    Ive heard from Cardiff fans that Ledley is far more effective on the left aswell.

    If we had the strikers for it I'd like to see Brown/Juarez-Ki-Kayal in a 3 man middle

    I would play a 4-5-1 with Brown Kayal and Ki in the center. Paddy and young Forrest out wide

    If you want a more solid middle you could go for

    Brown-Ki-Kayal-Leadly

    Juarez will be off in January for me. If he can't get on against Berwick Rangers the guy may aswell be sold. He looked a great player aswell, got to be alot more to this.

    This unless we go 4-3-3 where we can fit either Ki or Ledley in with the pair. With both Kayal and Brown in the team, we'll be unbeatable in this League.

    That is a 4 man midfield. None of your weak-link wingers:50:

    I'm surprised how many of you would pick Ledley.

    He would be 4th choice but I'd happily fit him in with the other 3. Much better than McGinn and Mulgrew.

    I like this but I think Ljungberg needs to earn his place first. Fair enough yesterday was his first game in months but I didn't see anything that stood out about him.

    Simple enough its not what are my two centre mid choice pairing but what 3, as gunt mentioned we play scottish football and we require 3 cm, my choice would be Kayal-Ki-Brown, and in a perfect world like another poster mentioned, to get rid of winger weak links against difficult opposition.

    Id like to play Forrest/Llunberg Kayal - Ki - Ledley but i doubt brown will continue to be rested for large amounts of the season.

    Since Ki has been away I don't think it would be fair on the current players for him to get his slot back straight away despite how well he has played. He would be my first choice to come in for injuries/suspensions/loss of form.

    My team would be
    GK: Forster
    RB: Wilson
    CB: Rogne
    CB: Majstorovic
    LB: Izaguirre
    RM: Ljungberg
    CM: Brown
    CM: Kayal
    LM: Ledley
    SS/AM: McCourt
    ST: Samaras or Hooper

    This is my team as form currently stands and Maloney would possibly come in for Paddy when fit but those with the jerseys keep them. I think Forrest would be great to bring off the bench and same goes for Stokes although I would probably play two strikers when playing the smaller teams.

    Why does Scottish football intrinsically require 3 CMs? Historically Scottish teams, like English ones, have played 4-4-2 for decades!
