Regional XI's

[Raino85]

I remember years and years ago FourFourtwo did an article on regional xi's currently playing at the moment to see who the best team would be.
Off the top of my head there was a team from Manchester, Liverpool, London, Sheffield, Cardiff etc
I though to make it abit easier i would maybe pick 9 regions in the UK

Merseyside (inc Cheshire)
Manchester & Greater Manchester
North (Newcastle, Lake District ,Hull, Newcastle,Middlesbrough, Cumbria etc)
Yorkshire (Leeds, Barnsley, Sheffield)
London & surrounding areas
Midlands
South Coast
Cardiff & Bristol
East Anglia

Maybe a stipulation is that they would have had to of played at least 10 first team games for a club, I’ve started with some obvious choices, would love for additions and suggestions (even formation changes to make sides better, I have started off with just 4-4-2) and eventually we can see who would have the strongest side.

A good Covid-19 game to pass the time

Help filling the teams out will be a massive help

I noticed Bournemouths Aaron Ramsdale was from Stoke on Trent - i have no idea were to class Stoke in the regions

 

[chrismpw]

Isnt Walcott from the south coast?

 

[Groucho]

North (Newcastle, Lake District ,Hull, Newcastle,Middlesbrough, Cumbria etc)

I'd personally count Cumbria in the north west on the count of it being in the north west.

 

[Raino85]

I was more doing North as in north north.
Not manchester/liverpool north.
I suppose i could change the manchester one to North West, but id have to join manchester & liverpool together then

 

[Raino85]

Isnt Walcott from the south coast?

Stanmore apparently, which is in London

 

[Toast]

Pickford not even number 1 for the north !!

 

[chrismpw]

Stanmore apparently, which is in London

Bleeding cockneys get everywhere.

 

[Toast]

Isnt Walcott from the south coast?

London boy.

When he was at saints academy he stayed with a family down here.
The dad of the house is a surveyor who valued our house when we moved.

 

[Huyton Layne]

I'd have holgate over stones personally

 

[Huyton Layne]

Oh and that Tarkowski is a manc

Dunk for south coast

 

[Raino85]

I've added Luke Shaw to London

Oh and that Tarkowski is a manc

Dunk for south coast

Again additions & replacements would be greatful, even if you can shoehorn a player in a position so i cna change a formation

 

[Nymzee]

Current players only?

 

[Connor]

We've won this, even with Martin Kelly

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Ademola Lookman is from just down the road to me. He can sit on the bench for the London XI
