consequence, it won't be valid for Fantasy Scout), it's interesting to
look at the squads for the upcoming Catalonia vs. Argentina clash:

Gerard Piqué
Carles Puyol

Sergio González
Sergio Busquets
Joan Verdú
Moisés Hurtado
Xavi Hernández
Cesc Fàbregas
Marc Crosas
Gabri García

Óscar Serrano
Bojan Krkić
Sergio García
Ferran Corominas

Argentina (with scouts and pickable players):

Mariano Andújar
Diego Pozo - pickable

Cristian Álvarez - pickable
Cristian Ansaldi - pickable
Martín Demichelis
Nicolás Otamendi - Enzo
Emiliano Papa
Nicolas Pareja - pickable

Pablo Aimar
Éver Banega - Alberto

Nonsense. We already went over this a while ago. Valdes is better.

I'm not arguing with you about the outcome, only about the two
particular pairing instances that I thought were incorrect, but why do
you resort to tricks now? Is it important to you to prove Castilla
superior to Catalunya, or what?

I thought you were joking ( Valdés > Casillas ). Seriously, not
too many people ( apart from me ) think that.

As to the 2nd question, my ratings were based on generally perceived
opinion.
I then changed the 2 to reflect my personal opinion.

Not obvious at all. David Silva, Valencia, is a guaranteed starter for
Spain when fit, whereas Fabregas is not. However, they don't play
exactly the same position. Silva is more likely to play out wide.

He has been playing more centrally for Valencia than for NT.
I compared them as attacking midfielders.

I substantially agree, even if Capdevilla vs. Arbeloa, Xavi vs.
Iniesta, Fabregas vs. Silva are pretty close, so the outcome could be
anything between 6-5 and 3-8.
