If you could pick a starting eleven plus seven subs from any players in the world playing right now, what would it be? Here's mine:
Goalkeeper-Iker Casillas(Real Madrid)-Despite Madrid having an awful defence for years, Casillas has always got them out trouble and is an all round excellent keeper.
Right Back-Daniel Alves(Barcelona)-I like full backs that can go forward and Alves fits the bill for that, has also improved the defensive side of his game over the last couple of years.
Centre Back-John Terry(Chelsea)-Such a commited player, will always put his body on the line to keep the ball out.Great leadership skills too.
Centre Back-Ricardo Carvalho(Chelsea)-I picked Carvalho as he forms such a good partnership with Terry, they mask each others flaws and just provide a solid defence.
Left Back-Philipp Lahm(Bayern Munich)-Still only young but seems to have been around for ages, shown with Germany at last couple of major championships what an assest he can be to a team both in attack and defence.
Centre Midfield-Javier Mascherano(Liverpool)-Every midfield needs a holding player in my view, someone to sit deep and break up attacks before starting ones for their own team, this exactly what Javier does and better than anyone else in the world.
Centre Midfield-Cesc Fabregas(Arsenal)-Already played over 200 games for Arsenal at such a young age and he gets better with every season.
Centre Midfield-Steven Gerrard(Liverpool)-What can you say about Gerrard that hasn't already been said? Just the ultimate central midfield player in my view, the amount of times he's single handedly turned a game around for Liverpool is quite extraordinary.
Right Winger-Cristiano Ronaldo(Manchester United)-Best player in the world for me currently, if only he could cut out the diving.
Left Winger-Lionel Messi(Barcelona)-Been compared to Maradona since he was about 17 and already looks like he's on the way to being on that level.
Striker-Fernando Torres(Liverpool)-Took very little time to adapt to the premership after coming with a big reputation whilst in Spain.He's got the pace, power and skill to trouble any defence, that added with his finishing ability.
Subs:
Goalkeeper-Pepe Reina(Liverpool)-Been such a consistent keeper for a couple of years now and has started this season in great form.Also a fantastic at saving penalties.
Full back-Gianluca Zambrotta(AC Milan)-Comfortable at either right back or left back, very good going forward but also strong in defence.
Centre Back-Rio Ferdinand(Manchester United)-Earlier on in his career he seemed to lose concentration and make stupid errors but as he's grown older he's cut out those errors and is certainly one of the worlds best.
Midfield-Wesley Sneijder(Real Madrid)-Can play anywhere in midfield, very skillful and an excellent passer of the ball.
Winger-David Silva (Valencia)-Brilliant at Euro2008, a proper with pace and crossing ability.
Striker-Ruud Van Nistelrooy(Real Madrid)-Still scoring over 20 goals a season at 32 years old.
