Did you guess right?
It looks like I'm not the only big Wales fan in the world. Visit this great blog to find out who are the best Wales players in the top two divisions based on appearances.
By these calculations, this should probably be the squad to face Luxembourg. It's difficult to be completely sure who to choose - obviously the top Championship players played more games than the top Premier League players because they play 8 more matches and the Premier League players will probably be better than the Championship players on the whole.
I've ignored players like Jack Collison who definitely won't be fit to play against Luxembourg but I have included retired players with alternatives if they won't come out of retirement just for me.
Realistically, you could play David Cotterill up front, Adam Matthews or Darcy Blake in midfield and Carl Fletcher in defence (and Robbie Savage in goal!) but I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible. Which I'm sure I've failed to do.
Players are named in alphabetical order to encourage you to visit the original blog post!
I would be very happy with this squad!
Goalkeepers: Danny Coyne, Wayne Hennessey, Boaz Myhill
Defenders: Gareth Bale, Danny Collins, James Collins (if fit), Chris Gunter, Sam Ricketts, Gareth Roberts, Ashley Williams
(Craig Morgan to replace James Collins if he isn't fit)
Midfielders: Dave Edwards, Carl Fletcher, Ryan Giggs, Andy King, John Oster (if fit), Joe Ledley, Robbie Savage, David Vaughan
(David Cotterill, Simon Davies and Brian Stock to replace Fletcher, Giggs and Savage and if they won't come out of retirement.
One of those three or the retired Paul Parry or Jazz Richards to replace John Oster if he's not fit)
Forwards: Craig Bellamy, Simon Church, Robert Earnshaw, Freddy Eastwood, Ched Evans
(Hal Robson-Kanu to replace Bellamy if he won't play)
