Surprised there's no thread on this. I'm bored so thought I'd create it. I've been seeing people discussing whether or not there should be a North v South games like the All Star NBA match. I assume it came about due to this tweet from Lukaku

Here’s an idea for you guys... the nba has all-star game! Don’t you guys think we should organise one in the @premierleague.. The north vs the south! And the fans vote... what do you guys think? @premierleague @FA
Firstly what does everyone think? I wasn't a massive fan as I think it is pointless as it would just be an exhibition game and money spinner, which would only benefit the PL. But then like once it's advertised and hyped up i'm sure I'd tune in and it might be interesting.
Secondly what would the 2 starting elevens be?
I've gone 4231 for North as I think the big 3 teams there mainly use that formation
------------------DDG----------
Walker-Bailly-Kompany-Robertson
------------Pogba--Fernandinho------------
Salah-----------Silva------------KDB
-----------------Aguero---------------
Massive lack of LBs available, was even trying to think of those outside of the top 3 clubs.
South
------------------------------Lloris-------------
Azpilicueta-Alderweireld-Vertonghen---------Rose
-----------------------Kante-----Dembele----
-----------------------------Eriksen----------
------------------Ozil--------------------Hazard
------------------------------Kane--------------------
Didn't think there was a standout option at either fullback position though there were definitely alot more options on both sides. Also not sure on best formation to get all the best attacking players in. I would say my Spurs bias has kicked in but tbf we are ahead of all of them atm, and playing a lot better currently
What are your thoughts?
