Sky Sports' pundit Terry Gibson has come up with a budget squad from Spanish sides, but would it survive in the Premier League?
Speaking on the La Liga Weekly podcast, Spanish football expert Gibson reckons his side, which costs a grand total of 12.5m euros (£10.4m), would hold their own in the English top flight.
Made up of loan players, free transfers and a few 'marquee' signings either to or from La Liga sides, Gibson told the podcast it shows just how much value there is in the Spanish league.
"I'm not saying this team would win the Premier League, or even easily survive relegation, but I think they'd have a chance," Gibson said.
"Is it the Premier League premium, or is it not being clever enough? Because Leicester and Middlesbrough have picked up players on free transfers.
"I'm sure a Premier League team could have got someone like Jony Rodriguez too, and Martin Montoya would be a good steady full-back for a Premier League team.
"It's that peer pressure from the supporters. They want the £20m player, the YouTube players. There is really good value there still, but it's the Premier League premium.
"Leo Baptistao went from Atletico to Espanyol via a loan at Villarreal. If that had been a West Ham or Tottenham coming in, there would be a one in front of the three, £13.5m.
"The point I'm trying to make is, there is value in the players if you know what you're doing. You don't have to spend complete fortunes to have a decent team."
