Problem is, apart from us, hardly anyone else watches him for 90 mins every week. Even the football pundits don't, so unfortunatly it will always be the players at the biggest clubs getting picked.

Pique is overrated in my opinion, I don't know how he got in that team 3 years running. Well I do, but he doesn't deserve it.

And yes, I think Baines is the best left back in the world, without doubt. He's a real pleasure to watch and we're quite lucky to see him play week in, week out playing at such a consistently high level.

I love the guy, he's certainly my favourite current player.
 
There is no one that can touch Baines at LB for me. Alba, Marcelo, Cole, Evra, none of them have the ability Baines does, admittedly Marcelo and Alba are almost as good in an attacking sense, but certainly not defensively.
 
I'd rather he not be on the list, Baines is special in the sense that he's a world class local lad and an excellent role model on the field who loves playing for Everton, i'm sound with him being under the radar-ish (y)
 
I've seen people putting Cleverley, Bale & Gerrard in their world eleven's, I do despair sometimes.

But yes, he should, best left back in the world
 
Seen some with Nani, Skrtel, Ivanovic, Zabaleta, Di Maria, Hazard and even more to boot. Do these people watch Football or just play FIFA ?

Edit - There is now one with Gareth Barry. I've lost all faith in people.
 
Young Spanish chap in my lesson today was putting together his World XI, instead of telling him off for not doing his work I demanded he put Baines at left-back, he obliged.

Kid is getting an A.
