No Mata or infact any players from the European Champions and current 3rd best side in the country beggars belief. Stevie Me still dining out on a good pass once a game i see in place of players like Ramieres, Wilshire and Felaini. Love the way they've shoe horned in the Suarez, Rooney and RVP. Rooney has been good but in the shadow of RVP this season and nowhere near as effective in the hole as opposed to Mata. Trying to strike a balance between form and overall ability I'd go with something like Cech Ivan Kompany Vidic Baines Wilshire Fellaini Suarez Mata Bale RVP United a little under represented given they are top of the league but somehow United seem more about the team ethic than individuals to me, save for their forwards and you can't pick em all.
I don't get where the idea that Wilshere is one of the best midfielders in the league comes from, because he certainly isn't in any great form. In 2/3 years he'll probably be up there but right now?

Iniesta (ballon d'or nominee), Xavi, Busquets, Alonso, Schweinsteiger, Pirlo, Vidal. Carrick isn't fit to wipe their arses.
