Hey msioux75, Jorge Mendonça from Náutico and Zé Roberto from Coritiba were attacking mids (ponta de lança - spearheads - Second strikers), something more like Zico or Pelé. Did you improvised them based on the low quality of CFs??
Hi Maniac, I see this in the Placar lists: - Ze Roberto; 72, 74 labeled as Ponta de Lança. For Brasilerao 1973 as CF, and Braulio as PL. So, I take CF as his secondary role. My next option for B-team (1st half 1970s) was Leivinha, also Ponta de Lança (1st) / Centreforward (2nd). The next in line, was Darío Maravilha. - Jorge Mendonça; 74 labeled as CF for Placar, and Paraguaio as Ponta Lança in Nautico. In next seasons in Botafogo, I have Mendonça as PL. Btw, in my ideal teams, when difference between players is minimal, I decided any of them could get the place. For example, Ze Carlos (7 points) in B-team, meanwhile Piazza (6) in A-team, being Ze Carlos a bit higher rated than Piazza. In season's team, something similar. Also taking players in his secondary role to improve line ups.
