Dirk Kuyt.

Oppo's would run in terror mistaking them for Saruman's army.

Can't see anyone beating 11 Gullits. I don't think anybody had such a range of top level physical, technical and mental attributes, and few had such positional versatility through defence, midfield and attack, or in both central and wide areas. He has another edge in being able to play sexy football on the deck as well as excelling in a combative, aerial game.

I'd have thought 11 Maradonas was pretty obvious. You wouldn't get near them.


The more sensible option would be Luis Enrique. Defender/Midfielder/Forward Left/Right/Centre on Championship Manager :lol:

The original 'Sweepers' would suit this thread the most and you cant see past the Germans in that role.

Id go for Matthias Sammer personally. Although Franz Beckenbauer & Lothar Matthäus would be great to.

11 2010-12 Messis, obviously. That team would receive goals (weak CBs and GK) but would score twice as much. Good luck trying to catch the attacking Messis.

11 Xavi's might not give the ball away at all.

Clearly the best team would be Yaya Touré?

11 Lukakku's. The one touch passing would be amazing.

Ideally 11. Duncan edwards. If not phil jones. The diving header tackles and funny faces would be amazing.

11 Beckenbauer or 11 Hierro or 11 Matthaus.

They can defend, play in midfield, and score also.

I’d fancy 11 Patrick Vieiras up against anyone (except for 11 Roy Keanes of course).
Goals, Physicality, tackles, pace, leadership, great engine.
It'd be down to who is the better keeper, might have to go with Vieira because he was quite a bit taller.
