interesting that nobody has mentioned any GK. Villa up front knocking in goals doesn’t mean a thing if your team constantly lets the opposition strike back. for that money, i’d purchase the one and only Buffon. he single-handedly can save a game for both club and country. he turns ties into wins with his fantastic saves that are truly remarkable to watch. theres no one more apt to build a team around than him (not Van Der Sar, Casillas, Cech)

Spot on, even before reading the article I knew it would be David Villa. My second consideration would be Amauri, who’s been having a stellar season.
Also the invaluable play making of Iniesta for Barcelona.

David Beckham.

I just want to sell jerseys.

I’m not in the results business. I’m in the money business.

Kun Aguero perhaps?

Ide go with a midfielder, essian seems like the obvious choice but as hes already been taken id go with fabergas for the youth factor.

Well it depends on how you want to make the team. Do you want it to succeed instantly in the first season or do you want it to start succeeding in 5 seasons?
If it was a team that would succeed instantly in the first season then I would build the team around Xavi, because there is no greater playmaker than him.
If it was a team that would start succeed in a few years I would build it around Sergio Busquets who will eventually become one of the greatest defensive midfielder in a 4-1-3-2 formation.
But what I’d really do with a new team is to create one of the best youth academy and scouting system in the world.
I’d also start building from the defense before the midfield and attack.
