The Ultimate Game: Get Inside Guardiola's Head


With Frank Rijkaard you couldn't get any honour by predicting Barcelona's starting line-up. Even hockey moms could. But this has drastically changed this summer. Until this very day, nobody has been able to crack the code of Josep Guardiola's brain. Nor has anyone got inside his sleeves.

So this is your chance to prove not only your knowledge about the game of football but also your psychological insight:


PREDICT BARCELONA'S STARTING LINE-UP


This is not (as in: NOT, n-o-t! I warn you, Ramzi!) a place for discussion on team tactics or personal player preferences. You just give the system and the eleven names you think will start the game against Atlético Madrid tomorrow.

Don't forget to add your (nick)name by clicking Name/URL under the comment box and fill it in, otherwise your after-game claim to glory will be dismissed.

You can give your starting line-up until four hours before the start of the game, in this case: until 6 pm barcelona time.

Tough one .. but let me take a shot..

Valdes; Puyol; Marquez; Alves;
Abidal; Xavi; Keita; Busquets; Messi; Iniesta; Eto.

Abidal, Keita and Busquets we're rested last match so I think they will start. Pep seems to like Puyol and Marquez for big matches, and Henry .. I don't know I think Eto will be rested and Henry will get his another chance.

Hope I'm right ..

Would'nt be surprized if Bojan started ..

valdez
alves puyol pique cáceres
yaya toure keita
messi xavi iniesta
bojan

i belive in this:
alves go foward three back and fast(puyol,pique,cáceres)
yaya,keita(dm)
xavi go foward with messi and iniesta
bojan a striker he and messi understand each other very good.

forca barca!!!+!

With Alves running free on the right flank and Iniesta dropping back to defend.

hye gus give cáceres,bojan and yaya toure you don't like them???+?

my best 11 is:

valdez
alves puyol pique cáceres
yaya toure keita
messi xavi iniesta
bojan

subs:
messi(55/60 min)->eto'o
alves->marquez
xavi->busquets

then:
valdez
puyol marquez pique cáceres
yaya toure
busquets keita
iniesta
eto'o

that's my opinion

but i'm not a professionist so i'm just thinking...+.
