It was Ever Banega I was thinking of and he wasn't even there when Rafa was.
But ermm, Baraja.

Benayoun?
Harry Kewell
Djibril Cisse
Fernando Morientes
Momo Sissoko
Robbie Fowler?
Igor Biscan (probably not)
nvm
Matt Ritchie
Ciaran Clark
Andre Yedlin is one and Christian Atsu if he played under Rafa at Chelsea too?
That's me out. I cannot even think of another Valencia player from that era let alone one who played for Rafa. Marchada? Marshada? Markado?
Vicente, Rufete, erm, that bloke who played centre half at Euro 2008.
Angulo
Mista
Xisco
I had a beastly CM game with that squad.
Last two are Curro Torres and Juan Sanchez

That was harder than anticipated. The back line in the top ten is interesting in that I reckon our current defense is the only time we've had one better than Reina - Finnan - Carra - Hyypia and Riise.
The midfield three on paper of xabi alonso, gerrard and masch is the best of all time

Diego Godin and Griezmann from Atletico for sure and Mbappe. I imagine there's a few more Atletico and PSG players.
Thiago Silva. I did cheat a little and check when he played for Milan. I thought he'd won it in 2007 with them but he hadn't joined by then. It was a better guess than Beckham which swiftly brought 1999 facepalms.
