Let's try an Aggressive XI. Don't think it's going to win, but worth a try:

RD: Sergio Ramos
CD: Walter Samuel
CD: John Terry
LD: Ashley Cole
DM: Marc Van Bommel
DM: Gennaro Gattuso
RAM: Franck Ribery
CAM: Steven Gerrard
LAM: Carlos Tevez
S: Wayne Rooney

No, you hate milivella's rules. ;) Seedorf is 50-75% fit as MC-DM, so
he should be reasonably allowed in that position.

Agreed. Maybe they look at his face and think that he hasn't been
happy in any of those countries (?!).

Your scores 5.50 6.40
+ Seedorf 0.80 1.00
+ Mascherano 0.65 0.75
- Messi 0.67 0.70
= 6.10 7.45

Bwaaargh! Well, it was a bit of a risky move. I wonder who would have been a
good fit here. Kuyt? Oh sh... Balotelli!

Anyway, third place in the skill*greatness ranking is not bad.

The problem with this game is that we soon realized that the best way to get
high scores was to load the team with superstars, who tend to have high
scores in most skills.

An interesting variant would be to use as the skill score for each player
the difference between that skill and the average of all the player's
skills.

So, for example, say that Xavi is:

Passing: 100
Dribbling: 80
Technique: 90
-------------
Average: 90

Then his passing score would be 10, his dribbling score would be -10, and
his technique score would be zero.

Consider instead Denilson (the 1998 WC one, can't remember where he plays
now)

Passing: 20
Technique: 40
Dribbling: 90
-------------
Average: 50

He would have a dribbling score of +40
