All-time Premier League Teams

A simple exercise to try to solve the argument as to just who makes the Premier League all-time best team.

To narrow the field somewhat I placed the following criteria

* Hall of Fame inductees are automatic candidates.
* Players have to of player over 200 Premier League games to be considered
* P.Evra, N.Vidic and M.Desailly only exceptions to this.

All I want you to do is pick 2 keepers, 5 defenders, 6 midfielders and 5 forwards from the following lists. Try not to be biased.

Keepers

James,Schwarzer,Freidal,Given,Cech,Seaman,Van der Saar and Schmeichal

Defenders

S.Campbell,R.Ferdinand,Adams,Carragher,Southgate,G.Neville,P.Neville,Dixon,Irwin,Terry,Le Saux,Hyypia,G.Kelly,S.Watson,A.Cole,Bridge,Keown,Petrescu,Harte,Gallas,Pallister,Staunton,O'Shea,Evra,Vidic,Desailly

Midfielders

Giggs,Speed,Scholes,Beckham.Keane,Pires,Ginola,C.Ronaldo,Lampard,Butt,Barry,Solano,Vieira,Duff,McAllister,T.Sinclair,Gerrard,Ince,Fabregas,Wright-Philips,Kewell,R.Lee,Redknapp,J.Cole

Forwards

Cantona,Shearer,Henry,Zola,Bergkamp,M.Hughes,A.Cole,K.Campbell,K.Phillips,Sheringham,Ferdinand,Yorke,Fowler,Anelka,R.Keane,Owen,Drogba,Gudjohnson,Solskjaer,Saha,Le Tissier,Kanu,Ferguson,Hasselbaink,van Nistelrooy,Rooney

My personal selections were
Schmeichal and Van der Saar as keepers
Campbell, Ferdinand, Carragher, Irwin and G.Neville as defenders
Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, Keane, Vieira and Gerrard as midfielders
Shearer,Henry,Cantona,Rooney and Owen as forwards
