Jammy bastard if you’ve seen all them at a ground. Cafes the one gives the massive edge there I'll be honest I never saw Cafu play live in the flesh, but I did see him in 98 at the Stadio Olimpico when I was on a visit. H That’s another Sheamus Coleman at right back then 😂

My absolutes were Ronaldo, Suarez, Aguero and Ashley Cole I wanted KdB, Hazard & Kompany & ended up with no Belgians

Asmir Begovic 🇧🇦 Bournemouth
Dani Alves 🇧🇷 Barcelona Fabricio Coloccini 🇦🇷 Newcastle Sergio Ramos 🇪🇸 Real Madrid Ashley Cole 🏴 Chelsea
N’Golo Kante 🇫🇷 Leicester Cesc Fabregas 🇪🇸 Arsenal Kevin De Bruyne 🇧🇪 Man City
Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 Man United Luis Suarez 🇺🇾 Liverpool Gareth Bale 🏴 Tottenham
Either seen these players at Stoke, Wembley or when going to a game with friends who support other clubs. Tried to get as many nations in too, somewhat glad I never seen that great Barcelona side of 10 years ago as it would dominate this

Ok, these are on the basis of how well they played when I saw them, for instance I think P. Schmichael was an improvement on Southall, but I saw some stunning stuff from Southall when I used to go to Goodison in the '80s.
Much trickier than I realised, but happy with this result, Kolorov at RB isn't too much of a stretch, I think.
1. Southall (EVE) - Wales 2. Kolorov (MNC) - Serbia 3. Pearce (FOR) - England 4. Ardiles (TOT) - Argentina 5. McGrath (MUN) - Ireland 6. Taggart (LEI) – Northern Ireland 7. Dalglish (LIV) - Scotland 8. Muhren (IPS) - Netherlands 9. Henry (ARS) - France 10. Fuller (STO) - Jamaica 11. Van Der Elst (WHU) – Belgium (Scored a belter in front of the Boothen, the only time I saw him)

Decided up the ante to stoke players but only from one country but you must again have watched them on the pitch home or away and again no random loaners or end of career few games
Gk Sorensen 🇩🇰 Cb Huth 🇩🇪 Cb Shtaniuk 🇧🇾 Cb Shawcross 🏴 Lm Hoekstra 🇳🇱 Rm Shaqiri 🇨🇭 Cm Nzonzi 🇫🇷 Cdm Berry 🏴 Cam Arnautovic 🇦🇹 St Stein 🇿🇦 St Fuller 🇯🇲
I reckon that team and formation would have kept us up lol

A tad mean spirited, the amount of people without maradonna in their team .
No one can find him a place ?
Admittedly he deliberately handballed a goal v England and is not Peter shilton's favourite player
But Thierry Henry , deliberately handballed a goal v Ireland , and is not Glenn whelan's favourite player .Yet Thierry Henry is in a fair few teams .
Maradonna went to Italy as one of the fastest , trickiest players on the planet . For his first handful of games in serie A , he was brutally sycthed down and kicked senseless by ultra cynical Italian defenders , and scored exactly zero goals .
Before going back to the training ground and running track , to up his technique , his speed and his stamina , to the point where he was literally unplayable .
That's a huge achievement , that deserves respect.
He would definitely be in my best 11

It's too hard. I keep coming back to teams/countries I've already used, and as you can see, I can't decide between Ronaldo and Scholes for Man Utd. GK Cech Arsenal CZE RB LB CB CB RM Ronaldo Man Utd POR LM Bale Spurs WAL CM Gullit Chelsea NED CM Scholes Man Utd ENG ST Aguero Man City ARG ST Suarez Liverpool URU Aargh, why did this thread have to bump? Let's try again... GK Schwarzer Fulham AUS RB Robertson Hull SCO LB Bale Spurs WAL CB Faye Stoke SEN CB RM Ronaldo Man Utd PORLM Sanchez Arsenal CHL CM Gullit Chelsea NED CM Scholes Man Utd ENG ST Aguero Man City ARG ST Suarez Liverpool URU Putting Jääskeläinen in goal would leave a CB spot for Hangeland... Anyway, I give up.

I noticed you didn't rule out testimonials or charity matches, which may or may not make things easier. I'd probably replace Scholes with Le Tissier.
