either on current form or overall abilty?? whatever ye want yourselves: im going with overall ability:
-------------------Van der Sar
-----Neville------Ferdinand------Terry------Toure
----Ronaldo---------Gerrard------Scholes----Lampard
--------------------Rooney--------Henry
12.A.Cole
13.Van persie
14.Giggs
15.Fabregas
16.Drogba
17.essien
18.makalele
19.vidic
20.larsson
21.saha
22.cech
23.alonso
24.schevckenko
25.ballack
Refusing to acknowledge that there may be some players playing well outside the top 4 teams like for example Given while there is a general consensus that Rooney is having a crap season by his standards.
Jesus every single player plays for one of the top 4. :D
Too many players playing out of position, Toure is a centre back and Lampard is never a left winger. Vidic is a better defender than Ferdianand also.No balance in the centre either with Gerrard and Scholes.
Going on this season I would have it
Jaaskalinen
Finnan Vidic Toure Taylor
Gerrard Essien Scholes Ronaldo
Drogba Doyle
Given
Finnan Carragher Terry Gallas
Ronaldo Gerrard Essien Giggs
Drogba Henry
Subs : Van Der Sar, Ben Haim, Vidic, Doyle, Scholes, Berbatov, Silva.
Based on form this season.
Gallas and Henry and Given have missed large parts of the season through injury, surely that rules them out.
Given
Ferdinand Vidic Terry
Essien
Ronaldo Scholes Lampard Giggs
Henry
Drogba
Subs: Van Der Sar, Ben Haim, Taylor, Doyle, Kanu
How Feo123 can put Schevckenko and Ballack in his list is beyond me......
This might explain the side..Quote:

Going with overall ability I'd go for
--------------------------------Given-------------------------------------
--G. Neville-----------Terry---------------Toure--------------------Gallas--
---Hleb---------------Fabregas------------Alonso------------------Giggs---
-------------------Henry------------------Shevchenko--------------------
Going on form David Bentley, Ronaldo, and Drogba would have to included somewhere, and I'd have to think about dropping Gallas due to long layoffs this season
Do people really think that Gallas is a better left back than Ashley Cole?
Gallas is far better at centre back and Cole , odious ***** and all that he is , is still a fine left back
I wouldn't. Riise, Heinze, Bridge, Queudrue are better.
I'd have Gallas as a centre-half though.
Cashley has been average this season and that's what I based mine on.
Cole is one of the most overrated players in the game. He's a poor man's Terry Phelan. Lots of pace but not a lot else.Quote:

Comparing him to Terry Phelan is overrating him, at least Phelan could defend occasionally, Cole is classic case of a quick player who hasn't had the need to develop any other facet of his game.Quote:

Drogba
King
Scholes
Giggs
i think ashley cole is having an awful season, his saving grace is touted as his pace but ive seen him outpaced on numerous occasions this season, i remember saying it in at least 5 matches..can only think of agbonlahor at the moment but i'm certain of it. i'd pick gallas ahead of him all the time, though matty taylor gets my vote on form, and probably ability too. funny how the thread starter entitled the topic 'your premiership 11 and then named 25 players!!
James; neville, toure, terry, taylor; lennon, essien, scholes, ronaldo; doyle, henry
as i said i based mine on overall ability, dont tell me there crap players....Quote:

I'd rather play Gallas at centre-half aswell, but I'd also like to have Terry and Toure in the side, so since Gallas is the more adaptable of the three he gets pushed out left ahead of over-rated Cashley and Gabriel 'The Crock' Heinze. And I thought if I was going to get slated for putting a certain player in it would be Hleb
reina
finnian - terry - toure - solano
ronaldo - essein- fabrgas - giggs
dorgba - doyle
van der Sar
G. Neville - Vidic - Ferdinand - Taylor
Ronaldo - Scholes - Essien - Barry
Drogba - Doyle
On the season so far:
Given
Richards-Vidic-Terry-Evra
Ronaldo-Essien-Scholes-Fabregas
Drogba-Van Persie
I don't know why all the love for Gerrard, he's had a pretty poor season by his standards.
van der Sar
Neville - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
Ronaldo - Scholes - Carrick - Giggs
Rooney - Solskjaer
:D
good selection
Did you see him against Wycome last night. Pace got him in to some really good positions but he repeatedly gave the ball away and defensively he was exposed at times.Quote:

I have mantained for years that Cole is over-rated, I think the message is starting to get through :D
Given
G.Neville Terry Vidic
C.Ronaldo Scholes Gerrard Giggs
Rooney Drogba Henry
so what if anybodys 11 contains players who play for the top 4, naturally they should have the 11 best players in the league amongst them. Putting players as unproven as Huddlestone in your 11 is simply ridiculous and just seems as if your trying to prove something, it doesnt make you more intelligent because the players are more obscure
Just means they are myopic. Top 4 don't necessarily have to have the top 11 players.Quote:

would love to have Reina in there (most clean sheets) but imo Given is best prem keeper.
not many other players could get in there on current form imo.
cech
gallas
vidic
terry
evra
ronaldo
lampard
fabregas
gerrard
drogba
rooney
as good as given is he has been injured for a decent bit of the season so far..and jaskelinien is a great keeper but i think the best on form so far this season is ben foster at watford...now i know it always easier to look good with a bad team but he still has to make the saves(thats not easy to say coming form a liverpool fan...but man u have a great keeper on thier hands there)
--------------Van Der Sar-----------
Eboue-----Ferdinand---Terry-----Cole
--------------Makelele---------------
-Ronaldo-----Lampard----Robben-----
-----------Drogba-Henry-----------
I based my "team" on seeing all the players live this season at my club games this season so far and took that on board when naming my 11 instead of boringly throwing down 11 names from the top 4.Quote:
