1.FC Köln Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Ricardo Zamora · Frank De Boer · Henning Berg · Cafu · Gareth Bale · Arie Haan · Didier Deschamps · Pele · Stanley Matthews · John Barnes · Michael Owen

The important part about this team is that it will play very similarly to Jurgen Klopp's current Dortmund side with Cafu & Bale very advanced, they are Brazilian laterals, not traditional full-backs.

The key difference between Dortmund & this side is the extra freedom that it can make a natural change to 3 at the back with Arie Haan dropping back if a side is on top or we feel better off that way.

That is also the reason for having Colin Bell & Sunday Oliseh as that can add freedom to move formations around or push Pele forward if we feel we need a more complete striker up there.

Having Maxwell means we can easily move Bale into a more advanced/central position if required & Hartson can give us a Target Man option which I'm sure Matthews would love to pick out if needed.
