Select your best XI but there is a catch.........

AnfieldEd

I am Leg End
I believe I started a thread a couple of years ago with the same idea, however I won't even bother trying to find it and I also want to do an updated version.

Basically the premise is to select your best football XI HOWEVER each of the players selected must be from a different league.

You can select players from whatever league you want to but you cannot select two players from the same league.

My team is as follows:-

-------------------------------Muslera--------------------------------

Srna------------------Dede--------------Chiellini------------Lahm-----------


------------Moutinho-----------Clasie----------------Verratti------------------------


-------------Messi------------Del Piero--------------Suarez-------------------------

Muslera - Galatasary
Srna - Shakhtar
Dede - Vasco
Chiellini - Juventus
Lahm - Bayern
Moutinho - FC Porto
Clasie - Feyernoord
Verratti - PSG
Messi - Barcelona
Del Piero - Sydney
Suarez - Liverpool



SO what would be your selections and which leagues would you pick your players from?

Will have a look at it later (now going to bed), but nice idea! But at least 1 thing is sure, no way Clasie is going to be in my starting lineup :p

No MLS players? Also, Dede over NeyGOAT?

-------------------------------------------De Gea (EPL)-----------------------------------------------
-----------------Lahm (Bundesliga)------Chiellini (Serie A)---------Aurélien Collin (MLS)------------------
-------Moutinho (Portugese)----Wanyama(Scottish)---Strootman(Dutch)-----Veratti (Ligue 1)------------
----------------Neymar (Brazilian)-------Messi (La Liga)-------Willain (Ukrainian League)-----------------

Srna (Ukraine)--Cheillini (Italy)--Vidic (England)--Alex Sandro (Portugal)
Veratti (France)--Sneijder (Turkey)--Strootman (Holland)
Messi (Spain)--Lewandoski (Germany)--Neymar (Brazil)

Bale who this season has been playing as a free range attacking midfielder is being played in your team as a left back a position he played at youth levels only?
Messi on the right?

Nice team. I was going to put almost the same, with only few changes: Strootman for Sneijder and Hummels for Marquez. and maybe Kompany for Baines and moving Chiellini to the left, but not necessary. :)

Having some problems with who to pick from the Serie A and Bundesliga... No real standout performers.

I completely forgot about Bundesliga! :lol: It took me ages to think through the smaller leagues. I'll probably put Hummels in for Marquez as well then...

Suarez --- Eto'o --- Messi

Moutinho -- Pirlo
Strootman

Lahm - Lopez* - T. Silva - Srna
Forster**​

Honorable mentions:
Yilmaz (Turkey), Neymar (Brazil)

Very close to making it, from big leagues: Ribery, Vidal, Schweinsteiger, Müller, Reus, Buffon, and Jackson Martínez would've had a chance if it weren't for the competition up front


* Lopez from Arsenal de Sarandi in Argentina
** From Celtic, Scotland

Impressive team, although would perhaps work better as a 4-2-3-1
