Dr. Gonzo 8,197 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 So let's see if we can make a WORLD XI... but let's add some constraints, because otherwise it'll look like all the other "best ever XIs" that are (probably) all over the place. Let's make a weird XI. So let's use: 3 European Players 3 South American Players And then we'll do the rest from everywhere else. That should make our lists substantially different. But if we've got too many players from a particular continent... let's add another constraint to stop that. Shall we start off somewhere easy? Let's start off easy. Leo Messi - we should be able to pretty easily fit him into the side. But now we've got 2 South American players left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 5,107 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 My suggestion, make it an actual team that would work. So no midfield trio of Platini, Maradona, Cruyff, for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, besides Casemiro he's been the best South American destroyer midfield in Europe. I'll hold my hands up and admit I put him in cos he's Peruvian instead of Casemiro, but I wouldn't have done it if I didn't believe he was comfortably top 3 from SA this season in his role.

Moderator Tommy 12,628 Posted March 9, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2021 Kinda gotta ignore the fact that no Peruvian should be in any kind of World's XI? No offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache 672 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Like I said, he's disputably been the best CDM from South America in Europe this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,403 Posted March 9, 2021 Administrator Share Posted March 9, 2021 DM should be Wilfred Ndidi - one of the 5 non-European/SA players. Everyone agreed? Good. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's just using your power to fuck me over. @Dr. Gonzo I said it first (and I put forth relevant facts to prove my point) don't listen to him! Ndidi will get his chance next time.

It doesn't say CDM, but building a team from different continents requires balance. Again, I wouldn't have said Tapia if I didn't think he was one of the better CDM's in Europe this season, besides just being the 2nd best South American destroyer. In Spain, media is touting for him to be the best signing of the season for any club, and is the only one in the league competing with Casemiro for the most interceptions and defensive duels. You just think it's ludicrous because I put a Peruvian forth. Edit: also linked with Juve, PSG and Atletico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always preferred Aquino over Tapia, but one of them is playing in Mexico and the other in a top 5 league and succeeding. There's a reason I brought him up.

That was my only reason for picking him over Casemiro, I admitted it. That doesn't take away that he's been one of the most underrated and under the radar CDM's in Europe.

Spike 5,107 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 We have one more South American and we aren't using it to pick Renato 'he has more stats so he is better' Tapia. Fucks sake, he plays for Celta and Casemiro plays for Real Madrid, which do you think would have more work to do defensively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again, literally everyone in Spain will tell you he's probably the best or 2nd best CDM in La Liga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
