Pick a Team Challenge

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.

i totally agree. i feel moreno = good but need work.

the rest? ok markovic is 20 but i cant see it so can and origi at 20 mil for both is only good work.

i absolutely agree., 3 windows wasted

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.

are you assuming injurys still occur also?

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.

6 or 7 squad players

Spread the risk

Or ideally, 4 squad and 1 worldie

Anyway we can't sign Messi, especially by offering him to play with our academy

Suarez and Reina? Mascherano?

Agree with your point. <ok>

Edited and the bench is now better.

It seems crazy to me that we keep doing this we need to add quality other than quantity.

See my post on the prem board on the Rodgers sack watch thread from last night
 
Jones
Flanagan
Skrtel
Toure
Sakho
Lucas
Henderson
Allen
Sterling
Sturridge
Borini

4-1-2-1-2

Sakho left back.

Subs : Mignolet, Enrique, Illori, Coutinho, Gerrard, Yesil, Ibe.


No worldies or fantasy signings but that team above beats the actual team Brendan picks 9 times out of 10.

Actually 9 times out of 10 it gets demolished by Brendan's team since Flanno and Sturridge have missed almost every game through injury <ok>

Sakho's been out most of the season too.

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.

Migs
Flanno - Skrtel - Toure - Enrique
Lucas
Hendo - - - - - Allen
Coutinho
Sterling - Sturridge​

After adding two players:

Migs
Flanno - Skrtel - Toure - Enrique
Macherano
Hendo - - - - - Coutinho
Sterling
Neymadge - Sturridge​

I think the latter team is better than what we currently have. Despite the defence remaining untouched from last season, we'd concede less having a recognised destroyer like Mascherano!!

In no way shape or form do I think Neymadge or Mascherano are realistic, just examples. Realistically, I'd have gone for a younger DM (don't know who though, Di Rossi...?) and Lavezzi

Migs
Flanno - Skrtel - Toure - Enrique
Di Rossi?
Hendo - - - - - Coutinho
Sterling
Lavezzi - Sturridge​

The second string for this approach and team would be:

Jones
Wisdom - Coates - Sakho - Johnson
Lucas
Gerrard - - - - - Allen
Suso
Borini - Aspas​
 
Here's my attempt. First let's start with our official first team squad minus the new signings:

1. Jones 2. Johnson 3. Enrique 4. Toure 8. Gerrard 10. Coutinho 11. Assaidi 14. Henderson 15. Sturridge 16. Coates
17. Sakho 21. Lucas 22. Mignolet 24. Allen 26. Ilori 29. Borini 30. Suso 31. Sterling 32. Brannagan 33. Ibe 36. Yesil 37. Skrtel
38. Flanagan 41. Dunn 44. Smith 46. Rossiter 47. Wisdom 48. Sinclair 49. Williams 51. Jones 52. Ward 53. Teixeira - Alberto - Aspas


Next I exclude Flanagan, Sturridge, and Sakho because they have not been available most of the season through injury. (Those injuries were also began in preseason or international duty so if I imagine being brought in as new manager there is **** all I could have done to prevent them.)

My best team would be:

------------- Mignolet
Johnson - Skrtel - Toure - Enrique
--------------- Lucas
-------- Henderson - Allen
------------- Coutinho
--------- Sterling - Borini

Jones, Gerrard, Ibe, Ilori, Wisdom, Teixeira, Alberto


The striker position needs improvement. The depth is non-existent, and a midfield injury leaves us ****ed. So next I use my 2 worldie buys to get Fabregas and Costa (if you want just pick the best CM and ST in the world instead but since these two moved to the PL for £60m this season it's more sensible IMO). Now I have

------------- Mignolet
Johnson - Skrtel - Toure - Enrique
--------------- Allen
-------- Henderson - Coutinho
------------- Fabregas
--------- Sterling - Costa

Jones, Gerrard, Ibe, Ilori, Wisdom, Lucas, Borini

(plus Sturridge, Sakho, Flanagan coming in 2nd half of the season)
