My point in your case was more about how differently your team would work with the early Lampard rather than the more recent 20-goal a season one. No doubt it would be a cracking team, but it would be more reliant on the wing play while, not being tied to a specific year, what you actually have are top-form options to be incisive both on the flanks and through the middle.

Fair enough. Lampard did improve a lot by just playing in a better side. But he definitely got much better about 3 years later.
I'm a fan of Forlán with Uruguay. A shame that they're so good now and he's at the end of his career. Similar situation with Iceland. Guðjohnsen past his prime and suddenly there's a proper midfield to feed of.
