Your goal is to set up a 4-2-3-1 (no goalkeeper) such that all the
players are very good in a particular skill.

You can pick any player in the world; the only limitation is that you
can't pick a player that has already been picked by another RSSer *for
the same ability*.

If you play someone out of position he scores 0 points (instead of a
max of 1), so comply to reality! :)

You can submit up to 4 different teams (same or different skills).

Deadline: July 27, 23:59 GMT.

The skills you can choose from are:
Acceleration
Adaptability
Aggression
Agility
Ambition
Anticipation
Balance
Bravery
Composure
Concentration
Consistency
Controversy

Dirtiness

Example: this is the perfect Penalties XI:

(if you reach extra-times against them, don't settle for a draw!)

Details (you don't really need to read them!)

4-2-3-1 means:
D R / WB R
D C / SW
D C / SW
D L / WB L
DM / MC
DM / MC
AM R / M R
AM C / M C
AM L / M L
F C / ST
(abbreviations should be stragthforward)

The score of each player will be given by this formula:
( current_global_value * value_in_that_skill ) / 4,000

Positions, global values, values in each skill: everything is taken
from Football Manager 2010.

Sorry, little fix to the rules:

> You can pick any player in the world; the only limitation is that you
> can't pick a player that has already been picked by

you or by

another RSSer *for
> the same ability*.

(necessary since you can submit more than a team for the same skill)

Here's an easy one: Injury-prone XI (yeah, I could just pick the whole Juve
line-up, but I'll try to do better):

RB: Zebina (captain!)
CB: Agger
CB: Nesta
LB: Chivu (couldn't think of anybody better on the fly...)
DM: C. Zanetti
DM: Mohammed Sissoko (Juve)
AMR: Rosicky
AMC: Joe Cole
AML: Robben
S: Iaquinta

Gosh, I feel terrible at leaving out Aquilani, but a manager has to make
some difficult choices...
