I know, I know, you have seen this exact question thousands of times, but I’m curious, and I want to see how you rate mine:
Ronaldo Maradona Messi
Zidane Pele
Matthaus
Maldini Beckenbauer Baresi Cafu
Casillas
Notes:
Goalkeeper: Never liked Yashin, and I slightly like Casillas over Neuer. Buffon comes in behind both at third.
Fullbacks: Cafu was a no-brainer for me, and I shifted Maldini here to include Baresi at CB because I find Roberto Carlos to be one of the most overrated players in history.
Centrebacks: Beckenbauer was a no-brainer, and Baresi was very underrated and more deserving than Roberto Carlos. Shoutout to Sergio Ramos though.
Defensive Midfielder: The hardest working position in my eyes, so I had to include one. If I wanted two CAMs, I needed a CDM, so I went for the best option in Matthaus.
Attacking Midfielders: The formation is wonky, but I went for two CAMs. This formation would let in 5 goals a game if it didn’t have the greatest defense of all time. I chose Zizou because of how impactful he was when he played, and Pele as a Cam, because Pele was actually a CAM, not a striker, so he was the best option for me.
Wingers: The goats. What can I say?
Striker: Pele is better than Maradona, and so I would rather Pele play in his correct role and shift Maradona up top, as Pele will impact my team more.
If I had a coach it would be Alex Ferguson
Based on players I have seen play and judging on their prime, not longevity
Casillas Cafu, Hierro, Maldini, Carlos Redondo Modric, Xavi Messi, R9, Cr7
