Ribery and Tevez play in different positions? Dont they?
 
Benezema has only playd in the french league and the last time a french club side has gone past the group stages in europe is when?

Yeah, Tevez can play more centrally but SAF likes 433 at the mo with CR7 spearheading the attack (as berbatov has not been all that flash) and players with higher workrates, rooney, park and tevez on the flanks. this is for bigger matches, ie champs league, against weaker opposition cr7 is deployed on the flanks. Ribery would be better than park or tevez on the flanks and can allow cr7 to play up front and switch with rooney

I am going with benzema as a bit of a gamble, has tremendous pace and could be Torresish.

Lyon made the first knockout stage this year where they ran into Barcelona and lost 6-3 over two legs, last year same stage and lost to Man Utd 2-1 over two legs and have gone past the group stages for sometime. Even topped a group including real madrid a few years ago. Lille have also gotten past the group stages in recent seasons and I would expect Bordeaux to do the same next year, Gourcuff is a great player.
