France Football Formation

Creation DateSeptember 5, 2011

Lineup (4-2-1-3)

H. Lloris · M. Sakho · P. Mexès · E. Abidal · C. Jallet · R. Mavuba · Lass · C. Chantôme · K. Benzema · C. N'Zogbia · K. Gameiro

Lloris is one of the best goalkeppers in Europe
Sakho is the best centerback of his generation (only 21!) and could play in the best teams on Earth; Mexès is strong and has experrience
Jallet is so under-rated and reminds me Willy Sagnol: precise and subtil offensively and serious devensively; and Abidal is full member of the best team of our times: Barcelone.
Mavuba proved he was a serious midfielder winning the title in Ligue 1 as a captain of the LOSC; and Lass is a "luxury joker" in the Real Madrid, but is in serious concurrency with Sami Khedira and could win his spot in Madrid's 11 starting players.
Clément Chantôme played a stunning season 2010-11 in PSG and could bring a little touch of fantasy and technicity in this team, as a good dribbler.
Benzema has at last won his spot after a 40 M€ move at Real Madrid, taking Higuain's spot. N'Zogbia has become an important Premier League player, being rewarded by a move in Aston Villa this summer.
Last but not least, Gameiro can fully express his talent since moving in PSG this summer, after being twice second best Ligue 1 scorer with Lorient (17 and 22 goals)
