On the first day of the world cup it's the ultimate day for the time honoured tradition of building the best formation possible, but this time out of DeFi protocols. Introducing: DeFi FC Goalkeeper: In goals we have the ever reliable backstop that has, they'll admit, made a few mistakes over the years, but we all keep coming back to @ledger as a comfort pick anyway Right Back: Ready to charge down the wing in a risky high-yield manoeuvre to get results for the team whilst also being incredibly fixed in defence, @pendle_fi can do it both ways. Right Centre Back: Bringing experience in the centre and a subtle connection to their other centre half, @circle provides the solidity the rest of the team can build off Left Centre Back: One of the new kids on the block who are consistently showing they can play in the big leagues, @capapp brings a reliability and a recent show of synergy with our Left back Left Back: You thought they retired a while back but @Uniswap is still here, swapping the ball from left to right reliably and coming up with new ideas when you least expect it Defensive Midfield: Calm in a crisis and reliable to a T, the backbone of DeFi FC has to be @aave Left Attacking Mid: The pivot that allows the team to transition smoothly, @LayerZero_Core makes sure that the ball gets from back to front as efficiently as possible Right Attacking Mid: One of the key reasons the team flows well, communicating with 0 down time has to be @PythNetwork, so in sync with the team they seem to know things before they happen Left Wing: Cutting in from the Left we have @Ostium. No one really understands what they're going to do next, but boy is it going to be stylish Right Wing: Hailing from Italy and bringing the ability to somehow smoke a pack of (exotic) cigs a day whilst still performing at the top level, it's @Tplus_cx on the right Centre Forward: Has to be @HyperliquidX, clinical, with reliable execution and always open for any opportunities you might see And finally our Substitutes: @jumperapp the perfect super sub, able to slot into any system with ease with proven performance over many years @pepecoineth the OG meme, sometimes you just need to spice things up and throw something completely unexpected onto the pitch and these guys will definitely come up with something @cryptocom its a worldcup and whilst I still don't fully understand who uses them or how they make money they're always there Given this is an exhibition match we need a manager who we all thought had made enough money to just take some time off, but he keeps showing up for some reason and we love it all the same, so it has to be @cobie Predicted score: DeFi FC 2 - TradFi Wanderers 0
