[Rambo]

I'm going for a draw aswell.

[Nedy]

Good luck Billy.

[Charlie: 9]

I think Minof would win this one, in a close encounter. But it would be a good match, I just prefer his team and formation to that of Nedys.

[Billy Minof]

Good luck Billy.

You too mate. :cool:

[Scarface]

Another close one, and I'll have to go with another draw, here.

I don't think an extra man in the centre of midfield was needed, Nedy. If one of them was sacrificed for an attacker, such as Quaresma, Claudio Pizarro or David Villa, you'd have had a better chance of pinching the win.

Minof, you've got a lot of talent in your team there, but I definitely think you should switch to the formation you used in the Cup, which gives you a much better balance...and maybe give Stilian Petrov a game, as he seems to be performing well for Villa.

Anyway, draw here. 1-1/2-2.

[Billy Minof]

James, I forgot to change my formation but I am happy how my team is doing so far this week.... Thanks. ;)

I'm going for a draw. Minof's team is extremely top heavy which is a real problem for him. Dacourt won't see much of the ball when surrounded by Mascherano and Pedretti. That said, Nedy's defence isn't totally convincing, so I'd expect Minof's forwards to keep him afloat. Nedy's attack looks good, and will have a cracking battle against Minof's good looking defence.

Minof's unbalanced midfield is what stops him winning this game. Nedy has a much better balance, and should stay in the game because of it.

1-1/2-2.
