How can you improve a outstanding veteran squad that have secured back-to-back titles, including a double triumph with 30 wins from thirty-two matches?
Bring in a collection of former professionals that have competed at the top tier of club football and international soccer as you aim for more honors.
A Greater Manchester club has an non-professional veterans squad with 9 ex- Premier League footballers in their present lineup.
Wythenshawe Vets Over 35s are based in southern the city and play in the Cheshire Vets League Top Tier.
The roster this season includes 9 former Premier League footballers, with a collective over 1,800 Premier League matches.
The star-studded team also includes over 220 top division scores and 325 global caps.
They feature one forward, who scored thirty-seven scores in 117 games for his former club after signing for them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side Freiburg in 2012.
Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their last home match versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a six-two win - including a 32-minute first-half triple.
The squad for this campaign also features ex- professionals such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley winger George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.
Together, the ex- Premier League footballers have claimed fifteen major trophies and moved for combined transfer fees of around £123m.
Stephen Ireland began playing for the side during pre-season this summer through good mate and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked additional former professionals, who all play in a weekly small-sided game, to join in.
Former Senegalese forward Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight games for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in the city and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their uniform.
"A friend Stephen told me 'come and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.
"Then he told me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton shirts - I say this is strange for me!
"When you still enjoy football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?
"The people who come and watch are pleased and to give someone's moment if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."
So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his first game at defender.
"That's a little unusual but then, I love running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.
"I warn my centre-back 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to keep running.
"The running is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."
Along with Cisse's six goals on debut, Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one game as a striker.
Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Tier with 3 victories from three and a GD of plus nineteen.
One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced ex- Latics defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Heskey was.
Figueroa has played at two World Cups for his country, in addition to featuring in over two hundred top-flight games.
"It was spreading like a rumor they had these former top-flight players," said Barrow.
"I felt I was a bit starstruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.
"Also Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd English appearances.
"Our side competed well for a good 20 mins but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.
"Our group literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the way home.
"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a group of regular fellas.
"Now we can't wait for the second fixture."
