He's still a Chelsea player!

Can he play against them if athleti get Chelsea next round?

I usually find it difficult to pick a team from all world leagues as it can become tedious but here is mine:

Courtois(counted as A. Madrid)
Maggio T. Silva Subotic Azpilicueta
Pirlo Yaya Toure Schweinsteiger
Messi Suarez Ronaldo

Sorry, I cannot for the life of me think why I thought it was a world cup 11.

Bit of a brain fart, there.

Lot of people going for Kolo Toure in Cm with Kompany behind him. Would swap them around

True KLS, but the world XI (in this case) is being picked on current form. Courtois has been in form for Athletico Madrid and not Chelsea. He may still be a chelsea player but for this debate I think it is fair to put him in.

Top 20? I dunno.

Reading some of the comments, I'm counting Courtois as Atletico in my team. If it wasn't him, I'd put Lloris or De Gea in goal.

He's still a quality player
Just because Mourinho favours the more industrious type of player, fans like Say My Name have jumped on the "Mata isnt a good player haha he should be nowhere near a World XI" bandwagon. Sad really. Pathetic.

He is a quality player i'm not arguing that. Just I think I could name 20 comparably good or better attackers.

posted on 8/4/14

Excluding strikers makes it harder of course.

posted on 8/4/14

Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Suarez, Hazard, Neymar, Ozil, Silva, Robben, Ribery, Di Maria.

There are 11, some of whom may be debatable but whatever.

Mata is brilliant but he isn't alone.

posted on 8/4/14

Yeah I fully agree. Same can be said of Ozil. Madrid wanted to keep Di Maria ahead of him, despite Ozil being thr better player, and his workrate is one of the key reasons why. Ozil's drop in form hasn't all of a sudden stopped him being one of the top players in world football, and you could swap him for Mata in that team if you wanted.

Ok, so Mourinho prefers the Brazilian Henderson over a world class attacking midfielder, doesn't mean he is better - Fergie preferred Saha to RVN and Hernandez and Welbeck to Berba because they were better fits for the team.

TCW, whether that is the case or not, it doesn't make any difference to picking a best 11 from different teams does it?

You could have five better players that are all strikers but one would have to be left out.
