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.

Not a fan of Podolski out wide at all mate

I have to agree, and unless Sanchez picks up form over the summer (...) then he won't get you very good votes either.

ok may look to get a new LW in

like my midfield trio

ok cheers rest of team?

--------------------Adler-----------------------
Carvajal---Subotic---Papadopolous---Schmelzer
----------------Bender-----------------------
--------Gundogan---Mkhitaryan---------------
Shaqiri--------------------------Gaitan/Bernard
----------------MANDZUKIC--------------------

Looks a lot better to me. Need to build depth now

lw imo never been a fan of Gaitan, a bit over rated, Bernard not ready to start

Just my opinion tho

plus would tend to play Gundog beside Bender and Mkhit further forward

--------------------Forster
Srna -------Jagielka --- Mbiwa -- Marcelo
------------- Capoue --- Cabaye
Sturridge------------Cazorla --------Muniain
----------------------Huntelaar

Alternatively

------------------------Forster
----------Jagielka - Mbiwa - Amorebieta
Srna ------Capoue --------Cabaye -------- Marcelo
------------------------Cazorla
-------------Huntelaar --Llorente or Sturridge

definitely need atleast one CB

That'll all work itself out in my tactics mate

Seconded, I think that's where you need to target in that team, the rest is solid.

Muniain was terrible pretty much all season mate

so


thoughts on my mid trio?

Amorebieta will get ripped to shreds at Fulham too.

not much wrong with that Marky, never thought much of Asenjo but no one really pays much attention to Gk's

I've still got reservations about Jonny Evans tbh.

Other than that its fairly orgasmic

Marky you know who'd look really good in that new CM slot? PaulScholes+.

General question

Hunterlaar or Llorente if was to 1 upfront?

Huntelaar for votes, Llorente irl.

I did enquire about him but would take more than I can offer to get him from you!

What are you suggestions/improvements for my line up

-------------- Abbiati
-- Santana -- Dante -- Dede
Rafael -------------------- Filipe
------ Vidal -- Luiz/Montolivo
--- Pedro/Giovinco -- Reus
------------- Damiao

Sell me Abbiati is one improvement

I would play Luiz at CB and drop Dede

Personally if i were you id go

-------------Abbiati
Rafael ---Luiz --- Dante---Filipe
----------Vidal -Monty
Pedro --------Gio-------Reus
------------Damiao

The width would suit Damiao not tucked in behind

would play Giovinco left and Reus central

Gregers
As has been said, get a CB. If I had to say somewhere else, probably Soldado. Quality midfield though. Maybe find an inside forward type RW and play Isco deeper to go 4-3-3 but that's a little idea.

Soddy
I prefer the second, would look to improve on Lucas who has been good in flashes but not consistently due to injuries, I'd try to upgrade on Lamela and Balotelli if anywhere. 4-5-1 is the way to go.

Olly
Disagree with the Gaitan dissing, I really like him Would like to see Mhktarian higher up and Reus central. Full backs could do with improving.

Fan
Sanchez and Podolski are good on paper but off form IRL and I would get a very top class CM and improve at LB.

Nando
The first of the two is much better, not a fan of Sturridge shunted out wide though and would improve on the keeper and get a CB. Mbiwa hasn't done it at Newcastle.

Marky
Looks very strong but Asenjo, Evans would be where you can improve.

Elmo
I would play Luiz in a sweeper system with a back four if I were you, Vidal and Montolivo in midfield.

Opinions please, have a backup LB in mind to sign:

-----------------------Neuer-----------------------
Debuchy-----Barzagli------Chiellini------Matheiu
---------Sissoko-----Bender------Moutinho------
---------Pastore---Ibrahimovic---Schurrle-------

Back-Up XI

-----------------------Begovic----------------------
Caceres----Madlung----------Astori-------???????
Costa--------Schone------Cambiasso----Barnetta
-------------------------Meier-----------------------
--------------------Berbatov------------------------

On the starting XI I think you're hoping Sissoko/Debuchy find form at the start of next season for Newcastle. They were poor last season tbh. Other than that, maybe upgrade LB. You got the worst Bender

Backup wise you need another striker imo

Fixed for you

I agree with Olly on Sissoko and Debuchy. I also think the forward line is imbalanced as Pastore is left sided (central AM) really if you ha to put him wide. You could do with a right sided am

May I ask for people's thoughts on my team in the other league on where I could improve for season 2?

--------------------- Friedel
Walker ---- McAuley - Samuel ------ Cole
--------- Xavi ------ Kehl ---- Pirlo
------------- Gerrard -----Totti ----
------------------ Di Natale

Subs: Pinto, Giggs, Scholes, Henry, Ronaldinho, Duff, Gera

What do we think?

Helton
Danilo---Papadopolous---Dante---Sandro
Capoue---Maher
Shaqiri ---Draxler---Rodriguez
Jovetic

Centre mid first for me. Both good players but they stick out as the easiest to upgrade. Then the full backs.

Just use the team I put out last game. It's pretty much spot on

Will comment on all teams tomorrow

Can I get updated feedback (promise I will comment on all others at lunch/this evening)


De Gea
Ivanovic - Garay - Chiellini - Baines
Alonso - Khedira
Dzagoev - Isco - Lavezzi
Soldado

Can't fault it. Next improvement would be Dzagoev and Soldado.

Asenjo

Zabaleta - Evans/Sokratis - Vidic - Alba

Martinez - Fernandinho

Willian - Michu/Pjanic - Rodriguez

Lewandowski

Very pleased with my CM partnership

Good side. The league is going to be tight this season and I think my kids might struggle

Is it too late for the runners to block my deals and give me back all my players

not so sure on Dzagoev on the right, more central imo

2nd best cm partnership on the league

In all seriousness the only place you can really improve that is to improve your can

Ahamada, Nkoulou, Chabolah, Strootman, Fischer, Weimann, Podolski

Your CM would get dominated physically by a lot of others in the league. I would definately have Strootman in there over Clasie

-------------------------Neuer-------------------------

Rubbish

Very strong, only issue is how Coentrao was rated as too attacking to be a fullback before he was sold to lawyers, but with Marcelo and Alba in the league he's probably par for the course these days!

And easily one of the best strikers in the league, that'll earn loads of votes.

Yeah

Stroots-Maher

will be my cm partnership

I think you have a lovely can, Marky.

The kids are currently looking like this...


Subs: Butland, Shaw, Ocampos, Florenzi (older brother), Xhaka, Icardi, Kovacic

Left at school: Digne, Vermijl, Ocampos, Zaha, Locadia

Although formation is very much still up in the air, as is the inclusion of the likes of Xhaka, Kovacic, Icardi

The kids are alright

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

This is how I look right now if I was forced to pick a best XI:
