All of your comments and opinions are welcome:D

By the way, I fucked up on the PS formation so don't be too critical. Its badly set out and I won't be using it for the league.

P.S. Tevez is meant to be in an attacking midfield role. ;)

[Rangers_Fureva]

Ronaldo - I like your formation here, once again all positions suit your players perfectly. I like your back four although i don't know too much about Santos. Your midfield layout is very good, Viera and King in dmf is a good combination, however i feel the weak link in your midfield is Nonda. I'm not too sure about him to be honest, not sure if he could deliver the sort of crosses RVN would be looking for, Giggs however would be great down the wing setting up RVN. Good team, good formation.

Mat - It's all crap! Nah only joking mate.:tongue: I'm not too sure about your formation if i'm being honest, you kinda buggered it up a bit. but going by what you said i'll give it a shot. Your defence i like, back fours for both teams are good here, no problems there. Apart from SWP your midfield is exellent. I singling out SWP because he isn't getting a game for Chelsea and when he does, from what i'v seen he doesn't really live up to expectations and perform. I take it Emerson's supposed to be in the dmf role ? If so exelltn choice there. Your selected strikeforce here is brutal, it could cause many defences problems. Take that bacon buddy!

Overall i think Ronaldo may edge it, i reckon his midfield is slightly better than Mat's.

Fair comments.

I thought we were assuming SWP is playing for London Lions, therefore he is getting a game. :cool: And its hard to judge him at Chelsea, but I think hes definatly got the ability/potential to be up there.

[Ronaldo 9]

I'd like to see comments on:

- Nonda playing as RM, is there any better subtitution for becks out of Jenas and Totti if I change the formation?

- What about Samuel/Cordoba's partnership? Would King be a better partner to either of'em?

- Nistelrooy alone up there, Would Raul help him more and what would be the ideal formation in the midfield?

Thank you in advance for your comments and opinions.

EDIT: Now that Raul's gone, How would Moreintes do with RvN up there? And what's the best four back I can use with having Salgado and Thuram in my team now? and how would Albelda do in the midfield with Patrick there?

[Magpie4eva]

Ronaldo, you have Cordoba on your bench and on the field.

Well Ronaldo edges it. At first I thought it was The G but then I changed my mind.

Ronaldo, Put Beckham/Raul instead of Nonda and try and find a place for Zidane.

G - Theres not much to improve on your team. Try and get someone else instead of SWP.

:mellow: Great advice, if your voting against me you should be able to come up with better than that.

I know I'm stupid. Although I cant think of anything more to say. I will be close.

[Scarface]

The G for me, he has better personnel in most areas. Although the midfield is not a good idea (you'd be better off using Appiah alongside Emerson for a better balance) I don't feel Ronaldo has the players to really take advantage. Vieira and King might be able to get the better of Emerson, but I don't think it would be completely one-sided as Nedved can come into central areas and Lucio often moves forward. Ayala and Lucio could mark van Nistelrooy and Totti and Zanetti and Jankulovski shouldn't have too much trouble against Giggs and Nonda.
Although, SWP is in poor form for Chelsea, that doesn't make him a bad player and I could see him causing Alex de Santos some problems. Cordoba and Samuel would be a fine, no-nonsense partnership, however Tevez, Gilardino, Makaay and Nedved will be hard to stop, and I think they would score here. It'd be close, but the G to take it by a single goal.

[Nedy]

I go to The G because has better defense, bettere midfield and a great couple: Makaay-Gilardino......excellent....

[-Rafa-]

Ronaldo for me.

Ronaldo: Good defense nice and solid couldn't see to many runs through it. Not a bad midfield only worry is King in DMF, i feel that its not his best postition, i might switch King with ethier Zidane or Becks, i like Viera in DMF he'll be a rock for you, should stop alot of oppoent attacks and Totti in AMF? CMF? doesn't matter he'll make his runs forward and create oppitunites. Forward line is pretty good, i like Nonda and Giggs on the wings, they can deilver deadly crosses for VN.

The G: Not a bad defence i feel that RB, and the two CB's are solid, but i don't know about Jankulovski i feel that Evra is a better LB, and with Jankulovski in LB i feel that left side will be a bit vunerable. Good midfield, but maybe move Tevev to the left wing and move Nedved into the centre with Emerson as Nedved i feel that will be able to play better in the middle and create scoring oppitunites. Forwards not bad, maybe move Tevez to the forward line and take out Makaay and put Salihamidzic on the left wing.

Ronaldo would just win i think

[Keyser Soze]

The G: but i don't know about Jankulovski i feel that Evra is a better LB, and with Jankulovski in LB i feel that left side will be a bit vunerable.

Janks, the weak link? :mellow: I disagree and I think many people will agree with me, judging on all the bids I've rejected from him.

why when anyone suggests something you always defend it? its what i think so live with it

Because I'm stating my opinion, I'm entitled to as are you.

Ronaldo: Great team, and a very good formation. You got Canizares at the back, who is Mr. Athletic, Cordoba and Samuel looks like a good formation, could be one fine partnership man, as proven at Inter. Miguel is a good RB, i give you that, im not too sure on Alex Santos though. He may be the problem. You can have Cordoba as your left back, and bring on Thuram as the centre back to fill the hole. It will look solid bro. Midfield full of stars, i doubt Nonda can do much there. Isnt he a striker? Anyway, Becks on the right, and your midfield will look great. Nistelrooy all alone up there is not bad too, and Giggs knows him very well and will provide good crosses for RvN to score, so too will Becks, he can deliver excellent crosses to anyone. He is definitely a great asset to all your strikers.

The G: Strong defense, really, but i agree with Rafa, that Evra will be much better as your left back. Putting Evra on IMO, will be more effective and is my option if i had your team. But not to say Jankulovski is bad, he is a great versatile guy, but i just prefer Evra man. Evra. Emerson pulls all your string in midfield together, so thats good. And you have Nedved too, so the Emerson - Nedved connection will do you well and will be hard to stop as proven at Juve. I cant comment too much on SWP, but he is definitely talented, and is not the worsest midfielder, but comparing him to the other ones you have, could be the wrong piece of the puzzle. But SWP can cause Miguel problems. But if you dont like SWP and the comments other has been given about him, i suggest Hasan on that department, he is also versatile and quick and is known to be the 'silent' 'absolutely fanastic contributing player' who no-one usually thinks of when Bayern beats other big clubs in the Champions League. Oh, and you got two great replacements for Emerson. Appiah can do one hell of a job too, and looks like a solid man, good replacement. The second one would be Ambrosini, he is a tireless midfielder as you describe him, so he is also a player you should think about. Makaay-Gilardino is one of the best strike partnership's in the FL around here. Gilardino-Shevchenko are excellent together, so Makaay will do. And Makaay-Pizarro are a threat, so definitely Makaay-Gilardino works for me. Unless you feel like getting Inzaghi, :tongue:. Anyway, Maka-Gilardino can work wonders.

Overall, im going for Ronaldo, just edges it thanks to his midfielders. The G, i think you will win, if you put one or two changes, you know your team, im sure you would know who to replace for SWP. But if Ronaldo also goes by the comments, this wil be a very close game. Serisouly, one of the finest games i have seen in the FL.

[Ronaldo 9]

Man I appreciate all the stuff you posted there, you're a great voter and I'll be looking forward to seeing every vote posted by you.

[Barry]

Im with The G on this one, but it was close. I believe G has more attacking force, although Totti-Ruud-Giggs-Nonda are a force to be reckoned with.
