The wide playmaker role Sneijder had.

I voted for Scott1892 and adhikapp.

Match 1:  Hagi - Shearer - Di Stefano up front. All more central players but with Alaba and Srna bombing down the flanks, width shouldn't be an issue. Scholes as a lone 6 is not enough of a shield in front of Agger and Piqué. I would have liked Ballack and Scholes as part of a double pivot. They both played a more holding role at the end of their career, which would have provided more defensive stability. 

Match 2: adhikapp has less obvious weak spots for me, although I'm still hesitant about Stojkovic in central midfield. Vertonghen - Terry - Barzagli and Neueur should provide for enough defensive strenght to see this match through though. Also, Haguey has pretty much the same problem with only Oceano as a holding player.

Interested to see your reasoning on this.

It's more of a 4321 formation, with Hagi having a free role to drift wide or stay central, but that's quite hard to show on paper.

 

I've voted for CK so I could vote in the other match. Both attacks are fairly even but I think Adhikapp's defence is stronger, so voted for him.
