Counting only from 2000 even though Zola would be good.
Kahn
Lahm Cannavaro van Dijk Alba
Simeone
Messi Kaka Ronaldo
Shevchenko
This would dick most sides. But do the rules mean two of same nationality or two of who played in the same country?
Yeah I fucked up when I read the rules twice and spent 30 mins trying to fix!Kaka, Cannavaro and Ronaldo played for Madrid
Also Kaka and Shevchenko played for Milan
It's a hard game.Yeah I fucked up when I read the rules twice and spent 30 mins trying to fix!
Litmanen and Suarez played for Liverpool
Butragueño and Zidane played for Madrid
Cruyff and Litmanen played for Ajax
Suarez and Cruyff played for Barca
Counting only from 2000 even though Zola would be good.
Akinfeev
Van Dijk Kompany Hummels

My midfield is better. But of course having both Messi and C. Ronaldo in the same team compensates for a lot. Would be a cracking game.

Oh, I didn’t even know he was on their books once as a young player. 0 senior appearances, so should be OK.
A friend sent me this which I thought was the best so far:
Oblak
Lahm
Kompany
Van Dijk
Maldini
Keane
Dunga
Nedved
Messi
Raul
Mbappe
