Just for fun since it's all doom and gloom and international football these days.
Try naming the best XI you can in a category of your choice with no more than 1 player of any particular surname length. Spaces don't count...
Here's my Arsenal XI from the Wenger era, 4-3-1-2 formation:
-------------------------------------------Lehmann (7)-------------------------------
Oxlade Chamberlain (17) - Mertesacker (11) - Song (4) - Winterburn (10)
-----------------------Vieira (6) - Edu (3) - Van Bronckhorst (14)---------------
------------------------------------------Fabregas (8)--------------------------------
-----------------------------------Van Persie (9) - Henry (5)-----------------------

Well you have to. The reasonable minimum you could have is
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
Except Chelsea and whoever else had Ba

Yeah it's just funny seeing the contrast being genuine world class players and spotty academy players with double-barreled surnames

I was actually disappointed Reine-Adelaide and Maitland-Niles have the same number of letters.

I had noticed that, but surely you must have Santos is a crap team. Straight swap for Luzhny.

That lot are bad enough in their natural positions, no need to play them out of position

Surely Pereira Neves is a shoe-in at CM? 4-4-2 is an outdated formation anyway, get rid of Danielvicious and go 3 in the middle. Get to hoard even more mediocre possession that way.
