Stripeyshark PL XI
SUBS:
Tim Krul
Mark Wright
Luke Young
Matt Holland
Gabriel Agbonlahor
This team is built with strength, pace, power, experience, big game players and competition from the bench. I've had a real tough time deciding on a couple of places in this starting XI.
In terms of...
Oooooooooo! Didn't see THAT coming.
Still deciding on my XI. Having discussion with mates who have different views on Phillips, Holland and Valencia. It's gonna be a tough call!
Knew it! You were defending him far to fiercely for him not to be your's.
I share your sentiment about formation. I have chosen the definition of wing backs in Riise and Valencia so I can change from 442 to 352 easily. I like to think my bench will provide competition to my XI too.
Is he one of your picks? Haha. John O'Shea has had a good career. Him and Wes Brown have made a good move going to Sunderland. Again, I'd have O'Shea over a lot of defenders drafted. Will be interesting to see everyone's teams and to also see who has made the elevens from picks 12 to 16.
I said John O'Shea is a decent player. However he reminded me of players who really have played small parts in successful seasons. Anderson was my example.
From the John O'Shea example comes another dilemma too. Do you vote for an OK player who has won more titles or one that has been outstanding for his teams that haven't neccesarily been as successful. For example, I would say Steven Gerrard is better than Anderson, but the latter has 4 more PL...
