Rohana - for me this is the best part, and the line up builders are so unimaginative (there's a market there just for this game), so will you accept this...
I've gone for an aggressive 3-4-3. Goals a plenty!
In that case my final team is...
HAMILTON & HIDDINK’S VENCEDORS
FORMATION: 3 – 4 - 3
GK: HOWARD
BACK 3: VAN DER WIEL, HANGELAND, HÖWEDES
MIDFIELD: GOTZE, GERRARD, KROOS, GIGGS
FORWARDS: FRED, DOUMBIA, AGEURO
MANAGER
Category 6 – Managed football in at least 4 different countries
GUUS...
I'm going all out attack.
My last pick makes up my final 3-4-3 formation.
It is FRED or Frederico Chaves Guedes.
He has won Ligue 1 with Lyon 3 times and presently plays in his native Brazil. He was the first striker to be selected for the Brazilian squad by Scolari. He alongside Aguero and...

Ah, but it also states...
"There isn’t a manager specific category so it will be up to you to find a way to place a manager in to your team."
Also it then states this...
"Category 5 – Has been the top goal scorer in a top-flight season.
Any player who has finished as the top scorer in any...
Sorry all.
I've been avoiding NSC for a few days. In mourning.
Back now and I'm picking a central defender who has yet to make a world cup appearance - but is sure to make an impression soon.
Benedikt Höwedes is the captain of Schalke 04.
"Schalke club captain Benedikt Howedes is often...
My next pick made himself available for category 7 only yesterday.
He has played 90 times for Norway and over 200 times for Fulham.
He is Brede Paulsen Hangeland
Sticking an exciting youngster into my defence.
