We've been picking out the players we love all day at TEAMtalk and can now bring you another set of our heroes from three more of our writers.
Simon Wilkes and Jon Holmes picked out 11 players they love earlier in Part One of our new feature on Thursday, and now we can unveil three more dream XIs.
We want to hear all your thoughts so don't forget to use our story comment facility and get the debate going on the Your Say pages too.
Mark Holmes, Stoke City fan
Heurelho Gomes (GK) - Goalkeepers don't stand out that often but I just love to watch 'the Octopus' play. He's always got a smile on his face and there's always that chance he might do something daft, which makes him great value.
Rafael Da Silva (RB) - I'm a big fan of him and his brother but I'd already got a left-back in mind so only Rafael makes the cut. He's got great hair and loves attacking - what more could you want from a right-back?!
Ashley Cole (LB) - I had him in my 'hate' list on Wednesday (almost solely because of Cheryl!) but I do love watching him play. He's brilliant going forward and pretty damn good at defending these days too.
Jonathan Woodgate (CB) - Looks like he'd be a good laugh in the pub. Another one with a cracking barnet and a decent taste in music to boot. He's classy on the ball as well and would be in my England team if fit.
Abdoulaye Faye (CB) - I've had the pleasure of meeting Abs a few times and he's probably the world's nicest man. Loves life, loves his club, loves his fans, in fact loves pretty much everything. He's got the best laugh I've ever heard too!
David Beckham (RM) - No explanation necessary - old Goldenballs is an absolute legend on and off the pitch and recently admitted his beard was the result of laziness. A man after my own heart.
Joe Cole (LM) - He loves Oasis, plays Pro Evo, goes out with an unbelievably good looking bird and probably does keepy ups in his back yard every day. What a gem.
Andriy Arshavin (CM) - I'll be honest, his face makes me laugh. He looks like a six-year-old kid and sucks his thumb when he scores, which he does bloomin' loads. The sort of player you never get tired of watching too.
Frank Lampard (CM) - Many don't like him but I've had a soft spot for 'Fat Frank' (If he's fat I'm the queen mum) since his West Ham days. 'Triffic' player as Jamie and Harry would say, but also a proper professional, great servant and all-round nice bloke.
Fernando Torres (CF) - Probably my favourite player in the Premier League. Boyish good looks (ooh err!), a lovely mop of hair and the sort of lad mums want to see their daughters come home with. He just happens to be an absolutely phenomenal striker too - the best in the world for me. Oh, he looks a bit like a hamster as well and that gets him a mark.
Peter Crouch (CF) - He looks like a bloody good laugh! I'd quite like to be him actually - he's got an unbelievable bird and even better moves on the dancefloor. I'm glad every time he scores.
Sam Nightingale, Liverpool fan
Edwin Van der Sar (GK) - The flying Dutchman is still going strong at the age of 39 for Manchester United. Like a good bottle of red, he gets better with age.
Sergio Ramos (RB) - The Real Madrid defender is still young and will only get better.
Patrice Evra (LB) - The Manchester United defender is superb going forward and does a decent job in defence.
Lucio (CB) - The Brazil defender has won the World Cup and every honour in Germany with Bayern Munich before a switch to Inter Milan in the summer. Top class.
Nemanja Vidic (CB) - The Manchester United defender has been a rock for the Red Devils as they won three Premier League titles on the bounce.
Lionel Messi (RM) - The Argentina and Barcelona winger is top class and he proved he is a big-game player with his headed goal against Manchester United as Barca won the 2009 Champions League final.
Cristiano Ronaldo (LM) - The Real Madrid star - currently World Player of the Year - is a bit of a poser but also a consummate professional who scores goals for fun.
Steven Gerrard (CM) - Is there a better attacking midfielder in the world than the Liverpool skipper? (Yes, quite a few actually ;) - Ed)
Xavi (CM) - The Barcelona playmaker is a brilliant footballer and would get in my XI.
Fernando Torres (CF) - The Liverpool striker is world class and he ended Spain's trophy drought with the winner in the Euro 2008 final against Germany.
Andriy Shevchenko (CF) - A great striker in his day. I admired his dignity in the way he dealt with the situation at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho, who clearly didn't rate him. Currently at Dynamo Kiev, Sheva showed Mourinho what he can do with a superb strike against Inter Milan in midweek.
Ian Watson
Gianluigi Buffon (GK) - Like the great Peter Schmeichel, Buffon is sometimes unorthodox but usually brilliant. Brings a sense of calm to whoever plays in front of him and puts the fear of God into anyone trying to beat him.
Andy O'Brien (RB) - Had the footballer's obligatory Porsche but preferred to drive to training at Newcastle in his Dad's LPG-converted old G-reg Saab to save a few quid on fuel. It might have been a tank, but was rarely beaten by Niko Dabizas' Fiat Cinquecento when the Toon players piled in the two cars for races after training.
Ashley Cole (LB) - Not first on the list of players I'd like to have a pint with, but he's come through a very sticky patch to establish himself as one of the world's best left-backs, and for that, he should be admired.
Fabio Cannavaro (CB) - Proof that you don't have to be 6ft-plus to be a world class centre-half. Never looks ruffled.
Thomas Vermaelen (CB) - Again, not the tallest, but loves to attack the ball in the air. Won't be out-muscled, left-sided and is a major threat in the opposition box. What's not to love?
David Beckham (RM) - Constantly slated but always bounces back to make critics eat his words. Still the best English player at what he does, and despite the circus surrounding him, seems a genuinely nice bloke.
Leo Messi (LM) - There are few players now who can beat defenders, but Messi makes it look ridiculously simple. The ball never leaves his toe, the lad is ridiculous.
Gennaro Gattuso (CM) - A bulldog, adores doing the dirty stuff, and does it brilliantly. It was love the day he stuck Gabriel Heinze on his backside at the San Siro before telling the sheepish Argentine exactly what he thought of him.
Andres Iniesta (CM) - The opposite of Gattuso, pulls the strings with a minimum of fuss.
Alessandro Del Piero (CF) - Italy's answer to Ryan Giggs, the 'Old Master' has proved himself to be one of the finest creative players of the last 15 years. As a teenager, I even tried growing Del Piero's trademark pointed sideburns in homage to the great man. Naturally, they looked better on him than they did on me.
Fernando Torres (CF) - Comfortably the best out-and-out striker in the world right now, El Nino has got it all, including humility.

Your Comments
studanskin41 (Blackburn Rovers fan)
"Mark Holmes... Ashley Cole followed by Jonathan Woodgate? surprised you didn't finish with Lee Hughes and Marlon King. Maybe have Ian Huntley as manager? I'm gathering you didn't grasp the concept of the article, because the previous two interpretations were fairly accurate and a decent read. However your response, quite honestly, i think is misguided at the least"
WestAus Gooner (Arsenal fan)
"I think part 2 missed the point, with people just picking good players. Isn't it meant to be the opposite of hate, and you pick lovable guys? Not a criminal like Gerrard or a narcissist with a short guy syndrome like Cole.
I think Jussi Jaaskelainen should get a mention. Guy is top class, not outspoken and seems really happy to play for Bolton."
blueboy276 (Everton fan)
"Anyone told Sam Nightingale that it's not name your all star 11?"
Klinsmanns Love Child (Tottenham Hotspur fan)
"Absolutely agree with Ian Watson with Gattuso, Buffon, Cannavaro and Del Piero - all fantastic players and good characters off the field. Although there'd be a lot of Italians, Maldini would have to be everyone's captain? The man was truly faultless throughout his career. And unlike what Ancelotti said, there is nothing similar about him and Terry. Not sure how Cole and Beckham are there?! In my eyes loyalty and not being money grabbers makes you a love to love player."
FaroeUnited (Manchester United fan)
"Mark Holmes would be on my list! Great work, lad, made me laugh :)"
rezarf (Luton Town fan)
"Bit controversial but saw an interview with Essien a while back, he was asked what he liked to do in his spear time, he paused, thought for a moment, grinned and nodded 'sleeeeeep' in his amazing Ghanaian accent. How can you not love that!?"
Seivas (Newcastle United fan)
"Come on, seriously... Becks with his "loyalty" towards LA Galaxy and his ever-running saga of where to play the next month. Love to hate this guy.
And Cristiano Ronaldo, with all the acting and posing. Have to respect the skill but have to hate the guy as a personality."
mradash (Tottenham Hotspur fan)
"The_Panik ... Maybe you should be the one doing some updating to your own research - Becks was asked about the beard he's been sporting after the last England game and he said it was due to laziness.
As for Ronaldo's inclusion - sure he's a fantastic player, one of the best, but I never thought anybody 'loved' him outisde of his own supporter sets?! "
astonvillaward (Aston Villa fan)
"YES! ITS ALL ABOUT PES! FOGET ABOUT FIFA!"
