Playmaker's Best Premier League Team - Redone

Okay, Zzonked's given me permission for this, and all I'm going to do is tally votes.

Follow what Yarn says, and let's keep it civil.

Oh yes, please no joke teams.

I will disregard teams with the same player in more than one position.

-----------Schemiechel

O'Shea Ferdinand Vidic Cole

Beckham Keane Scholes Giggs

-----Ronaldo Rooney

Seaman
Neville-Adams-Campbell-Cole
Ronaldo-Vieira-Scholes-Pires
Henry-Bergkamp

Just one thing, 3 weeks is probably too long, I reckon this will be dead after about a week. Here's my team:

------------Schmeichel--------------
-Eboue---Adams--Campbell--Riise
Beckham--Vieira--Parlour--Pires
--------Bergkamp-------------
-----------------Henry----------

O'Shea over Gary Neville? Really?

I'll also add joke teams full of the same player etc will be deleted from the thread.

Yes Zzonked, he is more dynamic and under-rated. Given that we don't have any substitutes, he could cover for all other areas of the pitch in the event of injury. I am a big fan of O'Shea.

Can't believe you deleted such a genius post.

I was under the impression we were just picking the best player for their position, rather than considering injures. I think you'd be mad to pick O'Shea in his prime over Neville in his prime at right back.

No Bramble, James?

Reina
Finnan -- Carragher -- Hyypia -- Riise
Mascha -- Alonso
** -- Gerrard -- Garcia
Fowler

** = mind went blank, will fill in later.

Didn't wanna put a joke team on the thread.

There's one here who has picked fucking Eboue, I don't know why you're having a go at me!

Even without injuries, if the team is in a losing position, O'Shea is very useful tactically as he can be pushed forward, giving a greater attacking impetus without wasting a substitution.

Not having a go, I'm just incredulous. He picked Eboue because he's an Arsenal fan, I can't understand why you'd pick O'Shea because no bias factors in.

I think the point of the poll is to name the best player for their position, not to create a functioning team. It would probably be very different if it was.

Schmeichel
Neville Ferdinand Terry Cole
Ronaldo Gerrard Viera Giggs
Bergkamp Henry

That is not a traditional 442 as stated in the OP.

Has to be 442.

Slight Leeds bias

Can't see anyone from my team getting in...
