I think i might go for something like this, but with Vidic in place of Pique

i was thinking about this alot over the past week but my team is premiership only, not world football

Given

---

Johnson--Vidic

---

Terry

---

A.Cole

---

Essien

---

---

Gerrard

---

Fabregas

---

---

Rooney

---

---

Torres

---

Drogba

---

Given - Well it was either Reina or Given for me, but i feel Given is slightly better
A.Cole - Again either Evra or Cole, but i feel A.Cole has improved alot and is the better player at the moment

Other than that i think my teams picks itself, with a diamond midfield formation and two wingbacks

Team Essien would win that battle. Essien would boss the midfield and Essien at the back would do a top job defending. Sure Essien up top is kinda weak but it's Essien so should be ok.

Team Essien >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Team Rooney

Shay Given, lol

Any team without Gigi Buffon is null and void.

Team Rooney would have a world class goalkeeper, which might also be the one weakness in the team, if he goes walkabout.

Team Rooney would be strong in all positions, tackling, passing, shooting, positioning, everything.

Team Rooney >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>+6> Team Essien.

Can we just not say Barcelona ?

"If you could clone 1 player 11 times" , well there's a great thread right there, I do think Rooney and Essien would be very near the top, obv I pick Essien.

Reckon Ibrahimovic would be better than both of them in an XI.

Mr Maroon

Buffon

Maicon - Pique* - Chiellini - A.Cole

Xavi - Essien - Iniesta

Messi - Ibrahimovic - C.Ronaldo

*Could easily have been Vidic but I think Pique would be a better partner for Chiellini.

Given

Maicon - Terry - Chiellini - Grosso

C.Ronaldo - Xavi - Fabregas - Messi

Drogba - Ibrahimovic

I think Drogba and Ibrahimovic are both better than Torres by a long way. A lot more to them than just scoring goals which they both have equal or better ability than Torres to do and I am a big fan of Torres

Helix

the thing about torres is that if he gets 2 half chances in a match he'll generally score at least one of them

Buffon is playing the best he has in I don't know how long and you say he'd be unstoppable at his peak and you don't include him in your current first eleven:rolleyes:

there is more to torres than scoring goals and you being a big fan :rolleyes: of the guy should know, remember that flick to set up gerrards goals against everton last season, that was out of this world

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5orv084rR9E

remember his cross for keanes first goal in the champions league, his lovely weighted chip for gerrard to score at bolton

torres goal record in the premier league in england is far better than drogbas, then again its better than ian rush's too, the stunning thing is that every one of torres goals for liverpool have been from open play

48 goals in 67 games league games or a goal every 1.4 league games

drogba has 64 goals in 146 league games, a goal every 2.3 games
