Even when I've faced 18 year old goalkeepers that haven't played a league game in real life or in a fantasy game no-one has ever paid attention to it, I've stated tactics that would really unnerve the keepers, not a blind bit of difference.

And they play Schurrle there too. I think Schurrle is ahead of Reus in the Germany pecking order

Think it was, there was him (ok he's now 22) and another week I faced someone who was on a reserve keeper and tried to unsettle them to no avail.

I had never heard of him and was frantically trying to buy another keeper Laugh

My PR machine earned it's money that week.

And TSC - Reus is a really good player, one of the best wingers in Europe last year. I was just saying where I thought Low puts him in his pecking order. I think Reus will get on the pitch, but only as a sub

Yeah, I wasn't meaning you didn't have any love for Reus, I was meaning Low didn't have any love for Reus. Mind you, he has a "good" selection dilemma as he has so many good players.

Afro, If I have Reus and Schurrle on the right and left, who would you play in between them?

EDIT: Type of player as well as actually naming one from my squad

The fact that this weekend even with a depleted squad of no Bayern players and he still didn't make the starting eleven would suggest to me he's not that high in the pecking order, though he did get his name on the goalsheet so that might have an effect.

To be honest, the type of player depends entirely on your formation, what players are playing in other positions and their strengths and weaknesses, your intended style of play.

Strootman, M'Villa, Luuk de Jong, Dempsey, Nene, Khedira, Gourcuff (those are the ones I can see playing there) unless I have 4-3-3 with Khedira, M'Villa and Strootman behind and Cardozo up front. Rather than a 4-2-3-1 which I was driving at above.

This would change depending upon the opposition, but purely hypothetically, I would one of two teams from your squad:

Given
Lichtsteiner--Cahill--Sakho--Adriano
Strootman--M'Vila--Khedira
Reus---de Jong---Schurrle/Nene
or

Given
Lichtsteiner--Cahill--Sakho--Adriano
M'Vila/Strootman---Khedira
Nene-------Reus----------Schurrle
de Jong

Your full-backs are very attacking, so you need to play two holding CMs IMO otherwise you will be exposed. When you want to dominate midfield, I would play 3 there, with Reus and Nene either side of de Jong (both are players who will get in and support the main striker).

When you are up against a weaker midfield, then you can play the extra forward.

I would actually play Nene ahead of Schurrle atm. Schurrle is a good player, but he has his iffy moments (which is due to inexperience). Nene has been the best player for PSG this season and is severly underrated in these leagues.

Also, I think it's a flip of a coin between M'vila and Strootman atm.

M'vila is the better player, but his form is poor, whereas Strootman's is good.

You can use your mobile to make calls, send texts and use the internet in most instances. When you're indoors the signal strength may be better in different rooms.

Those idiots at Three have replied back to me saying, "Unfortunately following Samsung's recent announcement, the Pebble Blue Samsung SIII will not be available when expected".

Even though yesterday Three said that I will get my phone on time.

We’re waiting for Samsung to confirm their expected delivery date and as soon as we know more we’ll be in touch. Sorry.

Thats the reply I got from Three just now, I heard Vodaphone say that it's going to take 2-4 weeks for them to get the Blue Samsung. I am so peed off I want to punch someone. I think I might cancel it.
