but it's the best and atm there is no REAL starting formation cause they're still in a test-phase 
furthermore there are some mistakes in the gold-file squad. e.g.
Ernst (GK) instead of Ernst (DMF) (or maybe Hildebrandt (GK))
Or Rehmer who's last game was in 2003.
first, you`re right with rehmer ernst and hildebrandt, but I doubt your starting fomation is really the "best", in my opinion it`s more of a fantasy team rather than the actual formation.
(btw what is a REAL starting formation)
In my opinion the roster should be as actual as possible, and contain the best players who reallly played in the last matches
wolf: here`s germany`s team roster of last weeks match vs. argentina
http://www.dfb.de/dfb-team/nationalteam/team/index.html
and here the starting formation of the argentina match:
----------------------- Lehmann
Owomoyela, Mertesacker, Wörns, Hitzlsperger
B. Schneider, Frings, F. Ernst, Schweinsteiger (74. Schulz)
-----------------Kuranyi, Asamoah (29.Freier)
as there were only 19 players nominated I hope everyone will agree that there should also be ballack, lahm (although he`s injured atm) and hildebrandt in the team
Although Lehmann played last match I think first keeper is Kahn who is playing well again this season, while Lehmann had big Problems in London
I would also like to see podolski as fifth forward, cause he often played in the previous matches (brasil, asia tourney) and seems to be germany`s greatest talent atm
here is my version of the starting 11
gk---Kahn
cbt--Mertesacker
cbt--Wörns
rb---Owomoyela
lb----Lahm
cmf--Ballack
cmf--Frings
rmf--Schneider
lwf---Schweinsteiger
rwf---Asamoah
cf-----Kuranyi
