I've to admit that i'm a little puzzled by the lack of extra class in my team. I mean my teams contains Iniesta and Nasri who are probably the amongst the classier players in the world whereas Mueller was the Golden Boot winner at the WC and Sahin has probably been the best midfielder in German League this season. Drogba can destroy any defense on his day. So I think my attack is pretty good. My defense is good and the presence of Song gives it even more solidity. Although, the main weakness of my team is the bench which I admit is weak(a brainfart on my part).
DE's midfield and attack are very good but the defense is poor tbh. Rodwell is not even a defender and while Sakho is a central defender and only deputizes as a left back when necessary(sorta like Evans at left back). Vermaelen himself is not that great at defending, his poor positioning last season even cost Arsenal some goals.
Sorry DE!. But you started it :P
Lets start with the GK who I don't think have been mentioned yet. Cech is arguably the best keeper in the world whereas Neuer was third choice for Germany just a couple years ago, has not played for a big club and only got the starting role at the WC because of an Injury to my substitute keeper.
In defense both right back in Sagna and Ivanovic are very good. Ivanovic offers a bigger goal threat and can also play center half but Sagna is very good at bombing forward as well. I think Vermaelen's injury has reduced his stock quite considerably. He was in the team of the year last season and being only 25 I'd have him over any of Km's center halves. Sakho is a bit of an unknown but he has captained France at all youth levels and at 21 is a huge prospect. Rodwell is definitely my weak link at the back. He started out his career at the back and was even touted as the next Rio at one stage but it is definitely not his best position. I do think KM has a better defense though not by a huge amount.
Midfield is Song,Sahin,Nasri vs Schweinsteiger--Lampard--Alonso. I think my midfield has more steel and experience than KM's especially when you consider that all three of his players have had only about 2-3 seasons between them where they were at the very top of their game whereas all three of my players have been regarded as the best at what they do for almost 15 years between them. Plus my bench has Bale and Wilshere whereas his has fletcher and Aquilani!!
Up top its a trio of Iniesta-Drogba-Mueller vs Aguero-Torres-Messi. I think my attacking options are clearly superior so I won't go on about it much.
Just want to add that my average age of my squad is under 24 which is a lot better than KMs.
