one player from every team

[neko]

here's my idea for a thread (hope it is well received).

 

compile a team using any formation you wish, with only one player from every team (11 + 8 subs + 1 exemption).

 

i'll try rafa's favorite 4-2-3-1 with my exemption of west brom (just can't find a spot)

 

g - gordon (sunderland)

 

d - richards (man city)

d - distin (portsmouth)

d - samba (blackburn)

d - evra (man u) .....big decision over ronaldo

 

m - essien (chelsea)

m - barry (villa)..... i got him for rafa

 

m - bentley (tottenham)

m - fabregas (arsenal)

m - downing (middlesborough)

 

f - torres

 

subs -

 

g - sorenson (stoke)

d - gartner (hull)

d - taylor (newcastle)

d - lescott (everton)

m - nolan (bolton)

m - gera (fulham)

f - heskey (wigan)

f - bellamy (west ham)

 

i think this team has size, strength and steel with the back seven, a quick, creative forward midfield and, of course, the best striker in the world.... with some 'possibilities' on the bench.

[neko]

the eight subs and one exemption was to allow anyone the option of not selecting from a team they are morally opposed to.

Is Bentley at Tottenham now?

Good thread.

[neko]

it's a fluid concept.......you can make some assumptions if you wish.

 

if it doesn't work out, you get sacked (in my case, barry)

[neko]

i think i was morally opposed to taking ronaldo, for example (too easy)

 

my team would have been a lot stronger with ronaldo over evra, and lescott at left back.

Stelios has been released from Bolton. Youre sacked Andy.

When did that happen? 2 minutes ago or something? Besides, I don't know what you are talking about.

[neko]

simple clerical errors don't result in sackings.

 

only erroneously anticipated transfer dealings.
