Agree. sports analogy follows.

it won't help you to have 11 'Lionel Messi's on your team. good compatibility among players is much more preferable. It's probably better to have small robust teams that can work together, ppl who are avg in most required areas and are rockstars in certain specific ones.

If you had written any other athlete I would agree.

But in this case I think 11 Messi's would win everything there is to win in football for a decade straight.

He's too small and his defense contribution is too low. You'd just chuck 11 prime Yaya Toures at him and watch them dominate the game :-)
To go further, it reminds me of the movie Money Ball.
