What a full forward line.
The Premier League season has just started, which means that picking Fantasy teams is very much on the minds of football fans at the moment.
Or at least it will be until most of them give up within three weeks.
But what if it applied to Gaelic Football and what if it applied to the cream of the cop in the big ball game since the turn of the millennium?
Thanks to Today FM and Sky Sports, Gaelic Football fans can select their Dream Team made up of the best footballers from the year 2000 to the present day, either picking from a list of pre-selected players or entering the names of players they think should make the cut.
A judging panel made up of All-Ireland winning managers including Jack O’Connor and John O’Mahony will cast their eye over the selections, with some of the best ones in line to win prizes which include free Sky Sports for a year, tickets to the All-Ireland Football Final and €1,000 spending money.
If you haven’t already, you can select your team here and be sure to share your selection on Twitter using the #15for15 hashtag.
To get you started, have a look at the side selected by a man who’d be on a lot of people’s teams from the last 15 years, former Armagh forward Oisin McConville, who named his team on Championship Sunday on Today FM at the weekend.
Would your selection give these lads a game? Only one way to find out.
