Formation: 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3

GK: Stéphane Ruffier (St Etienne)
RB: Oscar De Marcos (Athletic Bilbao)
CB: Iñigo Martínez (Real Sociedad)
CB: Aymeric Laporte (Athletic Bilbao)
LB: Cesar Azpilacueta (Chelsea FC)
DM: Mikel San Jose (Athletic Bilbao)
DM: Xabi Alonso (Bayern Munich)
CM: Ander Herrera (Manchester United)
RW: Antoine Griezmann (Athletico Madrid)
LW: Muniain (Athletic Bilbao)
ST: Aduriz (Athletic Bilbao)

The team would also be able to field the likes of:
Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli): He has Basque roots and I believe he is eligible to play for Athletic Bilbao. Diego Forlan is in this same boat.

Javi Martinez (Bayern Munich)

Balenziaga (Athletic Bilbao)
Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao)
Carlos Martinez (Real Sociedad)
Fernando Llorente (Sevilla FC)
Asier Illarramendi (Real Sociedad)
Ander Iturraspe (Athletic Bilbao)


Obviously these players would have to elect to play for the team but this is a dream.

You're forgetting Juan Mata.

Also Iraizoz would start at GK even if he is older -- very experienced GK and has shut out the likes of Messi and Ronaldo.

Also like Iñigo it is Iñaki!

I could see this team assuming all commit to it (Xabi Alonso is retired from international play) qualifying for the World Cup if we get a nice group.

Winning it would be very ambitious although we would make a dent in Spanish/French squads to a point where we could beat them.

I did forget Juan Mata, woops.

If this team played in Euros, Iraizoz would start. If we're talking about the next World Cup, it's Ruffier or Bilbao youngster Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Kepa plays for our B team though, Herrerín is our backup who does Europa/Copa del Rey stuff.

He would make the trip though as a GK, I got faith in that.

Nacho is. Some quality players are of Basque decent. If Athletic Bilbao had Barcelona money, they could win Champions League

they've got a lot money but with their basque policy they don't buy much.

I'm talking if they had the money to buy the Higuain's of the world.

Athletic Bilbao is $$$. You can check them out on the football manager game too. xd

Buy-out clauses bring in a good amount when they sell to a big club like Herrera to United.

I've actually thought about doing a Bilbao save on FM. I don't know quite how much budget they have in the game.

If we were to somehow afford Azpilicueta and one of Mata or Aziplicueta, I think we would finish top 4.

Little bit of a fan here. More of a Bayern fan but Bilbao are my favorite BBVA team, by far.

I can't call myself a fan though because everyone would flip sht because I like more than one team!!!!
