No two players who have represented the same club or country and they must have played in your lifetime... 

I seen this going around.

So if you pick Messi you can’t pick Maradona or anybody who has played for Barcelona....

It’s not easy.

FFS. That’s tricky. Have to rethink my GK because it f**ks up my defenders.

Schmeichel a no brainer

I actually commented on this earlier in the lockdown on another thread. I’ve ended up watching a lot of Man U highlights from the 1990s and I’m more convinced than ever that Schmeichel was actually quite overrated. The 1993/1994 season was achieved in spite of numerous errors and most defeats that season could be attributable to him spilling the ball or handling poorly. Positionally, he could be suspect and he was lobbed on more than one occasion.

Saw this on Carragher's twitter a few days back and tried it, it's very easy to get caught out. I ended up with:

Oblak

Lahm
Van Dijk
Nesta
Irwin

Juninho
Makelele
Iniesta

Blanco

Batistuta
Cavani

That’s a strong line up - it would be hard to improve it.

I was doing this last week. It took me ages and I thought I had done well until I was reminded that Beckenbauer and Pele both played for Cosmos. I nearly had a fit.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
