Joe Cole then. He's as good as it gets. If you're not too fussy about formations, You could play a 4-1-3-2 with the English team instead of a 4-4-2. English MLs are hard to come by.

Hargreaves ofcourse! Would be perfect if I could get him at a reasonable price.

I prefer Simpson on the right over Richards, since Richards is better at helping attacks. Plus Richards is a solid centre-back.

I'm not too crazy about Downing, the lack of speed is a big let down though he excels technically.

I'll definately be going for Joe Cole.

As for my formation, it stays as it is - 4-1-2-2-1. Unbeaten in 25 matches so far with this formation ("The Winning" tactic by Jack Edwards).

I'm off for now guys, thanks everyone

DC: Taylor / Dawson
DM: Hargreaves
MR: Walcott
ML: Lennon

The Winning tactic eh? Alright:

GK: James/Robinson/Edwards/Hart/Foster/Edwards
LB: A. Cole/Baines
CB: Richards/Dawson/Woodgate/Ferdinand/Terry?
CB: Taylor/Hobbs/King/Ferdinand
RB: Simpson/Hoyte/Bridge
DM: Hargreaves/Carrick/Barton/Muamba
ML: Barry/J. Cole/Downing/Lennon/Young
MR: Walcott/Barnes/again Cole and Lennon/Beckham?/Bentley
AM: J. Cole/Rooney/Johnson/Bentley/Jenas/Baxter/
Michael Woods
FC: Rooney/Crouch/Owen/Defoe/Carroll/Baxter

IMHO your starting XI:

GK: Robinson
DL: A. Cole
DC: Richards
DC: Taylor
DR: Bridge/Simpson if you insist
DM: Hargreaves
ML: Barry
MR: Lennon/Walcott/Barnes (not much difference imho)
AM: J. Cole
AM: Rooney
ST: Crouch
