Has your love affair with Football Manager kept you up until the wee small hours once more? Are the dogs getting more of a walk than usual? Is FIFA taking a battering?

Rules so far have included picking an ultimate eleven of players of different nationalities and picking a team from players that had not played for the same club.

And this weekend’s effort goes deeper – a team of past and present Premier League superstars, none of whom have ever played for the same club or are from the same nation – tricky? You better believe it.

And Carragher, who was moulded into a centre-half for the majority of his sparkling career but also played a lot of football at full-back, chose Sheffield Wednesday icon Roland Nilsson on the right side of defence.

Can you do better?
