Build the best possible starting 11. Two restrictions:
- 1 player per country
- 1 player per team
For instance, can't select Maldini and Buffon cause they are both from Italy. Can't select Maradona and Xavi cause they've both played for Barcelona. Rules are pretty straightforward, but it's harder than it looks. I'll go first.
Discuss Build best possible lineup in the TalkCeltic Pub area at TalkCeltic.net.

This is * solid btw, had to take out two players here hahaLast edited: Sep 6, 2024 -
It's more difficult than it seems, especially if trying to include only world class players. Senna was pretty good at his peak, but nowhere near all-time great DMs like Matthäus, Rijkaard, Vieira, Keane or even Rodri from today's game.Last edited: Sep 6, 2024 -

The ones you’ve said there all had other guys that meant I couldn’t use them - Keane and Ronaldo, Vieira with Cole (and annoyingly I’d set myself up for Totti before Cole * it with Roma, but it allowed Maldini)
When I remembered Diego Forlan played for United I was seething as well :56:jvalin likes this. -
Want to give this a bash. Will do it at work tomorrow.

I’d have went for Zico, I needed to google that one.
I love this question but it’s * hard. -

I was * raging not being able to just stick Prosenecki in but he played for Real and Barca :56: -
Haaland is a good shout at CF. Practically rules out only Man City, but I couldn't select Rodri anymore.Last edited: Sep 7, 2024 -

AC Milan and Chelsea and the players they’ve had kept throwing me off though. Fair play for this subject mate, because kt’s a * to actually answer:56: -

I know it won't be popular on a Celtic site but Gerrard is a good pick for this as he was only at Liverpool and LA Galaxy. -
