I'm starting this thread purely for fun. This isn't meant to be a "Best XI" thread or anything, just XI footballers who play way YOU LIKE. What I'm asking if MAKE A TEAM, not collection of 11 best attacking players in a formation which won't work with a midfield of kaka,cristiano ronaldo and xavi (like magazines and award committees often select). If you were a coach, unlimited budget, nothing stopping you (like fact certain players won't leave) what would your XI be?
If you are going to use players from previous time periods please specify. I will make two XIs. A current form team (last 2 to 3 years) and a timeless team (IE I'll specify "Sheva 99-06" or whatever). .
I plan to do two teams, a current form one and a all time team. All time team I keep making adjusts too, so i'll post later but here's my current team
Manager: Ancelotti
What can I say, in terms of pure football I enjoy to watch vintage ancelotti football is type I prefer most. Over Barca, Man Utd, Mourinho etc. etc. Theres probably some bias/nostalgia in it but hey we all got our preferences
In my opinion, Drogba is simply best CF in world. I love Ibra, but Drogba does more a pure CF's job than Ibra who is a bit more of a magician.
Ronaldo would be a #7 striker, which is probably his best role. The Kaka/Sheva role. I could use messi here too, but I like Ron more. He's just such a machine, and when he's given this role (free forward) he usually contributes with a massive amount of goals and assists, headers, free kicks etc. etc. etc. I often find him too isolated when he plays pure winger role.
Sneijder for me is best #10 in world now. Inter douche, but he's special.
Midfield was hardest part for me cause I'm a big fan of CMs in general, different types etc.
Pirlo is don't need to explain, just cant leave him out..... Essien I don't need to explain. De Rossi actually could contribute 6 to 9 goals in a team like this where he isn't doing a pure DMs role. I thought HARD about lampard too, but decided to go with more muscle. Play possession, push forward when needed and be fine defensively...
Defense speaks for itself, and what i expect. Narrow team so wingbacks will take of it.
Buffon may have declined a bit from 'his prime' BUT i still find him most reliable keeper. Even if reflexes r slower, he never makes a real tactical error
Edit: I know I'm begging for insults for the usual 'stupidity triad' . Thats fine....
I'm actually VERY curious what everyones ideal team (present and past) are. Who would you play, how would you align them, responsibilities, lets have a little fantasy FM fun. No right or wrong
+ points if you include merkel, verdi
