Sep 2008 12

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

    My team PSV in season 2011/2012 looks like this:

    Gomes

    Pineda Colocini Vidal Alves
    Santana Toulalan Veloso Aquino
    Palacio Kießling

    I chose for a combination of balance in defense and a few players who are creative enough to make the difference in a match.

    On the bench:
    Cassio
    Adriano (Monaco)
    Arshavin
    Ignashevic
    Farfan
    Aaron
    Bocaly
    Da Costa
    Zonneveld

  42. Joseph S says:

    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.
