Creation DateJanuary 1, 2012 UsernameRocketRMCF

Lineup (4-3-3)

Casillas · Ramos · Varane · Arbeloa · Marcelo · Granero · Şahin · Özil · Benzema · Di Maria · Higuain

Defense: Arbeloa, Ramos and Varane are incredibly strong defensively and all very good with their feet. Marcelo is allowed to go forward as he usually does and combine in attack.

Midfield: Granero takes on Xabi's role of providing extra strength to the defense and passing range while offering better technique, creativity and speed.
Sahin plays a bit higher and offers more mobility as well as passing range. The main distributor.
Özil plays as an attacking midfielder with some defensive responsibilities but mainly pressing. He is the main creative force and playmaker and combines with Marcelo and Benzema.

Attack: Di Maria is a constant threat in attack by dribbling or playing through balls to Higuaín and don't rely on much support in going forward. Has a big defensive responsibility in helping Arbeloa on the right and pressing.
Higuaín is the number 9 and should constantly try to unsettle the defense, making runs and pressing.
Benzema is playing as a second striker on the left hand side of the pitch. A threat in his own, but should look to combine with his team mates, mainly Özil and Marcelo. Helps in pressing but less defensive than Di Maria.
