[Original?]

Questions
1. Is this my strongest team?

Just about yes, no changes would drastically improve it, the chocie between some of your starters and subs is personal preference.

2. Proto or Landreau?
Either, probably Landreau

3. My defence good?

It's solid enough for Division 3.

4. Could my midfield be improved?

Yes, all the way across, but it's not bad.

Questions:

1) Delpierre or Alvarez?
Not sure, trust other people.

2) Barry or Moretti?
Not sure, trust other people.

3) Wilhelmsson or Benayoun?
Both are good, yet Benayoun would probably be my first choice.

4) Any other suggestions?
You've built a solid team, it's looking good it's just those few tweaks that you already know about that are needed.

[Yossi]

Rafa:

- Govou for Modric, maybe Kewell would get more votes than Ogbuke as well.
- Landreau.
- Good enough for D3 I reckon.
- Probably a decent central midfielder. Motta for £5m?
- Nope.

Dragonfly:

- I know fuck all about Delpierre.
- Tough one. Moretti is more suited to left back so probably him.
- Benayoun.
- We'd get a better idea if you post your subs.

1. If this my strongest team?
While I was very impressed by Modric when we played Zagreb last year, I don't think he's recognisable. Should probably use Govou instead. Maybe replace Ogbuke with Kewell.

2. Proto or Landreau?
Landreau. Proto is very promising, but Landreau is already a very good keeper.

3. My defence good?
I'm not a Bonera fan, but Meira is quite underrated. Use Yobo instead of Bonera. Full backs are pretty good. So yeah, on the whole.

4. Could my midfield be improved?
See Question 1.

5. Any other suggestions?
Where did Aissati go? I here very good things about him.

---

1) Delpierre or Alvarez?
Haven't seen much of either, but I here very good things about Delpierre, so I guess I'd go with him.

2) Barry or Moretti?
I quite like Barry. Know little about Moretti.

3) Wilhelmsson or Benayoun?
Tough call. Both good players. I'd probably go for Wilhelmsson, but you're good either way.

4) Any other suggestions?
Not really. Really good looking team. You should be very much in the running for promotion.

[Top Gun]

1. If this my strongest team?
Pretty much, if Kewell can get back to his best then he should come in on the left wing for me.
2. Proto or Landreau?
Landreau
3. My defence good?
Very Good for D3.
4. Could my midfield be improved?
Yes but there is some very good players who could improve or get back to their best and get into the midfield.
5. Any other suggestions?

1) Delpierre or Alvarez?
Delpierre for me.
2) Barry or Moretti?
Barry.
3) Wilhelmsson or Benayoun?
Wilhelmsson.
4) Any other suggestions?
Well personally I think that is your best starting eleven so you should stick with that.

[Dragonfly]

2) Barry or Moretti?
I quite like Barry. Know little about Moretti.

That question is now irrelevant. I've sold Barry. I'm not too familiar with Moretti either, to be honest, but he's quite a regular for Valencia. I only got him because I needed a left-back and he plays regularly for one of Europe's biggest teams.

[Scarface]

1. If this my strongest team?

I don't think so. I've only ever known Ogbuke to play on the right, other than up-front, but he may do a job there. In any case, Kewell is probably a better option, as he's widely known, and if he rediscovers some form, will be a good asset. Obviously your new signing Alfonso Alves should be starting, probably rather than Pazzini. Yepes over Bonera too.

2. Proto or Landreau?

Both very capable keepers, but i'd give the edge to Landreau.

3. My defence good?

Yes, particularly for Division 3, but i'd replace Bonera with Yepes.

4. Could my midfield be improved?

Kewell for Ogbuke, but maybe a change of formation could benefit you. I like Elano Blumer, so fitting him alongside Bodmer and Diop in a 4-3-1-2 with the excellent Luka Modric in a playmaking role could be very good indeed.

5. Any other suggestions?

Not really, you've done a great job rebuilding the team, and at the moment look on course to have a great shot of going straight back up to Division 2.


1) Delpierre or Alvarez?

Delpierre

2) Barry or Moretti?

Moretti

3) Wilhelmsson or Benayoun?

Benayoun

4) Any other suggestions?

I would use Kevin Nolan alongside Senna to make the midfield more aggressive when against tough midfield opposition. Other than that, very good side which is capable of gaining promotion, as things stand.
