Old Man XI

Fenian Army

Whats the best team of currently playing over 34s you can put together?


Here's mine:

Raul -Totti

Lampard

Scholes --- Seedorf

Van Bommel

Lee Young-Pyo ---Alessandro Nesta -- Van Buyten --Javier Zanetti


Brad Friedal

I struggled at full back

Seaneh

Zambrotta for Lee Young-pyo.

Given for Friedal, drop lampard, move seedorf to amc and add Gattuso.

Eathrin

Buffon for Friedel.

kitakyushu

I'd have probably put DiNatalie and Buffon in that team

Fenian Army

Ah I meant to say that seen as keepers more commonly play well into their late thirties the keeper should be over 40, 34 isn't old for a keeper.

kakee

Shay Given instead of Friedel

Giggsy11

Lampard is 33, and I would have Buffon in my team every day of the week and also Samuel ahead of Buyten

kakee

Totti for Lampard and stick Drogba up front

Dennis Rommedahl has serious pace for his age but isn't 34 until July 22nd, when is our first game?

No place for Puyol?

Mr.Crinklewood

Roy Carroll for Friedal.

I don't think giggs is that great anymore tbh. Midfielders I have are better I think

Rekop dog

Di Natale easily gets in this side.

I would have Nesta an Puyol as my pairing. Puyol has been a rock throughout his career, on the other hand, the likes of Lucio and Samuel only really got going towards the end of their careers. Carvalho would be a tough one to leave out though....

Juninho is around 36 now would have him in there for his mad free-kicks. Riquelme must be close to 34 now aswell.
