90OVR
Michels' 1988 Netherlands. Gullit as captain, Van Basten as the finish, Rijkaard as the screen — the one Dutch side that actually lifted the thing.
Cohesion sits at 95 — high on purpose. Famous XIs usually get that bump.

On the pitch
Attack 94 is the loud number. Possession sits at 62, not a religion. Pressing 80, so turnovers are supposed to happen high up.
