At the back, first choice would have to be Roberto Carlos. The most complete left back in the world, ever. I really wanted Ronaldo up top, a tough choice between the two, but Bobby Charles edges it for me. Centre back choices would be Franco Baresi. You won't find a better centre back. Alongside him Virgil Van Dijk. In midfield, you need a top midfield engine. Pavel Nedved makes everything tick. Outrageous goals. Up next Gheorge Hagi. Goals goals goals. Absolute genius. Ahead of his time. Next up, Roy Keane. Another nutter needed in the centre of midfield. 4th choice midfielder, it will be a wildcard for me on this one. Random choice, a player who never really hit the heights that he should have but was so talented, unbelievably talented. Georgi Kinkladze. Up top, first pick easily goes to Didier Drogba. Absolutely loved watching him play, power strength and pace. Great with his left foot, right foot and good with his head. Next pick, Lionel Messi. Can't really have a team without Messi. Final pick, another wildcard player. But a player I think will become a top top player in time. Erling Braut Haland. So my team would be. Khan Baresi Van Dijk R Carlos Hagi Nedved Keane Kinkladze Messi Drogba Haland Hagi and Messi at barca Hagi and Carlos at Real Edited April 18, 2020 by fudge27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Lol No players who have played for the same club(s) No players of the same nationality Must have played during your lifetime Hint: you need a few one club men and if you include say either Ronaldo then you'll probably not be able to do it.

TheGodfather Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Classic 4-4-2. I'm going from about 95/96 onwards. Taffarel (suspect plenty would say Big Nev was better but I genuinely just don't remember ever watching Southall play) Lahm Vidic Van Dijk Maldini Nedved Zidane De Bruyne Valderrama Messi Shearer Absolutely zero defensive mentality in that midfield, but the back 4 is tidy enough to handle it. No doubt i've missed something somewhere but I think it fits the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birstall Owl Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 When you start you think it's a piece of wee wee, players I left out I had to justify it with the player I left in. for example Zidane instead of Real Ronaldo Maldini instead of Van Basten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lovely team though. David Silva for kinkladze and Gazza in for Hagi works I think? Except Nedved and Gazza played at Lazio.

But Breitner and Puskas both played for Real Madrid, and once again George Best's time in the NASL has screwed things up as both he and Jimmy Johnstone played for the San Jose Earthquakes.
