Season 3 - Team Feedback

First topic message reminder :

Use this page to post your current team, ask for feedback on formations, and see where you generally need to improve ahead of the new season.

As always, don't just be a taker. You have to give feedback on others' teams or the whole premise will break down like Azzy when he thinks there has been a bad deal.

I'd look for another winger though. Oxo is available

Really? I looked at Oxo, but thought I was a bit lopsided with more creative players, with Zaha, Ocampos, Kovacic and Florenzi not getting in the side). Was going to focus on the defence

Abbiati
Rafael - David Luiz - Dante - Felipe Luis
Vidal - Pogba
Pedro - Reus - Insigne
Damiao.

What are your thoughts on my starting XI?

I don't think it's lopsided, it depends how you want to play. For an U21 winger/attacker though, I think Oxo could be a handy piece. As long as you have someone like De Rossi balancing the middle you'll be fine. Your back 3 is top drawer though.

Good work Russ.

I'm personally not a fan of Pogba at all (otherwise I would have snapped him up for my U21s), so would look to improve there.

Alternatively, Joel in goal and Piszczek at RB

I can't pick a winner of the Premier League this season. All the teams that are posted are so evenly matched.

Good side GSC. I love the balance of the CM three. Others have big names, but yours looks like it would work beautifully together. For me, that is the best central midfield in the league.

Next improvements look to be LB and LW

Ill post mine up to be depressed then

---------------------Forster
Srna -----Jagielka------Badstuber --Marcelo
-------------Capoue ----Cabaye
Muniain-------------Hernanes--------Cazorla
-------------------Huntelaar

Kind of torn between playing Badstuber with his long term injury or Mangala

I'd play Mangala, rate him highly (hence why I originally bought him into the league)

I think Cazorla is better fitted to being a CAM

Maybe

--------Capoue - Cabaye ---Hernanes---------
--------------------- Cazorla -----------------------
--------- Huntelaar --------- Llorente ----------

Definately Mangala over Badstuber for me.

Mangala was a steal at the price you paid

I had my eye on Mangala as well

He was the reason i stayed up originally saw him on the list and then checked and was 7.5m then i spotted Hernanes so went for both

I think you need a proper winger in place of Cazorla who has shown his best form for Arsenal in the middle. Other than that, use Srna and Marcelo as wingbacks?

Forster
Mangala - Jagielka - Badstuber
Srna --------------------------------- Marcelo
Cazorla - Capoue - Hernanes
Huntelaar - Llorente

Im not sure that would work seems a bit attack overload

I agree that Cazorla is best used in the middle, out wide he's decent, but nowhere near as effective imo
