F.A. Cup Final: Who starts in the number 10 role?

[Nick]

Play 4231 and play them both in ‘wider floating 10 roles’ and play Nacho just behind Vardy through the middle.

 

Ricardo Fofana Soyunco Castagne

 

.............Ndidi Tielemans

 

.........Perez Nacho Maddison

 

....................Vardy

[Vacamion]

 

Perez, to be subbed for Madders if it is not going right.

 

But not by much.

 

Neither is sparkling just now.

Madders every day of the week. Perez offers absolutely nothing. At least you know Maddison has got a bit magic in there somewhere, even if he is struggling for form at the moment.

I'd start with a fit Madderz and see if he goes missing then bring Ayoze on.

Different types of players but JM10 shades it for me as he's always got something special in his locker and has a better strike ratio 

I’d rather start with Perez and if it doesn’t work bring on madderz. To me the overall shift by Perez adds more to us. 
 

plus JM adds so much more coming from the bench. If it goes to extra time I’d rather have him on for it than the other way round 

[Tielemans63]

Madders for me. Neither in great form but I think we're more likely to get a moment of magic from Madders than Ayoze. Usually Perez offers more defensively but I thought he got turned with regular ease this evening and offered diddly squat in attack.

[Scanchez]

Madderz.

 

He'll be up for it.

[Blue-fox]

Perez to start as his work rate is a lot higher than Maddison. Once he’s blowing swap them round. Or if we’re winning bring on Praet

[Jakemoore]

As if Perez is winning the vote. Have you seen him play? He contributes literally nothing to the team. 

[st albans fox]

Madders didn’t start today because he’s starting on Saturday 

[Hammo]

Maddison can be annoyingly unproductive but he is a potential match winner whereas Perez is not - and always plays better as a sub. If Maddison is fully fit, he must start. The Wembley stage could bring out the best in him.

[Gubbins]

We just cant start Perez. Against even half decent opposition he isnt up to the job and Chelsea are a lot better than that. Maddison may be in poor form but you do not improve matters by playing Perez in his place. If you dont start maddison you change the formation and play praet instead.

Personally I wouldn't play either. We can't carry on like we have in the last few games and expect a result against the most in form team in the PL. I'd play 433 with Vardy LW, Nacho through the middle with Under at RW. Behind them a flat no nonsense 3 of Ndidi, Tielmans & Mendy/Praet. Go full on counter attack. That would really f**k up Chelsea's game plan 😂

You would play Under, a loan player who has done very little in his time here and won't be here after this season, over players that have performed for us time and time again and most probably will be here next season. I know there can't be any sentiment when it comes to a final and we ain't going to start Fuchs and Morgan for the sake of it, but to suggest starting Under over Maddison or Perez is madness! 

[Sunbury Fox]

Can't believe the majority of us want Perez to start over Maddison. Really??

So will Perez? 

[funkyrobot]

Perez impacts much better off the bench. When he starts he doesn’t have the same influence. Maddison to start.

Hmm you say this but he made a few big interceptions. He wasted them but on another day it leads to something 

[Deano79]

I worry about people who’d pick Pérez 

[splinterdream]

more hate for maddison.

 

fact is theres every chance if we keep it tight, theres a free kick or madders gets to the edge of the box and hits a pearler, can you honestly see that with Perez?
