Official Lyon representative
1st benzema is Ronaldo(brazil) and Zidane fan, he like Madrid, he like barca too... but i think he prefer madrid because Zidane played for madrid too.

that's a good team too imo except I would swap Xavi and Gerrard and have ASHLEY Cole instead of JOE Cole at left back
Cech for Valdes too.

^^ hahah sorry i meant Ashley Cole, not Joe
my bad
and i think Gerrard is of more use to the front than Xavi, Gerrard scores quite alot when hes near the goal with those just-out-of-the-pen-area-shots and Xavi is very good at taking the ball and winning it back so i disagree on that one with u..
And Valdes is pure class lately imo so I would still stick to him over Cech.. he's really been flawless lately..
cheers

also in my team, Xavi would take the corner kicks, and all short range free kicks, while I would leave the long-ranged free kicks to Ronaldo.. pens to Torres i suppose..
another good option for the left full-back would be Zhirkov imo..

Is he any good? I have never seen a video or seen him on TV.
English papers say he's a "Russian Ronaldinho".

well from what I've seen, he is very good going forward but has his bad moments in the defensive situations, he is very durable and has alot of stamina and a good ball control, with great field vision, but sometimes he falls out of play easily if he loses the ball going back.. so idk still about the left back.. is there any other players coming to mind?

In theory it should just be entirely made up of FCB players, but in the interest of fairness to other teams I have adopted the 6 Barça players plus 5 Non-Barça players rule
My Key Reasons why I have chosen this team and selected certain players over others:
Terry over Vidić - because he puts his body on the line every time he plays, throwing himself in front of the ball to block shots, risking personal injury for the cause. Rarely gives away fouls, superior at reading the game and is the best organiser of a back line. Vidić this season has proven to choke on the big occasion e.g. L’Pool Home and UCL final.
Piqué over Ferdinand - because he is the best ball-playing centre half. Rio is not technically as good and he hoofs the ball out of defence when put under little pressure. I need someone to relieve pressure from holding on to the ball and Pique does this best.
Yaya over Essien/Mascherano – Yaya is as strong as an Ox. He is technically proficient, is equally comfortable in possession and gives away the least amount of fouls - fact. Plus he is tall and can challenge for headers while the other two can’t coz they’re dwarfs. Incidentally Mascherano committed more fouls than ANY player according to UEFA’s stats http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/UCL/Statistics/Players/TypeStat=GS/index.html
Surely I don’t need to explain Xavi and Iniesta’s inclusion?
Some alternatives could have been Ronaldo, Kaká, Ribéry and Lampard, but as I am playing with the Barça system these players do not come into my thinking. However a player I admire, that would comfortably fit into the Barça style is Andrei Arshavin.
Xavi: My Playmaker – There isn’t another person who can perform this role as well, so there was only one choice. The best passer on the planet, he is the conductor of the midfield. He is intrinsic to how the team plays, everything goes through him.
20 Assists in 35 La Liga Appearances and 7 Assists in 12 Champions League games.
Iniesta has a direct approach that puts defenders on edge. Whenever he receives the ball at his feet he always lifts his head up looking for options and setting up attacks with his weaving dribbles and give-and-goes.
Messi. 38 Goals / 16 Assists in 41 Starts. There can be NO DOUBT that he is now the Best Footballer in the World.
Steven Gerrard – Best Second-Striker around. Never knows when he is beaten. Leads by example, scores goals from distance, cool head in the box. Full of energy and running.
Him and Torres as a partnership is simply irresistible The most free scoring double act in the EPL.
Fernando Torres – Scored 50 goals for Liverpool in his first two seasons, in less games than legends like: Keegan, Dalglish, Rush and Fowler. There is not a better out-and-out Centre Forward in the world. He can hold the ball up, is lightening quick, his movement is out of this world, technique is top notch, fantastic header of the ball, and attacks the six yard box. He would get into any team in the world.

I think Abidal is doing good, but he's still the weakest link in our team (and what a team we have!). I've seen Clichy and I think he is very good and will only get better. For the left wing I would like Pato, but Ribery is more experienced. There are players that could probably do a better job on CB than Puyol, but he is BARCA! And Ibrahimovic, yes?! Imo he does the most spectacular things on the pitch. He is not only a striker, he also assists, has a powerfull shot, he is strong, he can cover the ball, he has good vision and is as good dribbler as Iniesta and Messi. The money spent on him will be earned back with a bigger fan base, more sold shirts and more advertising etc.
