Valdes
Van Der Wiel-Badstuber-Papadopolous-Oviedo
Montolivo-Gundogan-Strootman
Walcott-Gomez/Benteke-El Shaarawy/Rodriguez

Honorable mentions: Bender, Thiago, Montes, Van Der Vaart, Saborio, Silvio

You could put Bender in midfield for defensive solidarity. Gomez and El Shaarawy are technically fit now but were not taken due to being injured for most of the season so you could replace them with Benteke and Jay Rodriguez if you are being picky. Falcao to obviously replace Gomez/Benteke if he does not make it.

This team would go to the semis imo hmm
