-Very standard formation I know; what kind of formation would you suggest?
- Strongest defence?
- Any suggestions?

[Dragonfly]

Sully:

Defence - You have a very good, solid defence, but the two CBs are quite aggressive and with a non-lenient referee, both can easily get sent off, or give away penalties. If they can keep their cool, then you'll be fine.

Midfield - It's surprisingly hard to pick a team with 3 good play makers. I would probably swap Deco for Seedorf, because Seedorf is probably more likely to stay ahead of the DMs, and Deco likes to drop deep sometimes to pick up the ball and start an attack.

Barry:

-Very standard formation I know; what kind of formation would you suggest?
I'm not too sure with Dessena, so maybe bring Gourcuff instead?

- Strongest defence?
Yeah. I'm a big fan of Ben-Haim, and Albiol is very good too. Lauren can still do a job, and you can't criticise Kaladze, apart from maybe his pace. With Buffon behind them, you're always safe.

- Any suggestions?
You'll to improve your midfield and forwards considerably if you want to stay clear of relegation next season.

Sullivan
I'm not a huge fan of that formation, admittedly Alves and Pernia will get forward but they will be the only ones to provide width, and against some of the tougher D1 teams you may not want them attacking too much. As Dragonfly suggest Deco and Seedorf could be switched around to more effect. However besides that without a significant change in personnel to have a couple more wide players that looks a decent first eleven.

Barry

-Very standard formation I know; what kind of formation would you suggest?
Gourcuff has not had a great season and Dessena will do the job. Not to stereotype but a Dutch 4-5-1/4-3-3 system could would nicely.

- Strongest defence?
Kaladze is an excellent choice as he can tuck in to make a back three when Lauren is attacking, he's also going to be a big help for your centre-backs in the air. Ben-Haim and Albiol are also very good, with Lauren being given license to support the right hand attack.

- Any suggestions?
Dragonfly's suggestion that you midfield and Forwards lack quality surprises me. Rosina is an excellent player that can beat any full back, giving them a great deal of problems down the left. Edu and Assuncao are both solid with good passing, and Dessena is a decent player. Your strikers, are lacking something with Adebayor, as a first choice, works hard but doesn't finish enough moves. I'm sure you'll do enough back in Division 2 this season, haven't you and HP swapped teams back?

[Dragonfly]

Isn't Barry in D1?

[Original?]

Isn't Barry in D1?

He was last season, but I thought he was swapping teams with HP.

[Dragonfly]

Well, if this team is in D2, then it's good enough to do well.

[Sully]

Sorry lads but I have another question for you. Will Ronaldo work wekk on his own? We all know he is a lazy sod but would it be better if I gave him a partner up top?

[-Rafa-]

Put Larsson up front and give me Raul :ninja:

[Calzone]

-Very standard formation I know; what kind of formation would you suggest?
Not sure, I would say the one you have.
- Strongest defence?
I am a fan of Arne Friedrich so maybe get him in the squad.
- Any suggestions?
Gourcuff is someone I would suggest you get in the squad somewhere.


Sully

Formation is ok. Good midfield. May lack width, but it could work.:)
