Your line up - who has the best eleven?

[athertpa]

Hi all,

Just wanted to get some feedback on who had created the very best first eleven (without cheating obiously), and how long it had taken you to assemble to team?

Please use the following format:

Team:
Formation: I.e 442
Players - please include their position (or the one you play them in), the role you play them and their duty (defend, support, attack etc)
Season assembled: I.e season 2
Achievements: I.e Prem league 3 time, Euro cup once etc
Star player
Best Buy

I'm sure some people will have some excellent line ups, this is your chance to show them off.

that is an awesome starting 11!!! think I would struggle to get Torres and Teves to play together, they have an excellent ability but lack real strength. I have heard Kjaer is amazing I am going to try and sign him on my man u save

I'm at the start of my 4th season and would say my first choice XI when fit is:

GK- P Reina
RB- G Johnson
LB- F Coentreao
CB- R Shawcross
CB- D Agger
DM- S Defour
CM- S Gerrard (on his last legs)
RAM- A Johnson
LAM- G Bale
STR- E Dzeko
STL- F Torres

Star Player - Steven Gerrard, even though he is getting on a bit he is still more than capable of pulling the strings from the centre of midfield. He is also 4 caps away from breaking Shiltons cap record and his currently the England skipper!

Best Buy - Edin Dzeko, picked up on a free transfer at the end of my 3rd season. Has started his Liverpool career brightly scoring 5 goals in 8 league games and 7 in 10 in all comps.

With Barcelona:

[aslaram]

Transfer window still open, 2nd season Arsenal.

I'm set up using classic so don't have any pre-set positions in use.

Won the league 1st attemp with 96 points. Semi final F.A. Cup, semi final champions league.

4-1-2-1-2 Diamond

Ochoa
Sagna
Vermaelen
Lugano
Coentrao
Vidal
Fabregas
Hamsik
Nasri
Balotelli
Van Persie

Also have Glichy, Humberto Suazo, Lukaku and a few others I consider as really good players. I really haven't spent much as I like I'm trying to make a profit if I can.

Will look at tweaking my tactic slightly, but surprisingly the above team is very, very good! Arshavin was amazing but had a fallout with Jack Wilshire and I had to sell him. £14.5m!!! I was really annoyed because I expected alot more than that!

[aslaram]

Ace's - I really like the fact you've kept your team together and promoted youngsters. Have to say the team looks pretty beastly. Helps when you get Ramos and that really cheap though (which is a huge issue with the game).

I just bought Balotelli for £11.25m, Hamsik for £9.25m and Humberto Suazo for FREE!! Kind of ruins the game.

 

[Velveti]

My third season with Barcelona after spending 3 years with Wolfsburg

sweep keep: Valdes
left wingback: Juan Manuel Vargas
centre back left: Simon Kjaer
centre back right: Pique
right wingback: Dani
defensive mid: Mascherano
centre mid: Iniesta
centre mid: Pastore
right forward: Dzeko
centre forward: Messi
left forward: Villa or Tevez

achievements: Every competition won. Champs league, la liga, del Rey, Spanish Supercup, European Supercup, Club World Cup.

My tactic is a new take on 4-3-3, and it perfectly simulates how Barcelona play. It's nothing like any of the tactics submitted here. I will post it after I finish finals. I average +60% possession and 4+ goals per game.

Star player is Messi. During the First year he scored like 60 goals (I'll edit this after I check tonight). I got Dzeko and Pastore on free transfers this summer. I was already Dzeko's favoured personnel from my time at Wolfsburg, and signing him was great, he's averaging more than a goal per game. I got Tevez during winter transfer window in my first season, for 11.5 million euros after he was ****** off at Allerdyce at Man City lol.

 

[Ace's]

thank you aslaram...yup for some it's like a bugs..but on the game ramos hint out mourinho for the main reason...
for the youngster i should prepare them after milito, zanetti, samuel, cordoba running with the ball with their cane...actually their still in the club as coach and also Deki as my assistant...
i think you can do it too.. arsenal has a lot of bullets...

Personally I would rotate dzeko and babacar as target men and get a fast pacey striker to partner one of them

It'll obviously need some tweaking, from the few games I've played so far I'd say my major concern is at the back. I'm getting absolutely dominated in the air, especially at set pieces, maybe I need my wingbacks to be a little bit less adventurous I don't know. I'm gonna have to have a look at things & see how I can tighten things up.

Also in January I'm going to try & bring in another CM, I'd love to bring in Hamsik as cover & an eventual replacement for Gerrard but that's gonna have to wait until next summer at the earliest so I'm gonna be scouting a lot during the season to see if I can find a half decent AM that isn't going to cost me an arm & a leg.

 

[Velveti]

I will next week. I've got a lot of studying do for now.
