Challenging best 11 question

[Alonso]

Takes a lot of thinking, harder than you think and gets very frustrating!! Have a go at this...

Select your best 11 adhering to the following rules. 

Rules are: 

- must have played in your lifetime
- only 1 player per international team 
- only 1 player per club side

[Stevie H]

Isn't that quite hard because lots of players have played for lots of different clubs? Like can I have Robert Prosinecki because he played for Portsmouth but I can't then have any other player who had played for Barcelona or Real Madrid? 

[Alonso]

Yeah and that’s the challenge!! It’s doable though and we’ve all got a bit of time on our hands!! 

[Ombudsam]

This is the sort of thing I can imagine Cobs and Earl Hafler getting deeply involved with but I think I’m going to exit the thread here.

[antona]

Dasaev  -- Léo Júnior, Belodedici, Hansen, Lahm -- Keane, Nedved, Boban -- Messi, Francescoli, Hazard

Thats my team, quite a strong one I think.

And Ayala played in the late 90-s alongside Maldini in AC Milan. Btw, I ve messed up also, Francescoli and Junior both played for Torino, in different seasons of course but still it all counts. I wanted to include Enzo so much. He is a legend especially in South America and also he is Messi's friend despite age difference, they d like to play together. But rules are rules, Mbappe instead of Enzo)

[Alonso]

Oblak 
Lahm terry kompany Robertson 
De Rossi rijkaard Zico 
Messi mbappe cristiano

[antona]

Great team but I don't think it is Zico's natural position) From the 82 and 86 Brazil team you can put Junior on the left side. He was phemomenal

Dammit. I could swap Bergkamp for Van Basten, but then i'll need to find a replacement for Maldini. Italy has great defenders, but if you cant pick from AC MiIan, Inter Milan, Juve or Napoli then the options are zilch....

Tough game
