DL: Leighton Baines
DC: John Terry
DC: Jamie Carragher
MC: Dele Alli
MC: Matt Le Tissier
MR: Paul Merson
ML: Jadon Sancho

Merson and Terry clash, both played for Villa

[Chris2K]

In that case my Arsenal and Middlesbrough representative falls to Ray Parlour.

 

EDIT: Actually I'll get rid of Terry, slot Tyrone Mings in as a former Chippenham Town player bias, then move Alli to RM and get Lampard in as CM as I didn't have a Man City player represented.

this quiz has some fun questions

[Chris2K]

9/10, which I'm very pleasantly surprise by as a lot of it was through the process of elimination and I assumed I'd miss something. Only got #6 wrong.

Yeah he's a False 4.

(It was supposed to be Neville and I've fixed it)

Same, 9/10.

Missed number 9, and to be fair, I had a feeling the answer would be the one it turned out to be, but didn't want to risk it.

[Gorka]

Remember 'the Wall' from Only Connect?

I was bored and made a World Cup version. I don't know how difficult it is, but enjoy.

[Colly]

I got nothing.

[METALMAN]

That was cool! I got 6/10: two rows and correct reasons for all four.

[Malenko]

I got the 4 rows but only got reasons for 2 of them since I paired the last 8 in the only way that made sense to me but I don't really know the answer.

[Rich]

GK Hart (Shrewsbury, Man City, Tranmere, Birmingham, Blackpool, Torino, West Ham, Burnley)

Fun/super annoying challenge for y’all. Try and put together the strongest XI that you can, with the following parameters:

- Must’ve played while you were alive

- Only one from any club

- Only one from any country

So for example if you picked Cristiano Ronaldo you could not pick anyone else who has ever played for Portugal, Sporting, United, Madrid, or Juve.

It is really fucking annoying this. My team is in spoilers below -
