As the title says, pick a squad of players and a system for players not from Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Man Utd.

I'm bored so i need somethin to keep me entertained.

My formation would be a 4-4-2. I'd go for a continental style of playing the ball out from the back and quck counter attacking. When the team loses the ball i would expect my captian to organise the two banks of 4 quickly and then push up and press in 3's and 4's.

Kanoute Keane

Fernandes Malbranque Davis Davies

Barry Upson Ehiogu Carr

Niemi

Taylor
Southgate
Dunn
Rooney
Phillips

I've left alot of good players out of the team but i feel thats as good as i could think of. I wanted a certain mix of players with the right qualities thinking of all aspects of the game.

I think the Goalkeeper is a very good one. good reflexes good kicking. Not bad from crosses either.

I went for Carr at right back he'd possibly be a contender to be my captain. He's strong can defend and overlaps well. He's got great energy and has a good alround game.

On the left i couldn't think who to pick and i've always rated Gareth Barry. For me he's one of the best left sided players in the country and has improved alot these last two seasons. I know he plays left midfield for Villa but he has played left back and centre half and centre mid and i think he's a superb player who can fill any of those positions. He would offer technical ability at the back which would be needed to suit the style of play.

In the middle i went for Upson because of his pace and good defensive play. He's also decent technically so shouldn't have to much of a problem fitting into the system. He also reads the game very well. Ehiogu for me is the less mobile of the two but i needed a player in these who has immense physical pressence and this is something i think he offers aswell as good basic defensive qualities.

In the centre of midfield i went for Malbranques industry and creative flair with Davis' box to box ball winning work to offer me the right mix. I wouldn't tie either of them down to a specific role though, i'd want them to share responsibilities and make there own decisions on weather or not both should go and attack at the same time. On the right side of midfield i went for Davies as he's a box to box player with pace who can score and create goals. His work rate is also very good, on the left i went for the vision and technicall ability of Fernandes. He's a player i rate and one i think can still improve. Technically he is very good, a good passer and a good crosser of the ball with good vision aswell. He is also a danger from set peices.

Upfront i didn't go for the natural goalscorer. It was close between Keane and Phillips, but i went for Keane due to him being a better player. Beattie was in with a shout aswell but i wanted Kanoute's technical ability, also his ability to win headers and hold the ball up and offer physical pressence.

I like Smertin.

I didn't think of Mendieta. I don't like Okocha's style of play but he's a good player.

Not like Cheesie to be abusive?

Why change your avator Cheesie? I kind of liked the other one.

He does it to try and make people think he is someone else. I nearly fell for it earlier when he adopted the same atavar as Dom, and he expressed a keen intrest in EFC.

I slagged him so now he is trying me.
