Four of us posted formations, DaddyTorgo posted his squad. Here are the squads for the other two guys:

GoldenEagle:

GK: J. Cesar
DEF: Carragher, Samuel, Zanetti, Santon, J. Evans
MID: Essien, Silva, Pirlo, Giggs, Fabregas, Ronaldinho, Malouda
FW: Eto'o, Rooney, Forlan, van Persie, Anelka

BishopMVP:

GK: Howard, Palop
DEF: Ferdinand, Maicon, Kompany, Westermann
MID: de Rossi, Zhirkov, Toulalan, A. Young, Juninho, Y. Toure, Carzola
FW: Torres, Aguero, Mutu, Robinho, Lopez

I would like BishopMVP, GoldenEagle, and DaddyTorgo to post formations. I've rated everyone's team and could post them based on how I think those squads logically go into a formation but I'll wait a bit and see if these users decide to do something unusual with their lineups.

[DaddyTorgo]

Yeah - I need to work up what my formation is going to be. Things have been a lil hectic and I haven't really had the desire to sit down and do it. Will get to it tonight. I may do something a lil different then you'd thought Fo, trying to make use of the flexability of a lot of my players.

              Torres
              Aguero
A. Young                   Mutu
        De Rossi    Toulalan
Zhirkov  Ferdinand Kompany   Maicon
             Howard

Bench: Palop, Westermann, Yaya Toure, Juninho, Robinho, Santi Cazorla (inj), Lisandro

Cazorla's injury really hurts me for wing depth off a 4-4-2, and my wingbacks are too offensive to allow me the alternative of a 3-5-2 so my alternate formation is a 4-3-3

              Torres
      Robinho        Lisandro

             De Rossi
        Y. Toure   Toulalan
Zhirkov                     Maicon
         Ferdinand Kompany
             Howard

Bench: Palop, Westermann, Juninho, A. Young, Cazorla (inj) Mutu, Aguero (I haven't seen him play in a side striker position, which is the only thing keeping me from having him out there ahead of Robinho.)

The other mistake I made was drafting Yaya Toure ahead of Per Mertesacker, as Kompany can switch from CB to DM and now I have no cover for a tall CB to pair with Ferdinand.


We'll give GE the weekend to post his squad, then Monday (or before if he posts) I'd say everyone rank the 6 teams other than their own. 1st - 10 2nd - 7 3rd - 5 4th - 3 5th - 2 6th - 1. If you want to PM me instead of posting publicly for fear someone yet to post will take your rankings into account, feel free to do so, but I doubt anyone is that crafty

So... this was a big waste of time then

[DaddyTorgo]

waste of time how? i enjoyed it...although yes i still need to post my formation/lineup.

and i'm happy to argue ther merits of my team versus any other.
