Combined XI Thread

[Zidane98]

Thought it would be good to start a combined XI Thread with all the arguments about them that clogs up match threads.

I'll kick it off with the Daily Fail Liverpool / Chelsea combined XI (can't link because posting on phone)


--------------Courtois-----------


Clyne--------Cahill------Sakho---Azcipuleta

-----------------Matic-------Henderson--------

----Willian-----------Coutinho----------Hazard

------------------------Benteke------------------

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Clyne really had to work hard for that right full back spot

 

[Cooldude]

Azcipuleta

This is great

 

[Zidane98]

This is great

I don't own a computer atm gimme a break

 

[chef]

You could always just put down Dave

 

[Magma]

well, where to from here

 

[Cruyff14]

I think a combined City/Arsenal team is very interesting.

At full strength -

Cech
Zaba Kos Kompany Monreal
Yaya Coq?
Sanchez Ozil Silva
Kun
​

Does Ozil warrant a place? Should De Bruyne be there? Fernandinho over Coq? Sterling on the left and Silva at10?

 

[apollo_creed]

Fernandinho over Coq for me definitely. Wouldnt have Kompany there either. Take your pick Mangala or Otamendi.

That would be a great side to watch. Probably struggle to combine two in the epl to better that, although I guess always going to seem that way given form.

 

[Zidane98]

Very difficult to pick between De Bruyne & Ozil.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Lol. Kompany is the best CB in the comp.

 

[Magma]

not a problem with that team other than dinho over coq. would have hartdog too but that's incredibly close and just personal bias. de bruyne goes close but who do you drop?

would also have bellerin at right back honestly.

 

[Cooldude]

De Bruyne's great, I'd have him in even before Ozil, and I like Ozil

 

[pieman123]

Lol. Kompany is the best CB in the comp.

2nd best, Mike Smalling no1

 

[Cruyff14]

I did my team based on everyone being fit/top form.

Bellerin and Zaba was a tough call.

 

[moomba]

Silva, Sanchez, Aguero, Ozil, KDB etc in the same squad. Why are we bothering to name defensive players in our XI's? Or keepers for that matter?

-------------------------Cech------------

------------Kompany------Kosc--------------
-------------------Fernadinho------------------

KDB--------Yaya------Silva-------Ozil--------

-----------Sterling-----Aguero---Sanchez------

Bit light on defensive cover down the wings but should be good for 6-8 goals per match

 

[Zidane98]

Combined Arsenal / Spurs XI with the NLD coming up:

(4-2-3-1)

---------------Lloris------------

Bellerin----Kosc----Vertonghen----Monreal

-----------Coquelin-----Ramsey----

---Sanchez-----Eriksen-------Ozil

--------------Kane-------------

** Not necessarily the best on form but best overall.
** Lloris & Cech very difficult to separate - went with Lloris because he's been consistently performing for a longer period of time.
** Giroud unlucky to miss out - performing better than Kane at the moment but ultimately IMO I believe Kane to be the better striker.

 

[Cruyff14]

Cazorla well ahead of Ramsey.

Rest seems about right.

Though Cech/Lloris is either or. And I don't think he has been more consistent than Cech. Considering Cech has been around a lot longer and better for longer.

 

[ossie_21]

Decided to go with 2 neutral teams, Arsenal-Chelsea in current form:

.............Cech

Bellerin..Gabriel..Koscielny..Monreal

...............Coquelin

Walcott....Ozil....Cazorla....Sanchez

............Giroud

 

[chef]

And yet they couldn't beat us

One small adjustment for you

 

[elhadjihenry]

You did have an extra player dressed in black

 

[Benno_900]

Sagna over both.

And Santi over Coq. No need for DM.

There's a different excuse every team we beat you
