All-time Premier League XI

[Deutsch Wolf]

Time for an update on an old favourite thread.

Also going to re-run the All Time Wolves XI ballot thread this summer if the interest is there. But for this one, just pick your team and subs. Any formation you like, so long as you don't cheat and put players where they never actually played...

--------------------------------Peter Schmeichel-----------------------------

Gary Neville-----------Vincent Kompany---------Rio Ferdinand-----------Ashley Cole

----------------Kevin de Bruyne----Roy Keane------Paul Scholes--------------

----------------Eden Hazard-----Alan Shearer-----Thierry Henry-------------------

Subs: Ederson, Jaap Stam, Cesar Azpilicueta, Patrick Vieira, David Silva, Mo Salah, Harry Kane

8/18 current PL players (including Vinny K, he only left yesterday) for me. Underlines how strong the top end of the league is at the moment.

No Ronaldo for me! He was of course superb for United in his final 2-3 years but he only really became an absolute beast at Real.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Waz is a weird one. 200+ PL goals. I never even remotely considered him.

Probably still scarred from him standing and pointing in the centre circle vs Iceland.

Hazard and Ronaldo wingbacks :icon_lol:

Veto.

 

[James]

Hazard and Ronaldo wingbacks :icon_lol:

Veto.

Not as wing backs as right and left midfield of a 5.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's the same thing, James.

They have both literally never played there at any point in their entire lives.

 

[James]

It's the same thing, James.

They have both literally never played there at any point in their entire lives.

Didn’t Ronaldo start on the right of a 4-4-2 for United?

I tried to cheat a bit... corrected for you dw

He was a fucking winger at that time.

Playing him as a wing back is like playing Bobby Moore as a fucking number nine you colossal numbskull

 

[Nando]

Can't have somebody in an all time Premier League XI who never won the damn thing.

Peter Schmeichel

Gary Neville
Rio Ferdinand
Nemanja Vidic
Ashley Cole

Cristiano Ronaldo
Roy Keane
Paul Scholes
Robert Pires

Thierry Henry
Alan Shearer

De Gea, Terry, Vieira, Giggs, Lampard, Aguero, Van Persie.

 

[Trips]

Peter Schmeichel

Gary Neville (If TAA continues on his current path he will take this spot in a few years)
Rio Ferdinand
Jaap Stam
Ashley Cole

Cristiano Ronaldo
Steven Gerrard
Paul Scholes
Ryan Giggs

Sergio Aguero
Thierry Henry

Subs: David Seaman, Nemanja Vidic, Frank Lampard, Patrick Vieira, David Beckham, Alan Shearer, David Silva

No Shearer in the XI for me as despite all his goals, Henry and Aguero are better players.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Shearer >>>> Aguero for me.

He was an unbelievable player and re-invented himself after two terrible injuries.

 

[James]

He was a fucking winger at that time.

Playing him as a wing back is like playing Bobby Moore as a fucking number nine you colossal numbskull

I’d put Bobby Moore in goal :icon_mrgreen:
