Your current world eleven

lorddulaarsenal

Off season is well boring. Discussing dubious rumours, training methods and the fantastic mr. Fox's alopecia wears thin. (No pun intended foxy).

We all seem to have different tastes in players and footy style so why don't we capture world elevens we'd find both effective and who have swag.

Exclude messi n ronaldo to make it fun.

Currently I'd go

------------Ibrahimovic
--------Reus-----------Gotze
---------Iniesta------xavi
--------------Busquets
alba--koscielny-badstubber-Lahm

----------------neuer

Irishgunner

---------------------Ibra
Ronaldo----------------------------Messi
------Schweinsteiger----Vidal
---------------------Pirlo
Alaba---Chiellini-----------Silva---Lahm
--------------------Neuer

Cos it's in your name.

------------ Falcao ------------
Cavani --- Iniesta ---- Suarez
-- Schweinsteiger -- Toure --
Alba - Silva - Chiellini - Lahm
---------- Cech ----------------

Excluding Messi and Ronaldo:

----------- Van Persie ----------
Bale ------ Fabregas ---- Goetze
----- Busquets -- Toure --------
Marcelo - Koscielny - Silva - Lahm
------------ Buffon -------------

Plenty of awful cunts, but no morons.

This is 'my dream players to have in the team' currently:

Buffon - Alaba - Dante - Koscielny - Lahm - Vidal - Schweinsteiger - Cesc - Ribery - Ibrahimovic - Reus

This is more likely closer to the real 'best XI without CR and Messi' though:

Casillas - Marcelo - Silva - Ramos - Lahm - Busquets - Toure - Xavi - Iniesta - Ibrahimovic - Ribery

You could just stick a striker and a defender into Bayern's line-up and call it a day.

Time to go for a non-mainstream team

------------Handanovic
Piszczcek Koscielny Varane Alba
-----------Modric Bender
Gotze-------Hamsik---------Isco
--------------Falcao

TambourineMan

-------------Neuer--------------
Lahm----Silva----Barzagli----Alaba
-Xavi--Martinez--Schweinsteiger-
----Bale--van Persie--Iniesta----

TambourineMan

Also, if you add Ronaldo and Messi to a team excluding the 11 players you'd initially picked, which would be better?

For me, second team would be:

------------Buffon------------
Alves----Ramos--Dante----Alba
--------Vidal--Busquets--------
-Ribery----Fabregas----Ronaldo-
-----------Messi---------------

And would probably win.

😆 That's almost exactly what i conjured up yesterday but decided that the result was too lame to post.

Another thing i noticed when trying to come up with the list is how there is a real shortage of quality right wingers.

If you're going 433 and sticking with genuine starting positions, it has to be Muller this season.
