Went for Smithies for my keeper as he's a penalty saver extraordinaire(19 saved) and he sounds a bit like one of the Backstreet Kids.
 
Nicol and Gemmell as my full-backs that will important to create some width in this team. Nicol was versatile, scored goals and is underrated outside of Liverpool. Gemmell is a Lisbon Lion and like Phil Neal has scored in two European Cup finals. How the Hell these two didn't get more caps for Scotland is insane although I'm sure there's a story behind that.
 
Koeman and Cannavaro are my centre-backs. Koeman was mostly a sweeper but I think he will be fine in a two with the World Cup winning captain, Cannavaro. Koeman is the highest scoring defender of all time.
 
Essien, Molby and Coutinho in my midfield. Essien with a bit of steel, energy(He can do most of Jan's running if needed!), Molby with the perfect range and quaity of passes and Coutinho with those moments of magic he can produce.
 
My team is finished off with a front three or Maradona, Fowler, and Blokhin.
 
I don't really need to say much about Maradona or Robbie, we all know how good they were. Blokhin scored a shed-load of goals for Dynamo Kiev and the Soviet Union. He also won the 1975 Ballon d'Or.

Was just looking at my list and I've got a team of scraps that I think is pretty damn good.  Not quite got the top level names of Dalglish, Di Stefano, Maldini or Seedorf, but still...

 

So many class teams and players in this draft and the categories were a great shout as kept it interesting. Was desperate to nab Molby to fuck someone's Denmark/Sweden selection.

Same here. Not quite scraps, but regretting not picking a legend first go - apart from Eder who is boss. Went for a solidly class all round team instead, and apart from Buffon, got the best keeper by miles.

Happy with that.

 

Buffon, One of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.

Heggem and Boyd, the weakest part of the team but both decent fullbacks.

Hyypia and De Boer, both excellent, classy centrebacks who were solid defensively and good on the ball.

Gerrard and Diame, Don't need to say much about Gerrard! Diame will hold the midfield.

Mane and Juninho Pernambucano, Mane will provide the pace, Juninho is a set piece specialist,has scored 75 goals from free kicks!

Weah and Shearer,  Weah's pace, skill and work rate would compliment the finishing of Shearer.

Boss team that, Tommy Gemmell rep. I'd swap Essien and Molby around or maybe sit Coutinho in-front of them both but thats very very good. Fuck sake. Shit keeper though

I'll take Puskas as my last pick, if someone could add, cheers, will sort formation later

 

I thought it was him and Di Stefano you were referring to before, was going to come back and say if you take one I'll just take the other...  Two of the greatest players to ever grace the game taken in the last round there.

 

Puskas arguably the greatest goalscorer in the whole draft.

Boyd was a centre half !!!!

There's loads of other ones too, fucking hell, you could make an absolutely fantastic team from the leftovers in that category alone

Ruddy - Bang avg

 

Clyne - Decent nothing more

 

Bergomi - Campbell

Both superb defenders. Bergomi played as a RB when younger before moving in as a CB or Sweeper as he got older.

I take Campbell over any England defender of his era. Pace and power

 

 

Some might not know Nilton Santos but he was a pioneering fullback. The first too really get forward and attack. Member of the 1954 World Cup Squad and a winner in 58 and 62

16 years and over 700 games with his one club Botafogo and 75 caps for Brazil

 

 

 

Lerby - Quality allround midfielder. Hreat left foot and would work his bollocks off.

 

Souness - Everyone knows

 

Cruyff - Greatest ever Dutch player

 

Zico - 52 goalsin 71 games as a number 10. Sensational player

 

Jimmy Johnstone - Ask Stig

Celtics fans voted him their greatest ever player in 2012

 

Sammy Eto'o

Well its him or Weah as the greatest African striker of all time

 

Mallorca

Games/Goals

165/70

 

Barca

Games/Goals

199 130

 

Inter

Games/Goals

102/53

 

Anzi

Games/Goals

73/36

 

Chelsea

Games/Goals

35/12
