ok, let's try to have everyones best team this weak, in term of quality.. in term of stats the result is clear.
gimme your best team of the week ?

"in term of stats the result is clear."

Well, not really, on that score either. I mean, you kinda cherry-picked the stats.

Dani Alves scored a goal, and made lots of passes. Great. How much defending did he do, as a LEFT-BACK? How many interceptions? How many tackles? How many goal-scoring chances avoided? Cause, like, Danny Rose at lil ol\' Tottenham did two EXCELLENT last-ditch challenges to deny a goal-scoring opportunity.

Isco got fouled 10 times. Yay? What does that have to do with much? As a midfielder I\'d be far more concerned with how many passes, and how many through balls were made. Cause, like, Fabregas set up 3 of the goals, didn\'t he?

Where is Dzeko, who got MOTM for City against Newcastle in their 4-0 romp?

Do you see what I mean yet, tiki? These stats don\'t mean anything. At all. :/ You don\'t even use the same criteria for the same darned position...

Im tired of telling you its not my list. googlise Opta maybe you can find something else to do.

I actually already did. I found no list. Perhaps you could link the URL, as most people would do when they're posting something they found On The Internet?

http://www.eurosport.fr/football/opta-team/
anything else ?
I can post what i want if i respect FR community rules, you can post your negative comment if you want but i will ignore your comments if you insist.

Ah, so Eurosport picked a team, based upon the Opta stats they cherry-picked.

Doesn't change the fact that it's pretty meaningless, which is what I said in the beginning. Amazing how a French-speaking site managed to wangle in so many Monaco players, eh? ;)

in 1 monaco player who is the only one who scores a hatrick in europe, if it was falcao you will not say a word. my conversation with you will stop here, have more interesting things to do hope you understand, have a nice day.
