No centre backs, that team will concede goals like crazy. Although, I'm assuming the height of the goals are low in 5aside, so Seaman doesn't have to worry about getting lobbed so much.
If we were going to analyse it properly, you don't really need a proper centre back in 5-a-side. Three Kantés and one goalscorer would be as good as it gets. :D
 
Green
Rice
Carrick
Payet
J cole

Rice and Carrick both having played CB during their careers meaning I can leave out Rio and have cole

Pains to leave dicanio out but payet was world class that season
 
Some people look like they are just picking great players, but 5 a side has different skills in some ways.

I think you need defenders who are solid, but nimble, good engine and can score and also need forwards who can defend etc. No last line to run in behind, no headers to be won.

Alison
Steve Nicol
Gerrard
Suarez
Torres

If six a side would have trent in, and swap stevie nicol over to the left hand side.

All scorers, but also do the yards required to get up and down as well, although I heard the other day that Ian Rush mainly used to play in defence in training and you could hardly get past him, and with his finishing.....lets have a 7 a side on the astro turf, instead.

John Sheridan won the league cup with us in 91 (beat Man Utd 1-0), I almost chose David Hirst who also played in that final but I thought Di Canio would be a better 5 a side player ?
So we’re just about level with Everton for the last trophy win ??
I think you’ll find my 5 had League Champions and European medal winners in it, not the Mickey Mouse Cup winners.:p
