I went:
Casillas
Maicon-Vidic-Ferdinand-Evra

---

Senna

---

Ronaldo

---

Robben

---

Fabregas

---

---

Messi--Torres

---

(and Fergie as coach)


Tough choice between Senna and Xavi, but I'm a big fan of Senna's and think he deserves more recognition than he gets.

Didn't know you could vote for Senna..

leninbenjamin

some strange nominations there.

---

Casillas

---

Sagna---Vidiv

---

Rio

---

Evra

---

Senna

---

Ronaldo

---

Schnjieder

---

Cesc

---

---

Messi

---

---

Rooney

---

I know i've gone against popular opinion here a little in including Rooney,

the only other one I wasn't sure about was Schnjeider, saw very little of him tbh, but anytime i had i'd been more impressed than with the other options so hey....

would have rathered a midfield of Senna and Xavi but it wouldn't let me so meh. Cesc is just a more youthful and more complete Xavi anyway

Galvasean

I went with

---

--Casilas

Sagna----Puyol---Vidic---Evra

Ronaldo--Xavi--Fabregas--Iniesta

---

Messi---Del Piero


Kind of weird how you can't have Gerrard and Ronaldo in the same team. Must be UEFA's bias against the Premiership

How can anyone in their right mind have Ibrahimavic before Torres?

I couldn't decide between Xavi and Fabregas. I went for Fab because he was amazing for Arsenal last year and, per minute, was the best player at the Euros in my opinion.

things too slow but for me the following players cannot be left out or frankly you are just blind/don't watch football.

Casillas
Evra
Rio
Ronaldo
Xavi
Torres

Fabregas started the season off amazing but waned towards the end, and then excelled at the Euros, while Ballack started quietly (mainly through not playin because he was injured) and then almost single handedly got Chelsea from nowhere to a near miss. Hard call.

He waned at the start of the new year after he was injured he seemed to lose confidence, he was brilliant towards the end thou.

The highest assist tally from a central midfielder in the history of the prem league, gets him in the team for me anyways.

Interesting and surprising statistic. If only they played Kuyt as a CMF though, he'd surely break that record. :pac:

i agree, except with Xavi. He's a wonderful player, but there are loads of great CM's. I wanted one defensive midfielder, so had Senna and Mascherano in mind and i wanted one more attacking and imo fabregas is a better player, and had an amazing season last year, and as i stated previously, i think at Euro 2008 he was one of, if not the most impressive player, despite limited opportunities.

eZe^

Fabregas may be ok defensively, but he's wasted as a DMF, Senna on the other hand is an excellent ball playing DMF, and was better than Fabregas imo at the Euro's.

Surprised to see Casillas in many peoples teams. His form over this season has been very poor and the man has even said himself that he is now going through the worst period of his career.

He done good in the tournament but the team is for the whole of 2008. Example being this season he has conceded 24 league goals in in just 14 games so far compared to last season were he conceded just 36 in 38 games. As I said the man himself says he is in the worst period of his career and has been at fault for some goals in recent games. I aint saying he is not good because he is. I went for Cech because I thought he was more reliable over the year as a whole. In fact I cannot recall Cech ever going through a bad spell in his Chelsea career. The odd mistake here and there like all keepers but never a bad patch. He is Mr Reliable I think.

titan18

I went with Adler.I watch a lot of German football and the guy is amazing.I rate him as the best keeper in the world.

Bobalicious93

Stanner was a great man for that.

Pepe LeFrits

Both Fabregas and Senna were better at the Euros than Xavi... not that the Euros are the only basis for this.

I liked being forced to choose between Gerrard and Ronaldo. That was good.
