Squad Explanation
I would have liked to take Khodadad Azizi, but spaces were limited. Maksim Shatskikh was one of the most underrated strikers playing in Europe. If he represented Russia or Ukraine, he would have secured a big move to a bigger team in Western Europe.
Starting lineup
Formation I: 4-1-3-2
This is a very offensive formation with the best players on the field.
Formation II: 4-2-1-3
This formation would be more balanced. I played an extra midfielder. I pushed Mahdavikia to the midfield and added another rightback.
