Selection verdict

19 rated players qualify through the database continent field. Nation distribution stays visible so the selection reads as a continental archive, not a flagless super-team.

ATT is the highest-rated department at 85. The selected structure keeps that strength visible without treating a squad average as an XI rating.

4-2-3-1 is the canonical starting point: A double pivot protects the team while the number ten and wide forwards receive freedom.
