EPL Dream Team Challenge

A couple of months ago @MarrsioFootball posted on his website, Left Back In The Changing Room, a challenge in which you had to pick a complete side, using one player from each country or club. For instance, if you used Clint Dempsey, you could not use any other American player or player from Fulham. Here is the post in full: http://leftbackinthechangingroom.blogspot.com/2010/12/challenge.html

Over the holidays, to pass the 7 hour car drive from my brother’s to my parents, we came up with a similar challenge: pick a 20 man squad using only one player from each team in the Premier League for 2010-11 season. The Big Four are easy to come up with selections, but hard to narrow it down to one player. However I had to actually do some research on WBA, Wigan, Stoke and some of the “smaller clubs”.

Here is what I came up with:

Schwarzer	Fulham	GK
Young	Villa	D
Vidic	United	D
Mancienne	Wolves	D
Cole	Chelsea	D
Bale	Spurs	M
Parker	West Ham	M
Gerrard	Liverpool	M
Nasri	Arsenal	M
Odemwingie	WBA	F
Welbeck	Sunderland	F
Foster	Birmingham	GK
Kompany	Manchester City	D
Coleman	Everton	D
Pedersen	Blackburn	M
Adam	Blackpool	M
Holden	Bolton	M
Tuncay	Stoke	F
Carroll	Newcastle	F
Rodallega	Wigan	F

So let me know what you come up with.

Note: I did not get this up before the opening and closing of the transfer window, so Carroll doesn’t work. Would probably have to replace him with Ben Arfa or God forbid, Joey Barton. Also Tuncay is on his way out so I would have to replace him, but I don’t know any other players on Stoke.
