    I can't name 11 as I've not been following the WC news much but Sane and Coman spring to mind although I'll admit I don't know Coman's current form but he was some player the season before last.

    Mind you, I read France could field 11 players not going that would beat England and that was in the Guardian.

    Valencia is a surprise but I did forget about Sanchez.

    Buffon
    Coleman--Cheillini--Van Dijk--Alaba
    Bale--Rabiot--Wijnaldum--Sane
    Dembele--Aubaumayeng​

    Wee bit attacking-minded.

    Probably not massively diffeant core of 15-25 players will be picked by most people I imagine.
    I just can't split the keepers.


    Buffon / Oblak

    Coleman - Chiellini - Alonso

    Sane - Hamsik - Veratti - Alaba

    Sanchez - Aubaumayang - Bale



    Anyone ever tried this with an all time 23 man squad of players who never played a game at a world cup. Fascinating stuff. Well, for sad anoraks like myself anyway.

    You're more than welcome to run with the idea if you want to start it.
    To me it is fascinating, some of the stories behind some of the guys who missed out (Schuster/Hulsoff) or were just exceptional at the wrong time (Giggs/McNeill), or the wrong country (Best/Weah)
