It's gung-ho - no doubt. But who wants to play it safe? Keep 'em at the edge of their seats, as Fergie said.

Ideally, you might want to swap Essien for Cole, to add some defensive solidity there, but who to field in that DM role? Could also have gone for a more defensive LB from an outsider club - but who? I can think of candidates, but not with the pomp condition intact.

@diarm Very nice - but mine is restricted to just one player per team. Given the restrictions of this draft, though, that's an excellent selection - could easily win the thing with those lads.

Yeah I deleted it. Sorry I didn't read your post properly and thought you had just put up a best draft selection.

OK, this one follows those rules:

Only contentious pick is Macherano and Ronaldo being in their pomp but they were bloody good, even then.
 
Just realised I missed out Chelsea. Swap John Terry for Radebe or Ashley Cole for Le Saux.

Hmmm - yeah, not bad.

I'd go Cole over Le Saux, though - that one seems obvious. Or you could go my route: Essien + Baines. Le Saux was a good player, no doubt, but not quite there. Baines isn't worse - and Essien (clear pomp) > Mascherano (pre pomp).
 
Mascherano can only be judged as a Liverpool player. He only had half a season with West Ham where Pardew barely played him. For Liverpool, though, he was exactly what their current team misses.

Yep, true. He's ineligible, actually - formally too, as per the rules.
 
Now, to compose an all time shite-a-rama XI where the conditions are:

* One player per team
* Players must have featured for at least two eligible teams
* Players must be assigned to the worst possible alternative among the clubs they've been at
* Players should ideally not be played in their best position

Jeffers (Ars) Jo (Evert) Brolin (Leeds)
Alan Smith (Newc) Djemba-Djemba(AV) Ali Dia (Southampton)
Konchesky (Liverpool) Luzhny (Wolves) Davis (Derby) Charvet (City)
Taylor (Reading)

Think all of them qualify under the conditions. Had to put Taylor there simply for lack of any sort of playing ambition.

I wanted to include Cole/Yorke/Keane/Vieira, so turned noticeably hard to do the rest. :wenger:

That's a really well-crafted team, although I'd suggest Sol Campbell ahead of King as the Spurs centre-back :angel:.

The one player per club rather than two players makes this hugely tricky, as no all-time PL XI really looks right without one of Keane/Vieira, one of Giggs/Pires and at least one of Ronaldo/Henry.

Yes, I swap King with Campbell soon after

Annah's team also looks very nice. Totally forgotten about Rio at Leeds, even though he reached his prime at Utd
 
Rio at Leeds is a bit of a wild card, I'd say. Too unpredictable - to the point where you could actually upgrade him with Radebe (if we're sticking with Leeds for that spot).

:lol: Good effort, although Ali Dia only played for one PL club I think. Surely he should be allowed in anyway? feck, it should probably be mandatory to name him captain.

Ade Akinbiyi is probably worth a mention. 11 goals in 77 PL matches across 5 seasons, and 9 of those were in one season.

Well, yeah, he was the better half of that pair and remains to this day the only Englishmaan to get the European Golden Shoe. He was nowhere near as prolific in the rest of his career though.

well, if he was he wouldnt be a ten round pick would he? Overall he had a pretty good career and would have goal every two games if he didnt play until he was 40....

He's in - feck the rules.

My only gripe with Donaldo's team is that it lacks a bit of star quality. Torres should probably feature, for instance.

EDIT And Alan Smith for United - as a DM.
