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
