The National Squad Player Selection
I. Introduction and Historical Literature Review
The all-time greatest national footballers and its historical squad have traditionally been an interested topic of discussion in each country that has its own identity and specialized knowledge in football history.
The planet world cup all-time dream team[1]
selected players in all-time national squad for its simulated situation of all-time
world cup competition without criteria of selection. The PES national all stars
[2] has been developing the player selection by a group of members and the
criteria of selection between them is perceivably varied.
Accordingly, this work is objective to
integrate between advice of expert and methodological technique that
standardize the criteria of selection and ranking through the national football
rating.
II. Methodology
The
methodological implementation of selection and ranking is conducted the same
procedures as World’s all-time greatest footballer for players who have been
rated in top 50 in any main position and the 9x100 positional ranking list for
players who rated below top 50 in any main position. In exception to the basic
criteria, the absence due to opportunistic limitation is 50 % less
impact.
The tactical reason is also an important factor to make players
selection, a lower rated players could be selected if their rating are in the
same class as another contender and they're more fit to the tactical formation.
The standardization of players being made a profile is depend on competitive
level in each nation as provided table of minimum score requirement that
implemented from criteria in 9x100 positional ranking list . The criteria to
name player in positional list/reserved group is set a minimum requirement of 3
international-class seasons. The grade is categorized by overall level of
legend.

system.

* In case score is resulted in the same level (difference <0.2), performance in prime period is a decisive factor *The dependent nation in colonized era is considered 50%-50% between colonized nation and colonizing nation.
* A national
awards bonus can be added such as UEFA Jubilee Award

V. Discussion
The selection process is conducted through all level of competitions not only performance in national team. The performance evaluation result from players ranking series played as an important role in application to this selection with higher amount of international country criteria but less affected in limitation of opportunistic factor. For the specialized knowledge of national legend, the advice of expert group in specific country has been largely
influenced on the selection and positional ranking. Moreover, the historical
survey/selections by magazine or football organization are an important supported evidence to identify legendary status of player in the history.
