The best XI of players not in their natural positions.

10 Potential January Transfer Window Bargains
GK: John Terry
Terry took over in between the sticks during the final minutes of a game vs Reading back in 2006 and even managed to keep a clean sheet.
LB: Cesar Azpilicueta
The Spaniard is now Chelsea’s established left-back, despite playing the entirety of his career on the opposite side of the defence.
CB: Michael Carrick
Carrick is a frequent makeshift centre-back for the Red Devils, even though him being there often means panic stations.
CB: Nacho Monreal
The left-back has been shifted into the middle of the back line to help soothe Arsenal’s ongoing injury crisis.
RB: Craig Gardner
During his time with Villa, the central midfielder was often deployed at right-back by then manager Martin O’Neill.
LM: Luke Shaw
Despite predominantly being a full-back, he has on occasion been moved forward to help aid the attack.
CM: Wayne Rooney
The England star has sometimes been shifted back into the centre of midfield, though often out of necessity rather than choice.
CM: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The Ox can operate from the middle of the park quite comfortably, and does so often when needs be.
LM: Daniel Sturridge
Before it was unanimously decided that he was most effective through the middle, Sturridge was often deployed from the flanks for club and country.
ST: Per Mertesacker
Often reserved as a last resort, but the big German has been known to stay forward on occasion in order to get a head on those cross that come flying in when backs are against the wall.
ST: Fernando Torres
Torres once used to impersonate a striker on a regular basis, but sadly everybody could see through the charade.
