Probably Ronaldinho should be there somehow (for Nedved?)
Not much to disagree with at the back. Personally, I'd have Gerrard over Pirlo, Henry instead of fat Ronaldo and greasy Ronaldo over Nedved.
Is there anyone more overrated? I doubt he'd be on any non-PL follower's list.
would i say henry is a better player than figo or zidane at their pecks? no. but over the past 10 years he has been collectible better than figo and zidane's 6 years of playing in that time.

Won only domestically or playing a bit part for others (Zidane for the national team and a bunch of better players in Barcelona). Mostly bottled in Europe and was also never anything special for France. Meh.
That you chose him over Figo, I can understand, but over Zidane is baffling.

he did get arsenal to a cl final which they could've won minus a mad german. i only pick henry ahead of zidane because he stopped playing in 06. henry was at his best in the 00s, zidane while still good in his 6 years wasn't as good as late 90s zidane imo. there's no question who the better player is but in this team you have to give it to henry.
10 years is a long time in football though, so this sort of team is always going to be hard to pick.
