I'm pretty sure that nobility particles shouldn't count as a part of a surname unless they're written in uppercase... so I've tried to pick a team based on the first letter of the actual surname as I think that de/von etc. make this task a bit easier

Didier Drogba
Dragan Džajić - Zinedine Zidane - Jimmy Johnstone
Didier Deschamps - Paul Pogba
Horst-Dieter Höttges - Velibor Vasović - Billy Wright* - Cafu**
Gyula Grosics

Subs: Kevin Keegan, Andrey Arshavin, Safet Sušić, Claudio Caniggia, Amancio Amaro, Alessandro Altobelli​

* William Ambrose Wright
** Marcos Evangelista de Morais

I could've used David De Gea since his is in the uppercase but wanted to stay clear of them altogether (says the guy who've picked Marcos de Morais...). Looks like Rob Rensenbrink doesn't fit the criteria since technically he's Pieter Robert Rensenbrink, same for Johan Gunnar Gren.

Fair!

edit: just realized that Billy Bremner isn't really eligible as he's, well, a William, should've realized it sooner considering that I've picked Billy Wright. So I've replaced him with Pogba.
