Ronaldo, Henry, Gerrard: Ultimate Premier League XI - including four current stars

Who makes it into the ultimate Premier League combined XI?

It’s a tough and ever-evolving question. England’s top-flight has seen vast amounts of trail blazing talent over the past 30 years and with the quality of football arguably at an all time high, we need to start considering where the league’s modern representatives rank amongst the pantheon of the greats.

A player like Trent Alexander-Arnold, whilst young, has revolutionised his position and is putting up numbers that even the best midfielders can’t compete with.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane and Kevin De Bruyne pose similar questions within their own roles. Have they, or will they soon, surpass the likes of Alan Shearer and Frank Lampard?

It’s a tough riddle. One that every football fan and his dog will have a robust opinion upon, but regardless, we’ve decided to stick our neck on the line and tackle the problem head on.

Check out who we believe make the top XI…

It was a toss up between Cech and Schmeichel, and, whilst many would opt for the Man Utd legend because he was simply incredible at times, we’re giving Cech the nod for his longevity and consistency.

Let’s be real, there wasn’t much in it in terms of ability anyway. Not to mention that Cech holds the record for the most clean sheets out of any keeper in the competition’s history. That’s got to count for something here.

Right, hear us out. We are fully aware that we just gave Cech the edge over Schmeichel based off his longevity and Alexander-Arnold is still only 23.

But do you honestly think Gary Neville is a better player? Because that’s who would be occupying this slot otherwise.

Truth be told, right-back is the one position the Premier League can’t boast about having had any world class players in at
