Manager is LVG (United) with Frank de Boer (Palace) as his assistant.
Best PL XI..... but from eleven different clubs
- Thread starter BeforeKeanetherewasRobson
- Start date
Prefer Blackburn Shearer. Proper goal machine who was deadly within 30 yards of goal. More mobile pre injury too.
Thinking is that Makelele would free up Gerrard and Silva nits it together amid all the hustle and bustle.
Van Der Sar (Fulham)
Coleman (Everton)

Agree on both. Makalele (and a 433) is a really good call, it's just that I'm a 442 junkie.
Robinson (Leeds)
Carr (Spurs)
Kompany (Manchester City)
Perry (Wimbledon)
Robertson (Hull)
Gerrard (Liverpool)
Lampard (Chelsea)
Hamman (Newcastle)
Ronaldo (Manchester United)
Henry (Arsenal)
Juninho (Middlesbrough)
Not sure how many games Juninho played for Boro, but 100 games is not the best rule anyway IMO.

Not 100.
A hundred was just some arbitrary figure I plucked out late last night to avoid the 'one hit' wonders and get some players with a bit of a PL/club track record.
I'm assuming Perry/Wimbledon is Chris and not Fred?

Kante didn't make 100 appearances for Leicester
Cant believe I'm the only one who's got Scholes in my side 
Love to have him but that's the challenge.... WHICH United player do you choose?Cant believe I'm the only one who's got Scholes in my side
Quiet you.
Chris Perry.

First time I've seen Mellberg listed ... fair shout, on his day, he was a good CH (maybe not consistent, though not playing in a decent side either.)
A quick chosen 11:
Friedel (Blackburn)
Zabaleta (West Ham)
van Dyke (Southhampton)
Kompany (Man City
Baines (Everton)
Lampard (Chelsea)
Kante (Leicester)
Özil (Arsenal)
Salah (Liverpool)
Kane (Spurs)
Ronaldo (Man utd)
Fair line up!

Do you want an eleventh player too?
Hit the post button too soon. It's now amended.
Convinced I now have the best team
Van der Sar - Fulham
Baines - Everton
Kompany - City
McGrath - Aston Villa
Ivanovic - Chelsea
Bale - Spurs
Keane - United
Gerrard - Liverpool
Ferdinand - QPR
Shearer - Newcastle

Surprised not more picked Ferdinand. He was superb in his QPR days...he carried the entire QPR-side for several seasons and scored 1 goal in 2
