B16Rover Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Inspired by the sister forum, I thought we were also due a thread on migrants activity in Blackburn. On that basis, the rules are below: Blackburn Rovers best 11, but you can only have 1 player from each country. E.g. no Neil and Emerton! I have taken inspiration from Big Val and gone for a 5-2-3. Showing my generation, and putting some faith in the engine of some players.. Raya (ESP) Emerton (AUS) Samba (CON) Nelson (NZL) Givet (FRA) MGP (NOR) Tugay (TUR) Jermaine Jones (USA) Duff (ROI) Shearer (ENG) Bellamy (WAL) As a bonus round, I'd also like to see the worst XI 2 Quote

LeftWinger Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago A few of these are possibly harsh, but it's a challenge when you have restrictions on nationality. Wahlstedt Miller Duffy Daily De Neve Petrovic Goulon Etuhu Chris Brown Rigters Edinho 2 Quote

TheKitGuy Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Friedel (USA) Emerton (AUS) Samba (CON) Hendry (SCO) Zurab (KAZ) Tugay (TUR) Nzonzi (FRA) Duff (ROI) Bellamy (WAL) Pedersen (NOR) Shearer (ENG) Midfield a bit slow but could see Nzonzi and Tugay bouncing off each other. Quote
Backroom Mike E Posted 1 hour ago Backroom Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Friedel (USA) Berg (NOR) Samba (CON) Nelsen (NZ) Olsson (SWE) Emerton (AUS) Tugay (TUR) Nzonzi (FRA) Duff (ROI) McCarthy (SA) Santa Cruz (PAR) I chose this because I feel like it’s the best available players in each position, given the restrictions. Some are undeniable (Friedel), some are debatable (Pedersen vs Duff, Olsson vs Givet) where nationality then restricts others (Pedersen vs Berg? Nzonzi vs Givet?), and some are made obvious by lack of alternative (Emerton is the only quality foreign player I can recall who was a suitable RW). A really interesting one, great idea. Edit: Occurred to me that I could pull Emerton back slightly and turn that into a back five and give Duff more room to roam behind the strikers. Edited 1 hour ago by Mike E Quote
