    i've checked the lists 3 times; if he's not been picked i'm shocked.

    and i'm sorry if he has...

    Alan Hutton

    recognised by many as one of the best RBs in the league last year, and only left WHL because of 'Arry hard-on for English players, as well as Kyle Walker being a younger option.

    he got a move to Aston Villa, has been part of a solid defensive unit, and still has the ability to bomb forward.

    delighted if he's been left for me.

    Van der Sar

    Maicon Shawcross Hangeland Santos

    Wallcott Benayoun Petrov Malouda

    Maxi Rodriquez
    Didier Drogba

    Yossi Benayoun rounds out a team that is solid and tough at the back and that has the ability to score goals from any part of the pitch.

    My final pick is a man who will compliment Larsson by taking dead balls on the opposite side.

    Nicky Shorey

    Shorey has plenty of Premier League experience and was very good when he with the promoted Reading side a few years back. Still solid at the highest level.

    Schwarzer

    O'Shea
    Jones
    Kompany
    Shorey

    Vieira

    Cahill
    Holden

    Larsson
    Ozil

    Berbatov

    My 11th and final pick is Laurent Koscielny

    He might not be without his detractors, but I think he's terrific value at this stage. More importantly, I think he'll work well with Vidic; his mobility will compliment the Serb's physicality beautifully

    Final team:

    Schmeichel

    Fabio
    Vidic
    Koscielny
    Assou-Ekotto

    Sandro
    Huddlestone

    Ramires

    Nasri
    Welbeck

    Higuain

    Seeing as injuries are seemingly not taken into account, I'm picking a player who, on form is one of the best left backs in the league. A solid defender with great technique and excellent delivery from both out wide and from set pieces, Liverpool crock Fabio Aurelio.

    fairly sure he is still available so.... Blackburn's very underated Martin Olsson

    Right, no sign of NoelJ for a week, and with all the guys online we might as well get this finished. My final pick, the 15th pick of the 11th round is Jonas Guttierez of Newcastle and Argentina.

    I think this guy is fantastic value for the 11th round, I was going to pick him in the 10th round but pulled out because I realised most have their wingers sorted. It's a risk that has came off.

    He's a current Argentinean International, he stuck with Newcastle after they got relegated and scored a magical goal on Saturday. Delighted with him.

    To complete my team I choose Michel Vorm of Swansea and Netherlands. A great shot stopper and any keeper with the nickname 'The penalty killer must have something about him. Has impressed greatly in his first few games for Swansea and is a dependable last line of defense. Can see him moving to a bigger Premier League team in the next couple of years and having a great career from here.

    To round off my team I pick Michele Salgado. He has had a career at the very top and there is no denying his quality. Picking him now adds some experience to my team.

    To round off my team I chose my right back who is: Vedran Corluka

    article-0-027BC77E00000578-426_468x392.jpg

    Very happy to get him at this stage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,305 ✭✭✭DOC09UNAM


    Think he was taken already?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭G.K.


    Corluka is free.

    My final pick

    Neil Taylor

    441px-Neil_Taylor_vs_Arsenal_%28cropped%29.jpg


    He was bottom of my shortlist but that's no bad thing necessarily. Taylor has made the step up from Conference to PL in 2 seasons and is now established as his country's first choice LB. Good on the ball, young and intelligent, Taylor rounds off my team with great balance, complimenting my defence well.

    Final man is ben arfa, fairly sure he's not gone yet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 616 ✭✭✭NoelJ
