London City F.C Vol. 2016

[James Bond]

I was randomly looking for an old thread and I found this one from a few years ago that was pretty fun so I thought we should do it again.

https://arsenal-mania.com/forum/threads/london-city-f-c.26802/

I thought this would make for an interesting thread. As we all know, there are A LOT of teams in London. (Needless to say, Arsenal are the best). But I was thinking, suppose London all formed into one great club. What would your Starting XI and 7 subs be?

Interested to see everyone else's teams. We'll compare them as we go a long .

My 2016 line up
--------------Lloris
Bellerin-Mustafi-Kos-Azpilicueta
---------Xhaka-Kante
-------------Özil
---Payet--Sanchez--Hazard

Bench: Cazorla, Kane, Coquelin, William, Cech, Cresswell, Flamini*

*Özil likely misses him

Midfield was tough to pick as imo the jury is still out on how well Xhaka fits in England due to his lack of mobility, but with Kante I see the perfect partner to allow Granit to flourish from deep as a DLP.

Everyone post their London XI.

Credit to @Taylor Gang Gunners for the idea.

Oh man, I remember creating that thread.

It had a snowball effect. Someone made a Manchester FC thread, and someone else made a Red vs. Blue thread.

My London team now would be;

Lloris
Bellerin Koscielny Alderweireld Azpilicueta
Ramsey Kante
Alexis Özil Hazard
Kane​

 

[Nyctophobia]

Courtois
Bellerin Koscielny Terry Azpilicueta
Kanté
Özil Xhaka
Alexis --------------------------- Hazard
Kane
​

Bench: Giroud, Willian, Fàbregas, Coquelin, Monreal, Mustafi, Cech.

Why are people not putting Costa in the starting XI or bench?

****... I forgot about him for some reason .

Kane still gets in though, with his record against London clubs it'd be harsh not to have him in the London XI.

 

[Furious]

Ospina
Bellerin Mus Kos Rose
Kante Santi
Payet Özil Hazard
Alexis​

Costa misses out because the above offensive would be just too sexy.

Don't rate any of the keepers, and Ospina fits in with the rest of the midgets.

Courtois
Bellerin Luiz Koscielny Azpilicueta
Kante - Matic
Payet - Özil - Sanchez
