In fact I'm fairly sure it doesn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game seems less tactical and technical to me these days, but it would be hard to compete against today’s athleticism. At some point we decided that having a team of players that can run 10-12km per game, press, and run sprints for 90 minutes was the best way to win games.
