This is mostly fair. But only thing. Which is Casado should absolutely be there instead of Fede. Fede might be the better player but Casado this season has been better than most midfielders in the world.
To be fair vede started very good, the problem IS the fact that He is tired af because he has to do everything and the fact that He played while he was injured
i would say even if valverde has to stay in the team you'd rather have casado over pedri this season so far. Casado is too important and too flawless. Pedri has the higher ceiling and a really good season, but casado was extraordinary until now.
Casado has been great but madrids poor play should also be taken into account for fedes Great play imo.. Valverde still has been better Casado has been great though
lol not because Madrid was losing means valverde wasn’t good valverde been the engine of Real Madrid can Casado be the engine of Barca if they are losing?
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture05but he has been our engine? He played amazing when we lost to real sociedad man. I love Valverde dont get me wrong he is you second most important player behind Courtois imo.
Next thing you will say why don't we put all 11 Barca players there despite both teams have lost same numbers of games (3 loses) Real Madrid's worst output season = Barca's one of the best output season There are levels to this game
@@pratiksable1034 lol what? Context matters. We've lost games because we lack depth and it shows. You guys have lost because you guys are just terrible right now. As for output I don't know what you're talking about because we only conceded one more goal than you guys and scored 15 more goals in just la liga. To put it into perspective all of your "attackers" (Vini, Diaz, Rodrygo, and Endrick) have 16 goals combined in la liga. Also, I've said this before but it's taken us to go over a billion in debt for you guys to feel confident against us in la liga so calm down.
I think Valverde is a great player and I know he has importance for Real Madrid but you made it clear that this list is for this season and you put Casado higher in your tier list and for that reason I think Casado should get the spot
I'm gonna drop my XI before watch the vid: GK: Cortua LB: Balde CB: Martinez CB: Cu Cu Cubarsi RB: Kounde CDM: Pedri CDM: Casado/ Valverde - can go either way CAM: Raphinia LW: Vini ST l: Lewa RW: Yamal. Let me know how close I am to our Boss.

honestly Faysal absolutely no heart feeling this is really true …and the analysis as well shoutouts 🎉to you and all the Real Madrid and Barcelona fans.
16:07 thank you . Not all the culers but real football fans do watch their rival’s game at least important ones. And I completely agree with your Starting XI . When it comes to choose between Casado and Fede i think it depends on biased opinion because in this season they are having a great season, and it’s so hard to choose between them
Man! Really appreciate u! The thing u mentioned the "Eye test", so much love for ya, 90% of the people won't even watch game and spread hate, I am a Culer for a long time now, Huge respect to u mann! Perfect 11, ik someone might argue with casado and valverde, but man valverde is one of the key reason for madrid, huge respect for him as a player! Really enjoyed the video! Perfect 11, mine was the damn same lol !
Barca fan here, and bro Camavinga in that single pivot role against Osasuna was just class man, but yeah without Valverde yall would be out of any title race this season
I am a Barcelona fan but I absolutely love your content.You are very fair in your assessments and you are rarely biased.After every Barca and Real match I’m waiting for your next video review.Great work and keep it up!
See, that’s why you’re one of my favorite content creators despite me being a Barca fan. Proper unbiased analysis. Only thing I’d disagree with is Fede in midfield. I rate him tho, he alongside Vitinha have been the two outstanding midfielders for last season and the calendar year IMO. But this season tho? He’s keeping up similar form, despite your midfield (and team overall) being a mess, but Casado has been unreal tho.
@ I agree, Raphinha has been way better, but if you watch the actual games, Faysal putting him as a 10 and not an out and out LW is actually accurate to what he does on the pitch.
You are the man, Faysal. Best mind of the football UA-camrs. Has Real Madrid called you up to replace Ancelotti yet? I love watching RM with you as you tear into him…stay strong.
This is literally the most truthful starting 11 anyone could choose. As much as I love our midfield players, Valverde has been top tier in a disappointing Madrid team. I love watching him especially with Uruguay, he steps up more
Yo Faysal! Can you react to the Premier League/ La liga combined video by the guys from «The Club». Those guys dont clearly watch La Liga, we need your take and your eleven on that 🧐 Keep the good work btw, from a Barca fan
Another great video by you faysel loving the content but what do you think Barcelona should sign there has been rumours for us going for Rafael leao but should we go with the Chep option or Nico Williams id like to see your point of view as i respect it a lot
I agree with that 11. As a Barca fan I love Casado but Fede Valverde was having an amazing year but he unfortunately is running out of gas because he has to carry that Madrid midfield.
I think Raphinha is probably one of the top 3 at barcelona. But if you take Vini over raphinha on the left side I think Olmo should take the spot of the number 10. When he's on the pitch he is one of the best on the team. Besides that I think Valverde and Casado are on par so you could switch them. Good 11 though.
I’m not gonna lie, when you put vini in i taught you weren’t gonna put raphinha in and was gonna call bullshit. But i actually agree with most of this, i would personally put casado in instead of fede or even pedri but i understand your reasons. Also i don’t agree with balde being in, as a barca fan i don’t think he has an amazing season, he’s been decent, but i also don’t know who you could put ahead of him (haven’t watch that many real madrid games). All around a very solid starting 11!
Idk if this is a hottake, but I think what Cubarsi has done is more difficult than what Yamal has done. As a defender, your biggest mistakes are highlighted more than any other outfield position. The fact that I can barely think of any mistakes cubarsi has made, combined with his defensive iq and ball-playing ability, makes me think what he has accomplished is just unbelievable (much like Yamal).
FLICK~ VINI LEWA OLMO PEDRI CASADO CAMAVINGA BALDE INIGO CUBARSI KOUNDE THIBO - Vini as a striker last year was crazy + that dynamic duo is too op - Olmo controlling the game would be beautiful to watch also seeing him feed lewa and Vini - Pedri + Cama + Casado spells danger a very balanced midfield imo - Back four is perfect why fix something that ain’t broken - LAMINE IS TOO GOOD FOR THIS NONSENSE (it’s like putting Messi in a best players of the last decade XI - it’s too easy)
Barca fan here. This might be cheating, but I’d go for a 3-4-3 Courtois Kounde Cubarsi Inigo Pedri Casado Camavinga Raphinha Lamine Lewa Vini I understand going for Fede, but imo even in the relatively little time he’s had, Camavinga has been so impactful
Random thought. First off, bro, I want to say I agree with your combined 11, but I'd just change one thing. I love Pedri, but I'd play Jude in his position because Jude has a better work rate than him and can score goals. But on to the random thought, so since FIFA and UEFA want to add extra games to the footballing calendar, maybe they should consider adding an end-of-season Best League in the World Tournament. So Europe's top five leagues will compete, and there will be five matches. The team that wins the UCL, whatever league they play for, will automatically go to the final. The remaining four teams/leagues will play in a quarter and semi-final. The squad for each league will include the best 25 players for the entire season from the league, and the starting 11 will include players from the top two teams in the domestic league (like what you're doing currently with Barca and Madrid). The winning league will be crowned the best league in the world. That way, we can start having a statistical argument about which is the best league in the world. Oh, and the manager will be the manager from whichever team wins the domestic league. That conclude my random thought.
Vini has been good but tbh Raphinha has been on to much fire to drop, last season i would give it to vini. Also legit i would rate Casados importance over pedris
Valvarde has been good but i think Casado should take that spot because Casado has been better this season so far, but Still fair to give it to Valvarde
@ wait for it mate. It’s not about the Madrid game. The game he played for England, you could see he has started to feel himself again. Also, just by the way, he has had a phenomenal season so far so what are you on about? Do you think it’s just about goals and assists. The way he defends, carries the ball, passes the ball, is absolutely brilliant since start of the season. If you can’t see it, then you’re a biased haiwaan.
@ he has really been one of the standout players alongside Vinicius this season. It don’t matter what Mbappe been doing because these two are definitely killing it.
@ better I am not sure. Who is better than Jude, maybe Pedri, no one else comes even close. Do you think Olmo is better? Ferran Torres? Fermin Lopez? lol you are delusional. The complete game that Jude has even Pedri doesn’t have that. Pedri is good with his creative vision much much better than Jude, also the progressive carry he might be better but can he defend like Jude does, surely not.
Courtois Kounde Cubarsi Martinez Balde Valverde Casado Pedri Yamal Vini. Raphinha Although Lewa has more goals than Vini I think he’s been getting a lot more supply and honestly he missed some sitters and should have even more goals. No Madrid defenders have been standout to me either but what this Barca side have been able to do with the offsides trap is extremely impressive. There’s no 10 in the team but I feel as though Madrid don’t really play with a 10 and Pedri, Casado, and Valverde have all been so good that I can’t drop any of them for Olmo or Fermin. And no Bellingham hasn’t been playing like a 10 so he doesn’t count.
My XI would probably be the same except Casado over Fede. I would *maybe* take Olmo over Vini if Olmo had more game time just because he's been so good when he's actually played, but he's just been injured too much to dislodge Vini who's also been brilliant
The thing is this Barcelona team play as a unit so when the win it's hard for you to pick someone as the best player on the pitch because they all play well. Solid unit.
I think cassado should have gotten picked, but I also think either way was a good choice. That was probably the hardest choice in the entire combined 11 to choose. Either way u can't be wrong I just personally think cassado has been better, but not by much.
Barcelona fan here, I think it’s fair all around and I understand why he put Fede there but I would personally put Casado because Fede has never been the reason that Real Madrid won a game or didn’t lose a game this season and but I personally believe that Casado might be the most important pivot we have this year.
In goal it’s debatable Peña has had amazing games and also horrific games so I don’t think he should be in there. Ter Stegen wasn’t bad but not the best either. Lunin has been a mixed bag and courtois injured quite a bit but in terms of who’s fit rn Lunin will take it for me out of him and Peña he’s been more solid apart from the el Clasico obviously I can see the courtois choice but I’m going off who’s fit. RB obviously Kounde cbs obviously inigo and Cubarsi and lb by far balde . Midfield id personally go flat three Pedri Casado and valverde. Pedri - best cm in the world this season, casado is just too important to leave out and despite the shaky games lately I do think Fede is a very important and well rounded midfielder and I have said and always will say he’s Madrids best midfielder and arguably the most important player even. Lw Raphinha no need to explain yes vini has been getting numbers and has been good but Raph has just simply been better and arguably best player in the world on form rn and I want to have the 3 midfielders in more so Yh. Lewy easily slots up front and Lamine takes the right without much fuss
I agree with this 11 Only change is I'll rather have Casado-Fede in my base Pedri has been very good, but the fact that Fede has been important and Casado is doing a job which we lacked last season, that is also important. So I have both in my 11
Agree with ur lineup except for valverde. This comes from a die hard Barca fan and if I could any players from Madrid, always been valverde. His attitude work rate is second to none and he’s very humble. He’s the most underrated player in the world. But against Casado this year no chance. M sorry. And it makes me sick to see vini in the lineup but there is no competition on that side. Very talented but absolutely stinky attitude. But bro I love ur channel. Visca Barca
Vini is very underrated atm. He’s solo carrying your attack, makes me wonder how we would look with a player like him in our team seeing how we’re basically playing without a Left Winger. I’ll give you Fede Valverde even though i myself think it should be Casado because he’s been unplayable IMO
You had to fight for Valverde. Or that team would be all Barcelona lol It’s ur team and ur opinion. So doesn’t matter if ur biased or not. We can all make the same argument for Casado and how good he has been for Barcelona.
It was perfect, I can't deny it wallah, the only player that could be there is Casado, but that is just because fede has been very important this year(always), for me as a barsa fan I love fede and he is amazingly good, and except el clasico I haven't watched any even full 45 minutes of madrid but I know how good he is. And that is of course not appreciating Casado cause I love him and for me in terms of importance he is the second most importan player for us after the goat lamin. by the way, the computer just tried to start talking Arabic, when you tried to write Mbape's name.
As a Barca fan, i can admit that Fede is a spectacular player, but you titled the video Combined Real Madrid V Barcelona SO FAR THIS SEASON, emphasis on the SO FAR THIS SEASON, and Casado has been second to none in Europe in that 6 position. I mean I would have Casado for Fede, Swap Vini for Raphinha, then the number 10 would go to Jude for me.
As a Barca fan I think you should've given the 10 position to Bellingham, not taking anything away from Raphinha who's had an incredible season Bellingham has been soooooo! underrated this season, for real Raphinha has been good because there's a team supporting him, but Jude on the other hand has had to carry plays on his own and nobody supported him 💔
Biggest Barca fan here. This would be my controversial starting 11 (with notes after): Olmo*check note* Rodrigo Lamine Jude Casado Pedri Balde inigo Cuba Kounde Cortois .... Reasoning: Goalie we agree, so no comment. Same with defence... Double pivot pedri Casado, I think we can agree that this has been one of the best duo in Europe (I'm gonna cover Valverde down 👇, cos I also agree with you but imma be utilising him differently)... Lamine I guess there is no argue there... Jude, Rodrigo and Olmo*... This is where the controversy begin. Lemme start by explaining why I did not include Vini even though I know he's the best winger in the world... The reason is basically the same reason I wanted Neymar out of my team even though he's one of our legends; that is the personality. I hate to watch a player being so good, but at the end all that enjoyment to be taken away because of the player's ill personality... I would rather cut the player from my team altogether regardless if they were the best, cos again I would not enjoy watching him. Why did I put an asterisk on Olmo, because honestly I'm not sure!! I may put Gavi or Valverde over there on the left wing to be a false wing... (With his pacy Balde is he can cover the left wing, and that's why I'm having the more defensive CDM on the left side to cover just in case)... Between Gavi and Valverde, under normal circumstances I would choose Gavi, but this season, as you've mentioned, and given that Gavi is injured, I would choose Valverde instead of Olmo... But Olmo has also been so good so it's really tough honestly :( lemme move to my choice for cam which might justify leaving Olmo out of the team... Actually I lied, I'll not mention the cam position separately, I'll explain it along with my striker choice; aight I'm crazy I admit, for not choosing Lewa, but hear me out... I would choose the Jude Rodrigo combo merely based on the glimpses I saw last season, Rodrigo playing false 9 with Jude having the freedom in the front 🔥 combine that with Lamine going inside sometimes and can be rotating with Jude and Rodrigo... Rodrigo Jude Lamine rotating triangle 🤤🤤🤤🤤 If it wasn't for what I saw from this combo last season, my cam would have been Raphinha or Olmo... And of course my 9 would be Lewa. Funny I mention this because I value intelligence more than I value skill, but I do believe my starting 11 of choice excel at both... Gavi/Valverde Rodrigo Lamine Jude Casado Pedri Balde inigo Cuba Kounde Cortois .... What do think? 😁
Honestly, I'd rather casado over pedri, he's just been the more important player and at times our best midfielder, he's especially surprised in big games as well
Before watching video i would like to give my starting XI (as a barca fan) GK - Thibout Courtois (has made great saves multiple games) RB - Jules Kounde CB - Inigo Martinez (great defender with efficient offside traps) CB - Antonio Rudiger (Not in form but has scored cruital goal and been decent defensivly) LB - Alejandro Balde (Mendy is horrible) CM - Fede Valverde (2nd best midfielder itw) CM - Pedri (best midfielder) CM - Marc Casado (his defensive and passing abilties has been incredible) RW - Lamine Yamal LW - Raphinha (close call with vini mostly because raphinha hasn't been great without Yamal) ST - Robert Lewandowski EDIT: After watching video if i would do the same formation as Faysal did i would also put CAM raphinha and LW Vinicius. But i wanted to go by position that they are regarded as in games but i know that raphinha ain't playing as a pure winger. Thanks for the great unbiased video!
@@SpaceThing-e6j im debating about it right now have been editing the list but i think i will keep rudiger. I feel like he has been best madrid defender and needs his respect
@@itshurtt395 i agree i might have overreacted. But vini ain't that far apart from raphinha. Been madrids best player has created goals and everything. In my opinion biggest reason why madrid hasn't lost few games in the league
Classifying Raphinha as a CAM just to sneak in Vinicius is ridiculous, he’s not been as effective or good as Raphinha and has not been a difference maker. I’d put Olmo and Raphinha regardless of his play time . He’s been more effective in the short time he’s been on the pitch .
In my opinion Vini is the best player in the whole world even if Madrid is playing bad. So would have to make way for Vini regardless of what Raphinha has been showing for the past couple of months. This is only because he has players like Lamine and Pedri who are supporting him creatively and Lewa to finish most of the chances, I would say try imagining the same Barca team and replacing Raphinha with Vini, Barca will basically win each game 10-0. Think about the number of big chances that Vini creates just by himself and having lewandowski finishing them or him being assisted by Pedri Lamine Olmo or Casado and him burying that top corner 🤐 The only reason he looks bad right now is because of Mr. Mbappe, if Mbappe starts finishing those big chances, this would be a completely different story. Regardless Vini is literally the best player in the world no doubt about it.
This is mostly fair. But only thing. Which is Casado should absolutely be there instead of Fede. Fede might be the better player but Casado this season has been better than most midfielders in the world.
To be fair vede started very good, the problem IS the fact that He is tired af because he has to do everything and the fact that He played while he was injured

@@r3load403 I really don't think you can have a combined XI without Pedri

First off, bro, I want to say I agree with your combined 11, but I'd just change one thing. I love Pedri, but I'd play Jude in his position because Jude has a better work rate than him and can score goals.
But on to the random thought, so since FIFA and UEFA want to add extra games to the footballing calendar, maybe they should consider adding an end-of-season Best League in the World Tournament.
So Europe's top five leagues will compete, and there will be five matches.
The team that wins the UCL, whatever league they play for, will automatically go to the final.
The remaining four teams/leagues will play in a quarter and semi-final.
The squad for each league will include the best 25 players for the entire season from the league, and the starting 11 will include players from the top two teams in the domestic league (like what you're doing currently with Barca and Madrid).
The winning league will be crowned the best league in the world. That way, we can start having a statistical argument about which is the best league in the world.
Oh, and the manager will be the manager from whichever team wins the domestic league.
That conclude my random thought.
Courtois, Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Bale, Bellingham, Pedri, Olmo, Yamal, Vinicius, Lewandowski.
Dont let me down fayz 😂😂
Vini has been good but tbh Raphinha has been on to much fire to drop, last season i would give it to vini. Also legit i would rate Casados importance over pedris
Valvarde has been good but i think Casado should take that spot because Casado has been better this season so far, but Still fair to give it to Valvarde
@Faysal, do you think Raphinha playing as "Raumdeuter" like Müller?
Wait for Bellingham, he seems to be back in his groove. He’s going to be smashing each team now. Wait for it.
One good game doesn’t mean smashing. He is good yes but his RMA teammates don’t benefit from it
@ wait for it mate. It’s not about the Madrid game. The game he played for England, you could see he has started to feel himself again. Also, just by the way, he has had a phenomenal season so far so what are you on about? Do you think it’s just about goals and assists. The way he defends, carries the ball, passes the ball, is absolutely brilliant since start of the season. If you can’t see it, then you’re a biased haiwaan.
@ he has really been one of the standout players alongside Vinicius this season. It don’t matter what Mbappe been doing because these two are definitely killing it.
@@danishmehra8984 doesn't matter how good jude is, barca have more players who are as good if not better than him
@ better I am not sure. Who is better than Jude, maybe Pedri, no one else comes even close. Do you think Olmo is better? Ferran Torres? Fermin Lopez? lol you are delusional.
The complete game that Jude has even Pedri doesn’t have that. Pedri is good with his creative vision much much better than Jude, also the progressive carry he might be better but can he defend like Jude does, surely not.
Courtois
Kounde Cubarsi Martinez Balde
Valverde Casado Pedri
Yamal Vini. Raphinha
Although Lewa has more goals than Vini I think he’s been getting a lot more supply and honestly he missed some sitters and should have even more goals. No Madrid defenders have been standout to me either but what this Barca side have been able to do with the offsides trap is extremely impressive. There’s no 10 in the team but I feel as though Madrid don’t really play with a 10 and Pedri, Casado, and Valverde have all been so good that I can’t drop any of them for Olmo or Fermin. And no Bellingham hasn’t been playing like a 10 so he doesn’t count.
My XI would probably be the same except Casado over Fede. I would *maybe* take Olmo over Vini if Olmo had more game time just because he's been so good when he's actually played, but he's just been injured too much to dislodge Vini who's also been brilliant
The thing is this Barcelona team play as a unit so when the win it's hard for you to pick someone as the best player on the pitch because they all play well. Solid unit.
Gk: Thibaut Courtois RB:Kounde CB's: Cubarsi and inigo Lb:Balde Cm:Pedri,Jude RW: Lamine AM:Olmo LW: Vini ST:Lewa as a barca fan
If you actually watched the game yk for a FACT that Bellingham shouldnt be here, Casado should and How can you leave Rapha Out?
I honestly agree on Pedri. the reason Xavi failed last year was pedri not being in his best form. he controls the midfield. its so important
I think cassado should have gotten picked, but I also think either way was a good choice. That was probably the hardest choice in the entire combined 11 to choose. Either way u can't be wrong I just personally think cassado has been better, but not by much.
Off topic but we need a Liverpool vs Madrid preview next week
Barcelona fan here, I think it’s fair all around and I understand why he put Fede there but I would personally put Casado because Fede has never been the reason that Real Madrid won a game or didn’t lose a game this season and but I personally believe that Casado might be the most important pivot we have this year.
My 11, GK(Courtois), RB(Kounde), CB(Inigo Martinez, Cubarsi), LB(Balde), Midfield double pivot (Pedri , Valverde) advanced mid (Raphina ), LW(Vini), RW(Yamal), ST(Lewadisney)
In goal it’s debatable Peña has had amazing games and also horrific games so I don’t think he should be in there. Ter Stegen wasn’t bad but not the best either. Lunin has been a mixed bag and courtois injured quite a bit but in terms of who’s fit rn Lunin will take it for me out of him and Peña he’s been more solid apart from the el Clasico obviously I can see the courtois choice but I’m going off who’s fit. RB obviously Kounde cbs obviously inigo and Cubarsi and lb by far balde . Midfield id personally go flat three Pedri Casado and valverde. Pedri - best cm in the world this season, casado is just too important to leave out and despite the shaky games lately I do think Fede is a very important and well rounded midfielder and I have said and always will say he’s Madrids best midfielder and arguably the most important player even. Lw Raphinha no need to explain yes vini has been getting numbers and has been good but Raph has just simply been better and arguably best player in the world on form rn and I want to have the 3 midfielders in more so Yh. Lewy easily slots up front and Lamine takes the right without much fuss
I agree with this 11
Only change is I'll rather have Casado-Fede in my base
Pedri has been very good, but the fact that Fede has been important and Casado is doing a job which we lacked last season, that is also important. So I have both in my 11
Bro loves glazing Trent 😂😂😂🤦♂️
i have the excatly same 11 except personally im picking casado, but u cant go wrong with valverde either
Personall I'd start Raphina on the left and Jude in the 10 but overall I agree.
Agree with ur lineup except for valverde. This comes from a die hard Barca fan and if I could any players from Madrid, always been valverde. His attitude work rate is second to none and he’s very humble. He’s the most underrated player in the world. But against Casado this year no chance. M sorry. And it makes me sick to see vini in the lineup but there is no competition on that side. Very talented but absolutely stinky attitude.
But bro I love ur channel. Visca Barca
Vini is very underrated atm. He’s solo carrying your attack, makes me wonder how we would look with a player like him in our team seeing how we’re basically playing without a Left Winger.
I’ll give you Fede Valverde even though i myself think it should be Casado because he’s been unplayable IMO
You had to fight for Valverde. Or that team would be all Barcelona lol
It’s ur team and ur opinion. So doesn’t matter if ur biased or not.
We can all make the same argument for Casado and how good he has been for Barcelona.
You should've done it with Mitchi😢
My tribal chief ☝🏼
Solo?😂😂😂😂
agreed mate gonna ignore the stats frede and vini have been why real is where they are right now
Pedri definitely has the killer final pass. I’ve seen Lewandowski waste so many of his beautiful passes
As a barca fan I agree with the entire team. maybe the carvajal we saw at the euros could take kounde's spot
I agree with ur squad
It was perfect, I can't deny it wallah, the only player that could be there is Casado, but that is just because fede has been very important this year(always), for me as a barsa fan I love fede and he is amazingly good, and except el clasico I haven't watched any even full 45 minutes of madrid but I know how good he is. And that is of course not appreciating Casado cause I love him and for me in terms of importance he is the second most importan player for us after the goat lamin.
by the way, the computer just tried to start talking Arabic, when you tried to write Mbape's name.
I cant lie a fede and pedri pivot would cook 🔥🔥🔥
Vini Lewandowski Yamal
Pedri. Bellingham. Fermin or Casado.
Balde. Cubasi Martinez or Militao. Carvajal.
Am a Madrid Fan
As a Barca fan, i can admit that Fede is a spectacular player, but you titled the video Combined Real Madrid V Barcelona SO FAR THIS SEASON, emphasis on the SO FAR THIS SEASON, and Casado has been second to none in Europe in that 6 position. I mean I would have Casado for Fede, Swap Vini for Raphinha, then the number 10 would go to Jude for me.
Faisal guardiola 🎉 ......... We want to see you managing real madrid 😂😅
By January we'll be hearing Vini for Balon D'or believe me.
Madridistas🤦🏻♂️
Imo Raphinha deserves it more than him so far this season...
ey man this is looking like Barca starting lineup
As a Barca fan
I think you should've given the 10 position to Bellingham, not taking anything away from Raphinha who's had an incredible season
Bellingham has been soooooo! underrated this season, for real
Raphinha has been good because there's a team supporting him, but Jude on the other hand has had to carry plays on his own and nobody supported him 💔
Would remove valverde for casado but its difficult to ignore the importance of valverde for RM
"If you don't rate pedri i don't take you srsly" So true🤣💯
Cassado needs to be here he's been the most consistent.
Biggest Barca fan here. This would be my controversial starting 11 (with notes after):
Olmo*check note* Rodrigo Lamine
Jude
Casado Pedri
Balde inigo Cuba Kounde
Cortois
....
Reasoning:
Goalie we agree, so no comment.
Same with defence...
Double pivot pedri Casado, I think we can agree that this has been one of the best duo in Europe (I'm gonna cover Valverde down 👇, cos I also agree with you but imma be utilising him differently)...
Lamine I guess there is no argue there...
Jude, Rodrigo and Olmo*... This is where the controversy begin.
Lemme start by explaining why I did not include Vini even though I know he's the best winger in the world... The reason is basically the same reason I wanted Neymar out of my team even though he's one of our legends; that is the personality. I hate to watch a player being so good, but at the end all that enjoyment to be taken away because of the player's ill personality... I would rather cut the player from my team altogether regardless if they were the best, cos again I would not enjoy watching him.
Why did I put an asterisk on Olmo, because honestly I'm not sure!! I may put Gavi or Valverde over there on the left wing to be a false wing... (With his pacy Balde is he can cover the left wing, and that's why I'm having the more defensive CDM on the left side to cover just in case)...
Between Gavi and Valverde, under normal circumstances I would choose Gavi, but this season, as you've mentioned, and given that Gavi is injured, I would choose Valverde instead of Olmo... But Olmo has also been so good so it's really tough honestly :( lemme move to my choice for cam which might justify leaving Olmo out of the team...
Actually I lied, I'll not mention the cam position separately, I'll explain it along with my striker choice; aight I'm crazy I admit, for not choosing Lewa, but hear me out...
I would choose the Jude Rodrigo combo merely based on the glimpses I saw last season, Rodrigo playing false 9 with Jude having the freedom in the front 🔥 combine that with Lamine going inside sometimes and can be rotating with Jude and Rodrigo... Rodrigo Jude Lamine rotating triangle 🤤🤤🤤🤤
If it wasn't for what I saw from this combo last season, my cam would have been Raphinha or Olmo... And of course my 9 would be Lewa.
Funny I mention this because I value intelligence more than I value skill, but I do believe my starting 11 of choice excel at both...
Gavi/Valverde Rodrigo Lamine
Jude
Casado Pedri
Balde inigo Cuba Kounde
Cortois
....
What do think? 😁
Only correct answer:
Courtois
Kounde Cubarsi Inigo Balde
Pedri Casado Valverde
Yamal Lewa Vini/ Raphinha (neither are wrong imo)
Honestly, I'd rather casado over pedri, he's just been the more important player and at times our best midfielder, he's especially surprised in big games as well
Bro this comment section is just barca fans
Casado has to be in there imo
Before watching video i would like to give my starting XI (as a barca fan)
GK - Thibout Courtois (has made great saves multiple games)
RB - Jules Kounde
CB - Inigo Martinez (great defender with efficient offside traps)
CB - Antonio Rudiger (Not in form but has scored cruital goal and been decent defensivly)
LB - Alejandro Balde (Mendy is horrible)
CM - Fede Valverde (2nd best midfielder itw)
CM - Pedri (best midfielder)
CM - Marc Casado (his defensive and passing abilties has been incredible)
RW - Lamine Yamal
LW - Raphinha (close call with vini mostly because raphinha hasn't been great without Yamal)
ST - Robert Lewandowski
EDIT: After watching video if i would do the same formation as Faysal did i would also put CAM raphinha and LW Vinicius. But i wanted to go by position that they are regarded as in games but i know that raphinha ain't playing as a pure winger.
Thanks for the great unbiased video!
I rather have cubarsi more then rudiger this season but everything else I agree
Raphinha and yamal has played every game together except from 1 game where everyone played bad😂 so idk how we judging off 1 game
@@SpaceThing-e6j im debating about it right now have been editing the list but i think i will keep rudiger. I feel like he has been best madrid defender and needs his respect
@@itshurtt395 i agree i might have overreacted. But vini ain't that far apart from raphinha. Been madrids best player has created goals and everything. In my opinion biggest reason why madrid hasn't lost few games in the league
@inde6421 it's you opinion so I won't really start an argument 👍
Faisal the first person to do a combined eleven after the match has taken place 😂😭
Only change id make is put Dani in that 10
I agree.. otherwise there in no combined..its just Barca..
Classifying Raphinha as a CAM just to sneak in Vinicius is ridiculous, he’s not been as effective or good as Raphinha and has not been a difference maker. I’d put Olmo and Raphinha regardless of his play time . He’s been more effective in the short time he’s been on the pitch .
Just cause valverde has been under appreciated doesn’t mean he should be in there instead of Casado, I gotta go with Casado for this season so far
With out watching i already know he will pick
In my opinion Vini is the best player in the whole world even if Madrid is playing bad. So would have to make way for Vini regardless of what Raphinha has been showing for the past couple of months. This is only because he has players like Lamine and Pedri who are supporting him creatively and Lewa to finish most of the chances, I would say try imagining the same Barca team and replacing Raphinha with Vini, Barca will basically win each game 10-0. Think about the number of big chances that Vini creates just by himself and having lewandowski finishing them or him being assisted by Pedri Lamine Olmo or Casado and him burying that top corner 🤐
The only reason he looks bad right now is because of Mr. Mbappe, if Mbappe starts finishing those big chances, this would be a completely different story.
Regardless Vini is literally the best player in the world no doubt about it.
nah the system crashing on mbappé was legit golden 😭🙏🏾
