This team need at least a two SB subs, in my OF i put to R. Nilsson and Schwarz instead Hysén and K. Andersson but i'm not a big expert in this NT.
Ibrahimovic is in first team and the reserves .

No Ibra in the 11 starter ? i know, Nordahl is there, but Ibra was the most relevant swedish player of these days.

Bergmark for Ibra, 3-2-5 formation (Nordvist and Nilsson as CB, Anderson as SWP), Ibra and Gren as SS (With Zlatan taking the Short Free Kicks) as optional formation (a more attacking formation, let's say, that it will be the 'swedish onslaught' in-game )

What has done Zlatan for Sweden? Only an amazing taekwondo kick against Italy in 2004, I think it's more than enough he is in the 23 and he doesn't deserve absolutely to be in starting XI.
Guys, you should remember Sweden was a top national team in the 40-50's and players like Simonsson have done much more than Ibra.

You're asking too much

Whatever, the real deal here is to add the back up of Erik Nilsson according to the formation fellow JeanMarc has personal given to this squad (Either Schwarz, Ljung or B. Andersson needs to be in). But then, the 3-2-5 that i suggested can be used perfectly with either Rydell, Ibra or Simonsson alongside Gren behind G. Nordahl.

I am glad to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic is finally among the 23 chosen for Sweden!!
Either he or Nordahl can be in starting XI, it's a personal choice!

Good work!!!

Zlatan made 62 goals for Sweden, 13 more than the earlier record holder Svenne Rydell with 49 goals & Zlatan made them with no backup what so ever. Kim Källström, Sebastian Larsson & Anders Svensson was his best teammates the last couple of years.

Sweden wouldn't even have been in EC in Poland/Ukraine'12 or in France'16 if it wasn't for Zlatan Ibrahimovic!

Team updated.

Guys,where is Freddie Ljungberg? I will assume that you forgot that he exists, one of the best swedish wings of all time. The weakest link in these 23 is Sune Andersson (I don't know why he took that place in the first place).
