About those starting elevens:

Rafa, Edu is more of a support striker so he should be pushed on in a 4-1-3-2 type formation. Possibly bring back Vagner Love too and play 4-1-4-1, and switch Salihamidzic and Zairi too.

Martin, those midfielders would be better utilised in a 4-4-2. Besides that, it doesn't look too bad, everyone is where they should be.

As for who would win the match, Martin would win because his players are slightly better.

hmmm...i think i got the 2 Edu's mixed up :shocking:

Yossi any chance of PM'ing that formation you sugguested to me?

[Preki-USA]

Rafa, you need a left winger, not kewell tho :)

and you could use a target man up top, both fabiano and vagner love play similar games

Martin
thats a week backline imo compared to what ive seen, bouma is ur best cb
Vogel is a man back there at the back of the midfield and a great choice, ur midfield does look very nice, you could improve on Emerton tho
-this wouldn't be bad tho either for a midfield
----Vogel---Parker-----
Emre--------------Hleb-

you could use some pace up top aswell

Rafa:
I agree with what others have said, you could do with snapping up a new left winger before the window closes tomorrow. If you can't, perhaps put Edu there. I prefer Salihamidzic on the right wing, but Zairi is better, so Hasan can be good backup. I like the front pairing of Vagner Love and Luis Fabiano, that's one of the most dangerous i've seen in D2. Do you have any central midfielders other than Sergio and Diop? If not, pair those 2 together. The defence is nice, good young attacking fullbacks in Rafinha and Clichy, and Robert Kovac is a solid, experienced defender. Maybe replace Ricardo with Shovkovskiy, who's an excellent keeper and been in very good form for Ukraine.

Martin:
With the form Boumsong is in, try to avoud using him until you really have to. He's a good defender, so i'm sure in time he'll pick up form and remind everyone what he can do. With the diamond midfield you're using there, I think you should take Emerton out and bring Hleb in.

If you want to keep the four you're using, switch to 442 like Yossi said. Like Rafa, you have a very good frontline, one of the best in D2.
