ponsaelius Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Pick the following: The best: 4 goalies 4 right backs 6 centre backs 4 left backs 6 centre midfielders 4 right wingers 4 left wingers 6 attackers in no particular order Stolen from another forum, thought it might be interesting. Mine is: Keepers: Hart, Reina, Krul, Szczesny Right backs: Sagna, Richards, Ivanovic, Jones Centre backs: Vidic, Kompany, Agger, Coloccini, Vermaelen, King Left backs: Evra, Enrique, Cole, Baines Centre mids: Toure, Modric, Wilshere, Lucas, VdV, Carrick Right wing: Nani, Valencia, Johnson, Sturridge Left wing: Bale, Silva, Mata, Young, Attackers: Rooney, RvP, Aguero, Hernandez, Suarez, Ba Makes it difficult with the defined positions as I certainly don't think of people like Silva, Mata, Sturridge as wingers or VdV as a central midfielder. Selection is based on both form this season and class in general, if we're talking quality over a career for example I'd personally have Berbatov over Hernandez, Ba etc but he simply hasn't played enough this season for me to consider him. Same reason I left out Rio and Terry as I think both are on the downward spiral. What really struck me is just how few players in the bottom half I even came close to considering, there really is a case of top clubs hoarding the best players and everybody else feeding on scraps. The only players I picked outside of the top 6 were Baines (who doesn't have much competition at LB) and 3 NUFCplayers which is largely down to bias.

Fenham Mag Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Only thing i would change with yours is Cabaye instead of Carrick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Actually, I'd probably have Tioté ahead of Carrick but 4 NUFC players was probably too much bias on another forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Cant have Silva on the left wing, thats just cheating man......he plays in central mid, well slightly advanced anyhoo, att mid ?..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I really don't think it's that biased is it? Our squad is a lot of average to poor players being pulled up above their level by 3 or 4 very, very good players.

Ronaldo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I think that's his point. Even the biggest anti-NUFC scummer couldn't argue with Krul, Coloccini and Ba being in there. They simply have to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Could probably put Lampard in instead of Carrick, still staying fit and doing it unlike Gerrard. I did consider the likes of Ramires and Sandro too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 In no realm does Gerrard deserve to be ahead of Lampard. Gerrard has been on the slide down for a good couple of years and while Lampard isn't at the heights he once was, he still does the business on a regular basis. I actually think he's been underrated over the years; it's become fashionable to slag him off for some reason. An outstanding player season after season after season.
