The champion of the Premier League on two occasions chose four luminaries from England’s premier division, alongside one maestro each from the Spanish La Liga and the French Ligue 1.
For the goalkeeping position, he chose Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid, a former colleague at Chelsea. Their partnership at Stamford Bridge was marked by four seasons of collaboration and a duo of league triumphs.
In defence, his six-a-side ensemble features just one player: Kyle Walker, whose tenure as a right-back stands out for its consistency in the modern era of the Premier League.
On the Blues defender, he said: “You need to have a good defender in there.”
The Spanish maestro chose a trio of midfield virtuosos, each renowned for their exceptional technical skills.
He started with the leader of Arsenal, Martin Odegaard, and then picked the Manchester City pair, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva. For the attacking lead, Kylian Mbappe was his preferred choice.
Fabregas added: “It’s all about technique in my team… and then to finish off the chances I’m going to go with Mbappe.”
Odegaard, Foden, and Silva stand out as premier midfielders in the league, showcasing their talents for Arsenal and Manchester City, respectively.
Odegaard’s influence was significant for Arsenal last season, and he continues to excel, aiding his team’s title pursuit this campaign.
Foden is having a stellar season, boasting a career-best tally of 22 goals across all competitions. Silva remains instrumental in Pep Guardiola’s system, consistently delivering outstanding performances.
Mbappe, on the other hand, has been remarkable, scoring an incredible 41 goals this season, poised to have his most prolific campaign yet.
Cesc Fabregas’ dream six-a-side team: Thibaut Courtois; Kyle Walker; Martin Odegaard, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva; Kylian Mbappe.
