Your World Xi- With A Catch

Lampard and Baines? No Messi or Ronaldo?

Are you mad?

--------------Messi
Bale-------------------------Ronaldo

----Schweinsteiger--Yaya
----------------Pirlo

Enrique---Vidic--T.silva----Sagna

---------------Lloris

try that for size. (*open to replacing Enrique for any better suggestions)

I don't see why people keep putting in Enrique when Baines has been better than him and Alba starts ahead of him for Spain.

I'd take Enrique over Baines - not much in it. I just think Enrique's better defensively. As for Alba, I could put him in,though iirc dualta said he's not convinced lb is his best position...

edit: i did say I was open to suggestions

Lloris
Ivanovic Vidic T.Silva Alba
Yaya De Rossi
Robben Messi Ronaldo
Van Persie

Not to sure about the full backs, not sure if they are worthy of getting into the team or not.

I've never personally seen Alba. It's just that he starts ahead of him although that could be down to the league he plays in.

I think Enrique couuld be a better player but he just hasn't shown it consistently. He was awesome in the first few months of the season but has tailed off. Baines meanwhile has been very consistent for quite a number of years

Yes I have heard of Messi and Ronaldo, thanks for asking. If you had read the first page correctly you would have found out that you can't have two players from the same team in your World XI so because I have Dani Alves I can't have Messi.

As for Ronaldo, well, I thought I had Marcelo at left-backn when I was typing it. I could put Ronaldo there instead of Bale though.

Refer to my other comment.

So you have Alves over Messi? Still don't get why you have Lampard, he is terrible, he struggles to get into the Chelsea team.

Pretty sure I read the first page correctly....considering I started the thread.

And all I was doing before you incorrectly highlighted a mistake was questioning how you could exclude the two best players in the planet. So you value Dani Alves as a right back more for your team, than Messi? And the same with Ronaldo (even though you didn't eventually put Marcelo in- perhaps you should 'correctly' checked your final team).

I think you may not quite have gotten it right

Is it me you are referring to, HD?

yeah - you might want to finish reading what the "catch" is

Ooooooooooooooooohhh!

I've been smoking right now....so I'm a bit illiterate

Martinez

Kagawa Modric

Lampard has and will always be a brilliant player. Just because he has his critics doesn't mean he isn't a good player, Chelsea's up turn in fortune is probably because Lampard has started playing most if not all the important games.

EDIT: He has a great knack of getting goals too, doesn't he average more than 20 goals a season or something?

May as well give it a go.

Buffon

Sagna Kompany Vidic Alba

Modric Martinez

Gotze

Robben Messi Ronaldo

Nothing wrong with this team in my opinion.

Top three interchanging and I could have easily put in Modric for Hamsik and he is probably a better play no doubt but whenever I see hamsik play, I enjoy his silky style of playing so put him in for the fun of it. Still my team would own
the lot of ya's
