If you could clone one player to play all eleven positions on the pitch, who would it be?

Bastian Schweinsteiger just because if i am going to hear someones name repeatedly as they pass the ball it might as well be the coolest one ive heard.

Yaya Toure, he's a complete player and an absolute force on the pitch.

Gerrard in his prime. The guy was not only one of the best in the world but has played DM, CM, AM, RM, LM, SS, and RB at some point.

the39thpotato · 3 months

Bale can finish and he used to be a defender, albeit an attacking one. Plus he's reasonably big so could stand up to the rigours of defending.

If there's anything that the all-Jonah Lomu team in World Championship Rugby taught me it's that a team full of strength and speed is unbeatable...

I've seen John o'Shea play in pretty much every position, including in goal but it's a silly question.

Zidane

Johan Cruijff is the one and only correct answer.

lifeunistudent · 3 months

I'd say Scott Parker but the problem with that is if you have 12 Scott Parkers (XI+the manager), it's not a football team but a squad of the RAF.

I've heard that Neuer said he reckons he could play as a striker for a third division side or something, so that would be interesting. I have no idea how he'd do in midfield or as a defender, but if he's not scoring, at least there'd be a pretty good keeper back there.

I'd say Gerard Piqué. Support in both defense and offense, and a very good height for a keeper.

devineman · 3 months

James Milner has played every outfield position in his career so far.

When he played for Villa, he played CB and marked Drogba out of the game!

sisyphus · 3 months

A healthy Michael Essien. He's already played midfield and defense for Chelsea, and he's scored some amazing goals that make me think he could acquit himself well up front if asked to as well.

any Liverpool fan will give you the same answer: a team of Carraghers, a team of Carraghers!

Wayne Rooney I reckon would be a hard one to beat. He will get goals, loves coming deep for the ball, I've seen him play rubbish but he always works hard and I have it on good authority he is a decent keeper. The number of stupid red cards might hurt the team tho.

Xavi could be another. The other team would never get a touch of the ball. doubt there would be many goals tho.

baboonboy · 3 months

Van Bommel.... I think the other team would be too scared to get on the pitch..

I think a Balotelli 11 vs a Balotelli 11 would be pretty sweet. I can see both Balotelli keepers just not giving a fuck.

It would be amusing to see a team a Dirk Kuyt's. Even though they're not technically gifted, they would run around all over the place and make it hell for the opposition.

Wayne Rooney, just as passionate as he is talented. Though wouldn't finish many games with 11

Edwin Van Der Sar. It was said he was the best attacker in the dutch squad for some time.

Dani Alves has shown himself to be very capable going forward, moreso in making assists, but he's also capable of finishing decently enough, and is definitely good in defense, as he's gotten the upper hand against Ronaldo multiple times this past year.

Roberto Carlos started as a forward, and was asked to play in the midfield by an early coach(he preferred to play in the back). So really could only see him having difficulties in goalkeeping.

Guido_John · 3 months

Phillipp Lahm would be good everywhere except for in Goal. I like the all Xavi idea too. May be Sergio Ramos? He's pretty athletic and can get forward and work at centerback as well. 11 Messis would be pretty funny.

FIELD ALL THE DEMBAS!

DialSquare · 3 months

There's no need to over-think it, the correct answer would still be Lionel Messi. The defense wouldn't be that good but it's still 11 (well 10 outfield) Messis for the other team to defend against. Right now no side in the world can seem to defend against just the one.

That said, Robin van Persie is actually a decent enough keeper, for what it's worth, so he could play that position along with the outfield ones fairly well.

Assumer · 3 months

I've always said a team of 11 Joel Lindperes would go beast mode on anyone.

I would also accept 11 Mike Magees.

Definitely Mesut Ozil. The man can orchestrate both defense and offense seamlessly.

Clint Dempsey for America. I'm not particularly patriotic/excited for American soccer but when Dempsey plays for the USMNT, he turns into a machine. like Dirk Kuyt's play-for-a-week engine with Roy Keane's i-had-nails-for-breakfast-without-milk attitude

Phil Jones! He's played defender and midfield for us already and can score a few too. Bit injury prone though, but if that happens we can just sub on a 12th Jones-clone.
