    You're choices are interesting, but I'd swap out Schevshenko for Ibrahimovic or Larsson. As good as he is, Ukraine is not gonna get far in this tournament.

    Also, I'd consider changing Lehmann in, Robinson out. Probably switch out Beckham too. Beckham probably won't perform at this cup, he never does, and Robintson. Well, there's plenty of goalies better than him in the cup, let's leave it at that.

    Robinson is a very under-rated keeper. He rarely does anything wrong, is a terrific shot-stopper and instills confidence in a defence. Plus, England don't concede many goals, we never do really. It was a toss up between an Italian, German or English keeper.

    And Beckham is an assist-machine. He's always been good at set-pieces, but lately for England he's been unbelievable. Whenever a ball goes into the box, it's so hard to defend and England have big guys this year. We'll get a lot of goals from corners/free kicks/crosses from his boot, I guarantee you.

    Oh, and I'll rpboably swap Shevchenko after the group stage (if I remember).

    Do 6you actually know how fantasy football works Rutkowski? :shake:

    And, teek, all it is is that your players get points for assists/goals/tackles/saves depending on where they play. For the start, it's just for the group games. As soon as the group games are over you can re-pick your team, or make transfers. So you can pick Spainish players, then get rid if they don't get far.

    Comprende? ;)

    forutkowski is my Yahoo ID.

    Also, I say we don't trade players anywhere, removes some of the fun. If you made picks, you stick with them.

    If you say so, I was just reading the rules. We can do it whichever way you like (the actress said to the bishop!)

    spireite_uk9 is my Yahoo ID.

    And teek, if I were you I'd swap Kahn for Buffon. Klinsmann has already said that Lehmann is his first choice keeper.

    Play 3-4-3, Gaz. Defenders aren't going to get many points I reckon! I suppose it depends on what they are classing as a 'tackle'.

    But I'd stick Zizou or Ronaldo in there anyway, in place or Fedorov or Silvestre.

    Isn't the World Cup all about defence, given how few goals get scored (except against the minor teams)?

    Not really, there's always plenty of goals. There should be this year anyway. But what you need to do is look at the scoring rules. Defenders lose a lot points for fouls, yellow cards and only gain 1 points for tackles. I can't see many defenders actually finishing in positive numbers. Mids and forwards will be the high scorers, because they only really lose points for cards, and gain a lot from assists and goals.
