Re: Two players

The thing about this question is presumably if you're just starting a 
team (albeit one with any two superstars you want)you're not going to be 
playing in that many CL finals.  Survival/respectability as the aim is 
the way I looked at it.  I.e., with Toldo and Ruud VN you could give me 
DC United's other nine starters and we'd finish top half of the table in 
any league.
