i can't belive that fabregas is not in the squad!? not because he's arsenal player, it's because he is the only playmaker in that squad, and one of the best in the world!!
aragones, WTF!?

It makes sense for Aragones to play Iniesta and Xavi over Fabregas, they do play together every week at Barca.

yes but they are not playmakers! it's the most important position on the field and xavi and iniesta are "ordinary" midfielders!

Nah Iniestas a star and Xavi's passing is amazing but I think Cesc should be starting, Aragones is a t**t anyway.
Reinvestment before Renewal.

Xavi is an amazing passer although i think Iniesta is one of most overrated players in the world. He is really good but no better than say Arteta or De Rossi, i respect his talent but he is no world superstar as he is often made out to be.

I would play Fabregas just because they have looked better when he is in the team and he quickens the game up which will suit Villa and Torres.
