Gascoigne
Beardsley
Keane

If I was to pick Beardsley it would be up front rather than one of a two in central midfield.

 

[Tony Towner]

Can we have different votes for numbers 9 and 10 so that they'll be a Beardsley to a Lineker and a Sherringham to a Shearer please?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I was just going to go two from six again...happy to go with whatever the majority want (or at least the majority of whoever pipes up in the next hour or so before I do the midfield results)

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Keane
Souness
Lampard
Scholes
Gerrard
Gascoigne

 

[Tredman]

Agree with TT, having shearer and bully up front wouldn't make much sense.

 

[Trips]

I'd say stick with 2 from 6. If people want Shearer and Sheringham, for example, pick them as 1 & 2. Some people may want to go with Shearer and Owen, but neither are them are a '10'

 

[darlowolf64]

Yeah, #9 vote then #10

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, #9 vote then #10

Other way round if we do it that way. You have to make the bullets before you decide who's firing them

My concern really is people will pick someone in the wrong spot and then argue the toss about it, ain't nobody got time for that.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Seems a bit of a faff really.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Then vote for your top three pair?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Then vote for your top three pair?

Nah, that'd be utter chaos to work out at the end :icon_lol:

 

[Langers]

Just pick 6 as normal FFS :icon_lol:

 

[Jinky]

Just pick 6 as normal FFS :icon_lol:

Indeed. Why is everyone tying to overcomplicate it?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'd say stick with 2 from 6. If people want Shearer and Sheringham, for example, pick them as 1 & 2. Some people may want to go with Shearer and Owen, but neither are them are a '10'

I'm going to say this is the most persuasive argument and we'll go with that. There are loads of strike partnerships that haven't had a support striker or whatever you want to call them.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Paul Scholes - 122
Roy Keane - 113
Paul Gascoigne - 95
Frank Lampard - 68
Steven Gerrard - 55
Bryan Robson - 36
Graeme Souness - 27
Michael Carrick - 13
Colin Bell - 12
Glenn Hoddle - 9
Mike Bailey - 8
Gary Speed - 6
Dele Alli - 5
Alan Ball - 5
Liam Brady - 4
Peter Beardsley - 4
Matt Le Tissier - 4
Alan Hudson - 2
Eric Dier - 1
Scott Parker - 1

So we have England's back four from 2006, and Man Utd's midfield from 1999...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

On to the strikers. Six picks, two go through. Up to you if you want to pick a partnership that's viable.
