still think Menez will play, Nene despite his season last year could be the one to make way

Menez - Pastore - Hulk

So will not just now mate sorry

----------------------------Akinfeev--------------------------
Pereira-------Coloccini---------------Luisao-------Enrique
----------------------------A.Diarra--------------------------
-----------------Valero----------------Dzemaili-------------
-----------------------------Suarez---------------------------
---------------Huntelaar--------------Doumbia-------------

Subs: Guaita, Dominguez, Caceres, Hasebe, Seedorf, Dempsey, A. Frei

Captain: Luis Suarez
Free Kicks: Luis Suarez
Corner Kicks: Borja Valero
Penalties: Klass-Jan Huntelaar

==================================================

Akinfeev is one of the best keepers out there. Really quick at moving around the box with great reflexes. Coloccini and Luisao will dominate the opposition striker(s). They’ll man-mark if there are 2 strikers. Luisao will be in charge if there is only one striker with Coloccini ‘sweeping up’ the mess behind him. A deep defensive line will be used. Full backs will be in charge of showing wingers on their wrong foot. Only one full back will be allowed to travel into the opposition half at any given time to give support out wide when attacking.

Alou Diarra will patrol that area between defence and midfield, sniffing out any danger and cutting out through balls if possible. Dzemaili will provide support to Diarra when needed but will be expected to make late runs into the box when attacking. Valero will act as a deep-lying playmaker, picking up balls from Diarra and spraying it around short and long. The two central midfielders will occasionally be expected to deliver a ball from deep and wide into the box.

Suarez will be given a free role, will be in charge of pulling out wide and delivering a ball into the box. Suarez will be all over the place in the final third supporting Huntelaar and Doumbia. Huntelaar and Doumbia will be expected to pull out wide when space appears and spank a ball across the 6 yard box for the other 2 strikers to get on the end of. Huntelaar will also be in charge of holding the ball up for Suarez and Dzemaili to pick up. Doumbia can get on the end of through balls and leave defenders trailing with his pace and will be the ‘out ball’ when the team is put under pressure. Suarez and Doumbia are not expected to come back to defend, Huntelaar will be needed to defend against corners and free kicks.

Man-marking will be used when corners and free kicks come into the box. Luisao and Alou Diarra will go up for corners and free kicks, with Coloccini and both full backs staying back.

------------------------Stekelenburg------------------------
DerWiel----------A.Rami---------Sakho----------Criscito
-------------Marchisio---------------YannMvila------------
Hamsik-------------------Pastore---------------------Nene
--------------------------A.Negredo--------------------------

Gordon, Isla, Matuidi, Strootman, Honda, Ba, Cardozo

Stekelenburg in goal is a dominant keeper, his huge frame makes him very difficult to beat, he makes himself as big as possible and closes down forwards to reduce the shooting angle. Will release the ball early for the wide men.

Sakho will use his power and strength to mark the main CF, he will be onto him very quickly and not allow him the time or space to turn in on goal. Rami the captain will spur the team on, he will sit as the spare defender and watch for anyone else coming through unmarked and be quick to intercept the danger, clear everything and keep tight to Sakho to form a barrier impossible for the striker to get through.

M'Vila is the main DM, he sits in front of Sakho/Rami and picks up the AM/Playmaker of Valencia and stops him dictating play, be onto him quickly and dont allow him any time on the ball, nice and simple. Marchisio when they have will sit alongside him and stop the other AM coming forward, be hard and fair in the tackle anfd hound him out the game, he will break forward and support the forwards and make late runs into the box.

Pastore is the playmaker, he makes us tick, when hepicks the ball up he will drive forward or pass it out wide or nice through balls to Negredo to latch onto, his vision is fantastic. He is pivotal as he is the one most likely to break the Valencia defense so others must move and get into open spaces to recieve the pass.

Der Wiel and Criscito are solid and dependable fullbacks, saty tall and keep wingers to the outside to stop them causing any danger inside, dont dive in and forcde them wide. getting forward they will support our wingers one at a time we cant let oursleves be exposed. Nice triangles and one touch passing with the wingers to break the Valencia defense.

Hamsik and Nene will drive at the fullbacks, sometimes supported by the man behind, pass and go look for Pastore to get the ball in behind the defenders for them top run onto and get the crosses in or to play one twos with Negredo/Pastore to get into the box for a shot.

All 3 must track back and watch the FBs and DM getting forward.

Negredo will stay on the last man at all times and wait to make his move, always on his toes as Pastore and the wingers will always look to set him away on goal, greta vision and two good feet and what you would say is a typical poacher....

Captain - Rami
Penalties - Negredo
Freekicks - Pastore
Corners - Wingers

not a bad PSG team tho, Valencia the other team, he has ruined them lol

posted on 23/6/12

No deal sorry, rate both Mandanda and Courtois highly don't see them as a weakness tbh and prefer Mandanda to Akinfeev

Lamela > Ilicic, Ramires/Kroos > Lennon only position I see a gain is Lewandewski and I already have 2 strikers ahead of him sorry

Yeah Courtois will be starting but really like Mandanda think he's under rated

Don't think so really, two of my key players wouldnt want to ruin the balance in my team, particularly Ramires don't see any other player I could get that offers the same from any team
