--Nonda--------Jenas----------Alex Santos-
----------Moreintes--Kluivert---------------

Subs :Cordoba, Miguel, Giggs.


HP asks about his players off the bench and formations they may use, and I'd like to know if there's any better formation for my players there.

[Nedy]

I think that HP gets this one......because he has better defense and the midfield is excellent with the fast Petrov and two greats centre midfields like Demichelis and De la Pena.....nice B team HP....

[Itachi-san]

I think Ronnie will win this one at a close call. HP's B team is superb compared to other second string team.

[Top Gun]

I would go for Ronnie on this one.

I like both of these formations as they work really well with the players which you have got.

I went for Ronnie as I feel his team are very strong through the middle and I like the partnership of Kluivert and Morientes up front.

Toldo > Baia
Serginho > Phil Neville
Friedrich > Geremi
Perea > King
Samuel > Cris
Petrov > Alex santos
Demichelis > Pablo Garcia
De La Pena > Jenas
Nonda = Marchionni
Kuijt > Morientes
Kluivert = Baiano

HP for me, he is slightly better in almost every position.

HP

He has a far better B team than Ronaldo. His defence is good and with Demichelis sitting back it would be even stronger. De La Pena along with the wingers could be very effective, they should be able to set up the strikers no problem as i don't think Ronaldo's defence is all that great. Ronaldo's team i'm not too fond of to be honest. I suppose the players you have out suit the formation your playing.

[Highway Penguin]

What'd everyone think of Marchionni? I didn't see many comments on him...

Ronaldo - You've got a good B team. I think you could improve on the right wing and possibly at left back as well. I haven't seen much of Phil Neville this season, but I do know that he's been playing in the midfield as a holding mid, right? If you can find a left back maybe slotting Phil there would do better...? Pablo G. isn't getting much playing time and isn't in the best form. Good stuff though bro. :)

[Scarface]

Marco Marchionni, the Parma guy? Very good player, i'm sure he'd do a good job for you on the right wing.

[Highway Penguin]

Yup, thanks for the reply James. :)
