Goalkeepers

I would recommend the 6"5 keeper Vladimir Stojkovic to take your number one spot at Serbia. He plays for Sporting CP and is 24 years old. He has 11 caps for his country to date and as you can see he has many decent attributes. Reflexes, one on ones, throwing and many good Physical attributes. As always though there will be competition for places and the number 2 spot is taken by keeper Vlada Avramov who is 28 years old and has 1 cap for Serbia, he has good handling and decent reflexes attributes. Number 3 keeper is a potential star, 18 year old Zivko Zivkovic who plays for Partizan has very good reflexes and has been capped at U'21 level. One for the future for sure.

Defender Left

I would start 21 year old Lazio player Aleksandar Kolarov who has 1 cap to his name. Don't let his inexperience put you off, you can see from the screen shot that he has good pace, corner taking abilities, crossing, free-kicks and technique. The sub for Aleksandar would be highly rated Chelsea player Slobodan Rajkovic who is currently on loan at PSV on the game. He is 18 years old and has good attributes in areas such as tackling, creativity and influence. Keep watch on him, he is one for the future.

Defender Right

There is only one right back at the squad currently so you will need to search for a back up player to the current right back who is Branislav Ivanovic. Branislav is 23 years old and has 4 caps for the Serbia national team. As you can clearly see from the screen shot he has good heading abilities, tackling abilities, good stamina and is very quick. Looks quite promising. As I said earlier you will need to call up a replacement, there are too many to mention but just take a quick browse as there's a few worthy of the spot.

Centre Backs

The obvious choice for the starting Center back would be Nemanja Vidic. Nemanja is 25 years old and plays for Manchester United, he has 27 caps for the Serbian national team. If you look at the screen shot you can see how good he really is and to list a few of his exceptional talents they are Heading, Marking, Tackling, Strength, Bravery, Teamwork and Work rate. He would be willing to put his body on the line for his side. To partner him I would recommend 24 year old Milan Stepanov. Milan plays for Porto and has 6 caps to his name. He has many decent attributes like Tackling, Marking, Heading, Strength and Jumping. Notice something? Quite similar to Nemanja Vidic aren't they? So basically you have two rock solid defenders who will win most challenges for your side. You can use the left/centre back Slobodan Rajkovic as back up if needed.

Left Midfielders

Start star man Dejan Stankovic on the left. Dejan is 28 years old, has had 71 caps scoring 12 goals from midfield in the process. Dejan plays for Italian giants Inter and has many decent attributes as you can see from the screen shot, Passing, Long shots, Work Rate, Off the Ball, Strength and Stamina to say a few. It should also be noted Dejan performs in the big games when it matters. He can be replaced if needed by Palermo's Bosko Jankovic who has 20 for long shots and will end up being the long term replacement for Dejan Stankovic.

Right Midfielders

I would start Zdravko Kuzmanovic, what a star! At only 19 years old he has had 3 caps scoring 2 goals in these 3 games, his stats show how wonderful he really is. He has superb Mental Attributes, Bravery 20 for example. He also has a good first touch, good dribbling skills, passing abilities, work rate and strength. The back up would be Palermo's flexible Bosko Jankovic.

Centre Midielders

For the more attacking centre midfield role I would play Zvonimir Vukic. He plays for Shakhtar and is 28 years old and has had 25 caps so is fairly experienced. He has good Passing, Technique, Penalty Taking, First Touch, Corners, Agility, Flair and Creativity. Alongside him playing a more defensive role would be 49 times capped Igor Duljaj. He too plays for Shaktar so maybe there will be a good understanding between these two in the middle? Anyway Igor has good Marking, Tackling, Work Rate, Concentration, Stamina and Agility. So as you can see he will be good at battling away and making tackles in the midfield.

Strikers

Your main Striker I would say is Valencia player Nikola Zigic. Nikola is 26 years old and has had 21 caps for Serbia scoring 8 goals in the process. He has stats like Finishing at 18, Heading 20 and has decent attributes as you can see in areas like Jumping, Strength, Balance and Positioning. At 6"8 and with his set of stats he would make for the perfect Target man. Alongside him I would play former Chelsea player Mateja Kezman. Mateja has had 49 caps and scored 17 goals in these games. He has a broad range of decent stats and to list a few they are, Penalty Taking, Aggression, Bravery, Determination, Acceleration and Stamina and I am confident he will put the ball in the net along with Nikola for your side. The 1st reserve for these two in my opinion would be Marko Pantelic who is 28 years old and has had 13 caps. He will make an impact when he comes on and has good long Shots capabilities.

Most Exciting Player - Dejan Stankovic
Future Stars - Slobodan Rajkovic, Zdravko Kumanovic
