Yaya is big, tall and black but that don’t make him a DM at all


I’m going Rijkaard, Pirlo, KDB

The only player who can defend well on that block is Rijkaard and I love defensive stability. In a 4:2:3:1, I'll start him as my DM in a double pivot with Yaya Toure. In the #10 role I'll play Zidane but I feel Iniesta offers more control. Yaya stopped playing as a DM when he left Barca in 2009/2010. Paired with Barry, Dejong, Fernandinho and sometimes played as a 10 since he moved to city.

4:3:3. Iniesta...Rijkaard....Yaya is my choice.

No midfielder there is as effective as KDB and as icing on the cake, he “had” legs to cover ground.

I suppose Yaya is your AM or box to box but then, he holds on to the ball too long when given freedom.

I think Pirlo will struggle massively with modern football.

Na true ooo. I completely forgot KDB. His recent form blinded my eyes kai. He's the best to complement my team.

It's Iniesta...Rijkard....KDB. This is my choice.

One cannot pick a very balanced midfield 3 from this list.

Mix am well with AM, CM and DM then one can pick his preferred balanced midfield 3.

I think he's the rage bait and you can see that we're reacting negatively to his inclusion lol 😂

Swiz add players like Redondo, Makele, Petit, Viera, Gerrard, Sedoorf, Rodri, Lampard, Scholes, Carrick in place of Blacktominay.

AM is not where control comes from. An AM is someone who burst opposition defensive lines not controlling the ball, and Iniesta was both a poor controller and a poor attacker

Control comes from CM and DM

Okay cool



On my formation, it was a flat 4:3:3 with Iniesta as the LCM, Yaya as RCM and Rickard as the CDM. The job of Yaya here was the box to box. Iniesta and Yaya are my double 8 here. I completely forgot about KDB and have since removed Yaya for him.

In a 4:2:3:1 where 10 exist, it's a different scenario.
