Lets do that premier league squad game!

[Oncy]

So you have to pick a 20 man squad to play for you next season from the current premier league teams.
You need to have 2 keepers, 6/7 or 8 defenders, 6/7 or 8 midfielders and 4 forwards

You can only have ONE player from any team.

Over to you.

Gerrard

[Halmeister]

Keni's got 2 from Swansea the cheat!

 

[Halmeister]

Hahaha - Bendtner.

 

[Pesam]

Keni's got 2 from Swansea the cheat!

Well spotted Hal. Keni get yerself a WBA player.

 

[dmishra]

I've gone through all, and mine is easily the best balanced squad of 20.

Oncy's and Hal's aren't bad though, but mine would still beat both. And steam roll all others.

*Smirks*

Keni has two central midfielders in his squad of 20 - Tiote and Holden!

*Double smirks*

 

[dmishra]

Oh, and Oncy said four forwards.

It is rather good but...........would you consider changing Cattermole for Sessegnon (Sunderland) and then Modric for Parker (Spurs) and have Parker as your DM who is considerably better than Cattermole?

 

[dmishra]

I'd rather have Modric as my central midfield playmaker than Sessegnon though. Cattermole isn't great, but he's best defensive mid I could get given the permutations.

I went for the strongest possible spine - Skrtel and Kompany in defence, Modric and Mata in midfield (with Cattermole or McCarthy as the combative midfielder, and Allen as a reserve for Modric), and the best possible diversity/variation in attack - Rooney (creativity), Ba (pace), van Persie (finishing), and Fletcher (aerial ability).

Filled out the rest with squaddies, and best attacking talent (Hoilett and Dembele) from the lower teams.

 

[Fabio]

Vorm - Swansea
Given - Villa

Skrtel -Liverpool
Baines - Everton
Shawcross - Stoke
Coloccini-Newcastle
Ivanovic - Chelsea
Taiwo - QPR


Holden- Bolton
Modric - Spurs
McCarthy- Wigan
Dorrans - WBA

Hoilett - Blackburn
Dembele - Fulham
Sessegnon - Sunderland
Jarvis - Wolves

Holt -Norwich
Rooney-Mancs
Van Persie-Arsenal
Aguero - City

So from your squad you'd pick a midfield/forward line of...........

---------------------Cattermole---------------------
-------Mata-------------------------Modric------------

---Rooney------Van Persie---Ba-----------

Correct?

Whereas with my change you could have....................

------------------------Parker------------------------
-------Sessegnon----------------Hoillet--------
-------------------------Mata-------------------------
-----------------Rooney----Van Persie------------

Tough call between Hoillet and Allen and I could go either way on it.......but I think it's a better option than anything with Cattermole in it.

 

[HC]

Aye, I'd go with Pesam's team there, Dmish.

Neither the Feltcher or Cattermole would make my squad.

 

[Pesam]

I'll start mine now and finish it later

Al Habsi - Wigan
Given - Villa

Skrtel - Liverpool
Shawcross - Stoke
Baines - Everton
Naughton - Norwich
Williams - Swansea
Dawson - WBA (up and coming CB who I think will become a top player)
R. Johnson - Wolves (I know he's been shit this season but.......)

Hoillett - Blackburn
Mata - Chelsea
Parker - Spurs
Y. Toure - Man City
Holden - Bolton
Sessegnon - Sunderland
Cabaye - Newcastle (toss of a coin with Ben Arfa)

Rooney - Man United
Van Persie - Arsenal
Pogrebniak - Fulham
Mackie - QPR

fair point, but couldn't think of who else to include, but seeing as people are putting 2 keepers in, i'll drop the zog for given as my 2nd keeper.

After I posted that I checked the Villa squad and realised just how few decent players they have. Bent & Given really seem the only options and N'Zog is no worse than any of the other Villa players.
