Season 2 - Team Feedback

Post your starting XI here and give feedback on others teams. Don't be selfish and only post yours and not give any feedback, it's unbecoming.

------------------ Caballero ------------------------
Azpiliceuta - Varane - Dominguez - Monreal
------------- Matuidi ---- Sissoko/Benat --------
Menez/Callejon ----- Isco ------------ Belhanda/Tello
-------------------- Soldado (c) ---------------------------

Thoughts on that please...

-------------------Palop
-----Vertonghen-Kaboul-Jagielka
Clyne--------------------------------Alba
---------Suarez-Pogba-Arteta
------------Benteke--Aspas

I'll provide feedback to teams in the Championship, but not to my rivals in the Premiership. Doesn't seem right.

Greggers, Belhanda better suits central IMO. Dominguez may need improving on.
Azpiliceuta & Monreal great going forward.
Soldado im a big fan of, cant speak for others.

Bang on. I agree & will do the same.

BTW GSC, you need to sell one of Pogba/Arteta to me

possibley a better Cb than dominguez but strong line-up

GSC - improvements I'd make are:

- a better keeper (although it doesn't matter too much, having a good name in goal does help)
- put Vertonghen on the left and Jagielka on the right, to match their preferred foot
- need a better RB imo, Clyne is okay going forward but shoddy at the back
- I was told that Pogba has an attitude problem, so you need to replace him as he'll get you negative feedback
- I'd play Aspas slightly withdrawn from Benteke

You have a very good core to build around though - Arteta, Alba and Benteke are fantastic players.

Clyne can be got at which leaves thta wing exposed, maybe some start power uptop,

Gregers...

Good keeper

Nice defence, maybe lacking a real enforcer and leader at the back.
Matuidi and Sissokho I like, although Sissokho has to keep it up at Newcastle and not fade like he did at Toulouse. Benat's form has dropped a little in the second half of the season, so I would put him behind Sissokho atm

Menez above Callejon definately. He was superb at the weekend for PSG.
Isco is the star of your team, without doubt.
Belhanda is a good AM, but I don't like him on the left. He drifts out of games and needs to be more involved in the middle.
Soldado - can't question his goal record. I've always thought he was a bit overrated, but he bangs them in for you and IRL so I am most probably wrong

bleeding hell star, basiclay get a gurentted goalscorer, benteke is good butim not totally convinced by him

Cherries:

- Bertrand isn't a good enough LB for this league, he can be exposed rather easily I reckon
- I'd improve on Gamberini too, I've seen him get done very easily this season
- not sure Asamoah in the middle is the best position for him?
- and I'd definitely invest in a new striker, neither are 'poachers' or guys who will automatically get you a goal.

Your core should be Lichtsteiner, Nocerino and Lamela.

I think you're missing a bigger threat upfront personally. Rest of the side looks alright, Bertrand a potential weakness at LB.

Solid in the centre and I'd start Tello for sure on one of the wings. Full backs are probably more at home attacking so you might want to ensure your tactics provide adequate cover for them and you aren't going short at the back.

How can you not be convinced by Benteke, he's been magnificent every single game this season. He's got strength, pace, finishing, heading, everything a striker needs. It's no co-incidence that a host of big clubs are being linked with him when he moves on in the summer. He's quality.

-----------------Romero
De Silvestri---Vidic---Evans---Filipe
---------Biglia---Verratti---Gago
---------El Sharaawy---Reus
----------------Osvaldo

When my loan players return:

Thoughts please.

or when I need to be more solid in the midfield

While I agree with Clyne being less effective defensively, I am using him as a wingback so I should get by I think.

Soddy:

- I'd swap Vidic and Evans around (doesn't Vidic play left side?)
- try and improve at RB
- Gago and Biglia aren't very well-watched, so they might not get you the votes they warrant
- not sure Osvaldo is the best ST for you, I'd put ES up front myself

Definitely the team to beat in the Championship, your core of Vidic-Verratti-Reus-El Shaarawy is outstanding

Marky, your midfield of Yohan Cabaye, Javi Garcia & Moussa Dembele looks great.

NEW GOALKEEPER!!!!!!!!!
rafeal is looking the part now so defence is solid
maybe a new DM
front 4 look lethal, (unforuantly for me )

In fact Soddy, I'd play Cassano up top with Reus and ES off him

First one looks formiddable. Pirlo and Marchisio have chemistry and the attacking three is strong. I still advocate an upgrade on Afellay; maybe I'm harsh on him but I think you can get better there.

I was thinking Vidic was the left sider when I wrote it out, so I will make sure to swap. RB is definitely my target for improvement next too.
I dithered with Osvaldo up top. I have other options, plus Hernanes in behind so I really could call it week to week.

Zebs:

- new keeper, absolutely.
- your full backs are quite attacking, going forward you'll be great but defensively you could be found out
- Mbia is not good enough for any team in this league now, he needs to go
- as you know I'm not a fan of Giovinco, I think he hides behind the rest of the Juve team

That core of Kroos, Blasz and Pedro is truly incredible though, top notch attacking threat there

And then we'll get injuries and it'll be all down to how good our back-up is

Will feed back some more later

David Villa

Strong overall, but maybe the chance to improve at the back. Not a definite, but it may struggle against some of the big boys in the league. Cabaye is great in the middle and I love Dembele, but I reckon they could actually work together as a two with an AM ahead of them. Maybe that's just me though.

Cheers for the comments guys. Ill see what I can work in the transfermarket

GSC, I would think to improve on Clyne, Aspas and Palop. Would consider selling Vertonghen in lawyers to get two or three good players.

Cherries, I would look to improve on the striker and I think Lamela should be on the wing. I'm not sure about the midfield, can't work out what but it feels like something's missing.

Soddy, I like that. I've never been a fan of Osvaldo though. Would look to improve on Gago.

Zebra, I think you have a very strong side going forwrd but you are in desperate need of a goalkeeper. You need to think about improving on M'Bia and Astori if anyone for me. I'm not a fan of Giovinco myself.

Have a few others sneaking around who could be starters too.

Trebs - Like your team. Good CB Pair, good hard working CM's. If Kagawa picks up in real life even better for you. Fullbacks & Wingers to improve next IMO, your central spine of the team is good & solid. Wingers are good but id say improve those next, Gaitan's was the best player in the world around here before now hes hardly mentioned. Shaqiri is doing ok at Bayerns tbf, with Robben now back from injury he may not feature as a starter & be limited to sub appearances.

If you had my wingers I reckon your team would be very dangerous lol.

Bit of a sleeper team there Trebs, hadn't realised you'd gathered so much talent. The only area maybe to improve would be on the wings but not urgently.

Electric Bugaloo part 2

---------------Julio Cesar
-----Jagielka-Dawson-Vertonghen
Piszczek------------------------------Alba
----------Arteta-Pogba-Suarez
-------------------Aspas
-----------------Benteke

GSC - my thoughts:

1. Pogba has a bad attitude, and you'll get marked down for having him
2. Suarez is the next place to improve
3. Then Aspas
4. Apart from that, it's a top-class team

Pogs just needed a hug.

Salvaged the mess of last year though

I think Aspas gets a bit of a raw deal.

He has probably done more than Benteke this season, but because it is in la Liga and not the Prem, Benteke gets a better rating.

No, it's because Benteke is frighteningly good. If you're a CB you don't want to be the guy that has to try to mark him. Aspas is good, but he's not in Benteke's league imo.

No, it's because Benteke is frighteningly good.

Agreed. Hes quite a big lad, strong & powerful, can be a nightmare for CB's

So who listened to their feedback and improved, and who ignored what we all said and hasn't done well?

I signed Herrera if that counts

You still have Pogba I notice

I signed Herrera if that counts

tHAT DOES INDEED. wAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SIGN HIM
