Group-mind team selector
WCC is inviting its readership to participate in an experiment which can harness the power of group-mind. All you have to do is select the England team that you think should play in the friendly against Egypt at Wembley on Wednesday. We will add up the totals and present the aggregated team shortly before kick-off. (Fabio Capello’s squad can be viewed by clicking here).
You can choose from three options under each of the core formations. For example, under 4-5-1 you get the standard 4-5-1 itself, or the more finely configured 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1 with staggered midfields. (Click here to view graphical representations of the formations.)
Just some notes on the calculation:
- The most selected formation will be used
- Then the player selections are calculated: this is based on the number of times a player is picked for a specific position
eg: Gerrard is picked 100 times overall – 70 at left-midfield; 30 at centre-midfield
James Milner is picked 90 times overall – 80 at left-midfield; 10 at centre-midfield
Milner would be selected for left-midfield, despite receiving fewer votes than Gerrard overall, by virtue of being picked most times for the particular position.
Please place your selections in the comments [only one set per person please] in the following format, or similar:
