Fantasy World Cup - Day Two, Match Four

[Harishan]

I'm keen.

Have voted for 'pick your own team' as drafts normally drag, but I'm happy with either option.

 

[treva]

Ok, the poll has closed and you guys have decided to pick your own teams. Here are the rules when it comes to picking your team:

• You must pick 1 goalkeeper, and can have a maximum of 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 strikers in your line-up.
• You are only allowed to have 2 players from one nation in your team.
• Each round you are allowed to make 2 transfers, a further transfer will cost you 5 points.
• I will decide the positions of players if any are in doubt (For example: Messi = FW, Simao = MF)
• Be aware that the competition will run until the final, so select wisely from the teams you expect to last longer.
• Also, the best players don't always get the best scores so make sure you assess all the factors before picking your line-up.

Could the guys who have already chosen their teams (Matt and Covvy) please re-pick making sure they follow the above rules (Formations can be 5-4-1, 5-3-2, 4-5-1, 3-5-2, 4-4-2, 3-4-3 or 4-3-3)

 

[mattfb]

GK - Buffon

DR - Maicon
DC - Terry
DC - Lucio
DL - Evra

MC - Mascherano
MC - Xavi
MC - Ballack

AML - Sneijder
AMR - Messi

ST - Torres

That all good? Buffon in for Casilas and Lucio in for Puyol

 

[treva]

That's all good. I'm going to say Sneijder is a midfielder so it's 4-4-2, but that makes no difference whatsoever really. Goals, assists, MotM and minutes are what affect both midfielders and forwards. Expect to see the goalkeepers pick up the most points.

 

[Imager36]

Okay then... Here we go...

GK - Casillas

RB - Lahm
CB - Pique
LCB - L?cio

RM - Ribery (If he counts as FW, let me know)
LM - Gerrard
CM - Toulalan
CAM - Rakitic

ST - Villa
ST - Van Persie
ST - Rooney

EDIT - Scrubbed David Silva, added Ashley Cole.

EDIT 2 - Cole, Terry out, Rooney, L?cio in. Sorry 'bout that, thought it was 3

 

[treva]

I'll count Ribery as MF, but again it makes no difference as 3-4-3 would still be a legible formation.

You can't have Pique, Villa and Silva in your team though. There's a limit of 2 players per nation, just to give things a mix.

EDIT: You've sorted it

EDIT: Now you have 3 English players!

 

[AkshayS]

GK - Julio Cesar

Defenders
Phillip Lahm
John Terry
Gabriel Heinze

Midfielders
Michael Ballack
Xavi
Ricardo Kaka
Wesley Sneijder

Forwards
Lionel Messi
Ronaldinho
Wayne Rooney

 

[Covvy]

Is my team on page one all good?

 

[mattfb]

Too many England players Covvy (Terry Gerrard Rooney)

 

[treva]

Yeah, I cut it down from the original 3 to 2, just to get diversity.

 

[Covvy]

In that case then I'll just replace Terry with Daniel Alves

 

[topshotta]

GK - Julio Cesar

DR - Maicon
DC - Terry
DC - Samuel
DL - Cole

RM - Ribery
MC - Xavi
LM - Robben

RS - Ronaldo
LS - Messi
ST - Villa

 

[treva]

You have three England players, the limit is two.

 

[AkshayS]

You have three England players, the limit is two.

Just wanna know if my team is fine or not, Would you mind checking it.

 

[treva]

Yours is fine, although I suppose you mean Wesley Sneijder
