Your personal XI

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Having read through all of the match, player, transfer and tactical threads throughout the season, it is clear we all differ on how we like the game to be played and the type of player we like. With that in mind, I would like to see what you come up with when you are given the freedom to select any player and play any system you want.

It's different from the usual XI threads because you don't need to pick the best players, there's no need for great detail and no real criteria to meet. Just a bit of fun to pass the time and satisfy my interest. It isn't more complicated than that and there are no ulterior motives (this is not some dodgy psychological test). All I'm looking for is an XI and three words describing your team. That's it, although Sapphire is allowed to do a 'best looking XI' if she would like to. ;)

Hop to it...

How realistic is this supposed to be? Is this supposed to be our personal United XI, or just our personal XI including any player we want?

thanks, now if three more people can confirm this, I might start thinking it over whether or not I'll actually post here. :p

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Pick whatever Arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool/Man City/Leeds... players you want. ;)

Dunno, I thought mentioning Bayern Munich/Liverpool would have sufficed for SirManc :D :p

[bestbecks]

Dirtier scouse krauts. That's SirMancs team.

[SirManchester]

Alright, let's get on with the show:

----------------------Buffon-------------------------
Sagnol-------Lucio---------Chivu-----------Heinze

--------------------Alonso--------------------------
Gerrard--------------------------------------J.Cole
---------------------Totti----------------------------
-------------Rooney-------Henry-------------------

So what if Rooney and Henry aren't great in the air, they'll still manage to create and score goals.

I actually put together a very-sexy, semi-realistic United squad. Sexy-fullstop squad to come shortly (LOTS of research necessary for that one ;) ).

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - VDS
- - - - - - - - - - Rio - - - - - - - - - - Vidic
Pique/Old Man Neville - - - - - - - - - - - -- - Heinze
---------------------------------------------------
- - - - - - - - Carrick - - - - Scholes
CRon - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rooney
- - - - - - - Saha - - - - - - - Mido


Various bench: Timmy, Patty, Wes, Oshea, Emanuele Blasi, Park, Giggs, Smith, Rossi, Ole.


I'm not saying it's a good idea, I'm just saying it's my idea. :D I call it "Sexy, Pseudo-realistic United" (3 words). And of course, it's a damn crying shame that RVN isn't in there, but I'm learning to cope and move on.
