HP for me.......impresionant team mate!

[Highway Penguin]

I'd like thoughts on my current line-up.

Seems as though many like this above others, so please, tell me your thoughts. :)

Thanks Nedy.

I think you could play a front line like this:

------Aimar---------------------------Robinho--------
----------------------Ronaldinho----------------------
---------------Eto'o----------------------------------

Robinho isn't really strong and used to aggressive challenges. I think if he's given a 'free' role on the left wing, like Barca's given Ronaldinho, he would contribute more.

Ronaldinho to play behind predator Eto'o :cool:

[pier69]

i think that teekay's team has better full backs and wingers , they will always do damage in the wing

[Ronaldo 9]

teekay for me.. he could get this one.

Best formation you've used so far in my opinion.

I think Hp would take this, Teekay has a strong defence, but with 3 attacking midfielders and just Makelele holding, Ronaldinho could do some damage, and with Robinho and Eto'o up-front they are bound to put some chances away. Serginho is probably the weakness that Teekay's team could take advantage of, but Ljungberg isn't the best dribbler and Maldini can come across to cover so HP's defence should be able to cope.

[Rangers_Fureva]

HP for me, brilliant attacking options. Don't really like Teekays formation.

[Yossi]

I believe HP would win this one, because his team looks a bit sharper up front, more creative, and his defence is also a bit stronger than Teekay's.

But I feel that formation is a little bit narrow- although your players do seem suited to that formation. But I think you should try to play a little bit wider, possibly like this:

----------------------------------------
----------Gravesen---Marquez----------
----------------------------------------
----Robinho-----Aimar-----Ronaldinho----
----------------------------------------
----------------Eto'o-------------------

Your defence is also a little lop-sided, because I feel Serginho would attack more than Puyol and it would be a little unbalanced. I think you should put Maldini at left back and Boumsong at centre-back, and drop Serginho.

[Highway Penguin]

I've tried that formation Yossi. :)

I love how everyone thinks something else would be better. :laugh:

Thanks for the compliment James.

Figo- Ronnie is playing right behind Eto'o.... ?
------Aimar-------------------Ronaldinho----------
-------------------------------^^^^^-----------
----------------Robinho--------Eto'o--------------

Anyways....

[Nturtle]

I like Hp's front lines...but for me the creativity isn't there in mid-field (discounting Ronaldinho playing up field) - Gravesen is the weaker link for me. Teekay's relying on 4 great poachers of the game...but will they work well together!??! Only Deco to supply perhaps...thus I'm for HP by a whisker.

[Highway Penguin]

Aimar... ? Robinho...? Eto'o....? :) I think they are all creative. :)

[Teekay]

I think Hp would take this, Teekay has a strong defence, but with 3 attacking midfielders

Fyi, Deco is a cmf not an omf.
:angry:

[Nturtle]

Aimar... ? Robinho...? Eto'o....? :) I think they are all creative. :)

Alright...that might be a bit harsh saying those three are not creative...I WAS being relative matey! HA! I just rate Deco as the sort of mid-field Bergkamp. Aimar might make the grade too...admittedly...just that I saw you place him the wing a bit... ;)

[Scarface]

Fyi, Deco is a cmf not an omf.
:angry:

But his attack-minded. He won't be great defensively in a battle with Gravesen and Marquez.

P.S. Happy Birthday :cool:

[Figо10]

Figo- Ronnie is playing right behind Eto'o.... ?
Yeah, why not, after all he's usually called a 'forward', and in his first season at the Nou Camp he was scoring goals regularly as well.

[Highway Penguin]

Nah, you misunderstood... :)

I ment that he is in my formation, that's why the "?" was there, because I was confused on why you'd said that. ;)

[Highway Penguin]

2-2 Good match Teekay.

[Figо10]
