what??? madness. Have used alves in several long and season long games, and in every one he has been exceptional. By far the best right back in the world. You can also play alves at rightwing (or even left back/left wing) if you have injuries, he has easily out played SWP at right wing when i've needed him there.
i used to use a formation using wing backs, and alves and ashley cole were the only things that allowed it to work.
As for vidic, he's good, but buy breno or the udinese defender (can't remember his bloody name, he's 20 and south american) both of them will usually become better than vidic and are already more than capable first team players.
