Use a 4-3-3 formation.
Center Forward - Falcao
Forward - Messi
Forward - Christiano Ronaldo
Midfield - Mesut Ozil
Midfield - Santi Carzola
Midfield - Xabi Alonso
Left Back - Filipe Louis
Center Back - Javi Martinez
Center Back - Sergio Ramos
Right back - Dani Alves
Keeper - Gorka Iraizoz
Falaco had 24 goals, third most in La Liga. He is a feared striker and belongs on this team. All three forwards are no-brainers really. Messi and Ronaldo are two of the best players in the world, not just La Liga.
In midfield, I have the La Liga leader in assists (Ozil, who had 17) coupled with a leathal scorer from distance in Carzola, one of the most complete midfielders in La Liga and Xabi Alonso, an absolute stud defensive midfielder.
My defense features two center backs playing out of their "natural" position but are without a doubt adapting well. Both turned in impressive performances for their clubs. At the wing backs, there is Alves whom is essentially an extra attacker and is a dangerous scoring threat and Louis, who helped turn Athletico into one of the best defenses in the league.
Iraizoz turned in the best performance in net for any team in La Liga.

Two defenders? Sorry Frog, but this team looks awful.
If you're all about the offense, how can you not include Falaco? He was the best scorer in La Liga not named Messi or Ronaldo. He HAS to be on this team; you leaving him off is perplexing.
Casillas didn't have as good of a season as Iraizoz. My keeper saved 74% of his shots faced, best of any La Liga keeper with more than 30 shots. Higher than even Casillas. Iraizoz faced 148 shots compared to only 85 faced by Casillas; not only was my keeper tested more, he made more saves. Casillas shouldn't be on this team, Iraizoz should.
Your team is "all about offense" but would never really be practical. Puyols is old and aging, his play is regressing. My two CBs absolutely are better; just because they aren't on Barca doesn't mean you should pass over them. My two wing backs are also very good compliments, with Alves being one of the best offensive forces in the league (not just for defenders) and Louis is one of the best defenders.
My team is much more well rounded. Better keeper, better scorers, better and more realistic defense. Better team.

Well i would see how my team performed..
if they were conceding too much, i would dump villa and benzema..
put in alves at the back, an i"d be set..
obviously, i would expect my midfield to play defence too..
villa and benzema are replacable..
My team has guys that have ben there before..
your team would fold!

Baesd on 2011-2012... Villa? David Villa missed most of the season with a broken leg... He's only just started making substitute appearances and we're in 2012-2013.
