Best team with a twist


Recommended Posts

Bored so thought id put this out there. What is the best team that your club could put out based on current or past players who are still playing. Standard of player to be judged on how they are now, not at any time in their career. ie Celtic could have Van Dyke as he is playing now.

Rules are that if another SPFL sold a player first then that club has the player not yours. ie Craig Gordon is Hearts. Scott Brown is Hibs. Kenny Miller is Hibs etc

What club would have the best team?

So, it's basically a Who's had the best youth setup in recent years?

No because it can include players bought from abroad. ie Van Dyke for Celtic.

The thought came from a comment made in the Southampton game about what kind of team they could have had if they didnt sell.

I think Hibs might have a very strong team. Was Hibs Griffiths first Scottish team? If so you would have Scott Brown in centre mid with Griffith and Miller up front. Not sure if they have ever had a decent GK though.

So, Celtic would thump us all as then it just becomes about who they have thrown money at to get good Euro players in? You say Brown but wouldn't Wanyama be a better shout if you are including guys like Van Dyke?

 Brown would be a Hibs player.

Lewis 

Logan, O'Connor, Considine, Shinnie

Arneson, Heikkenen (out of retirement)

Hayes, Maguire, Fraser

Rooney (but only if it's the one of two season ago)

Funniest thing is that we can have that back 4 right now but for some bizarre and unknown reasons, McInnes won't play it.

I tried to do this for Rangers and really struggled to pull a team together!  I'll have another bash now.

                                  1. Allan McGregor

2. Allan Hutton. 4. Kyle Bartley. 5. Madjid Bougherra 3. Lee Hodson

7. Alejandro Bedoya. 6. Steven Davis.  8. Charlie Adam. 11. Vlaidmir Weiss

                          9.Nikicia Jelavic. 10. Kyle Lafferty

 

Decent enough in midfield but that defence is atrocious!!
