That is one hell of a midfield and strike force, I must say. And Senna is great, and Juninho is a good backup as well. Still don't know why anyone besides Wenger even rates Barcary Sagna. I can never see why everyone is raving about him. Never stood out, IMO.
I only chose Fletcher because he starts often, and works hard. United have a strong team this year and I think they'll do alright against Inter. Never has an awful game, and is fairly consistent. If he does alright his value goes up (you did know that, right, that the values go up and down if a player does well?), I'll give him the boot and probably bring in someone I rate a tad bit higher, Essien is coming back next month and if he's on the CL roster I'll pick him up for sure. I also don't know why Benzema is valued at like 6 or 6.5 million, he's a wonderful prospect and has been decent this season. I think he wants to give Lyon one more shot at the CL and will look to score a ton with Lyon, like he did last season. Hopefully he'll be good. And I hope to god Messi lives up to his pricetag, 12 million could be spent much better if he doesn't do all that well, but the only thing is that his value could be knocked down after a few poor performances. I've got my fingers crossed.
It also seems that we've both built our midfields around Franck Ribery and Xavi. A great central pairing, eh? I think Barcelona could win the whole thing this year and that's why I've got my side built around Xavi, and Ribery is damn good as well and always performs well. However, I've got a few gaps in it, as Nasri is a great player but really hasn't done a whole lot as of late. Hopefully he'll find form and bag a few for the Arse. Ramsey is alright as well but I doubt he'll get much time in. And beyond that, I have absolutely ZERO depth on my bench in terms of the midfield. My defense is a bit lacking as well, Charrager is good, but Ramos is inconsistent at best and even though Chivu is playing alright, and had a good game this weekend I think he's been a shadow of the player that he was at Roma. On my bench, Mexes is good but I think he's in hot water at Roma and not really playing as well as he can. I just bought Pepe, who, like Ramos, can be flat-out brilliant and can be one of the best in the world on his day (remember the Barcelona game last season, at the Nou Camp? When Diarra scored? Pepe was incredible that day, and basically shut down Barcelona's attack all by himself), but is somewhat inconsistent and won't probably do anything special this time around. I could sit around and ***** about how my strikers could be a bit off, but when you've got two of the best strikers in the world, you've got to be atleast somewhat satisfied.
I guess the biggest asterisk in my lineup or on my roster is Benzema. How he pans out, I don't know. I can only hope. I just hope to the lord that Essien gets back and plays a few CL matches, as I would absolutely love to have him in my team at the moment in place of Fletcher.
