    Decided to do this based on a conversation on another thread about our transfer policy.

    Pick a team and bench, you cannot use any of our Summer signings or players that we have sold.

    You can use players we have loaned out and injured players and you can pick any 2 players in the world to add to the team.

    Once you've done this do you think that team is better or worse than what we currently have.

    Sold in the summer or ever? E.g. Could we buy Mascherano as one of our two players?

    -Anyone-Anyone-Anyone-Anyone-
    ----------Ronaldo-Messi

    The any 2 players in the world rule makes this pointless

    Biscan you're missing the 2 players, any 2 players in the world and does that then make the team you've picked better or worse than our actaul team?

    The point is about our transfer policy, does it make sense to go out an buy 5,6,7 players like we constantly do or should we be buying worldies and making use of the academy. Pick a team and discuss.

    The point is we didn't buy the 2 best players in the world, so anyone who can't create a better team than the one we currently have is an idiot

    In a world with no injuries and only 1 game per week it makes sense to buy worldies

    Sooooo...

    no summer signings and no sales.

    and just add two premium players too it.

    right.....

    see this aint too easy cos making it "better" aint too easy as you've asked for a bench. but i reckon we've have more points.


    my team:

    Neuer
    wisdom Toure skertl (there is nobody else) Enrique
    Lucas Matic
    Henderson Coutinho Sterling
    Sturrdige​

    bench: mingolet, flanagan, coates, suso, ilori, gerrard, sinclair (no f'n way is aspas making my bench)

    my rationale is a worldie keeper and i'll idgnore injuries at the back and send skertl out to attack the ball high up. and play matics and lucas to shut up shop 1-0 every game!

    edit: i forgot sahko existed so i'd prob sub him in for skertl.

    Well yeah adding Messi and Neuer slightly better <laugh>

    Pick any 2 player a from Madrid Barca Bayern and it will better <ok>

    I think what's worrying is, looking at the team I put its no worse than our team for this season despite buying 100m worth it players. That's the really worry here. We've bought a **** load of players who bar Moreno are no better than what we already had in the first 11.

    Mine is

    -------------Mingolet----------------
    Flanno--Hummels--Sakho--Enrique
    --------------Lucas--Hendo----------
    ---Studge-----Coutinho-----Sterling--
    --------------Aguero-----------------

    Jones Gerrard Ibe Wisdom Rossiter Suso Skrtel

    Not too happy with the bench but if I had the choice I'd go with that over what we have at this point, a lot would depend on the youngsters stepping up but there's quality around them when they play.

    You'd keep Suso but get rid of Sturridge?

    So is it better for us to go and buy 2 worldies or 6 or 7 squad players like we do season after season. Before making that choice yes you have to consider a season in the CL.
