Maybe Buffon for keeper actually

I was watching Roger Miller in some replay the other day and the man was actually more then decent.

Get him in.

Neville Southall or Buffon for goal.

Get Milner in early.

players over 40?

milla?

modern times is a bit of a jip though. Matthew's is the ultimate over 40 player.

zanetti is another player.

not sure about cafu?

Strachan was one for sure.

Essam El Hadary travelled with the Egypt squad to Russia 2018 at 45 years of age.

Played the final group game and even saved a penalty.

Pretty sure Russia themselves had an outfield player who was 39. Might even have been the captain. Wonder if he's still playing.
