c1982 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 All this talk of underrated players/ best players etc, has given me a flashback of my childhood where they used to have fantasy teams on teletext every Sunday. I once had my team on in the early 90s... it was 'Underrated XI' and I remember I had Hinchcliffe and Parkinson in there (it wasn't purely made up of EFC players!) You could have an XI for anything e.g. Best Prem XI or something like Ugly XI... I think it could make for an interesting/potentially funny thread. I'll start with a pretty uncreative one but something to get us started...

Zoo Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Zoo's Banned 5-a-side team: Mark Bosnich (Drug abuser). Rio Ferdinand (Drug abuser). John Terry (Racist). Adrian Mutu (Drug abuser). Luis Suarez (What hasn't he done?). marcus jones and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I participated on something like this years back, where someone had an idea to create a 'big nose XI' and you'd see names like Rush, Phil Thompson, Le Tissier and Ruud Gullit for example. After a while, it was too awkward to complete as they couldn't find enough big nosed players to finalize their ideas. in actual fact, on the back of the recent halloween theme XI, you could feasibly create one here with 'players that resemble halloween, or are a fucking horror to look at, or however you want to classify it as. Names such as Martin Keown, Dirk Kuyt and Luke Chadwick for example, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikica Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) First off, this is just a bit of fun. I have plenty of compassion for those with deformities, those who suffer from smoking and anyone on these teams who is dead now (Socrates) or retired. Some players oot of position but it's just a giggle. Weirdest looking head XI ---------------- Ogrizovic----------- Reiziger Kompany Pepe---A Berezutski -------------Modric ---Rooney------------- --Gervinho-- Ronaldinho ---Ribery -------------------Tevez-------------------- Some Subs: Rio (duck face) Ramos (neigh, neigh) Bale (Planet of the Apes looking fucker) Davie Dodds (doesn't make the starting team because of lesser ability, because his head more than qualifies) Beardsley Pantilimon Smokers XI Coentrao at RB to accommodate both he and Cole, Maradona as false 9 -------------------------------------Buffon--------------------------------- --------Coentrao---------Jackie Charlton----Nesta -----------A Cole ---------------------Gerson--- Zidane---Socrates-------------------- --------------------Platini------Maradona------Cruyff---------- Subs: Matthews Rooney Wilshere Berbatov Vialli Barthez Controversy with Rudolph/hated by Rudolph XI – old school 235 formation ----------------------------------------------Bosnich-------------------------------- ----------------------------------------Stam-----------Heinze--------------------------------- ------------------------------ -Keane --Gerrard---Hargreaves---------------- --------Beckham-----Van Nistelrooy ----Inzaghi------Tevez---------Shelvey------------------ Subs: Djemba... ...Djemba Magnier McManus Martin Edwards Victoria Beckham If there's an injury crisis then clone Gerrard seeing as his mental fanboys think he can play every position on the park to all-time great standard.

Dalziel Kane Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 That was a very interesting list. I wouldn't normally do a silly face animation, but in any event Only to add, I wasn't aware Socrates was deceased and Steve Ogrizovic looked perfectly normal, but to each their own.

Guest Nikica Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 As I say, it was just for a laugh. Strange to pick out Ogrizovic - I'd have thought that Modric would have been the guy in that team with the most normal looking head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nikica Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Under-rated Premier League XI: ------------------de Gea----------------- Coleman-Mertesacker-Evans-Clyne Larsson--Arteta---Delph--Pilkington -----------Giroud-------Remy----------- Subs: Krul, Vlaar, Azpilicueta, Schneiderlin, Gibson, Agbonlahor, Andy Carroll Nice team, agree with many. I'd try and get Weimann and Sessegnon in there too I think. Actually, in terms of the latter, West Brom have a few underrated players imo.
