SO16_Saint Posted 31 May, 2016 Share Posted 31 May, 2016 So in another thread I mentioned an idea I've been thinking about. I really should speak to Fifa Basically it's where each of the top European Leagues put together a team and compete against each other, akin to the Euros or WC. Each team is made up of the players from each League - regardless of nationality. Each team has to have at least 1 player in the 23 man squad. Who would be in your PL Team?

VectisSaint Posted 31 May, 2016 Share Posted 31 May, 2016 Football League representatiive matches were a regular event until the 1970s. Serie A matches continued into the 90s. Killed off by regular European club matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 I'll give this a punt. I guess pick the best player from each club then add 3 top players. GK: de Gea (Man Utd), Butland (Stoke), Foster (WBA) RB: Bellerin (Arsenal), Clyne (Liverpool) CB: van Dijk (Southampton), Stones (Everton) CB: Williams (Swansea), Kompany (Man City) LB: Daniels (Bournemouth), Bertrand (Saints) DM: Kante (Leicester), Gueye (Villa) AM: Payet (Wham), Hazard (Chelsea) LW: Bolasie (Palace), Brady (Norwich) RW: Mahrez (Leicester), Sissoko (Newcastle) Str: Kane (Spuds), Defoe (Sunderland) Str: Aguero (Man City), Ighalo (Watford) Bloody hell Thats harder than I expected, especially trying to get a balanced squad. The likes of Alli, Vardy, Morgan, Ozil and Toby couldn't be accommodated, and other good players too. (I went with 2 Saints though!). There are bound to be better squads out there.

Without overanalyzing, I would swap out Kompany who is unlikely to play due to injury, for Toby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfahaji Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 Worth bearing in mind that La Liga could boast an attack comprising Suarez, Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Bale & Griezmann. All different nationalities. You could have 3 from Barca and 2 from Madrid and still comply with the rules...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 A league championships every 4 years would be brilliant- none if this one from each team though- just the bext XI available- Take the top 4 leagues and have a group of 4, it wouldn't take long and would be simple- just a simple group, no round robins.

Hatch Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 I'm currently watching the State of Origin. So how about inter county matches, imagine a team made up of players from Soton and Pompey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 1 June, 2016 Share Posted 1 June, 2016 A league championships every 4 years would be brilliant- none if this one from each team though- just the bext XI available- Take the top 4 leagues and have a group of 4, it wouldn't take long and would be simple- just a simple group, no round robins. So that would be 14 players from a bag containing Man U, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Vardy. No, like the rules as it makes the team more representative, removes the big team bias, and would be a laugh, PLUS all the fans would get behind their player and team.
