Not half bad, is it?
An excellent goalkeeper. Talent and experience in defense. An excellent and explosive midfield. And deadly young attackers.
With Gerrard as captain, of course.
I was just having fun with the Telegraph Fantasy Football application and this is the team I came up with. Mind you, it was not easy as there is a limit of £50m to spend.
But, once more, it’s not half bad, is it?

Arbeloa in DR position is yet to convince.;o)
Your two CM are world-class but who will play the holding midfielder role? Since both are attacking midfielders.
I would go for one attacking midfielder and one defensive say (Mascherano or Hargreaves). ;o)What you say?
Cheers.

Arbeloa is a very good fullback. He knows how to defend and is not bad going forward. And he is still young.
As for Gerrard and Fabregas in central midfield, I also thought about who will have the defensive duty but I said to myself that they were both mobile enough to cover the whole of midfield. But it’s true that another formation would have been a 4-1-4-1 with Mascherano as DM and only Torres upfront.
Fantasy football is great, isn’t it?

Football Manager 2007 or FM2008 is even better.
The best manager simulation game ever.
I think it mounts on MAC also. ;o))
Have you played that game before?
Btw, good news for Arsenal rivals, they drew their match in hand.
Cheers.

Of course, I knows about CM and FM being the football maniac that I am
I have owned (i.e. bought at Amazon) at least three different versions over the years.
I stopped playing FM about 2 years ago though. I just felt that, after years and years of addiction, I had lost interest.
