Abidal returns from liver surgery and CL formation

Hey hey! Foxsoccer reports that Abidal is back...



Based on this info: Pep will probably go for the following formation:



F:    Messi, Villa, Pedro

M:   Iniesta, Xavi,  Busquets

D:    Puyol, Pique, Mascherano, Alves



Reserves: Abidal, Afellay, Keita, and a Team B GK.



----------------



The Big Mouth's team is missing his key defensive components (Pepe and Ramos) and will have to rely on a more attack-minded formation as follows:



F:      Hinguin

W:    Di Maria & C. Ronaldo

M:     Alonso & Ozil/Kaka

DM:  Diarra

D:     Marcelo, Carhalvo, Albiola, Arbeloa



Reserves:  Benzema, Adebayor



This formation should be countered by our previous Clasico formation with Busquests and Keita, which this armchair manager would like to look like either 4-4-2 (Iniesta as a midfielder) or 4-3-3 (with Iniesta out on left to toy with the thin Madrid defense)



F:    Iniesta, Messi, Villa/Pedro/Afellay

M:   Xavi, Keita, Busquets

D:    Puyol, Pique, Mascherano, Alves



With Afellay and Pedro coming with 15-30 minutes left and Abidal in the 90th minute.



Visca Barcelona and enjoy the game!!!
