Emerich Jenei·4-4-2

85OVR
Jenei's Steaua. Duckadam saving four penalties in Seville, Belodedici as the sweeper, Hagi as the spark.
Chemistry 92, overall 85. Neither number is a FIFA card from a shop.
If you only remember one name from this 1985/86 side it is probably Gheorghe Hagi. The engine also has to live with Helmuth Duckadam every week.

The idea
The goalkeeper rating (88) is doing more work than the outfield glamour. Possession 48. This is not a keep-ball souvenir. Counter-attack 84: the point is the break, not the concert.
