Make a team to win CL

[ederson]

I spent most of the last 3 days on the bed with fever and i`ve watched 10ths of football games. Real, MU, Werder, Juve ....

I started thinking who is better, who i`d like in my team and eventually this turned into a quest for ederson`s 11

Only two  restrictions
Active players and formation 442
11 + 5 subs

Not all stars , not the best but a win now team


Keeper : Casillias

Def: S. Ramos Vivic Puyol  Lam

Mid: Messi Gerrard Timoshtsouk SP???(Zenith) Roben

Att:        Zlatan  Kaka



Subs Lisandro Lopez, Diego, Cristiano , Essien, Del Piero

[Who]

I'm going with an all Premiership team, and playing a 4-3-3

GK -- Cech
Defenders -- Bosingwa -- Vidic -- Rio -- Cole
Midfielders -- Mascherano -- Lampard -- Essien
Strikers -- Ronaldo -- Torres -- Rooney

That final central midfielder caused me some problems. It came down to Essien, Fabregas or Gerrard. I choose Essien because I like his engine, I think he can get all over the pitch and create some havoc, which I thought would be more useful than another playmaker.

[ederson]

Cesc and Boswingua were tha last to cut 

But your team is invalid.

Haha, okay, let me try again. Is a flat 4-4-2 with wingers? Or can I use a diamond?

If it's a diamond I'll just switch Ronaldo down to midfield, and place him at the head of the diamond and have Mascherano protecting the back four.

If it needs to be a flat 4-4-2, I'll bring Ronaldo back to midfield ... and swap out Essien for a left winger of some kind. Sticking with an All-Premiership team, I'll select Joe Cole.

Five subs -- Carvalho -- Gerrard -- Drogba -- Arshavin -- Essien/Cole

[EDWARDO]

Yakubu up front... Cahill, Fellaini, Arteta, Pienaar and Cahill in the midfield. Hibbert, Jagielka, Lescott and Baines in the back. Tim Howard between the sticks. Keep them healthy and its a done deal.

EDWARDO something tells me you are everton fan ... 

[celticmaestro]

Casillas

Ramos-Vidic-Rio-Lahm

Ronaldo-Kaka-Ribery-Messi

Eto'o-Ibrahimovic

Subs: Evra, Puyol, Essien, Berbatov, Klose

EDIT - With all this attacking talent, and the best four defenders in their position in the world, this team would win anything. If it's going wrong, we can call on one of the best box-to-box midfielders in Michael Essien.

Tough omissions were Ballack, Gerrard, Bosingwa, Rooney

A) I'm a Newcastle guy and have to have someone on there even though they all suck. Shay Given is an outstanding keeper who was constantly under fire with the Magpies. The Newcastle defense was a DISASTER this year in front of Shay. He's the ONLY reason they got any points at all this entire campaign. If he had an actual team in front of him, with 10 guys who could play, he would be given so much more respect then he has now. I'll take Shay all day every day no questions asked and put him up on a comparable team with any goalie in the world. He's not the best, but at the same time there isn't enough of a difference to make me reconsider, especially considering my rooting interest.

B)Dani Alves of Barcelona was my sub... he gets into the attack well but doesn't lose much in the back, plus he's versatile.
