Capital Challenge - pick your London v Manchester XI

edited December 2017 in Magic Minutes
Laying awake, worrying about how many goals we might ship against City, I got to wondering about Capital teams. If you could pick a team of current Premier League players from both Manchester teams and pit them against a team made up of current Premier League players from the London Clubs 1) Who would you pick and 2) who would win. I have a feeling the Mancs might win comfortably. Now I don’t feel so bad about this afternoon’s result ;weep

  • Ok, my MCR XI

    I'd be wondering if any of Man Us first XI displace a Man City 1st XI player. I suppose it would depend on the formation you wanted to play.

    Maybe de Gea in goal ....
  • Yea manchester XI pretty much De Gea + Man city outfield

    Arugably fernandinho could be swapped for matic or Pogba

    London XI a little trickier

    Courtois
    Azpilicueta - Alderweirald - Vertongen
    Trippier - Eriksen - Kante - Alonso
    Hazard
    Kane - Morata

    Little bit of a shoe horned formation espeically in midfield with eriksen at CM but think kante can do the defensive work for 2 people

    Couldnt see where an arsenal player can go as Sanchez has been poor this season and there are better people in the repsective positions of Lacazette, ozil, kolasinic etc

    No deli Ali will do for me son
  • I agree. I could see a City team with Utd players on the bench. Not too many Hammers in the London team, unless you count the water carrier as part of the squad
  • Good question Epsom..

    London XI:

    Courtois
    Azpilicueta, Alderweirald, Luiz, Kolasinac
    Sanchez, Kante, Fabregas, Hazard
    Kane, Morata

    Manc XI

    De Gea,
    Walker, Kompany, Stones, Mendy
    De Bruyne, Pogba, Matic, D.Silva
    Aguero, Jesus

    Something like that off the top of my head
    ;wave
  • Epsom, the BBC nicked your idea ;nonono

    You should sue!

  • I look at it from the best team rather than the best players for the 11.

    Surprised I would have 3 English players in the Man 11....

    DeGea
    Walker Stones Kompany Mendy
    Pogba Matic
    Sterling Silva DeBruyne
    Aguero

    Maybe 3 also in LDN but being a bit more generous...

    Courtois
    Bellarin, Alderweirald, Vertongeren, Rose
    Kante, Dier
    Hazard, Kane, Sanchez
  • Forgot to put Ozil in...
  • Mrs G I’m on the case right now ;nonono
  • Manchester:
    De Gea; Valencia Kompany Otamendi Mendy; Pogba de Bruyne Silva; Sane Jesus Aguero

    London:
    Lloris; Azpilicueta Alderweireld Koscielny Rose; Kante Fabregas; Hazard Eriksen Sanchez; Kane
