Modric/Makelele/Gerrard against Henderson and a guy who done nothing outside of 2 years at Arsenal. Need I say more?

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Kane vs Carvalho/Campbell/Schmeichel LOL
Koscielny/Desailly vs Sheringham/Cole LOL
James vs Ginola LOL
Winterburn vs Silva LOL

I'll sit deep, counter and win 4-0. Not even a contest.

 

[Macho]

There's been some mismatches, but this one is a goodun.

 

[Rex Stone]

I hate @A__G wing options but rest of that team actually looks like it’ll work.

Stevie G and Kane fighting over penalties would be box office btw.

 

[Makingtrax]

@A_G ‘s midfield is too strong. Providing Sturridge can play 90mins, Kane should wrap this up.

Just wanted to say I’ve always agreed with squad cost theory. Can’t believe idiots on here disputed that.

 

[Macho]

A_G midfield is f*cked, but DJ's wingplay is superior. Can't call it mehn really can't.

 

[Oxeki]

Looks like @A__G will breeze through this round. But it's not yet over.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

You guys looking at Modric not realising he did the square root of **** all in England, and Kane vs Campbell/Carvalho/Schmeichel? How does A_G even score? I'd legit just sit Petit on Gerrard and have Henderson chase Modric around, can't see how Nani/Sturridge creates anything for Kane.

Nani is going to have TAA dutty wining on the edge of his own box:

9 goals and 19 assists when they won the PL in 10/11, then another 8 goals and 12 assists the following season.

Problem is he’s got three midfielders to your two.

I think you needed more defensive wide men with two strikers especially if you’ve got Trent flying up the pitch all the time.

If Kane’s dropping deep looking to play Sturridge in behind like he does with Son I don’t see how you counter that.

 

[A_G]

You guys looking at Modric not realising he did the square root of **** all in England,

Best player in a Sp**s side that qualified for the CL in 09/10, alongside Palacios/Jenas/Huddlestone as the other CM options. This was before Bale blew up as well.

How does A_G even score? I'd legit just sit Petit on Gerrard and have Henderson chase Modric around, can't see how Nani/Sturridge creates anything for Kane.

Nani had double digits in G/A in four of the five seasons before an injury hit 12/13. He’ll be fine creating, not to mention Kane dropping off bringing Sturridge into play and Gerrard making late runs into the box.

I can't, in good conscience (or even bad conscience) advocate for a team that has Koscielny and Nani. @DJ_Markstar has got this. Reece James as well una, not sure he has enough of a body of work (yet). I aint down with picking current young uns for an all time draft.

Edit: Guess the Reece James pick is balance out with TAA

Silva is one of the most complete RWFs in the draft, I picked him as an inverted winger because of the perfect chemistry with an attacking right back, his ability to not only come inside but also cover back and link the play.

Think his midfield doesn't trouble mine too much honestly. Makelele would mark the AM I don't have so is effectively a DLP or would perhaps mark Sheringham which leaves the midfield disjointed. Gerrard will be adequately covered by Petit.

Yeah I do really like your team fwiw. I think it’s really well rounded. Just don’t know if this is a good match up for it. I think you’d have done a few other teams in the tournament unfortunately.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

I'm 100% sure I'd win this game, it was one of the easy wins I'd identified when I looked at the squads. Guys got Nigel Martyn in nets protected by Koscielny Cole would get a hat-trick by half time.

 

[A_G]

I can't, in good conscience (or even bad conscience) advocate for a team that has Koscielny

What do you have against Kos?

 

[db10_therza]

What do you have against Kos?

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

When I look at these line-ups I start to wonder if some of these guys are still alive
