borobob v Joga bonito You have until Friday 10pm 01/08/2014 to make any changes to your line-up/tactics. I will then add a poll to begin the voting (open for 48 hours).
I think Lars Bender will be very busy playing against Reus, James Rodríguez and Ángel Di María. You'll need at least 2 of your attackers to drop back and defend deep I fancy my VIDAL-TIAGO versus your BARKLEY-FIRMINO too.
Baines kept Bale in his pocket for 5 years, before he fled to La Liga Daniel Carvajal was faultless against Ribéry/Robben/Müller in Madrid's 5-0 aggregate demolition of Bayern, so he does not fear Barkley or Hazard.
"World Cup"? Ah yes, I have the World Cup's most decisive player, Haaaamez Rodríguez. Dante has been beating every clean sheet record for years now with Bayern. Alex was part of the best defence in Lique 1 last season with PSG. Baines is part of a solid Everton defence, forget about England. Even Rooney looks average when playing for England
I don't know joga, your full-backs are only adequate defensively and bob has some serious firepower out wide. That's his best hope of pulling it off. On the other hand your wingers are equally good and you've got a stronger engine room. Plus I think Jimmy will run riot against that particular formation.
Bob has a chance depending on what tactics he employs. His team is immense down the wings, Joga's full backs will struggle with overloads. He has so much attacking talent to unleash himself though he'll be hard to stop. Sexy front 4 plus Vidal.
The fact I have to give my new formation to the opposing manager is a little disconcerting... no peeping Joga
This is borobob's new formation: Yes, it might just keep James Rodríguez quiet now, but then again I've always got Marco Reus or Ángel Di María to step up.
Any mate, I am out and about so cant do it myself..If you make it shite I won't look at you accusingly AT LATE NOTICE I WILL TAKE WHATEVER I CAN GET.
I take it the original post is the correct line ups? This game would be so open that it'd be utterly brilliant to watch Hazard/Coentrao and Bale/Coleman would destroy Joga's full backs on the break. Joga's team is a bit shaky defensively, but his firepower is ridiculous. I can't see the likes of Bender and Perez living with Hamez, Reus and Di Maria. 5-3 to Joga.
Bob's side is the best in the draft on the flanks where his team looks awesome but lacking a bit down the middle for me. Not enough defensively to live with Joga's 5 match winners who are gonna be hard for any team to stop. the poll isn't public on this one btw
