Fantasy draft

I know, I love how he slipped so far  8)

Yeah, got half the United team from when they were good early 2000's :)

Well he has played left so technically I can :P

[Andrew3737]

I dont think it was announced or not if the team is ment to be a team or just 11 players.

[8-6 Suited]

And how are we meant to know if the team is going to work or not when they haven't all played together? lol

[Andrew3737]

Well obv a team of scholes on the left and Lampard in the centre roaming by himself won't work.

[CrowsFan]

Well this is what MTTY has put as the aim: Pick the best possible team of un-retired players
Also this was posted on the front page: Also when you name your squad they need to be in their legitimate positions. Eg you can't pick 4 wingers to all play in the midfield because that wouldn't work in RL

[benjy251090]

Well Lampard plays Centre Midfield, and Scholes has played INTERNATIONALLY as a Left Midfielder so he knows how to

[CrowsFan]

I think what he is saying is that having Lampard in the centre without a holding midfielder with him will struggle

[benjy251090]

I have faith :P

But they have played and continue to play those positions. Especially when this was about the best players at said times in their careers which for Scholes was when he was playing LM.

Therefore... Whats the problem with it? I don't see one.

[Andrew3737]

Yes. He is a box-to-box midfielder. Scholes and Veron are the same sort of player.

I would have a formation like this

------------Raul-----------
-------Henry---------------
----Ging-Veron-Lamp---
---------Nev-------------


It's narrow but it would work a lot better. But if we are only putting together players, then I guess this doesn't matter.

If you were to put that team out there, it would loose to a mediocre team. There's no doubt about it. I'm not saying anything about positions. Just about how the team is put together.

[CrowsFan]

Another interesting one is that MTTY has picked 3 CB's and a RB/LB. Interesting to see how he gets that to work

[8-6 Suited]

All it is that will change it is a formation and thats it. Which is simply putting it on the this11 and putting oit down.


Which means very little, considering they aren't going to play. It's more for show than anything.

[benjy251090]

I guess that could work, thanks Andrew, I love Neville, so versatile :)

With Andrews suggestion, new team looks like:

[CrowsFan]

Yeah a diamond in the middle works better. That was how chelsea used to line up before they realised malouda was good
