15.14 - Just Fontaine - France - Striker
Fontaine holds the record for most goals scored in a single FIFA World Cup finals tournament, with 13 in 1958. He has also scored the fourth most goals for any player in the World Cup finals overall,
Fontaine began his amateur career at USM Casablanca, where he played from 1950 to 1953. Nice recruited him in 1953, and he went on to score 44 goals in three seasons for the club. In 1956, he moved on to Stade de Reims where he teamed up with Raymond Kopa. Kopa went to Real Madrid in 1958 and Fontaine scored 121 goals in six seasons at the Stade de Reims. In total, Fontaine scored 165 goals in 200 matches in the Ligue 1, and twice won the championship; in 1958 and 1960. He also took part in the team that got to the 1958–59 European Cup final against Real Madrid, being that season's top scorer with 10 goals.
Wearing the blue shirt of France, Fontaine's statistics are even more impressive. On his debut with the team on 17 December 1953, Fontaine scored a hat trick as France defeated Luxembourg 8–0. In seven years, he scored 30 goals in 21 matches for the national team. However, he will best be remembered for his 1958 FIFA World Cup performance, where he scored 13 goals in just six matches—a feat which included putting four past the defending champions West Germany. It was also the highest number of goals ever scored by one player at a single World Cup tournament – a record which still stands today.[3] This tally secured him the Golden Boot for that tournament.[4] And as of 2014, he is still the fourth best scorer in FIFA World Cup History.

Matt Busby - Scotland
Sir Alexander Matthew "Matt" Busby, CBE, KCSG (26 May 1909 – 20 January 1994) was a Scottish football player and manager, who managed Manchester United between 1945 and 1969 and again for the second half of the 1970–71 season. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time.[1][2] His managerial records and longevity at the helm of Manchester United are surpassed only by Sir Alex Ferguson.
Before going into management, Busby was a player for two of Manchester United's greatest rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool. During his time at City, Busby played in two FA Cup Finals, winning one of them. After his playing career was interrupted by the Second World War, Busby was offered the job of assistant coach at Liverpool, but they were unwilling to give him the control over the first team that he wanted. As a result, he took the vacant manager's job at Manchester United instead, where he built the famous Busby Babes team. In a total of 25 years with the club, he won 13 trophies.[3]
Bonus points for inspiring Calypso music to be written, must have been doing something right...

Another player who fits my philosophy of embracing the beautiful game. He will compete with Gianfranco Zola for one of the two forward positions alongside Zlatan. A mega-steal.
[SIZE=11.5pt]15.15 Teofilo Cubillas, Forward/Attacking Midfielder, Peru & Porto/Alianzo Lima/Fort Lauderdale Strikers[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11.5pt]Teofilo Cubillas[/SIZE] has been called ‘the Pele of Peru’, and in fact, was once named by Pele himself as his ‘successor’ as the best in the World. Cubillas was one of the most dominant players in world football in the 1970’s and is one of only two players who scored 5 goals at two different World Cups (Miroslav Klose is the other, though Cubillas accomplished the feat in only ten games). His Trivela free kick vs Scotland is still considered one of the best in the history of the World Cup
In 1972, at the height of Brazilian dominance, Cubillas was named South American player of the year. Three years later, he led Peru to its only South American Championship in the common era, where he was voted the Copa America's best player. His picture perfect free kick in the semifinal vs Brazil carried them to the 1975 final, where they defeated Colombia.
Cubillas was praised for his technique and has been called “quick, liked to run at defenses, had excellent control and had a powerful shot”. At the age of 30, he joined Pele, Beckenbauer, Best and many others as he moved to NASL. Some great highlights of him in the US here on an ABC telecast between the Fort Lauderdale Strikers and the Tampa Bay Rowdies in front of 20K.

Need a disciplined Center Back to challenge Sol Campbell, and this guy was the heir to Beckenbauer’s throne at Bayern. One of the most skilled defenders of his era, the only reason he is not ‘ranked’ higher is Bayern’s lack of European success in the 1980’s. But his domestic and international record are second to none. His highlights from the CB position are sublime .
16.2 Klaus Augenthaler, Center Back, West Germany & Captain of Bayern Munich
7X Bundesliga Champion with Bayern
1990 World Cup Champion with West Germany
Named part of the All Time Bayern Munich XI (alongside Beckenbauer) in 2005

His 13 goals in a WC Final is one of the most unassailable records in sport. Even if FIFA expands the tournament to 64 teams, it's unlikely that anybody will ever approach the mark.

Haven't had a chance to really analyze rosters, but I can say jonessed has made some real solid picks...Pele notwithstanding.
Don't know how I will fare, but I get the feeling I'm a little weaker in the back line than a lot of teams, but I did draft a lot of offense-first types.

16.3 Dunga - CDM - Brazil
"Dunga is a former Brazilian footballer and a World Champion for Brazil in the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the current head coach of Brazil. Along with Xavi, he is one of only two men to have played in a World Cup, Olympic Games, Confederations Cup and continental championship final.
As a player, Dunga was a strong, ball-winning defensive midfielder with good technique, tactical versatility and an ability to read the game well. He was also capable of contributing creatively and offensively to his teams; he usually positioned himself in front of the defence, which allowed him to break down the opposing team's plays, and start attacking plays once he won back possession. Dunga was also known for his powerful striking ability from distance, and his vision and passing range as a playmaker; he often played long balls to forwards using the outside of his right foot. Dunga was seen as an atypical Brazilian footballer, who was more similar to European midfielders in terms of his composed, tenacious and physical style of play. Although he lacked the refined quality of traditional Brazilian midfielders in the mold of Zico, he stood out for his leadership, work-rate and his determination throughout his career.
Dunga played the anchor role in midfield extremely effectively. Many other players in this position lunged into tackles and put themselves about, but Dunga rarely went to ground to make a tackle, instead using his anticipation and timing.
In 1994, he often served as the captain of the team. Dunga scored the third penalty kick in the finals against Italy. He assumed the captain role for the next four years until the 1998 FIFA World Cup."
