Career wise doesn't really work. You would have Kewell, Cahill, Culina, Neil and Grella even, in the Aleague side.

Yeah maybe have they can only play for the first league they played in
 
This is great - I interpreted it as the first league they played in, so excluding any of the GG that played in the A-League. I had to mangle the NSL formation a bit to fit some fantastic players in...I remember when Farina came back to Oz after 10 or so years in Belgium etc, and took the Brisbane Strikers from also-rans to winning the GF in front of 40k fans at Suncorp. Domestic Oz football in the mid-90s pulling 40k? Only other time it happened were the two GFs at Subiaco. So I had to have Farina in there. And Colosimo might have been one of our greatest ever midfielders, if Andy Cole hadn't committed grievous bodily harm against him at Homebush - probably a controversial inclusion.

NSL XI

------------------Bosnich--------------------

Emerton-----Ivanovic-----Lazaridis

-------------------Colosimo-----------------

Bresciano---Culina---Zelic---Farina

----------------Viduka----Mori--------------

I went outside of my own rules for one player in the A-League XI - Nik Mrdja. What a fantastically skilled player he was, and another one who I think would've had a fantastic career for the Socceroos if injuries hadn't curtailed him. Pretty sure he did play in both the NSL and A-League. The weird alignment of Brosque and Thompson is intentional, Brosque operating just behind the main striker.

A-League XI

--------------------Galekovic-----------------------------------

Jamieson----Spiranovic----Sainsbury----J.Bos

-----------------------Mooy-------------------------------------

Goodwin----McGree---Mrdja----Arzani-----------

-----------------Brosque--------------------------------------
--------------------------------A.Thompson---------------

Who would win? The NSL XI, in a close one, no doubt.
 
welcome scnertho - not bad man not bad at all with the NSL squad, infact its a cracker.
AL one makes sense as well even though I haven't considered one myself but that line up looks good.

I'd have Rhyan Grant ahead of Jamieson, Rogic ahead of Mrdja, Leckie ahead of Azani.
 
The best NSL players were smashed twice by NZ in the OFC nations cup, would prob be the same result if it was best of ALM vs NZ too.

Mcgree is a great shout and compmetely forgot about him in my midfield!

Leckie is very underrated, he was in the 2015 Asian cup winning squad, he scored the winner against Denmark in the World cup, he played in Germany for many years.

3 decent seasons in the bundesliga probably puts him as the 2nd best right winger we have ever produced (taking bresc as a left winger)
 
When I think of NSL v AL I think of guys that spent the best part of their careers here not overseas. Ivanovic, Tobin, Boutsianis, Mori, Despotovski from the NSL. Galekovic, Thompson, Goodwin from the AL.

Sorry mate, not really my cup of tea... Different players suited to different eras, different strengths against different lineups... I cant even decide on South's best ever IX let alone a NSL top one... :)
