btw, what do you guys think about the Fifa Pro XI?

To be more precise, do you think Alves, Ramos, Xavi, Iniesta are deservingly part of it instead of Alaba, Dante, Gündogan, Schweinsteiger/Martinez?

Iniesta deserves his place but the others don't.

Iniesta ? YES the others? NO

Dortmund/Bayern bunchs deserved to be there more.

The line up is retarded.
No Alaba, Lahm on the left, Alves on the right... Ramos instead of Dante. lol
No DM. Expected
Xaviesta again. No way Xavi should be there; Iniesta could but there were credible alternatives
Front line-up is a no brainer, but I don't think it is tactically sound.

I wouldn't even have objected to Iniesta not being in it, especially considering his weak form after the summer. He's still among the 3-5 best players in the world, but there were other midfielders who would be equally deserving.

Good, seems like most here share my sentiment. This is why I like this forum so much, despite not being a Barca fan. Much more reasonable people present than on other international football websites, especially compared to the likes of trollz.com

Definitely not.

I would replace Alves with Alaba, Ramos with Dante, Xavi with Busquets, Iniesta with Schweinsteiger and Zlatan with Muller.

Casillas 2nd? Alves even before Lahm?? Alaba even BEHIND Luiz, Pique and Marcelo? Schweinsteiger 8th????

I'm sorry, this is just too much
My BS detector just exploded.
