Super fun game

[ChipRich]

and who the fuck is Felipe Calcido

A combination of Carlos Salcido (LB) and Felipe Caicedo (ST)

[ChipRich]

                           
Only one to have Rory Delap on the bench too I believe.

Thoughts?

Hes attrocious! can only do 1 thing and cant even run. If you want your team to play that sort of football, you've gone even further down in my estimations.

LOL didn't actually notice the 2 man yoo players but you've got 2 Stoke players,nice effort.

[sweet potata!]

I'm going to critique all teams posted just so everybody gets some feedback.....and hopefully start some arguements.

Camel - I understand RB is a tough position but I think you've leaving yourself exposed with Bardsley. I assume Nasri is playing on the right and that's wasting him a little I feel just to make room for Charlie Adam. Subs look good but feel you might be lacking somebody to change the game in centre midfield.

Maldini - First team looks good but I can't help thinking you've picked Arteta on past reputation rather than this seasons performances. The bench looks a mess. I'm praying the first XI stay fit all season.

ChipRich - 3 CB's at the back who are all used to playing as part of a back 4 seems mad. Don't like the balance of midfield. Think it could get cluttered.

Horneris - You know you're weak points, you pointed them out yourself. The right hand side. I like what you've done with the subs in terms of balance. Clearly come to win games rather than defend leads. An injury/suspension to Young could cause problems.

Sweet Pot - Gone a different way with the right back. Don't hate it don't love it. Attacking wise the team looks good. Bench seems very left side dominated. Can you afford to leave a CB out and take a RM?

That's pages 1&2. Will do more later.

Yea was thinking that aswell that I would have like to get another right sided player in there, with the teams I had available to me to pick from there wasnt much on offer. Albeit Foley from Wolves has played a fair bit on the right if I'm not mistaken

[toddswain]

Lol FMLLLL

[stribling]

Very tough. My weakness is obviously Elokobi at left back, but i was struggling and have you seen the size of him?? I wouldnt like to tell him hes not in any team.

As you can see by the makeshift arrows, i have N'Zogbia bombing down the wing and VDV's been given an attacking free role to link up play and find space behind Tevez's workhorse like style. Essien understands his role to break up there attacks.

I've set my team to hard tackling and pressing the other team on the ball, we will counter attack at pace too.

I've got some big strikers on the bench to come on and capitalise on Nzgobias crosses if at any time we look lost for ideas. I am a bit worried about only having two defenders on the bench, but theyre all pretty hard so expect little to no injuries anyway.

[pleno1]

lol, sorry to spoil you're fun but i don't think anyone on here is stupid enough to bite

?

[pleno1]

Apologies about Salcido. It is indeed Carlos.

Also apologies over Gary Cahill, I wrote it out in 10 minutes before football.

Also I know this might sound biased but I really struggled with Newcastle, at different times I had Tiote, Barton, Enrique, Collocini and Hatem Ben Arfa.

Also the beauty with my team is that I can let Arteta move central and I believe Salcido can bomb on down the left with three big centre halfs sitting back and Tiote mopping up behind.
