TEAM STOBZILLA
The Wonky Christmas tree, 4-3-2-1 it isn't neat by any standard but it is reflective of how it would look in game.
Added to the midfield for this game is Clarence Seedorf who makes up part of trio including Davids and Juan Sebastien Veron, Davids offers defence for days married to his driving forward runs and good distribution, next to him is another willing box-to-box worker in Veron. A fantastic passer of the ball, also wasn't afraid of getting his foot stuck in, one swing could launch a counter attack and he would look for and find Robben given the opportunity. Seedorf is one of the most decorated players in history, similar to Davids he is technique married with a tireless engine who offers slightly more in attack, a perfect compliment to an already stellar group
Zidane - He had everything, there is no shoe horning him in like he has been in previous drafts, here he plays as he should, between the lines with licence to drift, if he is to drift left as he was inclined to, he interchanges with Balakov taking his position centrally, an equally dangerous proposition. Arjen Robben offers almost unreal pace to the point he can give others a 3-4 yard start, the ability to beat a man either side off the dribble and can cut inside and provide a killer pass or launch a rocket of a shot off his left foot. His pace combined with Zidane's intelligence will cause havoc between the lines and Robben also can hold the width to provide variety.
Giuseppe Signori - 188 goals in 345 games at the height of Serie A and Italian defensive dominance tells you that he is a threat. with so much service behind him he will get opportunities and he will get goals.
Van Der Sar starts in goal, a master organiser of the defence and mainstay for Manchester United's most sustained period of success under Sir Alex Ferguson, he has the ever reliable Denis Irwin running the left flank all day, genuine under-appreciated world class on either flank and came out on top against virtually every winger he came up against. He locks down the left side with his running mate for so many years on that side Gary Pallister, extremely quick and an intelligent, technical user of the ball as well, he has the rare honour of being a defender named PFA Player of the year. Partnering him is Ciro Ferrara again, a technically accomplished, brave defender who was not lacking for pace either. Another great organiser of the defence who will keep a leash on young rookie Serge Aurier.

My team is set up in a pretty simple 4-2-3-1. I will play a high tempo game to get the most out of my brilliant front line which has creativity and goals in abundance. Del Piero will have licence to cut in, safe in the knowledge that Abidal will stay back and cover for him. While on the the other side Figo and Ibarra will be a nightmare to defend against, creating massive overloads for their fullback to deal with. Redondo will be dictating the tempo and feeding my attackers while Cambiasso cleans up and gets stuck in to Stobz's players. I am aware that my defence is the weakest point in the team but I plan on dealing with that by pretty simply scoring more than stobz. Ibarra has licence to roam forward while Abidal will stay back and cover for Vidic and Koscielny when they move over to protect my more vulnerable right side.
