Anyone fancy coming up with a XI and maybe even an 18 man squad that could give it a go in the premier league next season.

Kolo Toure, Victor Valdes and Emmanuel Adebayor are among the high-profile names to have been released by their Premier League clubs.

Toure, 35, leaves Liverpool after three years, playing his final game in last month's Europa League final defeat.

Goalkeeper Valdes, 34, will be released by Manchester United having played twice in the past 18 months, along with 22-year-old midfielder Nick Powell.

Adebayor, 32, leaves Crystal Palace having signed for the club in January.

Manchester City will let 35-year-old defender Martin Demichelis go after three seasons at the Etihad Stadium, while midfielders Mikel Arteta, 34, Mathieu Flamini, 32, and Tomas Rosicky, 35, will not return to Arsenal next season.

Everton's released list includes two players who have spent more than 15 years at Goodison Park, 35-year-olds Tony Hibbert and Leon Osman, while Steven Pienaar, 34, brings to an end a second spell with the Toffees.

Goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, 43, leaves Premier League champions Leicester City, and Stoke City have released 34-year-old striker Peter Odemwingie.

Elsewhere, strikers Steven Fletcher, 29, and Danny Graham, 30, leave Sunderland, along with 36-year-old former England defender Wes Brown.

Clubs have also informed the Premier League of those players who will remain, with Chelsea set to retain 82 players for next season.

I think my team may have pace issues

My XI would be :
Victor Valdes
Kolo Toure
Demichelis
Wes Brown
Hangeland
Arteta
Flamini
Rosicky
Charles N'somnia
Chamakh
Steven Fletcher

Subs:
Pienaar
Leon Osman
Sessegnon
Odemwingie
Adebayour

Bad year for free agents, I'd wager none of them will play in the Premier League next year!!!

I'd say the team I picked above would have commanded a fairly high wage bill between then

Villa have also let the great Kieran Richardson go. Only his second time to be let go by a relegated team

pienaar and sessegnon are both decent enough for low prem teams next year

I could see Burnley picking up at least one or two of those players.

Maybe Pienaar or Osman to replace Barton.

Bounty Hunter

Nzogbia does not deserve to be in any best 11 even if released players. The lad was a non entity (more of a drain on the club tbh) with the Worst Villa side ever.
