Spain legend David Villa gives his star-studded #One2Eleven on the first The Fantasy Football Club of the campaign.
Goalkeeper: Pepe Reina
I played with very good goalkeepers - Iker Casillas, Victor Valdes, Santiago Canizares - but I choose Reina because he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He's a very good friend of mine.
Left-back: Jordi Alba
He's fast, a good defender, and good in attack. He's one of the best in the world.
Right-back: Juanfran
He's an offensive and defensive player, and in the last few years is one of the best centre-backs in the world.
Centre-back: Diego Godin
I played with so many good defenders, but I'd have to go with my old team-mate Diego Godin. He is very good as a centre-back, with the ball and without the ball, especially at set pieces in attack.
Centre-back: Carles Puyol
He is one of the best centre-backs in football history, I played with him at Barcelona and with the Spain national team.
Defensive midfield: Sergio Busquets
I think in this position he is the best player in the world.
Central midfield: Koke
He is quality, I played with him when he was young, and he has a huge future.
Central midfied: Xavi
It was a pleasure to play close to him, he is one of the best ever in his position.
Left forward: Andres Iniesta
Obviously he scored the winning goal for Spain in the World Cup. He can play in many positions, in the midfield too, but I choose him on the left side of the forwards.
Right forward: David Silva
My team-mate in Valencia and the national team. He is quality, and gave me a lot of passes in my career. I trust him.
Centre forward: Lionel Messi
In my opinion the best soccer player in the world.
