Spain

Will be interesting to see how Rodri does. A lot of City's decline can be linked to his physical decline. Might be a risk to pair him with someone like Pedri.

Looks like terrible AI that.

All three CBs had a meh season at best, they're not even top players individually.

Players often so quickly go from being overrated to underrated because people have no limit...

Cubarsi at one point was overrated then people realized and started to underrate him, the CL game only added to that. That's where he is right now

He is a top player individually. Not best in the world CB or anywhere near that but probably one of best defense prospects in the world and a pretty reliable option at the back already.

 

[JamDav1982]

Cubarsi has been one of the best CBs in the world and best in Spain the past season and for time before that.

What's Fermin doing there


Like Jam says, it's AI

It's a photo of several months ago. The only addition with the use of AI is the inclusion of Gavi and Eric G lol

 

[Temptation]

Llorente is not underwhelming at all

The CBs are maybe the weak point but it's still two great footballers. Cubarsi despite the CL howler has had an otherwise fantastic second half of the season with Barça. Pubill been great for Atleti too

Hardly a WC winning back 4 that. Not a single world class player.

I'll admit Raya is the best GK in the world right now.

Especially happy to see Eric Garcia make it. Not many would have believed that before this season.

Argentina's back 4 last time around wasn't that impressive either.

 

[JamDav1982]

Real fans trying to make out those players just get picked as play for Barca.

Most of those players have won 2 league titles in a row and have won an intl tournament if count the Olympics also.

While likes of Joan Garcia has been best GK in Spain for last 2 seasons.

 

[Windhook]

Who do you got, Madrid fans? Ceballos? Huijsen? That kid who scored a goal during the American circus?

 

[Alik]

Bernal will also join the squad but as part of 9 young(ish) players there to support the team in training.

0 players from the royal capital team.

That front line is underwhelming as well.

 

[Khaled_a_d]

That front line is underwhelming as well.

If Nico and Lamine are healthy, it is still one of the best.
France has the best attack, I think Brazil and England next. After that I don't think there is better attacks.

 

[jamrock]

Masia/Barca does it again. 8 players.

Very balance team with players who can play multiple positions.

 

[JamDav1982]

Spain must surely have the most 'club like' atmosphere and set up there.

As have seen in past that can go a long way.

La respuesta de Huijsen tras quedarse fuera del Mundial

El central no entró en la lista de '26' de Luis de la Fuente después de una temporada marcada por los altibajos que ha vivido en su primer año como madridista

Dean throwing some shade at not being called up.

This is a bit of a L for Barca forum as well the amount of hype he was getting last summer. But odds are he comes good eventually.

The only person he could say he would replace in defense is Laporte, but he brings experience, everyone else in a position he could fill has been better than him this season.

 

[Loki]

He didn't call up Le Normand?
