Please vote for your top five teams here in this thread. Order them from 1-5 and give a detailed explanation of why you're voting for the sides you are. 1st place takes five points, 2nd gets four, 3rd gets three, 4th gets two, 5th gets one.

The sides can all be found here - http://liquid-football.co.uk/topic/10083252/

Only serious votes will be counted.

1 - Ant - Basically a solid team throughout and an unreal midfield/attack. Little weak defensively compared to some of the other teams in this Top 5 but it's still good.

2 - MC - Comfortably the best defence, and not a shabby attack by any means. I think Ant's defence has a better chance of quelling his attack than MC's defence has of quelling Ant's attack.

3 - ManYou - That midfield is immense. And the front three would work rather well. Solid if not spectacular defence.

4 - Cule - Another very good midfield. The wide players, compared to ManYou's, are what has you finishing below him for me.

5 - DaG - Just about sneaking in ahead of KOL. Better front two and wide players, though KOL has a superior CM partnership. Class defence as well.

Sorry if this wasn't detailed enough but I am sure Ant will allow it for some reason.

Irrelevant.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Teams are being compared on their own merit and not how they'd perform against another draft team. I thought that would be even more obvious given the fact it's all against all and not specific match-ups.

It was a way of explaining why I picked Ant's team ahead of MC's, considering they had the best attack or defence in the draft. I think Ant's defence is more capable than MC's attack.

Then that is how you should have worded it :cheek:

Shouldn't have needed to because it's essentially saying the same thing.

1. ManYou. Possibly quite controversial to pick this team ahead of Ant's but I love the look of this team, you can tell he's put a lot of thought into the dynamics of this team. Perfect balance throughout, you have 2 CB's who would compliment each other perfectly. 2 full-backs who are excellent going forward, Alba particularly would link-up perfectly with Hazard all whilst having an excellent holding midfielder to cover as he goes forward. In midfield the balance is fantastic again, an excellent blend of qualities on show. I just can't fault this team at all; it's excellent.

2.Ant- In terms of pedigree this front 6 probably offers a bit more than MY's, particularly in that front 6 you see nothing but big game players and would work well with & without the ball. Ant has summed up the team well, I don't think I have anything to add. The reason it hasn't got 1st for me is that it doesn't look as assured in defence as MY's, in Shaw & Jones I just see 2 very young defenders who might have their lack of experience exploited at times and I don't see Dante (who at times is error-prone himself) as somebody who can hold their hands through the tough moments.

3.MidfieldC- Well, this team certainly won't concede many. It's missed out on my top 3 simply because I can see Higuain lacking in support. If you're gonna play a defensive game I think it might've been wise to pick a more direct winger just to make them a real threat on the counter. That would truly make them an unstoppable unit. Still, great side.

4.DaG- The attacking trio behind Sturridge is fantastic, The blend of players allows Messi to play any role that his team needs. Really little separating DaG and the 4 or 5 sides underneath him but the individual talent up front, particularly Messi, leaves DaG sneaking 4th. Befitting of LF's most well-known Arsenal fan.

5.Raiders- Much like DaG, a dangerous looking front 4 sneaks Raiders a place. Muller and Van Persie are two players blessed with terrific movement around the box, and in Iniesta & Koke you have players who will pick them out at will. Back 7 looks solid enough, if not spectacularly solid. Raiders gets my final vote.

Well done everybody.

I'll be voting today but it's going to require everyone's votes who's taken part to be completed.
