This thread has been a joy to read and I can't wait for the last installments. Based on the player profiles I'm guessing that you are playing with Sporting, Pedro Porro, Pedro Goncalves and Marcus Edwards

Great article @crusadertsarabout an iconic team, nobody plays football better than Brazil! What I love in particular about the 1970s team is that the 5 numbers 10s are similar in their technical brilliance but all different enough to complete each other and give diversity to the Brazil attack. A lot is made about the death of the number 10 position but I feel as though the Brazilian quintet represent different roles classic number 10s can play on a football pitch. Jairzinho is like a modern inside forward, Tostao a False 9, Rivelino a wide midfielder. I would have thought that Gerson would have been nailed on for a playmaker role considering his ball retention and passing skills. Did you ever consider making him a playmaker instead of the Segundo Volante role

I'd say that the "Creator" role should be an Advanced Playmaker on Attack instead of being a Roaming Playmaker. I think that an AP-Attack would mimic the aggressive line breaking passes better as I'd imagine this role to be the player with the highest chances created, key passes and assists in the team rather than a player that is controlling the game for the team I'd also add False 9 to the FM role for "Roamer"

I'd say dribbling, composure and agility for midfielders like Modric, Verratti and De Jong that beat the press with feints and turns
