    Cheers.

    Penny's side has some big names but I think my back '6' if you like gives me an advantage a along with the balance of my side.

    Stoichkov and Nedved would be slightly wasted in wider roles I think and although Pirlo and Iniesta is an excellent combo the lack of a natural DM would leave a lot of room for Totti to exploit along with Ronaldo even dropping back now and again.

    Fontaine and Sanchez are great strikers in their own right as well.

    Sanchez especially. His record beats most others in this draft.

    Very tough now Pennywise has changed formation.. will need to come back to this one.

    This is a tough one. Monaghan's team is more balanced but then again, I don't like Fontaine playing as an inside forward.

    In my defence he'd be spending most of the time as an out and out forward.

    Mentioned in the tactics but Ronaldo would often be allowed to roam from wing to wing. Totti is pretty much allowed freedom too.

    Penny also has Stoichkov as a left winger which is a bit more out of the ordinary. Could maybe get away with Nedved RM.

    Good match up this one. Monaghan takes it for me, just more balance throughout and a pretty strong team

    This is definitely the closest tie of the lot.

    Monaghan has the better defence imo.

    Midfield is pennywise.

    Just think Monaghan's attack would out score Penny's.

    Voted Monaghan, just.

    Easily the toughest one.. Ive gone for Monaghan based on the fact I think his defence is stronger and I can't really separate the midfield/attacks.

    The most important thing to remember is we are both winners.

    Seriously though, this is a close one in a few areas. We deserve a pat on the back.
