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 dramatically 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) 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 Benidorm on Tuesday.

You put them in the right position, so using the 4-3-3 (or whatever you think they will play) and putting the players from the right to the left, so the right back defender is your first name after the goalkeeper. If your line-up isn't clear, my interpretation counts.

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 five hours before the start of the game, in this case: until 4 pm barcelona time.

If you give your line-up before Guardiola announes his match list (or if all the available player or at least 20 players are included in the match list), you get one point for the correct line-up. If you do it after that announcement, you get half a point. Who will have 10 points somewhere down this season, can call himself the winner.

This is the fifth time this game is organized.

V.Sanchez actually doesn't show any great potential. He should not be given so much chance to play in the first team. I think he will only become an average player in the future.

I'm hoping that Jorquera will start but I think it will be something like this:

Pinto - Sanchez, Pique, Caceres, Sylvinho - Sanchez, Busquets, Hleb - Hleb, Bojan, Henry

Oops, wasn't thinking straight at all there, using 2 players twice :P .

Pinto - Sanchez, Pique, Caceres, Sylvinho - Busquets, Touré, Abraham - Hleb, Bojan, Henry

Btw I've heard that you can't play for the B-team if you play 10 matches for the senior squad, is this true?

Henry is ill and Puyol takes his place in the match squad.

You can replace Henry in your team.

Henry's out. So new lineup

Henry is out of the game tonight with stomach problems and Puyol replace him in the squad.
So my squad now is:

---------------Pinto-----------------

Abraham---Pique--Caceres---Sylvinho

---------------Toure-----------------

--S. Busquets----------V. Sanchez--

Hleb-------------------------Nolito

----------------Bojan----------------

Anonymous said...

Ok with Henry out it will be like this instead:

Pinto - Sanchez, Pique, Cacerec, Sylvinho - Touré, Busquets, Abraham - Hleb, Bojan, Nolito

There are almost no attackers in the squad now, really strange. Surprised that a player like Gai didn't replace Henry.
