Well before the real thing starts we should consider the team we have as a training one.
From what I undersand, points will be erased on the 7th to start anew.
What I didn't get was : will we have to create a team once again and start a new tournament, or will we go on the way it is with zero point so that more people could join?
It wasn't clear for me; even with the French text; I think it's the start all over again bit that will prevail.
Either way, I'll keep you updated.
As for Anelka, the 23 players selected for France are :
Goalkeepers : Coupet as #1; subs are Mandanda and Frey
Defenders : from left to right, most plausible starters : Abidal, Gallas, Thuram, Sagnol; replacements are Evra, Squilacci, Boumsong, Clerc. It's hard to tell who could enter a game from Squilacci and Boumsong. I wouldn't bet on them. Sagnol has been injured a lot, so Clerc has chances to play a few minutes here and there. Abidal can play fullback, so Evra too has a chance.
Midfielders : defensive ones : Makelele, Vieira, with Toulalan and Diarra as subs - Toulalan being quite good.
Midfielders : offensive ones : Ribéry, Malouda, with Govou and Nasri as subs.
Forwards : most probably Henry with either Anelka or Benzema, and Gomis as third sub. I think Anelka will start more often than Benzema.
