    There's no balance in that team. If your going 3 at the back you need either wing backs or a more defensive minded midfielder then what you have there


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,289 ✭✭✭parker kent


    ................Neuer

    Lahm...Vidic...Carvalho...Coentrão

    .......Schweinsteiger----Xavi
    .................Iniesta

    Messi.........................Ronaldo
    .................Villa

    And some honourable mentions for: Casillas, Sneijder, Van Der Vaart, Pique, Evra, Busquets, Fabregas, Eto'o, Tevez. And a few others who I was too lazy to type!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,950 ✭✭✭Pinturicchio


    Buffon

    Lahm Vidic Chiellini Cole

    Xavi Essien Iniesta

    Ronaldo Messi Villa


    Subs

    Basically the same as the other teams too just with some different players/formations.

    Sneijder

    Ronaldo
    Messi

    very surprised gerrard hasnt made it into any teams here,hes a class player and im a man utd fan:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Cause it's my team and not necessarily the best...

    Casillas

    Alves
    Kompany
    Vidic
    Cole

    Fabregas
    Xavi

    Messi
    Silva
    Ronaldo

    Tevez


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,235 ✭✭✭✭flahavaj



    Casillas

    Lahm (Alves)----Vidic----Ferdinand--Cole

    Busquets

    Xavi
    (Iniesta) Schwein

    Ronaldo
    Messi

    Tevez

    People will scoff at Ferdinand, but there's a major shortage of great defenders around at the moment. Him and Vidic is the perfect pairing and United invariably concede far nore and generally defend far worse when he'snot in the team. He's more inportant than Vidic really.

    Edit: Didn't se the three per club rule so Lahm is in for Alves and Schweinsteiger in for Iniesta.

    I'm sorry Mr.Mourinho, but its my team and as per my original post

    "Make the XI with whatever formation , players being your favourites, currently inform , no need to explain why " ...I didn't feel the need to make the most tactical team.


    Suprised to see Tevez made the Striker for 2 seperate teams

    So? He can still criticise your selection. That team would be destroyed. Regardless of the players ability.

    50 goals in 70 club games in one of the big leagues for a team not challenging for the top honour.

    Why would he not be in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero



    Casillas

    Maicon
    Kompany
    Vidic
    Cole

    Fabregas
    Modric

    Messi
    Xavi
    Bale

    Villa

    Casillas

    Maicon Vidic Pique Cole

    Busquets

    Xavi Iniesta

    Messi

    Villa

    I haven't stuck to the ''3 per team'' rule, but the above is certainly the best 11 players in world football IMO.

    It was hard to pick out a top class striker thats head and shoulders above everyone else at the moment. Tevez made it because he's been the most consistent really and his workrate would complement the likes of Ronaldo nicely.

    Feel a bit dirty all the same though. He'll probably want out of my team next week.:pac:

    So essentially its a list of your 11 favourite players regardless of position? Your team reminds me of a lot of my Championship Manager teams, 15 strikers in the squad and no left backs

    Darren Bent boasts a similar record for teams that had far fewer resources.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,522 ✭✭✭dor83



    Julio Cesar

    Maicon
    Pique
    Vidic
    Cole

    Essien
    Xavi

    Messi
    Sneijder
    Ronaldo

    Cavani

    Neuer

    Lahm----Puyol----Vidic----Cole

    Schweinsteiger

    Xavi
    Iniesta

    Ronaldo
    Messi

    Gomez

    I could probably replace some of the above and make a better XI but I think the team above has good balance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    I'd have shuffled my team Higuain were he not injured


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


                   Casilas
    
    Maicon - Vidic - Carvalho - Evra
    
                     Pirlo
                Xavi - Iniesta
    
          Messi - Villa - Ronaldo

    Neuer. Adler hasn't been great this season.

    Walter Zenga

    Javier Zanetti-Paul McGrath-Franco Baresi-Bixente Lizarazu

    Xavi Hernandez-Frank Rijkaard-Fernando Redondo

    John Barnes-Gabriel Batistuta-Lionel Messi

    I'd probably swap Walter Zenga with Lev Yashin and drop Messi for Stanley Matthews, but otherwise I agree with you. Both are dead but I have special Zombie powers.

    Why are so many people picking Essien when the OP says it's based on current form? His very poor form by his usual standards is just one of the few reasons Chelsea are off the pace. Cracking player, but in form? Not a chance.

    The OP didn't say this was based on form, he said to pick for whatever reason, and then gave currently on form as one of a few reasons to pick a players, including a player being a favourite player. Essien isn't one of my favourite players, but I picked him because I think he is the best of the best in that position.

    The OP said "Make the XI with whatever formation , players being your favourites, currently inform , no need to explain why" - Maybe I'm reading it wrong but that to me seems like you can use any formation you want, with your favourite, in-form players and you don't have to include and explanations with your post, just a formation.

    How can anybody leave Van Persie out? The most on-form player in the the world at the moment.

    essien is one of my favourite players. form is temporary class is permanent

    It certainly is.

    But when "currently in form" is listed as one of the criteria for selection, that particularly philosophy isn't relevant.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,305 ✭✭✭DOC09UNAM

    And how do you work that one out?

    You might not be reading it wrong but you're definitely reading it with a different interpretation to me anyway.
