Messi-Doumbia strikeforce. Looks really strange. You have the best player in the world partnering a very average striker. I would play Messi as striker, remove Doumbia or Lukaku, put Lucas Leiva as DMF, Wilshere as AMF and Paulinho as CMF. You would have gotten my vote with that formation because I hate Urban's formation.

By the way there is Blaszczykowski both in the first team and subs bench. If you didn't know, Skip, Kuba's long name is Blaszczykowski.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Oh whoops. I missed it since I forgot he's called Kuba for some strange reason.

 

[Mandieta6]

I agree with Nady, Lucas over Doumbia. Urban gets my vote.

This. Or he could play Wilshere and Paulinho as double pivot and Arda Turan in front of them, not on the wing. Or Pauldinho DM, Wilshere CM, Arda AM. Any of these would be more defensive and I think it would be better for his team, with those players.
Still, i voted Brazzers, i think he has a more balanced team, even with that formation. And he has Messi in his team. (!)


Urban has a very weak attack. Very! Kiessling isn't a world-class striker. I mean someone who can win matches by himself, like RvP, Ibra, Falcao etc. Vidal is a better goalscorer than Ozil. I said it before, i can't see Kuba playing on that position. Kuba can't score many goals from that position and you have Kiessling there (not fucking Falcao), he needs some help. Your team is too defensive, you don't have strikers.

 

[Mandieta6]

I agree with Nady. Leiva over Dpumbia. I don't get why you didn't just explain how Lukaku and Messi would work together, I might have changed my votes had the explanation made sense. Anyway, Urban's team is my favorite barring my own so he.gets my vote.

You peasants know nothing about Doumbia, check him out bitches, before you pass out judgement. Best player in the Russian league, men lie, women lie, numbers don't!

Also I had an aditional image that illustrated perfectly my amazing tactic, I sent it to Skip next to the formation one. But for some reason he seems to have not posted it. Shame.

Doumbia is good Andrei but not Draft first team material. I still don't know how Urban's formation would work in real life, and I'm mostly thinking about Kuba. He doesn't have those attributes in BvB, nor the qualities of a RB, which he has to own playing in that position. He is no Lichtsteiner. There's a huge imbalance between Urban's left and right flanks.

Also, if Doumbia isn't draft first-team material, neither is Kiessling. And I currently rate Gomez over him.

I think I said it before, Urban's squad gives him very good options to line-up a very good 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3.

I'm voting for Andrei because of Urban's bad choices. Had he lined-up a completely different formation with different players I probably would have changed my decision.

 

[4ndr3i]

Urban's weakest link is the 3-5-1-1. I fucking hate it, it's useless against average teams even when you have beast players playing it. eg. Juve against Copenhagen. And Juve are a much better team that what Urban has. Also his only goal thread is Kiessling and maybe Vidal. And that says a lot.

I'm not saying my team rocks and there are far better teams out there that are dueling it out in other QF but Urban's? Come on..

+1, not a efficient tactic against top teams. I have to go with Brazzers here.

Sorry. Fapped and stashed it away for later use. I'm not sharing.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I'm gonna vote for Brazzers here. Not 100% sure how Urban got this far with mediocre defenders and Kiessling up front, though I do like the middle of their pitch with Vidal/Ozil/Busquets, it is not enough. KDB is not yet proven either. Weak team for the knockout stages.

 

[Filipower]

I like Brazzers's team and Urban's tactic is a bit weird, so adult video website football team ftw!

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

None of Badstuber, Bonucci or Boateng are particularly remarkable defenders (though none are bad) and certainly not good enough to play three at the back, even with the mighty Busquets in front of them.

 

[Back Door Skip]

FC Brazzers goes through to the semifinals.
