Picking a best XI from those players is therefore really tough. What formation do you use for a start? I’ve gone for a 4-3-1-2 formation, but the players are also there for the team’s current 4-2-3-1, or 4-4-2, or 4-3-3 or even a midfield diamond.
And how do you choose between so many outstanding attacking talents?
Anyway here’s my team and feel free to post yours on X...
Fans’ select XIs will be published later this week.

9. NUMBER 10: LEE TOMLIN
A genius and an artist. Scored many goals and created many others. Way out ahead of any other player for this role. Honourable mention: Sammie Szmodics. Photo: david lowndes

10. STRIKER: IVAN TONEY
He had it all. Power, skill, finishing ability, aerial strength and a great on and off-field leader. Now at Premier League Brentford. Honourable mention: Craig Mackail-Smith. Photo: Joe Dent

11. STRIKER: DWIGHT GAYLE
He didn’t play for Posh for long, but there surely hasn’t been a better, technically outstanding finisher in the club’s history? Remember he only played for Posh at Championship level. Now at Stoke City. Honourable mentions: Aaron Mclean, Britt Assombalonga. Photo: david lowndes

12. THE SUBS
I allowed myself 5 so...Craig Mackail-Smith, George Boyd (pictured), Josef Bursik, Charlie Lee and Ephron Mason-Clark. Photo: david lowndes
