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.

Moe's side has the forward line to better anybody elses bar mine imo, hence why his side is rated so highly. I rate Triggers side very highly, but I'm unsure as to how many votes they'll get because of the age of his team in relation to the forum demographic.

I think I and many others got it right in going for strikers first, although I'd have loved to have got 4 incredible defenders and see what people thought of my side then.

You wanted to trade Gerrard which clearly shows you have doubts. And you're right top have them, as Gerrard of 99-2002 was nothing but a good player...you picked a good player on your second pick, which is outrageous. The idea that Vieira and Gerrard, both athletic players, will run the midfield to the extent where they're totally dominant, is such a myth.

As for Owen, a top player in his prime, good pick, but Ian Wright you completely overrate - What did he do internationally? What did he do in Europe? Credentials are pretty important, and every single one of my picks thus far have them. All CL winners.

Your team is looking like a skint man's Ant and a poor man's Moe. At least mine will have an element of uniqueness to actually compete, opposed to fall short of the aforementioned teams.
Gerrard was a vastly superior player to the players that partnered Vieira during 01-02 and 03-04, and we dominated every single midfield that season. You just don't understand football, that's why you don't rate Gerrard of 98-2002. The orthodox duties of any central midfielder is to win the ball, defend the middle of the park, and pass the ball effectively to the wide areas and strikers. Gerrard could do this very, very effectively. Like I said, he was a poor man's Vieira. Now days Gerrard is a #10, a player who's main job is to create chances, something Gerrard does not do to a world class level, yet you rate him higher now than you ever did. It just underlines your lack of knowledge.

More lack of knowledge from you is rating Michael Owen higher than Ian Wright when in fact Michael Owen is just a poor man's Wright. Both players were fantastic runners, however Wright was FAR better at using the channels than Owen, who was at his best splitting the CBs. Wright is more effective off the ball than Owen. INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL MEANS FVCK ALL IN THIS GAME.

As for you poor man's Ant team, your completely wrong, both teams are very close. His strikers are a little better simply because he has Ronaldo. My central midfield is better. He has picked Hagi as his wide midfielder. Good player wide, but he barely ever played there during his romp, and almost never at Galatasaray. So Pires pisses on him. His RB is better going forward, but Lee Dixon is no doubt better defending. He hasn't picked CBs yet, so I doubt he could get better than what I have, and he has no chance of getting a better LB. So actually, I would say I have the best team thus far. You are not even top 7.

i know the name of the game is talk up your teams to death but imo im not even top 3

honestly wright and owen up front isnt the best pairing and i think thats the only reason why you wont win this. if i were you i would swap wright for an aerially strong striker to get the best out of owen
WHY CAN PEOPLE NO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DO NOT NEED AERIAL PRESENCE UP FRONT. THAT IS WHY ENGLAND HAVE ALWAYS FAILED INTERNATIONALLY. TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON POWER, NOT NEARLY ENOUGH ON MOVEMENT.

i know :whistle:


but seriously a wright owen partnership doesnt strike me with fear. wright thrived off bergkamps creativity while owen was most successful with heskey/ a big striker. that is a fact. individually they may be lethal but together imo it will be a big miss

btw dont swap gerrard, for some reason i think him and viera would work well together

Hagi is playing in the centre, and my strikeforce is unparalleled, you must be severely underrating Batistuta if you think Owen or Wright are better players...

You also forgot to mention how solid my midfield is, yet maintaining an unbelieveable amount of creativity, and having the greatest ever full back to provide great width...

Yes, seriously. Cafu was NEVER a great defender. Dixon was easily better defensively.

I really have no chance in this game if people are going to show this much bias against me. We should find a third party to vote on the teams.

You've watched a couple of old Liverpool games under Houllier and now have it in your head that Gerrard was a superb CM. He was very good, at best, and that makes your first pick a poor one. A CM's job is not just to win the ball back and distribute to wide areas, it does help if they have other aspects in their armoury. Gerrard of 99-02 was a lanky powerhouse and nothing more, and putting him next to another lanky powerhouse, albeit a class one, is not really the answer. You're trying to create something that isn't there.

Owen was a better player than Wright in his romp. Ballon D'or for a reason, and an England hero for good reason too. The fact Wright was unable to get onto the England scene speaks volumes, and although not his fault that he couldn't produce on the European stage, it does help in raising a player's stature and testing their true greatness.

LMFAO. Are you making the rules? Every game of competitive football played should be taken into account. Quite simple really.

My midfield is absolutely outstanding whilst being perfectly balanced. The problem with your side is, you don't have a truly special player, and I'm talking about a truly special player. I have Ronaldinho, Zizou has Henry, Ant has Ronaldo, GB has Zidane...
