Your Ultimate Match Day Squad?

[The Kop Kid]

O.K, I know this is a bit of an extension of the 'who to buy' thread, but this is for a whole team.

So, who are your ultimate 16 players chaps? The best starting eleven and 5 subs. These don't have to be in your current game, just players that you have bought at some point and who have 'done the business' for you.

Obviously if you currently only play three at the back and five in midfield for example, then your starting eleven will reflect that. I haven't really thought mine through yet so I'm gonna leave some blank and edit them in later. So, to get the ball rolling....

GK Chiotis
CB West
CB Chivu
CB A.Thwaites (though I've only had him 2 seasons)
DMC Kuluzny (David Mendes Da Silva after two or so years)
MC Gallardo
MC Gerrard
MC Van der Vaart
AMC Nikiforenko
AMC Aimar
CF Tsigalko

SUB A. Van der Meyde
SUB Rosicky
Sub Kerr
SUB Samuel
SUB Lunden
SUB Quaresma

I like this thread.

Im just going to stick with the standard 4-4-2 formation. I chose Hyypia and Henchoz at CB, becuase when i was managing Liverpool before i started on my Ajax game, they were undoubtably solid at the back.

GK. Sebastien Frey

DL. Wilfried Bouma
DC. Sami Hyypia
DC. Stephane Henchoz
DR. Isaac Okoronkwo

ML. Rafael van der Vaart
MC. Pablo Aimar
MC. Steven Gerrard
MR. Juan Roman Riquelme

SC. Maxim Tsigalko
SC. Michael Owen

SUB Dionis Chiotis
SUB Arjen Robben
SUB Andy van der Meyde
SUB Taribo West
SUB Justin Georcelin

There are probably a few players that are glaring omissions. But if i can think of them, i'll do an edit, but that line up is straight off the top of my head. I could never get the likes of Zidane, Totti, Carlos etc in my line up.

Players worth a mention too?

Cristian Chivu
Alex
Joe Cole
Marc van Bommel
Julius Aghahowa
Claudio Pizarro
Jamie Carragher

Im sure there is more. But thats all for now.

 

[seered]

The line up that won everything in 2007 for B-ham

SUB-zannetti
SUB-van der vaart

Is that Cherno Samba? If so i've just bought him. I thought he was a regen having stats like that at 20. I really like Nikiforenko also, though I'm having trouble with work permits the last two games.

 

[Shindig]

Through experience, this lot helps:

GK: Russian Nigmatullin
DL: Wayne Quinn
DR: Diego Gavilan
CB: Frederik Risp
CB: Isaac Oronkwo
ML: Laurent Robert
MR: Keiron Dyer
DMC: Stephen Warnock
AMC: Juan Roman Riquelme
FC: Alan Shearer
FC: Michael Dunwell

Riquelme seems very prolific for me when he plays in the AMC position and Dunwell, although stuck in non-league football, can score truckloads when he wants to. Nigmatullin gets in because, the one time I bought him, he was like a brick wall in goal. Wayne Quinn gets a mention because he really, really can become a good asset to club and country. As can Gavilan, despite the fitness problems. Shearer gets in for obvious reasons, his lack of speed doesn't stop him from getting 30 goals a season. Isaac Oronkwo is a commited defender and Frederik Risp really can hold his own, despite his age.

Others worth a mention:

Radoslaw Kaluzny: Aggressive but he gets the job done.
Clarence Acuna: Another good holding player but he often moves on for a new challenge.
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic: Prolific and cheap. Currently has 33 caps for my Norway side. Only 21 years of age.
Shay Given: A good guy to have between the sticks. Doesn't always produce, mind.
Stephen Pearson: Another prolific midfielder.

Samba really is that good. Millwall's squad is full of top talent.

 

[The Kop Kid]

I've been thinking about getting Riquelme for a while now. Eldar never really performed well for me and I found Risp got 'owned' in big game matches, which is why he got left out of my ultimate 16.

How long did you play with Liverpool for? Hyypia had a great first season in my current game and then went to sh*t. Owen was also an underachiever for me. What kind of goalscoring return are you getting from him?

 

[Ebonix]

GK - Dimitris Elefuroplous
DL - Esteban Cambiasso
DR - Owen Hargreaves
DC - Assane N'Daiye
DC - Isaac Okowronkwo
DMC - Radoslow Kaluzny
MR - Abgar Barsom
ML - Mark Kerr
AMC - Eldar Hadzimehmodovic
FC - Maxim Tsigalko
FC - Akoinori Nishizawa


(It was greatly influenced by my Leicester Glory days team)

I think i made 2015 with Liverpool.

Hyypia was a consistant performer for me, i always remember that, got about 3 or 4 seasons out of him. lol

Owen, for memory, 20-30 goals a season.

I can never get Ronaldinho to leave PSG. Now...take some deep breaths.....Gomez is not in my game!! I am not currently playing with the update used, so is he a part of that? He was in my00/01, but when I tried to have a look for him after starting to play CM01/02 again he was not in the game. You may want to go and have a lay down now.

 

[John_Arne_Riise]

Now theres a blatant miss. I take Owen out of mine and replace him with Ronaldinho. How could i forget

Yeah....yeah, I thought he might be. I thought that I had heard you mention him once. Just how many does he get for you to make you love the guy so much? Is he as good as maxim?

 

[Tom]

far better than maxim cos he gets loads of assists too. He's just a legend, he doesnt score as much as anyone on CM4 but on 0102 he was fantastic.

He scored 30+ in 3 consecutive seasons at Valencia for me.
