I see. I wonder the team like Juventus want Mellberg. I guess he will spent his time most in the bench as he can serves as a good backup.

actually i think he can grab a first team there. juv is kinda,lack of experience player in def line. although most their defender is quite talented ,but talent is no way near experience and mellberg has speed + experience, damn i like that guy too

my all star line up for this season would be the Man United squad, with some changes in RB, CM, and FC.

RB - hutton. although he still quite new to EPL, but then he got the speed and defended very well so far.

CM - i need gerard here. he is sooo essential and SAF once remarked that he hate liverpool so much because they got their own Roy Keane in Gerard.

FC- its got to be to torres.

apart from those 3, just rotate those man uniteds'

I agree with you to an extent. The current Man Utd team may beat any Premiership All-Star team we select. I myself have always been an advocate of building successful teams rather than buying the most expensive players in the world. However as this is a 'dream team' thread, I think you have to throw the criteria of players being able to function as a unit out of the window. It's like selecting a fantasy team. It's based on individual performances in the end.

heemm..so, just select personals that excel at their respective positions?

well..thats.. a bit VERY DREAMY TEAM i must say.

Reina - Goalie

Evra,Toure,King,Sagna - Defence

Ronaldo,Gerard,Barry,Young - Midfield

Owen,Drogba - Attack

GK : Van Der Sar

RB : Wes Brown
CB : Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic
LB : Joleon Lescott

RM : Cristiano Ronaldo
CM : Steven Gerrard and Ballack
LM : Joe Cole

CF : Adebayor and Fernando Torres

GK : David James

RB : Glen Johnson
CB : Martin Laursen and Rio Ferdinand
LB : Patrice Evra

RM : Cristiano Ronaldo
CM : Gareth Barry and Niko Kranjcar
LM : Joe Cole

CF : Fernando Torres and Roque Santa Cruz

chun!

1st team

David James
Joleon Lescott
Rio Ferdinand
Skrtel
Distin
Cristiano Ronaldo
Steven Gerrard
C.Fabregas
Essien
Emanuel Adebayor
Fernando Torres

Don't think they will let him go as I don't see Gary Neville doin another full 38 games next season with his age, fitness & this recurrence of old injuries due the prolong EPL combat wounds acting-up. Wes Brown at right back is the best bet the have at the moment considering his seniority at Man U, his previous centre back experience to the point of a regular England place. Who else to buy other than from the continent.

Cech
Sagna Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Ronaldo Fabregas Gerrard Helb
Torres Rooney

For me cech is the best goalkeeper in the bpl so no vds . .

im surprised nobody mentioned Michael Carrick. I think he is the best CM for man utd this season despite his poor performances early in the season.

and im also surprised Capello didnt choose him for England

He will be there for sure in the future England lineup in WorldCup. He has established himself as the steady first-choice holding midfield in United.

My best Lineup:

GK: VDS

Def: Richards Vidic Terry Evra

Midfield: Nani Carrick Fabregas Arteta Hleb

Striker: Rooney(Lone striker)

My best EPL team line-up for this season will below as below:




remarks on the above selection:
GK: Cech not in my selection coz MIA alot. (p/s: no doubt he is among the best)
DF: not much choice between performing RB n LB this season. CB must be the rock partner from MU.

RM & LM: i put "or" coz winger nowadays are interchangeable.
AM: Attacking options for midfield.
DM: Defensive options for midfield.
AM/DM/CM: selection for versatile team formation.

SS: Supporting Striker.
CF: Lone striker.

do remember, i select based on this season's performance as requested by the topic... i know some of u selected non-performing players, although they are good players, but u're contradicting with the thread title..

GK:D.James
RB:Sagna CB:Rio.Ferdinand,Vidic (i choose both based on their partnership) LB:Evra
Midfielder: CR Gerrard Hargreaves(he's not selected for his only free-kick) Anderson Hleb
Striker:Rooney (he's not scoring much but he's much needed in a team beside scoring for his enthusiasm on the pitch)

why BPL only?

below are the BPL players who I'll consider to have them in my FIFA 08 team:

Van der Sar - he's the best GK Man Utd got after Peter Schmeichel.
Reina - poor Dudek

Jamie Carragher - English version of Nesta.
Calvaho - who says Terry's the best defender in Chelsea?

Joe Cole - best BPL winger.
Gerrard - under McLaren, Capello, Houllier, Benitez, he's RB, RM, CM, DM, AM, LM.... he has almost done all kind of positin, with flair.
Mascherano - i never saw the point of having DM until his persence
Fabregas - yeah skipper
Hargreaves - young star of Bayern. but SAF's too old to realize it.

Torres - other than heading, he's an all-round striker
C.Ronaldo - why still a winger when clearly he scores more than he assist every season? ps. he won't dive or misconduct in FIFA game.
