Here I bring you one of the most unique team in the newest WCCF, that is, Hightowers FC !
What is this? This team, literally, consists of hightowers from all available cards that WCCF had released. That doesn't mean I put every goalkeepers (because many of them are 2 metres high) in striker, midfield or defender position. They are the hightowers from every position, so the formation you're going to see is realistic and useable in WCCF game. They are based on their points and their heights. So, without further of due, this is Hightowers FC!
I use an unorthodox 3-2-2-1-2 formation for this team, because of some reasons :
1. All of the hightowers from DF position are playing centerback. So, ideally, 3 at the back is the most realistic formation in modern football
2. There's no winger available to use. Socrates (192 cm) is actually an AMF or SS, but he is versatile and can play in any midfield position. But, he is left the only winger that can be used, so using wingers isn't an option here
3. I actually wanted 3 up front, but they are all woking as target men, so 3 strikers are not ideal. Hence, I put an AMF behind 2 strikers upfront. Kanu is actually a forward, but during his time in Arsenal, he often played AMF, so that's why Kanu is there
Here's the starting lineup (and their height) :
FW 0708 Nikola ZIGIC - 2.02 m
FW 0708 Peter CROUCH - 2.02 m
FW 0203 Nwankwo KANU - 1.97 m
MF 0708 YAYA TOURE - 1.91 m
MF 0203 SOCRATES - 1.92 m
MF 1415 Nemanja MATIC - 1.94 m
MF 0405 Patrick VIEIRA - 1.92 m
DF 1314 Per MERTESACKER - 1.99 m
DF 1213 Joel MATIP - 1.98 m
DF 1112 Daniel VAN BUYTEN - 1.97 m
GK 0708 Zejko KALAC - 2.02 m
And the subs. I'm going 2 FW, 2 MF and 1 DF. That's the ideal subs selection for WCCF game
FW 0708 Luca TONI - 1.96 m
FW 0910 Zlatan IBRAHIMOVIC - 1.95 m
MF 1011 Abou DIABY - 1.92 m
MF 1314 Simon ROLFES - 1.91 m
DF 0910 Rio FERDINAND - 1.96 m
To sum this up : Long ball won't work against these guys, solid defense, scary midfield and powerful forwards. 3 at the back could be dangerous for any team using it, but 3 hightowers at the back should be a challenge for the opposing team. Midfielders supported by Matic and Vieira as defensive midfield brings terror around the pitch, Yaya should be playing defensive but Vieira has better defense than him so I put Yaya in CAM instead. Kanu and Socrates as creative midfielders, bringing crosses (maybe?) for the 2 guys waiting at the box like a boss, 2 metres duo Zigic and Crouch
That's it for the Hightowers FC. Recomended for those who like to experiment with WCCF cards, and the team is decent enough and fun enough to play with. Not bad for a try!
Cheers.
