I'd perhaps put in Abidal over Marcelo at LB.
Llorente/Forlan over Kaka on the bench.

Oh, I almost didn't notice Nani on the wing there.
Was that a typo?

The memory of Essien's past brilliance is still strong and will always mean he is put in the fantasy prem team.

I assumed that everyone would be fit and healthy and on top form

posted on 21/8/11

Yes everyone is on top form and 100% fit. And very good shout putting Fabio Coentrao at LB. I think ill swap them now

I forgot about Alves, I would switch him for Ramos at RB.

Also, Villa cutting in from the left, Messi from the right and Ronaldo as the central striker...

I might also be tempted to put Carvalho in instead of Pique too...

posted on 21/8/11

Noooo Alves is not as good as Ramos. Only thing letting Ramos down is he is a stress head.

I think ill stick with Ozil from the right, Messi down the middle and Ronnie from the left.

I hope your joking about Carvalho

Essien?

I thought he was the new Hargreaves, once great but incredibly injury prone and no where near his old self, was terrible every game I saw him last season.

posted on 21/8/11

You could say the same about Torres...

I prefer attacking fullbacks hence having Alves.

Ozil is an attacking midfielder, more central than right sided I would have thought. Messi and Villa coming in off the sides and Ronaldo in the middle for the heading ability

And no, I was serious about Carvalho, I thought he was a great defender for Chelsea on his day...

Cech
Ivanovic-Vidic-Terry-Cole
Essien-Toure-Modric
Nani-Drogba-RVP

This woudlnt even be close for 2 reasons:

a). the La Liga team is more or less the Spain (European and World champions) team minus the forwards so they're obviously a well balanced class side.

b). the Premier League team is probably no better than United's first XI now, or City's

I agree with alot of what you say on here but not that comment.

__________________________

How can you not agree with what I said there

Point a). is fact, not an opinion. Minus Messi, Ronaldo, Ozil and add Busquets, Villa, Torres/Silva and wala, it's Spain

Point b). is IMO true. Our first choice defence IS better, our wingers/forwards are no worse (Hernandez/Young are not much inferior to Torres/Silva) and Essien is living off his reputation. Hes been garbage for 2 years now

Chelsea>>>>>Spain>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Ghana>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>England=Nepal=fact

Reina
Ivanovic, Vidic, Rio, Cole
Essien
Yaya Toure, Modric
Suarez, Bale
Rooney

Thats the strongest and best balanced PL team, and it would 100% give any liga BBVA side a run for their money...although maybe de jong for essien....its close...

Benzeguero

Coentrao is not spanish either.

I think the Premier league side would be near impossible to break down (iam talking about essien on top form). Thats the best defense i think in the world if you swap Reina for Casillas and Ramos for Sagna. The two DMs wouldnt let anything through the middle and the front 4 are class. A counter attack with those 4= WOw
