Football Manager 2008 Dream Team

This is my first post, and I’m just generally interested to see who people rate as the best players in the game. We all know about the Ronaldo’s, Messi’s and Torres’ of the game, but how many people actually use them, and in what formation do they play them.
So the idea of this is just to see how people operate their fantasy teams.

Ok you have the budget of Mark Hughes and can buy any player in the world. Below put together your own dream line ups. It’s been a year since the game was released so it should be pretty clear to you all who is worth having and who is not. To get the ball rolling i shall post my own. Feel free to comment, but i would suggest not bad-mouthing someone else’s team unless you have the nuts to post your own for criticism.

You can have the obvious 11 starters in the formation you’d use, and then 5 Bench players.

Mine lines up as follows:

Cech

Sergio Ramos        Terry          Ferdinand              Lahm

De Rossi

Ronaldo                                                                Messi

Kaka

Villa                  Adriano

Subs:
Casillas
Collocini
Essien
Sneijder
Torres

Auther: Hotshot Hodson

    I'm in my first season with Newcastle. We're 3rd in the premiership and The second transfer market is about to close. I've spent £26 000 000 and have sold lots of players as well including Obafemi Martins and Mark Viduka. My main team is a follows:

    Shay Given

    Geremi—Steven Taylor—Abdoulaye Faye—José Enrique

    Joey Barton—Ever Banega

    James Milner————————–Charles N'Zogbia

    Rafael van der Vaart

    Michael Owen—–Alan Smith

    On the Bench(Normally):

    Damien Duff

    Nicky Butt

    Breno

    Belozogle Emre

    Cacapa

    It's not a bad little squad and is capable of good things when lots of money is spent on improving it and it will be brilliant when my youth players mature. However I may have spent too much on money on youth as in a few years some defenders, strikers and my Goakeeper will need replacing. I recommend buying a proven experienced player to replace existing aging talent in the summer transfer window and buying 2 or 3 young talented players in the January transfer window(This will vary depending on budget). I also recommending investing in players that can fill multiple roles if you are a low budget club. Sell aging players or surplus players when and if possible unless they are key i.e. I got rid of Mark Viduka but I have kept Shay Given.

    I hope this helps.

    Not sure how they would play together, but are all quality players when you start the game but would also last for a few seasons.

    In my first season as Liverpool I picked up Pires for £2.5m (release clause) and played him AML – absolute bargain. I also signed some other players and changed the formation to 4-1-2-2-1:

    Reina

    Finnan/Arbeoa Carra Agger Rise

    Poulsen (DMC) (Seville bid £6m plus Poulsen for Sissoko – bargan!)

    Babel (AMR) Pires (AML)

    Van der Vaart Gerrard (AMC)

    Torres

    Works like a charm. Stevie G revels in his attacking role and VdV scored 28 goals in his first season. Also had Adriano, Mascherano and Modric on the bench among others!

    Started off the game with my home team…unfortunately thats Luton Town. Not the best team overall but this will help you fly up the leagues if your starting low for a challenge.

    Dean Brill

    Keith Keane Miguel Rebosio Sam Sodje Keiran Lee

    Bruno Aguiar Matthew Spring

    David Cenkauskas David Edwards David Bell

    Victor Moses

    My subs are mainly youth players so I wont bother listing them.

    Admittedly I did inherit nearly half the team from the existing squad but in all honesty I'm yet to find any better from League 1/Championship.

    David Bell is a superb player who will get a ton of assists and the odd goal. Cenkauskas scores a hat full and Moses grows into one of the best strikers from England. The problem is keeping on to them! By the time you get to the higher echelons of the championship, these players who were no more than a £100,000 each or less (with the exception of Keiran Lee)

    will be worth at least somewhere in the region of £1-2 million, Moses and Bell maybe a little more. If you've invested in good youth players you can sell those who are getting big for their boots for a tidy profit and fill your team with young superstars! Hurrah!

    after a few seasons this team should be awesome:

    Ustari

    De Silvestri Atienza Connolly A.Traore

    Fabregas Banega

    Lulinha Saivet

    Vela Aguero

    SUBS:

    Akinfeev/Fraga

    Toure/Mancienne

    Nasri

    Bojan

    Lucho Gonzalez

    Ronaldo

    Merida

    Gonzalez is a bit old after a few seasons but still awesome. I was Arsenal, but they've still got some awesome young guys. Traore is BY FAR the best left back, and Vela and Aguero are also BY FAR the best strikers. I went for Lulinha over Ronaldo as he's far cheaper (even though budget isn't an issue). De Silvestri starts with Lazio, but makes great tackles. Atienza is awesome on a bad day and Connolly develops into a great player after several years with Arsenal. Saivet is the most promising left winger as he scores a stupid amount from there. As for the subs, Fraga is a technically great young Mexican keeper, though he does make errors; and Mancienne is v.good. Finally, Francisco Merida (arsenal youth) develops into a fantastic Cesc Fabregas mimic if played regularly.

    I CANT STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF CARLOS VELA, HENRI SAIVET AND ARMAND TRAORE. ALL THREE ARE AMAZING.
