Man City v Best of the Rest

[bazza86]

Having watched Man City take PSG apart last night I was wondering whether a combined Premier League team, consisting of players from the 14 teams outside the supposedly 'big 6', would be good enough to give this Man City team a game?
A combined team could include any 11 of the following (my chosen 11 marked in red) although I'm sure I've missed off others who are just as good, or maybe better, than those listed below:

Goalkeeper:
Schmeichel - Leicester
Pope - Burnley
Pickford - Everton

Defenders:
Dunk - Brighton
Lamptey - Brighton
Coufal - WHU
Justin - Leicester
Evans - Leicester
Castagne - Leicester
Digne - Everton
Godfrey - Everton
Mee - Burnley

Midfield:
Grealish - Aston Villa
Maddison - Leicester
Tielemans - Leicester
Ndidi - Leicester
Rice - WHU
Soucek - WHU
James - Everton
Doucoure - Everton
Eze - Crystal Palace
Neves - Wolves
Bissouma - Brighton
Anguissa - Fulham
Ward-Prowse - Southampton

Forwards:
Vardy - Leicester
Barnes - Leicester
DCL - Everton
Richarlison - Everton
Watkins - Aston Villa
Zaha - Crystal Palace
Neto - Wolves
Raphinha - Leeds
Bamford - Leeds
Antonio - WHU
Ings - Southampton
Saint-Maximin - Newcastle
Jimenez - Wolves
Traore - Wolves

The only area with potential weakness would be the defence but there is strength in depth for all other positions with endless combinations.

Are you joking? Cant tell

 

[PaddyJames]

If you started every player on your list and it was a game of murder ball then yeah.

 

[barneygumble]

The fact you've left out James Justin, who's been outstanding all season and included Bissouma, but excluded Ndidi, who's also been excellent means 5-0 to City here.

Schmeichel is garbage too, and I'd be having Martinez in all day before him.

Raphinha and Jimenez.... not sure what to say.

The team you picked is first and foremost not the best of the rest and secondly no where near able to compete with City which actually says a lot about where football is at the minute.

I’m not sure any of them could get near Citeh but I’d park the bus and have Vardy up top. With a natural slotter like him you’ve got half a chance.

Good thread subject by the way

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Leicester should not be here, as they are currently a top six side. Should be swapped for Arsenal.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Think I would also have Rice and Coufal from WHU. Antonio too if fit.

 

[mill]

Wtf is going on with the strikers.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Can that beat City's bench, even?

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Any moderately talented team set up well should be able to give City a game. They might still lose but not, say, 6-0 with City having 75% possession.

Beating them would be difficult but not impossible, Leeds did it a few weeks ago.

 

[LABlue2]

Raphina and Jiminez, good god.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

What am I witnessing here?????

 

[Terrarian]

If it's a fantasy thing, then I would assume James is 100% fit, therefore how is he not included?
