I'll do one soon

I can see quite good conversation going on here, and i must admit that i can't say that my knowledge on tactics and history is as profound as yours but, regarding the thread question, ill try to make up a team that i find to be made up of good players (that i have seen live, wont rely on youtube videos to provide me info on other players such as kahn or buffon at prime) that could possibly change into different formations, tactics, and work in several ways to achieve victory, basically an assembly of simply who i consider the most "capable" players i have seen in a "live" or "present" way.

Casillas
Alves Puyol Vidic Abidal
Xavi Busquets Iniesta
Messi Eto'o Ronaldinho

I can't really say that i have watched quite enough of last generation's ( late 1990's - 2000's) players in their prime to name some other names. My list might cause some brows to raise considering that they are mostly "atm" players, and that a big majority are from barcelona, but that comes from the fact that my guidelines guided me to choose so.

Some players in the bench would be...

Manuel Neuer, Didier Drogba, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philip Lahm, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Steven Gerrard, and a couple more.

You can probably express what ever tactical idea that you want with these players, and they are some of the best that i've actually managed to properly analyze in my experience timeline.
