cr7 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2008 Well someone has to play up front to convert all the chances generated by the midfield, so it's about time I took a striker. So why not snag someone who averaged just around 25 goals a season over his 17 year career. Alan Shearer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Shearer You twat bags, I was hoping people wouldn't want him and I could pick him up - he was next on my list. What other Geordie Faithful can I go for...

cr7 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2008 I had a feeling that was coming from you, there was another player associated with Newcastle who I was thinking could go up front. But I think he's a bit of a twat, and wouldn't dare make the selection. Edit: I don't feel like bumping the FM thread from a few months ago, but anyone that's still playing, would you want to test out a tactic I've been using? I sometimes don't even believe the success I've been getting from it and would love to see how it works for others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Seeing as he changed the pick, I'll go with... John Barnes. He'll play in left midfield of course. We will score lots of goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 I need to start building an attack, so here's a man who could play in attacking midfield or as a striker (plus at sweeper). World Footballer of the Year twice and one of the best players I saw growing up in the 80s and 90s. Ruud Gullit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Both good choices. I was hoping people wouldn't think less of Rivaldo just because of the way his career tailed out.. in his prime he was the best left winger/attacker going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonL21 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 now for defense.. The First Modern American player to play in the Italian Serie A league. One of the best defenders in American Soccer(Football) history. He may look like this now.. But this bad ass suits up for my squad.. Alexi Lalas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Time to sow my defense up this round... Zambrotta If there's one thing the Italians know... its how to bribe the refs... and defend Right back, Right Wing? It doesn't matter, Zambrotta will play them both. Amazing pace, great passing abilities, its like having a second winger on the field when he over laps. Won the World Cup and numerous league titles over his career, he's destined to go down as an all time Italian Great. and for my 2nd pick Carles Puyol The only player, other then Banks, to not have played in Black & White so far...

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Carles Puyol is the defensive steal so far. Very underrated, catalan legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Puyol is a good choice, although he did look a little shakey during the Euros Marco Zoro?? That's a little out of left field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
