The Norwegian's team is set up in a 4-4-2 formation with Yaya Toure and Ruuid Gullit sitting on the base of the midfield. He went with flair on the wings, choosing Barcelona great, Ronaldinho and Kylian Mbappe.

Upfront, Haaland chose family loyalty over ratings, going with himself and his cousin, Jonatan Brunes, who plies his professional trade with the Belgian pro side, OH Leuven.

The 23-year-old phenom was forced to drop Ronaldo to accommodate his cousin, for which he apologised;

"Sorry Ronaldo. I have to drop you for my cousin [Jonatan]."

The Futwiz reports that Ronaldo has a rating of 94 while Brunes has a score of 85.
