This got me curious about constructing a starting XI based on former academy players who are still playing elsewhere today.
I used this TransferMarkt web page to find them, and then picked out the ones who either never made a senior appearance or only made a small number of them (which excluded the likes of Iwobi and Nketiah). There were plenty of decent attacking options. But not so many good defensive options. I excluded players like Obi-Martin and Heaven who are only now breaking into their club's first teams.
