Canadian International Mason Trafford reveals the ten players he would most like to play with to form his ideal starting eleven. Lining up in a 3-4-3 formation designed to get as many exciting attacking players as possible into his lineup, the versatile defender, who can play as both a left back and a central defender, chose to take up the position of left-sided centre back on a back line also featuring two dominant English Premier League players.

My Perfect Ten: Ashtone Morgan
Goalkeeper – Joe Hart, Manchester City – Hart has been in good form and looks to be one of the top goalkeepers in the world right now. Hopefully he won't be needed much with the rest of team that he will have in front of him.
Central Defender – Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United – He's just coming back from some bad injuries but he's still one of my favorite players. A Great leader who is strong and who brings toughness. Surely a guy no forward wishes to go up against.
Right Central Defender – Vincent Kompany, Manchester City – I'm not a City fan but this guy always impresses me when I watch him play. He is so athletic, as well as big and strong. Another great leader.
Right Midfield – Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid – Ronaldo just has so many weapons. He can break teams down and create scoring chances in so many ways - speed, heading, dribbling, shooting. You name it, he can do it.
Center Midfield – Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid – I really enjoy watching him play. His range of passing is fantastic and I don't think it can be argued that he isn't one of the best midfielders in the game right now.
Center Midfield – Xavi, Barcelona – He is just so good and so consistent. How can you not love this guy? Quietly goes about his business and dominates the tempo and flow of the game. Never loses the ball.
Left Midfield – Neymar, Santos – Just because it will be fun to give him the ball from my left center back position and watch him do his tricks. Looking forward to seeing how he does when he goes to Europe. This selection is more for entertainment purposes, as there is no denying this guy can put on a show!
Left Forward – Radamel Falcao, Atlético Madrid – I don't get to see this guy play as much as some of the others on my team, but whenever I do, he just seems to be so dangerous. Again, like Ronaldo, he can score in many different ways. I would hate to play against him and that's why he makes my team.
Center Forward – Zlatan Ibrahimović, Paris Saint-Germain – Although he often irritates me, his ability is undeniable and I'd rather have him in my team than have him playing against me. Like Neymar, some of the things he does are just so outrageous that I'll include him purely for entertainment. That, and he is one of the best forwards in the world.
Right Forward – Lionel Messi, Barcelona – Best Player Ever. I am not even going to explain this selection because it's just so obvious that he would be in anyone's team.
