As the leagues are drawing to a close I was wondering who you guys would have in your European eleven (European based, not nationality).

I can't see anybody doing anything that spectacular in the last few weeks of the season to change your mind on whether to have them in the team or not, and one good perfromance shouldn't make a difference anyway. so pick your eleven, formation doesn't matter.

--Ibrahimovic------Drogba-----
--------------Kaka'---------------
----Gerrard-------Ronaldo------
-------------Essien---------------
Riise---Vidic---Carvalho--Alves
--------------Reina---------------

Obviously it won't work tactically. Maybe in South American all-ofensive football. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Subs: Palop, Ramos, Carragher, Alex, Scholes, Pirlo, Villa, Berbatov and Nistelrooy.

*

-Reina (Top keeper, really like him).

-Riise (The best in EPL and Europe. He had some better seasons before but still... top).
-Vidic (Until he got injuried, he was the man in United's defence).
-Carvalho (Best CB in EPL this season).
-Alves (Best in-form RB worldwide).

-Essien (Impressive season).
-Gerrard (Liverpool's soul).
-Ronaldo (Best RW in the world at the moment).
-Kaka' (The world's #1).

-Ibrahimovic (He took Inter to another level).
-Drogba (Good season).

*

-Palop (Sevilla GK. Really good).
-Carragher (Top defender).
-Ramos (Really young and amazing).
-Alex (Impressive CB).
-Scholes (Class, really important for United).
-Villa (Amazing).
-Nistelrooy (Just feed him. Always there).
-Berbatov (Top-class).

My best 20 men squad for 2006/07.

My team is:

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid & Spain)
If Madrid win the league, he deserves so much credit, he's kept them in so many games.
Right Back: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid & Spain)
For a weak defensive team he's done well at the back, chipped in with some important goals, too.
Left Back: Gabriel Heinze (Man United & Argentina)
Done fantastic and earned captaincy for a few games thanks to his hard work and class.
Centre Back: Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea & Portugal)
John Terry hasn't had his best season, Ricardo has more than made up for it.
Centre Back: Marco Materazzi (Inter & Italy)
Great work at the back, scored a fair few goals an' all.
Right Midfield: Cristiano Ronaldo (Man United & Portugal)
I hate the guy with passion. Scored plenty of goals, some very important ones along the way.
Left Midfield: Lionel Messi (Barcelona & Argentina)
Replicated Maradona's solo goal, scored a hat-trick against Real. Top class act.
Centre Midfield: Andrea Pirlo (Milan & Italy)
Best passer of the ball in the world in my opinion, where would we be without him.
Centre Midfield: Kaka (Milan & Brazil)
The best in the world at the moment, his performances againt United even got the British press praising him!
Striker: Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham & Bulgaria)
Scored plenty of goals this season, even when he doesn't score, he oozes class.
Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter & Sweden)
Why couldn't we get him? Best striker in Serie A, me thinks.
Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson (Man United & Scotland)
Worked wonders in 3 competitions this year, still one of the best.

Subs:
Coach: Juande Ramos (Sevilla & Spain)
Made the final of 2 competitions and still going strong in the league. A job well done.
GK: Andres Palop (Sevilla & Spain)
If it wasn't for him Sevilla wouldn't be going to Glasgow, scored a vital last minute goal in the UEFA Cup, what a keeper.
DF: Dani Alves (Sevilla & Brazil)
Does well defensively, typical Brazillian full-back, great attacker.
DF: Jamie Carragher (Liverpool & England)
Gets ignored by England, proves over and over again that he's one of the best defenders in the world.
MF: Gennaro Gattuso (Milan & Italy)
Ads the fight and passion to our team, possibly the most under-rated player in Europe.
MF: Francesco Totti (Roma & Italy)
He shouldn't be up front, but he's done a great job scoring goals this year.
ST: Ruud Van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid & Holland)
Proven at another great club that he can get the job done anywhere, one of the most prolific scores in the world.
ST: Didier Drogba (Chelsea & Ivory Coast)
Without him Chelsea would have really struggled this year, carried them all the way.

----------------Cech-----------------
D.Alves--Nesta--Carvalho--Bridge
----------Essien--Gattuso-----------
----------------Pirlo------------------
--Kaka----------------------C.Ron--
---------------Drogba----------------

I know Cech and Nesta were out for most of the season, but they proved to be the difference for their respective teams when they returned to the team and were playing in top form.

Alves is simply the best in his position right now, so it's got to be him, and Bridge is probably one of the most underrated players I know of. He sees more bench time then playing time because of Cashley, but imo he should be the starter.

Essien and Rino were simply amazing this season, can you imagine having those 2 in the same team?!!

Of the Pirlo type players, he has been the best imo, and I know he started bad in the beginning of the season but he got better as time went on and showed up for us when it really mattered.

Kaka, no words, carried us to the final in the CL, he might not shown his best performances in Serie A, but he swept Europe away with his performances this season, no question about it, he is number 1 atm.

Ronaldo was immense in the league this season, ok so he might only show up against the lesser team but that is what will win you the league, being consistant against the so called lesser teams, and at times he has won Man U games all on his own.

If Drogba wasn't in the form that he was in this season then Chelsea would have sinked by the end of December. The only 2 pieces of silverware they won where due to his goals, and if he was scoring like he was in the league then Chelsea could have found themselves battleing for second with Liverpool. That's how essential all his winning goal were to Chelsea this season.

You wouldn't know he's a Milan fan (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here is my super team:

----------------Cech-----------------
D.Alves--Nesta--Carvalho--Riise---
----------Essien--Gattuso-----------
--Messi--------Kaka---------C.Ron--
---------------Drogba----------------

Subs: Casillas, Gerrard, Pirlo, Totti, Ramos, Alex, Ibrahimovic, Villa

Coach: Carlo Ancelotti

[KillerMax]

----------------Casillas---------------------------
---Alvez----Nesta--Carvalho----Jankulovski---
-----------Gattuso------Teymourian-------------
-C. Ronaldo-----------------------------Messi----
---------------Kaka--------------------------------
-------------------------Totti-----------------------

Casillias: Just an amazing goalkeeper with a lot of passion for his club.

Nesta: The best CB in the World since Baresi and Maldini.

Carvalho: I don't like him but he has been Chelsea's most consistent player alongside Drogba.

Jankulovski: He did great this season. If it wasn't for his crucial goals in the moment were everything was going against us, we wouldn't be where we are right now. Some great assists too.

Gattuso: If I you are a coach, you would want Gattuso on your team. Simple as that.

Teymourian: Surprise of the season in the EPL. Right after his debut h started impressing and had a big hand in Bolton's EPL position. Just a complete center mid.

C. Ronaldo: Best SMF and WF in the World. Period.

Messi: It's exciting to finally see a player with Maradona's vision again. And doing all these things while being so young, he has left the World in awe.

Totti: I would have given anything to have Totti in Milan. Totti has done so well Roma and this season was no exception.




Subs:
Buffon: My list wouldn't be complete without him in it.
Naldo: A great underrated defender.
Ramos: Has done wonders for Real this term.
Essien: A very complete player that works hard.
Diego: Another underrated player who impressed very much this term.
Huntelaar: Huntelaar is possibly the most underrated player in Europe with such enormous talent. After letting Berbatov slip, we would have to be very very foolish to do the same to this guy. Lucky is the team that is gonna end up with him.
