When it comes to the world of entertainment, movies, video games and soccer are all near and dear to our hearts. With the release of Alien: Covenant, the Friday the 13th video game and Saturday's Champions League final, we naturally had the idea of creating a starting XI that consists of horror movie icons.
The Starting XI of Horror Movie Icons
The best formation for this squad would be a simple 4-4-2. The reason behind this is the fact that anything else would probably confuse our players. Along with the simplicity of the formation, the 4-4-2 allows the team to have enough defensive depth to withstand any attack, but it also gives the team the ability to counterattack, and this team likes to attack.
Let's take a closer look at our squad.
