It's quite a shame that gaza (in my opinion the most talented English player of the modern game), spent his best years outside the prem. He would have been one of first picks for me had he been in the prem for his best years

Alright, well i've neglected my defensive responsibilities for the most part so far, so to rectify the issue i'll take a keeper widely regarded as one of the greatest in the history of the sport, and the closest you can get to John Terry without getting the man himself.

 

Jonty: Henry, Cantona, Makelele, Rooney, Ballack, Schmeichel, Adams

footballoholic: Ronaldo, Hazard, Essien, Fabregas, Mascherano, Evra
Northern Monkey: Van Der Sar, Zola, Wise, J.F.Hasselbaink, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta
dan_cfc: Lampard, Vieira, Bergkamp, Bale, D. Costa, David Silva

ForeverCarefree: Terry, Shearer, Aguero, Carrick, Gerrard, Carvalho 
Chelsea190512: Scholes, Ash. Cole, Vidic, Xabi Alonso, Toure, Tevez

So close. Damn it!

Whenever anyone else posts a player, I go damn!! :)

I'll get Emmanuel Petit, perfect mix of skill and combativeness to partner Keane in midfield, and my first Chelsea (albeit Arsenal too) player!

Shocking lack of Dan Petrescu so far

You could have rectified that problem by joining!

Who needs Tony Adams when you can have Marcel Desailly.

Drat drat drat.....

I'll trade you for Zola ;)

Well, I had him ready, but agsin pipped at the post.

Chelsea again for me.

He's here, he's the he's every ****ing where, he's Frank Leboeuf, he's Frank Leboeuf.

I'm starting to think I should have picked more modern players come the actual games themselves; as it stands I'm the only one still without a current player!

 

Oh I forgot to mention we'll be picking three subs in addition to your starting eleven, so 14 picks in total.

Three double 'l' defenders in a row! So far so good for me this round, none of my hopeful picks have gone as of yet (although I did consider Gallas for his versatility).

I will have Vincent Kompany. Been off form past season or two but on his day really is a formidable defender.

Second pick will be Robbie Fowler. Goals record speaks for itself.

It's getting a bit silly that he hasn't been picked yet. I may just get him and put him on my bench if he's still around by my turn.

That was what I was thinking.

 

Full backs and goalkeepers generally seem to go at the end.

Who are you talking about, Mikel?
