| Post subject: | World Cup DREAM TEAM Thread |
Wasn't gonna do this till later on but I'm feeling in a WC mood today, and you can make unlimited changes up to 11th June so I thought I might as well. There are a few free online dream teams but this one looks really good - http://fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/#mfwc-top-page (Sky do one but they don't have a budget which is a bit gash). This Metro one dishes out scores based on OPTA stats during the game, so it's not just the usual points for clean sheets, goals and assists, and scores and leaderboards are updated daily. Basically £100m to spend on 15 players (although only those in the first 11 score points), and you can make up to 20 changes over the course of the tournament. Here are the full rules http://fantasyfootball.metro.co.uk/worldcup/how-to-play/#mfwc-top-page. Be cool if we can get a few people on there: League - Man City Forum Pin - 8005696 This is my team atm Player Name Country Value Lloris, H France £4.6m Ramos, S Spain £7.0m Lahm, P Germany £6.5m Johnson, G England £4.9m Bastos, M Brazil £4.9m Xavi Spain £8.7m Di Maria, A Argentina £8.2m Hamsik, M Slovakia £6.3m Krasic, M Serbia £6.2m Messi, L Argentina £10.0m * Torres, F Spain £9.3m Current Subs Goalkeeper Wiese, T Germany £4.3m Defender Otamendi, N Argentina £4.9m Midfielder Mata, JM Spain £5.8m Striker Suarez, L Uruguay £8.4m It says it's only open to UK residents, but you only have to put in some bullshit UK address.. |

Buffon
Lahm - Lucio - Cannavaro - Cole Sneijder - Xavi - Milner Villa - Rooney (c) - Donovan Subs: Howard, Azpilicueta, Veloso, Ozil I like my team, even the subs. I fancy Ozil to be the young player of the tournament (if there is such an award). |

Should have been. The cheating fat junky dago could not pick his nose -- never mind a team. |

Gutiérrez got into the squad but Cambiasso didn't. Maradona must be back on the coke. |

Their loss. Our gain. If we do play the Argie's which is a possibility I think, it will be a whole lot easier without Cambiasso not playing, and Gutiérrez playing.

Gutierrez generally does well when he plays for Argentina and people aren't really too shocked about his inclusion. He's been in the Argentina squad for quite a while. The likes of Palermo (is that the right name? the old, slow, striker) are far more concerning for Argentina in my opinion. |

The likes of Palermo (is that the right name? the old, slow, striker) are far more concerning for Argentina in my opinion. Unfortunately he had to include Palermo. He pretty much scored the goal that got them into the world cup... more or less. There was an article published a few days ago about 'why Maradona is an idiot'. Part of the reasons were that he did not include European champion and one of the best DM in the world today, Cambiasso, did not include the most stable right wingers in the history of football, Zanetti and included Ariel Garce instead, a player that has only one cap to his name...which he got in a charity match vs. Haiti. |
