I needed something to break up the usual talk amongst ourselves regarding the everyday life that is living in a pandemic. That being said, I hope you lot are doing well and if anyone needs to talk, vent, whatever my messages are always open!!

I thought this was a fun thing to day so I decided on my XI:

Cudini | Cole, Lebouef, Clarke, Ivanovic | Makalele, Essein, Mata | Hazard, Dixon, Robben

What say you? Did I get it just right? Or horribly, horribly off the mark?

Man, that's tough. I went in with Cech, Zola and Lampard as my "untouchables", and I still had to drop Cech to make room in the budget. TBH I could probably pick a 5-a-side team out of the $5 players and back them in a full 11 a side game against some teams in our league...

                    Bonetti

Brana Le Bouef Marcel Azpi

                Maka Essien

Robben         Zola          Mata

                  Tambling

The fact Courtois is even on the list let alone the second best keeper makes me upset. Considering he has no legs, being a snake and all, he was very easy to nutmeg. 

                   Cudicini

Clarke | Desailly | Leboeuf | Le Saux

      Essien | Makelele | Lampard

     Robben  | Dixon | Mata

 

2+1+3+1+4+2+3+5+1+2+1 = 25

Was torn with having Hazard instead of Lamps, but couldn't resist that midfield. Could do with a cheaper option for left back really, but didn't want to play Azpi there out of position, and there isn't really anyone else ...

Daves position is somewhere in defence. He has no natural position anymore!

11 Daves would fit the budget with change left over,,,,,

 

         Cudicini

Clarke  - Ivan - Desailly  -  Dave

         Makalele

 Essien - - Lampard 

           Mata

Robben - Dixon

 

 

 

Just seeing now I'm pretty much copying @Sexyfootball midfield/forwards but went with a diamond instead of the 4-3-3 ...pace up top, power & creativity in the middle (goals too) .....was thinking of going with Conte's 3 at the bank but can't afford the wing-backs!

                    Cudicini

Ivanovic Desailly Lebouf Azpilicueta

                 Makelele
Robben        Mata          Pulisic

    Osgood              Drogba
 

Attack!

                     De Gooey

         Brana  - le Beouf  -  Dave

Robben  -   Lamps (C)-   Maka -   Wise

  Zola    -    Tambling    -   Pulisic

           

1+1+1+2+1+5+3+1+4+3+3=25

 

Virtually impossible at $25
 

                                   Ed De Goey
Dave           Lebouef                      Terry           Ivanovic

               Essien             Wise           Lampard

                Robben             Dixon         Di Matteo 

This was far harder than I expected:

 

CUDICINI    2

AZPILICUETA    2
IVANOVIC    2
DESAILLY    3
MCCREADIE    3

MAKELELE    3
ESSIEN        2

ROBBEN        1
ZOLA        4
MATA        1

DIXON        2

I've assumed RLC is free.

That midfield is of nightmares
