Formation XI
Explanation of Formation
The team strategy is central
offensive assault. Yashin stands as a final wall. Defensive line is balance
with two full-backs Maldini and Thuram and a partnership of central
defenders. Maldini and Thuram would support the wing area when Maradona and
Cruyff moves inside. Baresi is primarily a sweeper behind Moore but the role
could be switched under the compulsory situation. Beckenbauer is a defensive
holding midfielder, is responsible for stop the opponents between the defensive
and midfield area and is also an important player to create the game from the
deep-lying midfield zone. Di Stefano is based on three-quarter area to support the
central area of the front-line and is essentially assigned a defensive task in
the midfield. Maradona and Cruyff plays as a semi-side attacking midfielder and
has an independent role to beat opponents by personal technique and also
support the front area. Pele and Messi operates the game between deep-lying
forward from central to semi-side area or to top zone depend on rhythm of the
offensive game.
Discussion
The team selection is based on prime performance of players. Some players ranked higher in total performance in PHF might not be first selected if their peak is lower. In all-time World XI, Thuram's peak during the late 1990s particularly as a right-back in 1998 World Cup is considered higher peak than Berti Vogts as well as Jose Leandro Andrade in his peak performed unbeatable dribbling with great defensive quality. Although Elias Figuroahas a higher peak than Bobby Moore in domestic football, his international career is too limited and not take him to be a starter.

ReplyDeleteFacchetti in, Thuram out
ReplyDeleteFigueroa in, Scirea out
Zidane in, Matthews out
Puskas in, Messi out
Facchetti is a potential great right-back player as his right foot was effectively usable but I need the existed performance to rate player.
DeleteFigueroa's skill is argued not inferior to Scirea but he was lack of international success.
I need right-winger to substitute Garrincha and Matthews is the second best right-winger ever.
In all-time ranking, I still rate Puskas ahead of Messi but the criteria is just different to all-time squad which is set a peak performance in higher proportion.

You're misunderstood my mention. I means he is lack of success in international competition not international individual awards.
DeleteThe individual titles is that difenciam players, Figueroa stood out even playing in a weak team like Chile. For me, better than Gaetano Scirea, classify it among the top three defenders in history alongside Franz Beckembauer and Bob Moore. However, it is my opinion.
DeleteNow I just remove Garrincha from All-Time XI and is replaced by Messi. It is not only refer to Messi's better place in all-time ranking but also tactical awareness. As I set Pele as a top striker, the second forward line consists of three players all should support scoring enough and crossing from the side area is less often (Cruyff and Maradona is qualified but Garrincha was not much great in scoring). As a result of Garrincha's bench, Matthews is removed and replaced by Puskas.
ReplyDeleteJose Leandro Andrade replaced Thuram in a reserved right-back position as Thuram played as Right-Back in a shorter period than many others. Although J.L.Andrade is not a natural defender, he could be fit to wing-back position applied from wing-half position. C.Alberto and Vogts are also a great choices but the all-time ranking see J.L.Andrade is much higher than the two defenders.
ReplyDeleteyou need to add first half 2010s
ReplyDeleteScope of the first half 2010s is between the 2010 - 2011 and the 2014 - 2015 season which means I'll update all involved list at the end of the season.
DeleteThank you for answering, i was interested: are you by any chance interested in nba basketball?
DeleteFor me, Basketball is entertained to watch and if soccer sports is unavailable in this planet, I'd have stick to watch it. On the other hand, soccer is by far more passionate game than Basketball for me.
DeleteDear, Readers
ReplyDeleteI decide to replace Scirea by Figueroa while Scirea is still rated in higher place in all-time best defenders list because selection is considered base on tactic within squad. Baresi and Beckenbauer both are sweeper and I need one more center-back to reserve Bobby Moore like Figueroa who is also a better defensive player than Scirea.
Yeah!! I think football is an entertaining game and hot topic of discussion among many people. I know every fan has their favorite football players. Jerry Rice and Barry Sanders are my best football player. They are among greatest players in NFL history.
ReplyDeletebest football player ever
Have you thought about Carlos Alberto as a starter? His total performance maybe was slightly lower than Djalma Santos but in his peak I think he's clearly better.
ReplyDeleteDjalma is seen to tougher and more reliable in defensive task although he has a lower creative force in the edge of the field. I rate him slightly inferior to Carlos Alberto in the peak but consistency is far superior.
DeleteDjalma is seen to tougher and more reliable in defensive task although he has a lower creative force in the edge of the field. I rate him slightly inferior to Carlos Alberto in the peak but consistency is far superior.
DeleteOk, I understand. This list is based only in total performance or you considered peak performance also?
DeletePeak performance in selection to squad is given more important than positional ranking but consistency qualification is still a main factor.
DeleteWhat about Bernard Vukas in 50's !?
DeleteJulien Daruí (France) years 40.
ReplyDeleteDo you intend to suggest to include him or anything else ?
DeleteYes, for me the Julien Darui was better than Frank Swift, the goalkeeper of the century was chosen by the magazine LÈquipe, goalkeeper century. Although a French magazine, was a title, Frank Swift had no indivudual title I know.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how L'Equipe selected player but it is difficult to believe one of the very shortest keepers ever likes him will perform that great. 168 cm is by far too short to reach the ball in many cases.
DeleteDear, Readers
ReplyDeleteRecently, I have changed the formation graphic and also made some replacement of players in squad as below ;
Jose Balauste replaces Francisco Olazar in the 1910s
Hapgood replaces Simistik in the 1st half 1930s with reformation.
De La Mata replaces Zizinho in the 1st half 1940s
Kopa replaces Puskas in the 2nd Half 1950s with reformation.
Falcao replaces Keegan in the 2nd Half 1970s with reformation.
The formation graphic is also changed in International Legendary Museum.
Of players in the "second" XI, did Garrincha come closest to making the "first" XI, or was another position closer?
ReplyDeleteIf you ask who came closest, it would be interpreted to the narrowest gap between a starter and his supposed reserved player. The answer is Matthaeus who is lower than the first team player in DM posiiton (Beckenbauer) only 2.1 point in scorecard.
DeleteRonaldo Cristiano Ronaldo
ReplyDeleteDiego Maradona Zinedine Zidane Roberto Baggio Johan Cruyff
Ruud Krol Daniel Passarella Fabio Cannavaro Roberto Carlos
Manuel Neuer
For your 1st half of the 2010's, I think you've done on the whole a great job, but I would argue for either Andrea Pirlo or Bastien Schweinsteiger over Frank Ribery. Ribery has contributed nothing on international level, while Schweinsteiger has won a world cup, and marked Messi out of the final. At club level, Andrea Pirlo revitalised a very average Juventus and took them to 4 consecutive titles. The others also enjoyed domestic success, but were far less influential. And its also worth remembering that Ribery is a winger, while the other two are actually central midfielders.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part I agree on the final few teams (the late 90s onwards is where most of my knowledge is), however, I'd say anybody from Pirlo, Scholes or Lampard could edge out Gerrard in the second half of 2000s team. When it comes from Gerrard vs Lampard, for example, Lampard beats Gerrard on goals, assists, goal involvement and win %. Scholes and Pirlo were not the same type of midfielder as Gerrard, but their passing ability, footballing brains and simple class put them above Gerrard, in my opinion of course.
ReplyDeleteLampard is more productive than Gerrard is only an advantage. Gerrard was more dynamic and diverse and is definitely more influential than Lampard. Importantly Pirlo and Scholes would not be compatible to Xavi in the tactic provision and media rating/awards support Gerrard has a higher performance profile than the two.
DeleteWell,
ReplyDeleteYou can make a 3-5-2 and replace Djalma Santos with Figueroa and put Baresi in the second team. My team is:
Yashin; Figueroa, Moore and Maldini; Beckenbauer, Zidane, Cruyff and Maradona; Pelé; Messi and Garrincha.
Figueroa is one of the best defenders in all time, can't be at the second team.
He did not prove in international competition enough not likes all others in the all-time XI.
DeleteNelson Luis Da Costa thank you for pointing out Elias Figueroa's accomplishment through out his entire not just at a South American level but from the very beginning to the very end of his career. To me Figueroa might as well the most under-rated player in the history of Fifa Superstars because of his lack of international triumph. It is travesty that Figueroa never played in the UEFA Champions League because boy would he had caused havoc to the likes of Cruyff and Muller just to say a couple.
ReplyDeleteGK Neuer

Well, I think Dom Elias Figueroa is one of the Top 5 best defenders ever and deserves first team. He played for a weak team like Chile, but in his peak performance was too much better than Gaetano Scirea and Passarella (and in my opinion better than Baresi too). My team is:
ReplyDeleteGK: Yashin
CB: Maldini
CB: Moore
CB: Figueroa
SW/DM: Beckenbauer
Playmaking: Zidane
Playmaking: Maradona
Deep Lying Forward: Pelé
Second ST:Cruyff
Second ST: Di Stéfano
ST: Messi
Manager: Rinus Michels
That is always debatable. At least Figueroa is stronger than Baresi but the tactical defensive ability, vision and intelligence is seen to be inferior.
DeleteDani Alves is deserved to be in the best squad of first half 2010s and have you considered other cases yet?
ReplyDeleteI already set the formation of first half 2010s, I'd prefer Sergio Ramos as a right-back although he primarily performed as center-back. The formation is flexible to include all possibilities to fulfill its high potential.
DeleteDo you consider Xavi Hernandez better than Pirlo in First Half 2010's?
ReplyDeleteIt's tricky because Xavi's peak was in between the decades (2008/2012). Deffinitely Pirlo had a longer peak (WC winner 2006 and CL finalist in 2015, while Xavi was already on the bench that season for Rakitic).
DeleteI guess on that question It depends were 2010 counts, although I would put Xavi in the 2006/2010 team, not in the 2011/15 team. But even Pirlo could be toghether with Xavi in the 2006/2010 team, maybe instead of Gerrard. I even think Lampard should have been in that team instead of Gerrard...
wow great squad, you forget Zidane, and Cafu, but 90% is correct.
ReplyDeleteI'm not forget. Cafu's ability is clearly inferior to Thuram who is also not included here. Zidane is not named in this squad as Platini and Zico are rated better.
Deletemaybe, Oliver Kahn or Buffon, Zidane, Cafu for one complete team.
ReplyDeleteSergio Ramos? He is very violent
ReplyDeleteDaniel Alves is more technical it was already 4 times for Fifpro
Dani Alves >>>>>>>>>>Sergio Ramos
Before the 80 Football was an amateur
ReplyDeleteThe best players in the history came after that
U can not consider players from the 20s better than professional players
5. 1920s, The Second Half 1940s
6. The Second Half 1930s, The First Half 1940s, The Second Half 1970s, The First Half 2000s
7. The Second Half 1990s
8. The Second Half 2000s
9. The First Half 2010s
This order is wrong
Football has changed it evolved players and old teams NEVER would play today
It is the circumstance prevention even the standard of football is lower than the modern era. Great players with high remarkable level under the circumstance of era is always important. If compare across era directly, history of football would be highly devalued.
DeleteTo tell the truth modern football is boring now with the accent always on defence. Much more entertaining in the past when teams actually tried to win and ENTERTAIN.
DeleteU think players before age 80 would play in today's football?
ReplyDeleteYour honest opinion
No but as I said, it is unfair to compare directly without standard of era consideration.
DeleteI don't fully understand. I agree that players from old era's shouldn't be penalized from playing when they played but i don't understand how can you talk about some supposedly lower competitiveness in this era, and "weak era" and so on. In my opinion players should be judged by how they played when they played.
DeleteI was saying players in the 1980s should not play well enough if they sit the time machine to play in nowadays football since they're not prepare for the extremely physical combat. So I thought it should not compare in this way. In any standard of era, player could play superbly, well, satisfactory or even bad in their own era. For the current era, I think standard of superstars has been lowered but increased for overall.
DeleteI think we can agree that Messi and Ronaldo are more separeted from the rest than, for example Maradona and Platini were from other players in their time. So if standard for superstars is lower but higher overall it should be the other way around.
DeleteMOST OF KALMAN KONRAD OF DEPARTURES ARE THE DECADE 10, PLAYED ONLY 3 STARTING THE NATIONAL TEAM in the 20, 1 IN 1927 AND 2 IN 1928, THE OTHER 10 DEPARTURES OF OCCURRED 1914 1919
ReplyDeleteI liked the site the best football history theme, but some points could have been different, for example in the early 1980s, could have put the sides, Left Back and Right-Back, Leovegildo Junior and Leandro Ferreira highlights Brazilian team of the season along with Zico and Falcao, Brazilian selection that even having not won the World Cup was considered the best team in the world, outside these two sides were holders Flamengo club that dominated the Brail at the time with titles and records considered one of biggest clubs in the history of football in the twentieth century, the Left Back Leovegildo Junior went on to win the best player award for Serie if not mistaken in 1985 and was part of the team of FIFA at the time, but with some even with some disagreements its work is great congratulations
ReplyDeleteLeo Junior has become a strong issue as he was performing in similar level to Cabrini. Unfortunately, Brazil and Flamengo was much less successful than Italy and Juventus internationally. That’s why he was not selected. Leandro was amazing but he appeared for Brazil in too few games.
DeleteConclusion squad has to be updated after the inclusion of Cr7 instead of Best. It's the same for Andrade instead of Thuram.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Zidane can be included. This way we will have 23 men in the squad.
Thanks for notification. Anyway, I’d prefer not to expand to 23 when the 23th player is allowed to be goalkeeper in the real history.
DeleteMaybe Fachetti should be added as left back instead of Nilton Santos in the squad.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I have the feeling that the 2 Santos Djalma and Nilton are a bit overrated in general.
You can see I rate Facchetti better in all-time ranking in both positional and footballer list. However, the squad selection criteria gives more weight in peak performance and Nilton Santos is superior to Facchetti in overall quality.
DeleteI’m sorry for my very late replying. I enter to your link but it now seems to have been disappeared ? could you reestablish it ?
ReplyDeleteAccording to your scores, Alex Ferguson has to be the coach here.
ReplyDeleteThe scores in PHF is implemented in different criteria. Here is given more proportion in international country competition so Rinus Michels make a superior.
DeleteI understand. But, if you gives more weight to peak performance and international country competition, why Thuram isn't in the team instead of Djalma Santos? You put an AA- peak performance to Thuram and a A+ to Djalma. Djalma has 0.4 more points in total performance but both have 80.2 in international country competition and Thuram made an amazing World Cup in 1998.
DeleteYou have a good point as I mentioned the peak is preferable but I think it is less preferable for defensive players that always required consistency. I see Nilton Santos has a strong offensive skill to cite he has a higher peak and the same reason prevent him to take Maldini's place. In summary, the higher peak is allowed to take advantage when the one has much higher peak than one for defensive players. I don't think Thuram made that distance to Djalma Santos.
DeleteOk, I understand your point. But talking about the case Maldini vs Nilton Santos, I don't understand very well. Are you saying that Nilton has a higher peak? I always think that Maldini has a higher peak, you put Maldini higher in your list "The Highest Defender's Peaks of All-Time".
DeleteI means at the any moment of career, Nilton might be claimed to have a higher peak by some who set the significance of offensive ability very high but even so I don't think Nilton Santos could be ahead of Maldini in overall.
DeleteMy friend, Figueroa was chosen on the FIFA World Cup Team 1974 as the best defender above Beckenbauer despite his team Chile, did not pass the first round. Dearman must update this information in the Individual Achievement of Figueroa. The source is FIFA.COM in the article entitled "Figueroa, Chile's defensive commander" http://www.fifa.com/news/y=2012/m=1/news=figueroa-chile-defensive-commander-1573795.html
ReplyDeleteAs I said the awards was conducted unofficially.
DeleteRonaldo is already good enough for the team and if not so at least in the future he will and I think Guardiola's 4-1-4-1(the formation he plays at City now and patented at Bayern) will be the best for inclduing superstars.
ReplyDeleteAnd why don't you play with Matthaus instead of Moore to have higher value in the team?
Yashin-Maldini-Beckenbauer-Moore-Djalma as defencesame as Guardiola
Matthaus same as Fernandinho
CR7 as Nolito
Maradona as David Silva and Cruyff as DeBruyne and Messi as Sterling on the right with Pele being the forward.
Because I don't want to have Beckenbauer as a defensive partnership with Baresi. Both are considered to be libero when Baresi is a must in defence.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Baresi a must instead of Moore?
ReplyDeleteFor 2010 squad, you can go with 4-4-2. With Iniesta and Xavi central midfielders and Robben at the right and Ribery at the left.
ReplyDeleteC.Ronaldo could play well as center-forward but not his best position. That is fit to 4-3-3 formation.
DeleteThat would be the right formation though. Both Cristiano and Messi have played as part of a two men attack, maybe not as pure strickers but as wingers/support forwards.
DeleteThat would be the right formation though. Both Cristiano and Messi have played in two-men attacks, maybe not as pure strickers but still. I don´t recall Ribéry playing as a right MC, and anyway he got his recognition playing in the right wing, you can´t just move him. It´s either CR and Messi as forwards or Ribéry out.
DeleteThank u so much for having such a nice and entertaing stuff for us. I really enjoy your blog and the way you have describe your content.

Messi on the right-wing ? That will extremely reduce his potential.
DeleteNot really because he isn't going to be an outright winger as Lahm will be doing his part getting forward putting in crosses and Messi will be able to cut inside as often as he likes and essentially play in the same areas as he does for Barcelona.... anyway I've had a rethink on my team and decided to replace Zidane and Rijkaard with Best and Matthaus and bring Cruyff to the centre as he is a better tackler than Zidane... Messi stays on the right still... I'll post my team in a minute.

ReplyDeleteA greatest of all time team without Gerd Mueller is a joke!
He is rated in the same class as Ronaldo (Brazil) who performed in higher peak so that'why Muller is second to him in selection.
DeleteIt's hard to decide for the best 11. I would write who can compete for the best 11.
ReplyDeleteGOALKEEPER: Yashin, Zoff, Schmeichel

Figueroa

Is Zoff here in front of Buffon because of higher peak?
ReplyDeleteYes, He is here because of his higher prime performance.
DeleteWhy do you change your mind and now you include Thuram in the team?
ReplyDeleteAs I have been doing skill evaluation project, I have seen Djalma Santos' ability is much below Thuram level. I also wrote details in bigsoccer.com

I'm sure it will be useful for me between 1910s and 1940s selection
DeleteYou have to change the alternatives formations now:
ReplyDelete- In the 4-4-2 and 4-3-3, Thuram in and Djalma Santos out.
- In the 3-5-2, José Leandro Andrade in and Carlos Alberto out.
OK, I have updated.
DeleteNo friend Erico should be featured in the 1930s only in the 1940s, Piola was the best player in the 1938 World Cup and best player in best player italian championship with Mezza in the second half of the 30's.
ReplyDeleteI understand you suggests Erico should be replaced by Piola ?
Deleteyes.
DeleteYou have to change Bobby Moore with Figueroa or Scirea. They are a lot better than Bobby.
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree. It has been in my though for a long time and it is totally fair to rate player by prime regardless of reputation. Let me think over how to establish formation in the best way.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Figueroa because he is a pure central defender and balances a little the quantity of players of South America and Europe. And he is in the same class in positional hall of fame. Scirea is another great option but he is a natural sweeper like Baresi.
DeleteElías Figueroa
ReplyDeletea real football legend, it was about him Beckenbauer, who himself played as God, once said that there is a guy stronger than me.
FIFA football player of the year in the 76th - FIFA's gold ball was not awarded then, but the version itself existed. Many experts are the Chilean are considered the best defender in history.
In the 1974-76 gg. was recognized as the best football player of South America.
I have a plan to watch his footage in some full-matches as a part of skill evaluation project. Then, I will reconsider his place in history.
DeleteBetween 1974 and 1976, Elias Figueroa was recognized as the best player in South America. If we consider that at that time there were many stars, the result of Figueroa is outstanding. South America has always been famous for its great attacking players. Defender to pay attention to himself, it was necessary to show the highest skill and be on the head above colleagues in the role
DeleteWho is L.Hofmann in 1931? Ludwig Hofmann was winger.And I doubt that his career last year was so good
ReplyDeleteLeopold Hofmann
DeleteThanks Naratorn
ReplyDeleteI was wondering..are you sure Beckenbauer deserves to be in the 1977 best formation? He is rated World Class by Kicker, but nevertheless after his Ballon d'Or he finished 7th with Bayern and got knocked out in the quarter finals of the European Cup. Since you already have Hughes at right back, I suggest you take a look at Francesco Morini's performance that year. At 33 years of age, he won both the Serie A and the UEFA CUP as a stopper with Juventus, and according to DBS Calcio he won a rating of 6,62 (very high for a defender who won titles, Baresi only got 6.55 at his highest), higher than Scirea. The fact he's not a well known name outside of Italy shouldn't take anything away from his astonishing performance that year.
ReplyDeleteMorini is interesting but as long as he did not play in international game in 1977, he is ineligible to qualify. May I ask something about your facebook ? May I add you as a friend ?
ReplyDeleteUh sorry Naratorn, I just saw your reply. I already accepted you on facebook, you can write me there if you want.
DeleteWhy is Dixie Dean in the 1933's XI instead in 1932's? He was top scorer of english league in 1931-1932 season.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. I'll reselect.
DeleteJashin
ReplyDeleteCafu F Baresi Beckenbauer Maldini
Cruijff DiStefano Maradona
Garrincha Ronaldo (Bra) Pelè
Figueroa in, Bobby Moore out. Same class in PHF, same skill, but higher peak (AA vs AA-).
ReplyDeleteAll-Time XI is set criteria of NT part in higher weight than PHF.
DeleteHi Naratorn, how are you? I've conducted a study on world football teams (World XI) since 1900. Are you interested in learning about my work? Sincerely, William.
ReplyDeleteSure, please share with me.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the major part of the formation are not balanced starting with the greatest eleven. Most of the time the midfield is not strong enough to get the ball back
ReplyDeleteTo be in synch with your last ranking vogts must replace thuram now
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, in term of greatness, the best balanced eleven o all time would be using Maldini as right back and Beckenbauer in the midfield:
ReplyDeletePele
Cruyff Maradona Messi
Beckenbauer Matthaus
Facchetti Baresi Moore Maldini
Yashin
I'm somewhat confident Facchetti as a right-back should be better as he is fluent in his right-foot.
DeleteI was always told maldini was right footed that's why I did but why now I am wrong and fachetti is better than maldini with his right foot.
DeleteI meant as Maldini is supposed to be right footed he would be better on the right side
DeletePlease update best eleven 2017, 2018, 2019.
ReplyDeleteMoore isn't part of any of the alternative formations. Why is he in the main formation?
ReplyDeleteIs it not more convenient to put Baresi and Beckenbauer as central defenders and Matthaus as a defensive midfielder?
I don't think Beckenbauer and Baresi is a great partnership. Baresi is great at stopper position but it is not his specialization.
DeleteI really like your work and devotion to it. But you should have a major fact: back in the day and for many years the fotlrmation was 2-3-5 ! And slowly changed to 3-4-3. And then the 4-4-2 and 4-4-3 recently. You could post some early decades xi based on the formation football was played on at that time
ReplyDeleteWhat about teams before 1930? Years of Zamora, Samitier, Pesek, Morton, Orth, Andrade, Scarone, Meiklejohn...
ReplyDeleteI establish in yearly basis and each year has no enough international competition to select players.
DeleteBuffon in, Zoff out. Is better than him in skill,peak,international performance and total performance.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Revised.
DeleteI disagree. Zoff is more iconic, especially how he ended his career, oldest player to captain and win the world cup, and that Italy team is more iconic with its Juventus influence -6 players. For club, the Juventus side is revered as one of the best Italian sides of all time, especially playing in a league that at that time was the toughest any league has been in before and since (serie 70s-80s)

ReplyDeleteI have a doubt about your criteria for making "European best XI" and "American best XI". In right back position of the european team, you put Thuram. Vogts has a higher total performance score (1.5 points more), but Thuram has the higher peak. I understand that you choose Thuram because he has the higher peak (I prefer Thuram too). But in the american team, you chose Nilton Santos over Roberto Carlos. They have similar performace score (0.7 points of difference), but Roberto Carlos has a clearly higher peak (AA- vs A+). Also you explain that Nilton has to join the attack constantly in that formation, when Roberto Carlos was clearly better in the offensive skill than Nilton (I prefer R. Carlos too). If I apply your "total performance criteria", Vogts and Nilton have to be in the teams. If I apply your "peak performance criteria" (I prefer this option), Thuram and Roberto Carlos has to be in the teams.
ReplyDeleteI understand this is a flaw of selection. I think it is highly possible that Roberto Carlos' peak could have been overrated. Some of his offensive scenes were attractive and spectacular but more were fail as well. When Nilton Santos is also better defensively. I would not have R.Carlos in higher peak.
DeleteI don't understand really well your english in this case. Are you saying that Nílton Santos has a higher peak than Roberto Carlos?
DeleteActually I did not tell you clearly about the result of peak rating revision. I have revised peak of R.Carlos equal to N.Santos.
DeleteOk. Thanks you very much!

Naratorn, Juanfran and Kimmich are not the best options for the right-back in 2016 and 2018, respectively? Sergio Ramos was not a right-back in those years.
ReplyDeleteWell, if there is no qualified player in specific position in any year, applying player from another position is allowed but that player needs to have potential enough to switch for another position.

Hi I love this thanks for all your hard work in doing this it’s a pleasure to read. Do you think. Messi is the GOAT I myself have always thought Maradona is the GOAT however I’m starting to question this because of messi’s sheer consistency
ReplyDeleteMaybe the world 11 of all time should be updated. Like removing George Best and putting C.Ronaldo somewhere in alternative lineups
ReplyDeleteBest world 11 yashin,vogts,beckenbauer,baresi,maldini,rijkaard,matthaus,messi,garrincha,cristiano Ronaldo,pele. Cr7 gold ball messi silver ball and pele bronze ball.cr7 is the goat.

Has Beckenbauer ever played "defensive holding midfielder" or you just assume he could ?Because from the footage I see he was more actin a box to box with a few playmaking abilities ?
ReplyDeleteHas Di Stefano ever played "box to box defensive" ?
Because from what I see, but maybe it's not enoug, when he switched to midfieled he was more acting as "playmaking box to box offensive".
Both are players that seem to play for the team but my purpose is more to have a balanced team
Box-to-box midfielder is a highly mobilized player with a character of energetic movement and when move forwardm he will act as attacking midfielder role. Beckenbauer is more a creative and technical type.
DeleteDi Stefano in his later career saw him as a commander in central midfielder with a high quality of defense and dynamic motivation to offensive zone.
You request Maradona and Cruyff to play as semi-side midfielder.
ReplyDeleteCruyff may be able to achieve this even I couldn't find any footage with this role but Maradona I have serious doubt.
To say everything, I find the greatest formations rather unbalanced, and a bet is done on the adaptation ability of players.
Moreover you could describe them and say why you think it could work with some clue to convince.
Well, Cruyff is all-round player and frequently switched to both sides area. It is undisputable that Maradona is a left attacker in early of his career and even Zidane could play as left semi-side midfielder. Actuallly no midfielder stay in central area all the time so this is no problem at all.
DeleteFor Zidane why not as he played in left-central-advanced midfield acting as wide-playmaker an important part of his carreer. We may think he could adapt as a playmaker in left-central midfield. But for Cruyff even if he was versatile I see no evidences he could help in defensive duty thanks to stamina. Same thing for Maradona about defensive duty. That's why I think the team would be unbalanced. Well I am note sure Zidane would help enough to balance the team on himself.
DeleteIt would be interesting you describe the strategy for alternative formation too.
ReplyDeleteYour knowledge of football players is legendary. Now about formations.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about cruyff's recommendation of 3-4(diamond)-3. He is talking about it in his book. His player suggestion is yashin, krol becky carlos alberto at the back three, guardiola charlton di stefano maradona at the diamond and keizer garrincha pele the front three. I do not completely agree but who am I to disagree with cruyff. Nevertheless, my peak would be messi and cr7 instead of garrinca and keizer. Cruyff instead of charton and then it becomes tricky. Probably maldini and faccheti instead of krool and carlos alberto, becky will go at dm istead of guardiola and baresi at the back. What say you?
What a coincidence, I was thinking to exactly the same thing as you but for me the team would be :
DeleteYashin
Facchetti Baresi Maldini
Beckenbauer
Matthaus Maradona DiStefano
C.Ronaldo (or Cruyff) Pele Messi
Coach : Cruyff
I may have chosen neeskens also and I was surprised why Cruyff didn't choose him
DeleteFor me :
DeleteYashin (Zoff, Buffon, Neuer)
Facchetti (Cafu, S.Ramos) Beckenbauer (Baresi, Moore) Maldini (R.Carlos, N.Santos)
Matthaus (Rijkaard)
Di Stefano (Iniesta, Didi) B.Charlton (Zidane)
Maradona (Platini, Zico)
Messi (Garrincha) Pelé (Ronaldo, Puskas, G.Muller) Cruyff (C.Ronaldo)
I would suggest a 3223 formation still played with Cruyff's philosophy :
DeleteYashin
Facchetti Beckenbauer Maldini
Matthaus Di Stefano : sharing both regista and half-centre back role
Cruyff Maradona
Messi Pele C.Ronaldo
You can make things even more offensive putting R.Carlos in place of maldini. Not sure, on the other side Cafu would suite better than Facchetti.
Delete2017 team has 10 players. 1 midfielder is missing. I think Eden Hazard
ReplyDeleteHave Maradona ans Cruyff the stamina to support the team in defensive duties. If not and this is what I feel from the few games I saw the team is going to be totally unbalanced.
ReplyDeletePuyol (World Cup 2010, European Cup 2008, Champions Leagues 2006 & 2009) should definitely be in the 2005-2010 team as a CB, probably instead of Vidic, sharing deffense with Terry.
ReplyDeleteSame goes for Piqué (World Cup 2010, European Cup 2012, Champions leagues 2011 & 2015) in the 2010-2015 team. Can't say wether instead of Kompany or Thiago.
I would change Dani Alves instead of Maicon. True that back then Maicon seemed better but i think Alves legacy aged better, being considered one of the greatest right back of this century. Between 2005-2010 Alves won everything with Sevilla and Barcelona (Europe League, Champions, European Supercups, etc).
ReplyDeleteSame for me D.Alves last long especially after his best player title of Copa America
DeleteRonald Koeman has to be in the 1990/95 team. He just HAS to be.
ReplyDeleteI think the same. A little clarification could be interesting.
DeleteWhere the hell is Peter Crouch. He is far better than Messi or Ronaldo and what about Jimmy Greaves ?
ReplyDeleteCrouch LOL
DeleteSchmeichel
ReplyDeleteThuram - Rijkaard - Beckenbauer - Roberto Carlos
Makalele
Cruyff - Maradona - Messi
Ronaldo - Ronaldo
And the team that is NOT in my first 11 might be even better
Buffon
Cafu - Desailly - Pasaerella - Santos
Gerrerd - Matthews
Garincha Henry
Puskas - Pele
Even the third team with Zidane, DI Stefano, Baresi, Zanetti, Davids, Zoff, Zico, Best, Bergomi, Moore and Romario would be invincible
my pick for 2021:
ReplyDeleteCourtois: he is a very very good shot stopper (u can calculate how many times he secured 3 points for Real Madrid) and can pass under pressure well, unlike Donnarumma who only shone for his reflexes in euro but did make many dangerous passes.
Rudiger & SKirnia: both at them has developed a lot this year and are very good at organizing and participating in attacking scheme of the team and also the key players that led to their clubs successes.
Cancelo & Arnord: both have incredible techniques to help in attack and contributeed many goals/assitst meanwhile Alaba and Walker mainly play at centre-back.
Mbappe: he might have a fail EURO but did shine in Nations League and World Cup qualification meanwhile Ronaldo won nothing and failed to led his nation qualify WC through 1st seed. Also i dont think Sterling deserved there since he wasn't the first choice in Pep's squad the whole year and had unsuccesful performance in Champions League campaign. I would put De Bruyne there.
Best XI ever
ReplyDeleteSurprised that Jimmy Johnstone not in there, somewhere

Would you think that Scirea would be a stronger RB than Thuram. Obviously it was not his main position, but from footage he is really skillful from that side, and I'd say probably better than Thuram (obviously the rb position is the weakest point in every all time xi).
ReplyDeleteWell it depends what is the most important for you. Defending abilities seems crucial on this site. But Cafu, D.Alves... or Facchetti used as a RB... may suit fine the team.
DeleteNo Gerd Muller? The greatest striker there's ever been.. You got to be kidding me.. Thuram or Moore don't belong in this team either. Beckenbauer should be moved into his position and Matthaus should be brought into midfield. Moore to bench.
ReplyDeleteSantamaría appears 4 times so should be included in the statistics table
ReplyDeleteThe best ever footballer is LIONEL MESSI. Maybe you've chosen Pele because of his international success. But Leo Messi is something else. He is in the top list of most goals, most assists ,most freekicks, most hattricks, most ballon winner, most golden boot winner, most playmaker winner without being a mid fielder, most MOM awards and many more. Show me a footballer with this kind of records. There is none. That's why he is the most complete footballer and the only G.O.A.T. of football history. And "fourfourtwo.com'' declared that a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteThis is purely my subjective and no doubt biased all-time players ranking , 1. Pele 2. Maradona 3. Messi 4. Di Stefano 5. Beckenbauer 6. Cruyff 7. C.Ronaldo 8. Zidane 9. Puskas 10. Platini.
