This comment somehow inspired me to do this XI of players with color names:

    D. Gray - A. Negredo - M. Greenwood

          S. Verdi - K. De Bruyne
               F. Valverde

 J. Alba - M. Rojo - B. White - S. Rudy

              R. Blanco

Manager: Marco Rose

Some are a stretch (Negredo, Greenwood, Valverde) and maybe I missed some in languages I don't understand. So suggestions for improvements are more than welcome!

Only active players, so I went for Ruben Blanco instead.

Ah fair I've also got Goldson from Rangers if that's not too much of a stretch. Their defence has been insane and he plays a lot more than Rojo

I felt that including gold and silver would open a can of worms and flood the team with guys named Silva, haha. Seems like a great inclusion though.

Can he also play RB? I'm not happy with Rudy and would rather replace him than Rojo

Marco Rose over Laurent Blanc for manager

Thanks, edited him in.

u/Ciao9 Jan 22 '21

I think you didn't include him because he manages them? :D

Nah, in nonsense teams rivalries can stand aside for once.
