your perfect XI

I dont know if any of you have heard of the magazine FourFourTwo, but in there, there is a section where they ask people who there perfect line up would be, a few substitutes, and the manager, but they have to answer in a 4-4-2 format. So i just wanna know, whats your perfect 11 in todays game.

when i play FIFA i love using the
4-3-1-2

I think its the best formation ever.
It gives you a diamond defense in the back with a sweeper,stopper, and two wingbacks. Then you get a flat midfiel with a defensive center midfielder, and two winger midfielders. Then you have the KAKA,SCHOLES, or ZIDANE. Yes, the Center attacking midfielder (MY FAV. POSITION). Then you have your two strikers up top. I like this formation because it caters the needs of the Defensive midfielder and the attacking midfielder. You have a formidable number of players uptop and a decent defence on counters. I think that this formation generally has no major weaknesses except being a man down in the midfield when the opposing team has 4 midfielders. But then again it gives both the Def. and Atk. Midfielders a great role and in my case is a perfect role.

here's my perfect team (4-4-2 with 2 substitutes for each position)

KEEPER
Casillas, Buffon, Cech

DEFENSE
F. Cannavaro, Marquez, Terry, Cocu, Maldini, Dabizas

MIDFIELD
Zidane, Ronaldinho, Makelele, Totti, Davids, Nedved

FORWARD
Eto'o, Shevchenko, Owen, Henry

i know i probably forgot a lot of good players who deserve to be on here. when i read it again tomorrow, i know i'll see a million mistakes, so feel free to give me criticism. it's pretty late though.

Would be great if our teams could meet CFREALMADRID. I predict my team would win because of great possession players in the great Xavi and Ronaldinho, also best finishers in the world, Eto'o and Pizarro.

FCBarcelona · Post 31 Mar 2005, 23:55

Forwards- Henry, Eto'o
Midfield- Nedved, Davids, Ronaldinho, Ljungberg
Defense-Ashley Cole, Puyol, Sol Campbell, Thuram
Keeper- Buffon

subs
Forwards- Adriano, Crespo
Midfield- Pires, Viera, Guily
Defense- Gallas, Stam
Keeper- Cech, Jaskaleinan (sp?)

Manager: Arsene Wenger

I would also use the 2003/2004 Arsenal squad. Any team that goes undefeated is a dream team. That stat alone is unheard of.[/u]

Cech
Puyol Terry Rio Ferdinand Cole
C.Ronaldo Gerrard Viera Vicente

With the squad on my bench i guess i'm much like Mourinho but Wenger will be my manager
