The players are so good the experimental 3-2-3-2 line up would not cause any issues.
Hopefully none of the rules have been breached
Banks
Moore Beckenbauer Maldini
Zidane Platini
Messi Jairzinho Cruyff
Pele Muller

Should've picked Cascarino as he'd lie about his nationality to get in any team!!!

Ooh, I like this.
Very tough given the restrictions but I think I've done it. we'll be setting up in a 4-3-3.
Oliver Kahn
Cafu
Kompany
Van Dijk
Maldini
Roy Keane
Gascoigne
Figo
Messi
Drogba
Mbappe
There are eleven different nationalities there and I don't think any of them have played for the same team. I'm probably missing something very obvious though.

no mention of Ashley Barnes?
many years ago in the WSU our neighbour asked him the finest players in the world. Ash was second (he was only 7) and quickly scored 2 goals to prove the point

Yep, there are the obvious mistakes!
Back to the drawing board.

Right, final effort before bed.
I'm swapping out Cafu and Figo and bringing in Zico and Vicente. I'm changing to a 3-1-3-3 formation, banking on the attacking talent to score a shed load and relying on the (magnificent)back three to do their best.
Kahn
Maldini
Kompany
Van Dijk
Roy Keane
Gascoigne
Vicente
Zico
Messi
Drogba
Mbappe
If need be Keane can drop into defence to make a back four but that's a last resort. We're going to out attack any opposition we face. Unless I've made n error again...

Not really.
I appreciate we are in lockdown but you've replaced the very arty "name your best ever side and defend it" with the very fact-based "name a team that's never played for the same club" which you can do with a few Google searches if you need to.
When I'm chatting to my mates in the pub about football or, currently, whatsapping or chatting on Zoom, it's the merits of players we'd be interested in, not where they played.
I want to compare Cruyff's turns against Roy Keane's violence against Iniesta's brilliance against Beckham's free kicks. In this I can't.
I dont mind the concept of this thread, but I also wouldnt mind yours. Make another thread with "best" or "favorite" eleven and no restrictions?
