If you could pick 1 player from each PL team who would you choose.

You need to choose so you can make a possible team, so no just picking the best striker from each team. Ideally 2 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 6 midfielders & 4 strikers.

Here's my squad.

Arsenal - Bacary Sagna
Aston Villa - Darren Bent
Blackburn Rovers - Christopher Samba
Bolton Wanderers - Gary Cahill
Chelsea - Michael Essien
Everton - Tim Howard
Fulham - Bobby Zamora
Liverpool - Steven Gerrard
Manchester City - Carlos Tevez
Manchester United - Nemanja Vidic
Newcastle United - Steven Taylor
Norwich City - Zak Whitbread
Queens Park Rangers - Adel Taarabt
Stoke City - Robert Huth
Sunderland - Craig Gordon
Swansea City - Steven Caulker
Tottenham Hotspur - Gareth Bale
West Bromwich Albion - Peter Odemwingie
Wigan Athletic - Charles N'Zogbia
Wolverhampton Wanderers - Ryan Jarvis

My starting 11 would be a 3-5-2 with Howard, Sagna, Samba, Cahill, Vidic, Bale, Essien, Gerrard, N'Zogbia, Bent & Tevez.
 
Arsenal - Bacary Sagna
Aston Villa - Marc Albrighton

I think if you were picking the best 20 players in the PL, you'd struggle to find one at WBA, Wolves, Wigan, Norwich, QPR, Swansea, Newcastle, Blackburn or even Fulham, Sunderland, Villa, Bolton, Stoke and perhaps, Everton.

You'd pick a squad from the top six

Last season- vdS, Cech, Sagna, Ivanovic, Evra, A,Cole, Vidic, Terry, Kompany, Bale, Nasri, vdVaart, Toure, Modric, Rooney, Nani, Silva, van Persie, Tevez, Hernandez with no place for Malouda, Lampard, Drogba, Essien, Fabregas, Gerrard, Suarez, Valencia, Berbatov, Vermaelen, de Jong, Hart, Reina, before you look at players from the lesser clubs like the two Cahills.

I know it's only a bit of fun but there's a lot of dross out there.

Parker won writer's player of the year whilst playing for the worst team in the Premiership <ok> Thanks for explaining the theory that the teams that finish higher will tend to have better players, I must admit I'm still struggling to get my head around it.

I'm not saying you could make a team that would win the Prem with it but I think you could still make a strong 11 and I think my 11 of Howard, Sagna, Samba, Cahill, Vidic, Bale, Essien, Gerrard, N'Zogbia, Bent & Tevez isn't bad at all.

It's a monopoly of the better players, though.

No Shilton at Leicester or Le Tissier at Southampton, as in times gone by.

I'm not trying to rain on Croatia's parade; I'm just saying it's hard to find players you'd want in your squad from certain clubs.

That's nothing to do with what you're attempting to say though. In the last 6 months 2 top 6 clubs have spent around £90mill on 4 players from outside the top 6. There ARE top players at lower clubs.

OK, not wishing to be branded as a stick in the mud and in an effort to enter into the spirit of the thread, here's my team:

Howard (Everton), Sagna (Arsenal), Enrique (Newcastle), Kompany (Man City) Terry (Chelsea), Modric (Spurs), Gerrard (Liverpool), N'Zogbia (Wigan), Taarabt (QPR), Bent (Aston Villa), Rooney (Man Utd) Subs: Robinson (Blackburn), G.Cahill (Bolton), Hangeland (Fulham), Cattermole (Sunderland), Etherington (Stoke), Sinclair (Swansea), Hoolahan (Norwich), Doyle (Wolves), Odemwingie (WBA)

I'd start Hoolahan instead of Taarabt to be honest.
