Best XI if everyone's fit?

[Gorton Gruff]

Defence - settled formation with attacking fullbacks
GK: Hart (Given)
RB: Boateng (Richards) - RCB: Toure (Kompany/Boyata) - LCB: Kompany (Lescott) - LB: Kolarov (Bridge)

1. Strong formation: 4 - 3(1+2) - 3(2+1)
Midfield: DM: De Jong (Viera, Ibrahim) - RM: Yaya Toure (Milner), LM: Milner (Barry)
Attack midfield: Tevez, Silva (Robinho, Johnson, SWP)
Forward: Adebayor (Ballotelli)

2. Dominant narrow formation: 4 - 4 - 2
Midfield: Wide RM: Milner (SWP, Zabaleta), Central RM: Yaya Toure (Milner, Viera), Central LM: Milner (Barry, Ibrahim), Wide LM: Silva (Johnson, Robinho)
Attack: Tevez, Adebayor (Ballotelli)

3. Attacking wide formation - 4 - 4 - 2
Midfield: WRM: Johnson (SWP), CM: Yaya Toure, Milner (Barry, Viera), WLM: Silva (Johnson, Robinho)
Attack: Tevez, Adebayor (Ballotelli)

4. Goalscoring formation - 4 - 3 - 3
Midfield: WRM: Johnson (SWP), CM: Yaya Toure, Milner (Barry, Viera), WLM: Silva (Johnson)
Attack: Right: Ballotelli (Nimely, SWP) Centre: Tevez (Adebayor, RSC, Jo) Left: Adebayor (Silva, Robinho, Jo)

We now have a variety of formations to utilise according to home or away, opposition, and during a match (need to dominate, close shop, retrieve a goal deficit etc.)

Very tough but I think all 6 new signings obviously are included, and I would add Hart, NDJ, Tevez and Adam Johnson to that. So on that basis it would have to be

Hart

Boateng
K Toure
Kompany
Kolarov

A Johnson
NDJ
Y Toure
Silva

Balotelli
Tevez

Exactly what I'd go for, but I'd have Given in goals...

More DeJong required imo

Nice! I'd pick Given ahead of Hart, although he was excellent v Spuds.
And a serious bench with Barry, Ade, Lescott, AJ, SWP etc etc...

This would be mind aswell but I would move Silva where Tevez is and stick Tevez up on his own.

Who'd you have on the left wing then? I agree that it would be ideal if Silva was granted a free role just behind the striker(s).
