Who thinks who is shaping up as having the best team at the moment?

 

[Pumbi]

Pumbi's.

 

[AG]

SM9's or Vettel's.

I like Vettel's because he has a good diversity of players.

[SebastianVettel]

Liking your team Godzke.

 

[ShearMagic9]

-----------------GK -------------------
Ivanovic ----- CB - Mertesacker -- Cole
--------Mascherano -- Inler ------------
Navas ---------Modric ---------- Young
----------------Drogba----------------

 

[Godzke]

Liking your team Godzke.

Ta. I've taken a Wenger approach and opted for youth wherever possible.

BL on not getting Luiz. Imo he is the next Pique. Same skills but a better dribbler and more versatile. Would be a good choice as LB as well.

When Ronaldo gets inevitable injured, I can push Bale forward, bring in a CB and play Luiz on the left.

-----------------GK -------------------
Ivanovic ----- CB - Mertesacker -- Cole
--------Mascherano -- Inler ------------
Navas ---------Modric ---------- Young
----------------Drogba----------------

Nice. 4-2-3-1 a popular formation. Ivanovic is a CB for Serbia isn't he? Considering moving him centrally?

 

[ShearMagic9]

I'm debating whether or not to.

When it gets to my pick I'll have a look at who is around.

 

[Godzke]

So my team is done

Lloris
Azpili, Pique, Luiz, Bale
De Rossi Song
Pastore, Hamsik, Ronaldo
Neymar​

 

[Jessica Watson]

My team is best.

I have Torres.

 

[Jessica Watson]

--------------------------------???--------------------------------
Sergio Ramos --- Mamadou Sakho --- Vincent Kompany --- Taye Taiwo
Simone Pepe --- Steven Gerrard -------- Ever Banega ------- Robinho
-----------------Fernando Torres---------Edin Dzeko--------------

 

[cesc fabregas]

I have too say I am a bit disappointed that everyone has gone for such defensive line-ups, it being a fantasy draft and all. I was even considering having 3 at the back at one point.

 

[DB10]

but if FC is going to sim it through FM, your team would get killed defensively without a proper structure.

if we were picking like that I'd line up with a 2-2-6.

 

[ShearMagic9]

You can have 3 at the back if you want Cesc. I purposely suggested an FM sim so that people remembered defenders.

That makes the draft a bit more challenging and funner in my opinion. I'm planning on drafting the weapons that will allow me to play a 4-5-1, a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 depending on the game/whether I need to win or a draw will be good enough.

... and while we can chose the preferred settings (ie. formation, starting XI, attacking/defensive philosophies, etc.) it would be the assistant manager we pick that would essentially manage the team ingame.

 

[SebastianVettel]

I think we should explain the teams as well at some point - and why we've gone the way we have.

For example - I've picked my team to play 4-3-3 (3 central midfielders, 3 forwards) with the attacking full backs to provide the width, with a left footed and right footed defensive midfielder to cover each side when the full backs push forward.

Agree completely. For the mean time, I think everyone should try and make a visual copy of their side.

Subsequently, I present to you my Starting Eleven.

Maybe do that privately. If you tell me that's your gameplan then I'll counter strategise.

Strategy: counter-attacking
Tempo: high
Width: wide (exploit space created by fullbacks over-committing0
Passing: direct

Re-position / re-pick players so that wide inside forwards are changed to natural wingers to provide additional cover down the wings. Change the role of the striker to suit.

etc. etc.

 

[Benno_900]

How's everyone structuring their squad (in terms of positions)? I'm thinking ...

Goalkeepers: 2
Right Backs: 2
Left Backs: 2
Centre Backs: 4
Defensive Midfielders: 2
Attacking/Centre Midfielders: 4
Wide Midfielders: 4
Strikers: 5
