From what I've heard people say about the team so far that seems to have been the case.
I watched a video about why Messi in particular is struggling, and apparently he's simply been pushed too far out wide on the wing to be close enough to goal. If he were to be given a more free role at striker he'd probably be putting up much better numbers, but then you still have problems aligning the rest of the attack.
Yeah good analysis!

In practice, I mean that even one team would get 11 of the best players in the world = it really isn’t proof of the team’s future success automatically, at least right away - and in that case hardly ever!

Although it is nice to spin dream teams "on paper"!
