Best Team ever

[bosterosoy]

ok guys, this is an all-time BEST soccer team, not your preferred team etc etc

I'm doing this for a statistics class.

So,
-->Starting Lineup must be a 4-4-2 formation.

-->You can pick a reserve for each position (1 gk, 1 defender, 1 midfielder, 1 attacker)

-->Players must play in their natural positions, though there can be some judgement calls (i.e. some players could be considered attackers others attacking mids etc)

-->State your nationality

-->Pick an age group:
1) 0-19
2) 20-29
3) 30-45
4) 46-60
5) 60+

You can edit your posts if you remember a player later on, but if you do edit, make sure to make a post in Bold so that I'll notice the part you edited http://xperteleven.com/images/icon10.gif

Any particular variant of 4-4-2 and are we allowed to pass comment on other teams?

[bosterosoy]

ya it can be like a 4-3-1-2 or whatever, but just like not having say a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 or something.

I've decided I should only include players that I've seen myself. I figured it's more meaningful that way - otherwise we're just making historical judgments based on the subjective opinions of others.

I hope that's not too much of a departure from the rules and such.

I also tried to get the best team - not just the best 11 individual players. Here goes...


G: P. Schmeichel
D: Cafu
D: F. Baresi
D: Marcel Desailly
D: Paulo Maldini
M: Roy Keane
M: P. Vieira
M: Zidane
M: Maradona
F: Van Basten
F: T. Henry

Subs:
G: Buffon
D: J. Carragher
M: Ruud Gullit
F: Ronaldo

Nationality: U.S.A.
Age Group: 3

L-Mid: Cruyff
R-mid: Maradona
CF: Pelé
CF: Romário

Reserves:
G: Peter Schmeichel.
CB: Luís pereira.
Mid: Zico.
Forward: Garrincha.

greetings.

edit: changed to what the thread poster want.

[Teso Dos Bichos]

You had better switch to a variant of 4-4-2 as that is what the thread poster specifically specified for this exercise. ;)
