INFO:

Hello! I’d like to comment on a few things regarding this team.

Regarding the starting eleven: Félix Orte played as a forward during his time at Banfield, but more specifically as a right winger. I think you could replace either Raffo or Albella, move Orte to the right wing, and put Garrafa Sánchez as an attacking midfielder. It’s quite surprising that Garrafa wasn’t in the starting lineup from the beginning, considering he is the club’s greatest idol alongside Julio César Falcioni. This is something we’ve already talked about in other teams, but I wanted to point out that Luis Ángel Bagnato was actually a center-back, not a left-back (the 1951 Banfield runner-up team played in a 2-3-5 formation). However, in this case, I think it makes sense to leave him as a left-back since the closest alternative would be Marcelo Bustamante, and there’s a huge quality gap between the two. I also believe Zárate’s inclusion over Silvera on the left wing could be reconsidered if we base it purely on numbers.

I would also adjust the set-piece takers. Garrafa has to be the primary taker, no doubt about it. The rest of the players weren’t particularly good at free kicks, except maybe Horacio García (I’m sure he is well remembered in Córdoba ). Traditionally, corners are taken by the winger on each side, so the right-side corners would be taken by Orte and the left-side ones by Zárate/Silvera. However, I wouldn’t mind if Garrafa Sánchez took them, as he did so frequently. Penalties should unquestionably be taken by Garrafa, and I believe the captain should be Eliseo Mouriño, with Sanguinetti and Bagnato as second and third captains, respectively.

Finally, I wanted to mention Nicolás Bertolo, who has recently entered Banfield’s Top 10 all-time appearances list. I think he deserves a spot in the reserve midfielders.

Hello, saying this as a Banfield fan, originally from the city, I think you could remove Emanuel Coronel from Reserves, he had some good months, but in general terms the fan does not appreciate him as much. I also think that James should be in the first team, here he is considered one of the... 3 top idols of the institution, as is Tagliafico (who even has a mural in the stadium), although Bagnato is key to the history of Taladro, Tagliafico as a left back is considered the best. You could also add the englishmen Charles Douglas Moffatt, Edward Potter and the argentine captain James Doods Watson to Reserves, decisive in the history of the club. The team is great, very faithful to the history of the club
