If a mid table premier league team did not train for one month (No training at all) and only ate junk food, would they beat a team comprised of the best players from the national league?
Fat Premier League Team vs National League Team
- Thread starter Ajr
- Start date
Depends on whether you build a team of players who rely on their physical attributes or a team of players who play the game in their head.
Yeah
Yes
Sounds like the Everton team under Ancelotti according to reports.
I think they would more often than not. Even if you ate rubbish for a month, you've had years of fitness, added to your superior talent, I think they'd win.
My brother plays semi-pro at a decent level in the North East. I watched him play another local side in the cup a few years ago and their left back was an at best average ex-pro for my local side Hartlepool, who I regularly watch (League 2). He absolutely dominated the game from left back. Best player on the pitch. It's all about levels and reading the game I think. The PL players would just be that much quicker moving the ball, less touches, more accurate passing etc.
As an aside, Hartlepool went up from the National League last year with two lads upfront, who've both now left, who scored plenty but who hadn't previously in League 2. That tells you a lot I think.

Viduka and Fat Ronaldo upfront

Change it to 3/6 months
It’s still probably yes, but closer

They'd need to bulk up
Adriano
Fat Aubameyang, Pepe, Xhaka, Holding would lose that game.
I know it's a joke thread but i'm gonna give a serious answer 
Fat bastards run out of uninjured players by half time. National League team wins by default

Puskas is the first name on the team sheet for Fat Bastards XI.
Magnificent. An inspiration.Puskas is the first name on the team sheet for Fat Bastards XI.
Something similar to this happened in 2004 when a Brazil legends side faced Exeter City, Brazil won 1-0 via a penalty from Careca.

Gotta bring Willian back to the U.K. for this one. He’ll pay his contract off to come and play
Arsenal would loose (probably even as they are without the whole ‘getting fat’ thing). Anyone else and it would be an easy win for the Premier League team (unless you told Tottenham the winner gets a trophy)
The European Super Size Me League
Make it happen.
