The Dirty XI

I decided to create a fantasy football team comprising of quality players from the English Premer League with a dirty or unsporting attitude towards the game. Actually I got the inspiration after watching some players in the Premier League resorting to all sorts of possible tricks to gain advantage, but never being picked up or punished for these - the star of the show probably is Christiano Ronaldo (Manchester United). As of now, I am still undecided about some positions, and any help in completing the team is welcome.

So, here goes the list (formation 4-4-2, for now) -

Goal: Jens Lehman (Arsenal, a complete lunatic)

Defense: Lucas Neil (Blackburn Rovers), Ben Thatcher (Manchester City, almost a killer), ?, ?

Midfield: Morten Gamst Pedersen (Blackburn Rovers, who can forget his palmed goal against Newcastle last season), Christiano Ronaldo (Manchester United, Academy Award winner for Best Actor category for the past few seasons), Arjen Robben (Chelsea - best supporting actor), and Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal, unquestionably talented, but...)

Strikers: El Haj Diouf (Bolton, perhaps the dirtiest scum in football), Didier Drogba (Chelsea, "sometimes I dive, sometimes I don't" - his (in)famous quote)

Manager: Arsene Wenger (Arsenal, whinging is his forte)

Substitiues:

? (goalkeeper)
Joey Barton (Manchester City, sorry mate, your butt isn't worth showing off)
Robbie Van Persie (Arsenal, another cool diver)
Robbie Savage (Blackburn Rovers)
?


Okay - now I need help to fill up the rest of the places...

Sub striker must be Craig Bellamy in my view. Shame a certain bald French keeper no longer plays in the Premiership, I'd have selected him...
