That's a decent looking team Welshy. Maybe to change that to a more 4-3-3 you could have van Bommel holding a bit deeper and Strootman and Sigurdson in front of him. Strootman has played this role for PSV whenever Engelaar has been on the pitch

A few tips for you - Jetro Willems, the young PSV left back who seems to be 1st choice fo the Dutch team costs only £1.3m.

Luciano Narsingh (RW/LW) also off to the Euros - £3.1m

Wesley (RW/LW) from FC Twente - £1.8m

Cheers mate

Okay so Jetro Willems I know of - he's built like an Ox but only 18 I think. Pieters is injured and he's not mean't to be all that I gather so Jetro definately one for the future or maybe even now?

Narsingh I've looked at on youtube, looks like a hell of a talent - very fast and great skills. Haven't heard of Wesley - I'll have to have a look.

What about Ola John? He's just signed for Benfica and looks the biz also.

..............a few more -

Wout Brama - FC Twente (23) DM,CM - £4.8m
Leroy Fer - FC Twente (22) DM,CM,AM - £4.8m
Georginio Wijnaldum - PSV (21) CM,AM,RW - £6.6m
Ismail Aissati - Ajax (23) AM,LW, RW - £1.8m

Douglas? Isn't he Dutch or Brazilian? Lodeiro?

Now this good man knows his stuff

Heard of Fer and Wijnaldum - but not the other 2 so that's a bit of research for me

Ther's an awful lot of talent coming through in the Netherlands it seems.

Where do you place Gouweleeuw btw? I saw a video on him and by heck he likes to get forward for a defender. He's at Heerenveen at the mo, but surely a move to Ajax or similar is on the cards?

Look at us tapping up LC for information

LC

He hasn't replied to me yet

ter Stegen 19
Koray Gunter 16
Stefan Bell 19
Manuel Gulde 19
Pierre-Michel Lasogga 19
Bernd Leno 19
Lewis Holtby 21

are a few Germans that spring to mind

There seems to be a fair bit of interest in Gouweleeuw. However, there are better young Dutch defenders

I have already made a bid for Stegen, he is class, Holtby was the one who was promised big things about 3 years ago wasn't he?

Holtby is in my Schalke team, but must confess whilst I've heard of him - I don't know an awful lot more about him. English name - but German in nationality?

Yes

Strootman is already on my team

Leiva, We are talking about Hodgey's FA league

Oh

Leiva

s all round.

Did i miss my submission for tactics by any chance?

I doubt it mate, I haven't predicted on any matches, has anyone?

I would love Tippy & Fred to do a reboot for this comp. It could and should still work.

We one player short i think

or 2 possibly?

I make it your goodself, Tippy, Fred, Rap, No 21, LC, Tbag, Pride, Punt & me - haven't seen Joe for days on here and thedude handed in his notice.

At worse it's a nice place to chat, just a shame that drop outs caused the whole thing to go on hold pretty much from the off.

So if its 2 short, it aint that bad.

We have equal numbers for both teams

Yeah, we should do a reboot, and start again (for the 3rd time lol) But I would love it if this league stays on

I was also looking forward to it.

Display my tactical nous amongst you mere mortals

Leiva,

I think we are going to revert to default tactics anyway
