I think Quiroga is still the starter at LCB? But I could be wrong

[Ace]

Sanchez started 5 matches, Quiroga 2...and Quiroga played because Sanchez was banned (red card)

if you want he can add his as optional (like Ojeda and Fabbiani)

[BiG TeL]

Thanks for the formation Ace.

Can somebody make a set of stats for Barbosa?

[jmg721]

hmm...looking at their stats, Quiroga's stats are actually better than both of the other two. I was very unimpressed with Sanchez in the two Copa matches

[jmg721]

Can somebody make a set of stats for Barbosa?

I have a set ready....just have no time right now to post it.

[Messias18]

The GK is Vega now.

[jmg721]

The Barbosa experiment has already ended

[Jaxinho]

Think the starting 11 needs a update.

Since i see Ortega is back on track it will be hard to place Buonanotte , Ortega and Gallardo in AM and SS positions in starting 11. Guess at least 1 of them will be a sub player. Think it will be Gallardo since Ortega seems in form now.

Ortega as SS and Buonanotte as AM sounds preety good for me in starting 11.

it's funny to see Almeyda as starter

BTW, no arrows in your Formation?

[Il Codino]

The team plays really awful ( I'm fan of River )

Is impossible to know how they play, is a time of great confusion with changes in every game, close to the relegation . For the next match will be changes

[jmg721]

MIDFIELDERS:
# 25 Matías Almeyda

I can't believe that is the same Almeyda I will have seen him a couple times for river after I finish the Huracan match...but I don't dare to take a shot at making stats for this legend.

I will likely have a bunch of stats for this underwhelming squad soon.

[Il Codino]
