Ian Wright's Ultimate 11
Ian Wright was tasked to build his ideal Ultimate Team 11 at the EA Sports FC 24 launch in London recently, which was attended by the likes of Thierry Henry and Tottenham Hotspur's Hueng Min Son among others.
As expected, Wrighty included at least three Arsenal players and in picking his team, he had to choose between two players for every position.
He picked Liverpool's 86-rated Trent Alexander-Arnold over his England teammate, Newcastle's 85-rated right-back Kieran Trippier.

It was a no-brainer for Wright to choose Arsenal centre back William Saliba over Manchester City's Ruben Dias, despite the latter holding an 89-rating compared to Saliba's 83.
The 59-year-old is proud to champion the progression of women's football and picked five ladies in his side, including Australian superstar Sam Kerr and England Lionesses, Mary Earps and Millie Bright.

As per videogames.si.com, Wright expressed his excitement for the new integration of women players in Ultimate Team, FC 24's most popular game mode.
At least Five leagues of players - from NWSL, WSL, Liga F, Frauen-Bundesliga, are now available to unlock and play with in Ultimate Team.
"It's a beautiful thing, football is for everybody, so it's great to see that it's finally being recognized on this level," he said.
Icons of the women's game have also been recognized with special cards, joining Wright himself, who has a playable avatar in FC 24.
"It's fantastic for the Icons, players like Marta and Kelly Smith, all the great players that we can mention, Mia Hamm too, it goes back! So, to see it on a level playing field now for people playing the game with [Ultimate Team], it's brilliant," concluded Wright.
