Good. Keeping my cards close and all that.

I thought I did and it could be quite interesting. This is an interesting option up the sleeve, but don't understand why you didn't look at the other role... KPS, jake and the game didn't need Sousa anyway.
 
Would have preferred a non winner in this position, but I'm going with Salgado.

Thank God :lol:

My pick is the amazing William Sagnol

The players I have lined up next I don't think anyone will take... That's gonna bite me in the bollocks isn't it!?
 
Good pick, kps. I'm a little perplexed as to how Michel lasted that long to be honest. He's one of the first names that springs to mind when mentioning right-backs of the 1990s/2000s.

Game Cube is up!
 
Sagnol and Puyol on the right hand side of my defense is absolutely perfect in my opinion, when Sagnol marudes forward, Pique can pick up that ground and Mascherano can cover the gap Pique makes.

That's the beauty of a defence that has played together. When Sagnol marauds forward ala Dani Alves, Puyol, Pique and Mascherano will know what to do even if their instructions are utterly confusing. and one plays for Ralaks

Pique is gone mate! Gone!

Ferrara was a fine right back as well as a centre back. You've got options!

You wouldn't break that cracking pair though. With Robben not helping much he just needs a solid if unspectacular non-CL RB and he should be OK.
 
Made a mistake, meant to say Puyol twice. I'll clear it up soon.
 
Damn you kps, it was Salgado after all, what have you done to him!?!?!?! :(
Justice for Jake

Just did this off the top of my head (correct if wrong) and it seems some of you could get into some real trouble.

It's four non-CL IN THE STARTING XI. With three "starting" picks left almost half the teams will have to make two of those non-CL winners.

True. Ferrara was known to cover the whole line. Optimal as a sweeper though in a 5 man defense if I remember correctly.

Aye, he's ideally better off in the centre.

I think Robben's lack of work defensively is actually a decent reason for moving a rock solid defender like Ferrara to right back. There's one other centre back out there that I have a particular liking for that might possibly be worth breaking up the Ferrara/Nesta partnership for. Probably won't be as highly rated by most as he is by me though.
