    Yeah, two centre midfielders but preferable if people nominate at least one defensive midfielder. Otherwise the team will end up too imbalanced.

    I'm all for nominations of the likes of Iniesta, but he's always been much more of an attacking CM.

    For me it's hard to see past the pairing of Iniesta and Xavi.

    My two centre mids would be Lothar Matthaus and Johan Neeskens .................. Anyone who doesn't select Neeskens was born after 1970 :), the guy was incredible.

    Both my choices were able to play the defensive role, but could drive forward also. True box to box, all round midfielders.

    In my lifetime, i would go Gerrard and Zidane. Gerrard could defend and attack and did it in all the big games, and zidane was just exceptionally good (plus he'd headbutt someone to * if it came to it.

    I was thinking there'd be a new thread for each position, so I posted my 'keepers and forgot about it.

    For what it's worth, my back 4 would have been Cafu - Nesta - Maldini - R. Carlos.

    I'll go for a midfield trio of Xavi - Pirlo - Zidane.

    Other nominations would be Scholes, Vieira, Makelele, Kaka, Iniesta.

    I was going to do a thread for every position but it seemed excessive to me.

    I'm not sure I can ever forgive you. My vote for Cafu might have made the difference.
