You guys are a serious lot

My post was more about having some hypothetical (ideal) fun. Vieira is going to play what he knows, which is 4-3-3, and I don't think anything that's discussed here is going to change that, though it is amusing to imagine PV scouring the forums for tactical advice.
Now, if I was supposed to comment elsewhere in the forum, then that's my fault, but if you try browsing or searching for threads on "formations," the site's taxonomy & navigation aren't particularly helpful.
OK, so to please the formation gods (hahahahaha), I will now give my 3-4-3 formation (as I don't think sticking Pirlo by himself in the middle works):
Col Saunders
White - Mena - Mattarita
Poku - Pirlo - Bravo - TommyMac
Villa - Mullins - Shelton
Let's the flames continue!!!
