B looks like a contender for the second place.

Maybe it should be a team thing. Pick an 11-player team by letter. In that case, M might be in trouble to hold onto first place, because it's ridiculously stacked with forwards, but I can't really think of a stand-out Goalkeeper with M. They got some legendary defenders tho. Maldini and Materazzi come to mind. But with a front three of Maradona, Messi and Mbappe (third spot is up for grabs, can be Müller, or di Maria for the Argentina synergy) I'm not sure you need a legendary goalkeeper 
Both B and C have excellence across the field. R seems to have a defense problem. Rüdiger doesn't seem like he's going to cut it.

Mane? Luxury problem detected ^-^

The offensive lineup for M (someone like Mane isn't even in contention, imo), as well as defense (Mätthaus, Maldini, Marcelo all immediately spring to mind) are broken, but there are weaknesses. Gonna try to make a full lineup of 3-5-2 or 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 and see how stuff stacks up. So far I'm leaning M B C R as the top 4 at least, but I'm sure there are other contenders.

Just looking for some German players for your lineups: Sepp Maier Per Mertesacker Andi Möller Thomas Müller Lothar Matthäus
Michael Ballack Franz Beckenbauer Oliver Bierhoff Jerome Boateng in his 2014 form Guido Buchwald

Also, Möller and Mertesacker? Setting the bar quite low there

M is like, Messi Maradona Modric Matthaus Marcelo Maldini Mbappe/Müller (gerd).. there's a goalie missing and two/three midfielders/defenders, but the team basically contains two of the top 3-4 players ever, and every other player on the list has arguably peaked as number one in their particular position.
Even going with a macherano level dm and a relatively mediocre gk (before my time but sepp maier seems like a solid pick) I still think this is a winner.

Do you guys reckon Haaland/Mbappe will eclipse the CR7/Messi rivalry?
|
Eclipse? No. Match? Maybe close...but I read somewhere Haaland will need to score 46 goals/year until he's 38 yo to match Ronaldo's total. A lot can happen before then.

Unlikely, but there's a possibility. I dunno if they're likely to end up in rival clubs though. I don't picture Mbappe going to England, could see both be in Spain at the same time though. But then maybe with RM getting both. xD
And yea, injuries.

contemporary keepers you got marchesin, martinez, mendy as 3 low budget candidates.

I was trying to remember Makelele! He's totally on the team.
|
Stanley Matthews should be in the equation
|
Alright I think I have a competitive and balanced all time team for C.
GK: Iker Casillas RB: Cafu CB: Fabio Cannavaro CB: Alessando Costacurta LB: Antonio Cabrini M: Mario Coluna M: Fyodor Cherenkov M: Bobby Charlton RF: Jans Ceulemans CF: Johan Cruyff LF: Zoltan Czibor
The hardest to select was the goalkeeper. Rogerio Ceni and Jose Luis Chilavert missed out.

Congrats Argentina, crazy final

This should get Ozil some good PR... not.

Both Müllers have insane stats but offense is not the problem of team M anyway ^^ Yeah scratch Möller. Mertesacker wasn't bad at all though.
