Dream lineup
Ive seen lots of posts of “goat lineups” or “best lineup” or “best lineup of blank”. But i havent seen a post about an 11 of players you enjoy. So for this post just tell us your favorite players 11. (can be because of on or off the pitch)
Mine is:
LW: Son - Not only is he one of the most enjoyable players in the prem rn, but he also is a great person off the pitch as well.
ST: Giroud - Im a Chelsea fan but also like AC Milan and so Ive seen lots of Giroud and enjoy watching him play.
RW: Messi - Hes the reason I started watching football and probably a big reason on why I started playing as well. Hes my goat and is an undisputed top 2 of all time.
CM: Özil - More of a 10 but i wanna fit him in the formation because he was so enjoyable to watch and seemed magical with the ball.
CDM: Kante - No reasons have to be put.
CM: Valverde - I enjoy watching him play as he is a very well rounded player and I think he is one of the best CMs in the world for how well rounded he is.
LB: Chillwell - Ive always been drawn to him and when hes not injured he truly is an amazing fullback able to cross in the box and dribble and such. He is also my current favorite player.
CB: Sergio Ramos - Come on, its Sergio Ramos.
CB: Thiago Silva - In my opinion hes one of the best cbs in the world right now, he is a very humble person as well and the fact hes one of the best at 39 is insane.
RB: Reece James - Great player when uninjured, possible one of the best. And he is a great lad off the pitch.
GK: Tough one but ill go with Neuer because of the way he revolutionized the goalkeeper position.
GK- Keylor Navas: Incredibly underrated, almost disrespected keeper who I followed since his Levante days. National hero for Costa Rica.
LB - Roberto Carlos: Incredible highlight reel which I loved as a kid, but also a great player from the matches I managed to catch. Won everything.
CB - Diego Godin: He was a master of the dark arts, and didn’t need to be the fastest or strongest defender to be elite. A shithouse master with better defensive ability than nearly all his contemporaries.
CB - Alessandro Nesta: I watched him play in his twilight years and I felt inspired. My pick alongside Maldini for best defenders I’ve ever seen.
RB - Dani Alves: Mesmerizing player, terrible person, and I feel like subbing him out for Pizszcek honestly.
LM - Marco Reus: Club captain for years and stuck around with us even when the biggest clubs came calling.
CM - Ngolo Kante: One of the best midfielders of all time. Too much fun to watch him nullify tons of elite players.
CM - Renato Tapia: Elite Peruvian player, and the only shining light I see in this period.
RM - Arjen Robben: I’m a fan of the way he cuts inside
CF - Lionel Messi: He makes the list because he’s hands down the greatest player to grace the sport. Better than Maradona or Pele imo.
CF - Paolo Guerrero: One of the big reasons why went through a national team renaissance. Brought me so much joy in a very dark period for Peruvian football. He was elite for the national team.
