Gareth Barry, nice! Underrated player

 

[RacingPhoton]

My team strengths - Pace among forwards and wingers. Drogba, Martinelli and Ljungberg can run riot in front of Silva's creativity. With Robertson and Azpilicueta overlapping, it will give nightmare for any defenders. The CB pairing is one of the strongest in the league.

My team weakness - If we look purely at the goal count perspective, the numbers are not that great compated to the rest of the teams. But I am sure that the pace of the trio combined with Silva's through balls will more than make up for it.

His team's strength - Salah and Anelka will give a hard battle when they play in front of Fabregas. I will probably have Robertson hold back a bit and help with the defence.

His team's weakness - I do believe that his right wing is there for the taking and Sissoko isn't all that great. I would have to make Freddie and Gary exploit that.

 

[Rex Stone]

Trippier & Salah will mean Robertson is going to get pinned back and Martinelli will have to stay deep as well.

Playing Gallas as a third CB means we’ve got numbers in hand for any counter attack. Also as a unit I think they’ll be able to handle Drogba.

Midfield battle might be tough to watch but Sissoko and Milner are far more dynamic than Barry - McAllister.

If we can control possession I’d fancy my front four to unlock any defence and use the remaining midfielders to press and mop up any time we lose the ball.

I’d have Sissoko move wide to cover Trippier in possession because he won’t have guys really getting up field in the middle apart from Silva.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

People to stop ruining their teams with unsavoury old Leeds players...

I want to say @RacingPhoton wins this but that Martinelli pick has me fuming NGL. I need some time to calm down...

Why couldn't you just make your formation normal instead of putting players in weird places?

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Think Bezos has too much in attack, Nasri/Cesc feeding Anelka/Salah is utterly disgusting despite the plodder midfield and CBs.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Sissoko?

 

[Macho]

@BigPoppaPump is actually killing me. Coming like Simon Cowell.

Genuinely disgusted at some of these teams, gonna make me have to vote for A__G every round

I want to vote for RacingPhoton but I really can't respect the Martinelli pick.

I think his midfield is collectively the best tbf, which gets a lot of mileage on A-M.

 

[Rex Stone]

Sissoko?

It was a last round pick and I needed a guy who could get about.

Was really good for a while with Newcastle. 80 caps for a good France team etc.

That's when you vote on personal feelings.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Can't really say I ever watched Gary McAllister but judging by his face he must have been mediocre.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Can't lie I think Sissoko is better than this guy:

Spoiler

 

[Trilly]

Sissoko?

Bruh @Rex Bezos front 4 is so ridiculously well balanced, with top class playmakers and players elite at finding space. Would be jokes if that team tried to play it out from the back though, would make Maguire look like prime Xavi.

@RacingPhoton is like a scuffed used pirate ship with a diamond encrusted figurehead up front.
