A lot of strong teams well balanced. The ones in bold, I think are picked a little early or simply don't like (reference to you know who)

i think @Stobzilla has put together a very interesting team, which may not be rated all that highly
most of the teams have me going wow but I am going to be voting for losers most of the time

Desailly had a stellar PL career bang in the middle of his prime as a cb, so rather unfair to club him with the other two.

Indeed. Ballack and Gullit weren't anywhere close to their peak levels, Desailly was bang on.

Certainly did for Germany until his injury in 2010. I'd say it was more a case of Ballack actually being the most versatile and selfless midfielder and therefore the one who accepted the supporting role in the team more than a past his peak thing. If Gerrard or Lampard had been capable of doing the same in the nationalteam, England might have actually reached a semifinal or even more in a tournament.

I guess the question from Berba is more about whether Ballack-Vieira would have worked. I'm still not clear about it myself. Peak Ballack? Awesome pair. Chelsea's? Dunno, seems to me it would end up being a rather meh midfield because you don't want either to play a supporting role to the other and I don't think that Ballack had the engine for playing two B2Bs.

Ok chaps so, my next two picks (so hard being 1st or last in these things as you have to wait bloody ages for your next pick).

Taken a bit of time to figure out which positions to focus on this time round but can't pass up these two...

Would be a fool to pass up the opportunity to link Shearer with his partner in crime at Newcastle. The year before Les Ferdinand had been voted PFA Player of the Year after 25 goals in 37 games. The following year Shearer joined and they were both unstoppable. 8th on the all time top Premier League scorers list...his 5 goals in 17 England appearances don't do this guy justice. Strong as an ox, clever, great in the air and a deadly finisher.

Next up and with left sided midfielders low on the ground....John Barnes. Pinnacle of his career may well have been prior to Premier League but his football brain, trickery, delivery of set pieces and finishing were still top notch. With the energy of Yaya alongside him to get the very best from him, he'll fit into my side very nicely indeed.

I'm not sure why he picked Barnes. The moment he picked Ferdinand, he desperately needs a holding midfielder alongside Yaya.
 
As expected, my list has been decimated this round.
There are some great 6th round picks up there!

Nah, I'm sure has an excellent alternative on his mind, if I'm not off here that is, and one might even argue he is better than Walker.
 
Mjj has gone AWOL a bit so I need some time to pick this. We did not have a set player to pick, I need to dig a bit

He wasn't part of the plans. I don't want to lay into the boy, especially here when he's been picked by my good mucker Cutch. But since you've asked, post-92 Walker isn't the same beast who dominated the best in the world a couple of years earlier. After that serious injury, he lost his edge at the top level. I'd have been all over prime Walker in fairness.

Good point. I certainly thought Ballack was at his very best pre-Chelsea as a box-to-box dynamo, but it's clear he sacrificed himself a little to the wider cause and in getting the best out of Frank there.
