        I need around 30 points. I have Hummels/Boateng/Garay/Lahm/Masch/Kroos/Messi.
        This might be enough even without C or? Cuz if I go for Hummels and Germans concede I can't see him getting 11 points.

      If you twist, go to german defender and hope he gets a blocked shot plus CS. I stayed put with Vlaar and am letting my competition catch me.

    Play Kroos over Boateng/Rojo?

    Kroos has the set pieces, Boateng is a safe pick while Rojo should make plenty of blocks (picked Maicon last round by the logic but it didnt serve well.)

    So, Kroos or Boateng or Rojo? 😀

    Hate to repost this again, but haven't got a single reply yet....

    McDonalds. I need to sit two of the following, and pick a captain.

    Hummels, Boateng, Rojo, Lahm, Kroos, Mascherano, Messi, Muller.

    Thoughts?

    Thinking Rojo is the easiest benching there... but then who? Messi? That hurts.

      Too tough a call. Rojo is 1 .

      I'd personally think of benching Kroos because I feel the last game was an outlier and he may not replicate it to that effect. The rest of them normally return 8-10 points.

      Captain:
      if you are protecting a lead - Lahm, Masche
      If you are chasing big : THE MESSI, Muller
