Obviously you'll want to be away to us, to get the gate money before beating us on the replay... Home just denies you a big take until the next round.

I know it's boring to complain but they always do a rubbish job picking the midfielders. Iniesta hardly had his best season last year (though he did have some great CL performances) and it feels like he just gets picked because that's what happens these days. Was probably Modric's worst year for a while, missed 33 games through injury and hasn't had a great start to this season. I think Pogba's pretty overrated too. Great player and potential but he wasn't even the most important midfielder at Juve last year.

Would love to hear the rationale for Ramos over Pique too.

True but why complain about Ramos when Silva's in the team despite at one point failing to get into Brazil's brutally dire Copa America team. I mean, they just pick the known superstars regardless of who played well that year, but at least Ramos and Alves earned superstar status. Silva has literally never played a game of real importance. No games in Europe's top three leagues, no crunch games in close-run titles even in the second-tier leagues he has played in, never gone beyond the Champions League quarters. Burst into tears and couldn't take a pen in the WC second round, then missed the semi with a stupid booking. Where did his reputation even come from? I guarantee if he was from Turkey most of us wouldn't have heard of him.

Pogba was awesome last year though. Iniesta getting in was a real joke. Rakitic > Busquets > Iniesta as far as that CL win goes last season. His league form was also terrible, didn't have a goal or assist until late in the season.

Rakitc, Busquets, Verratti, Alaba, Vidal, Özil, De Bruyne would've been my main candidates for the midfield.

Also, it's mad that Messi only got 40% of the vote. Says it all about the voting. All the players and coaches just pick their mates.

Or in the case of Ronaldo, pick the ones who are no threat for his shot at the title.
