backpackant Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The Beeb have a real-life "team of the noughties" up on their site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philminshull/2009/12/a_european_team_for_the_nought.html Goalkeeper: Oliver Kahn (Germany) Right-back: Lilian Thuram (France) Centre-back: Fabio Cannavaro (Italy) Centre-back: Ricardo Carvalho (Portugal) Left-back: Philipp Lahm (Germany) Right midfield: David Beckham (England) Centre midfield: Zinedine Zidane (France) Left midfield: Luis Figo (Portugal) Striker: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) Striker: Ruud van Nistelrooy (Netherlands) Striker: Thierry Henry (France) Substitutes: Iker Casillas (Spain), Paolo Maldini (Italy) Sergio Ramos (Spain), Xavi Hernandez (Spain), Pavel Nedved (Czech Republic), Wayne Rooney (England), Fernando Torres (Spain). We should keep discussion of the "real" list to OTF but how about those long-term players? What's your FM/CM top team? Forget about how they turned out in real life - your best team for FM/CM. CM01/02 (my first) had such amazing players as John Welsh, England's best DM, super-sub To Madiera, and the God-like Ruud van Nistelrooy, who coincidentally makes the "real" list too, and the must-have freebie at the start of the game Taribo West. The unstoppable Rivaldo, the exquisite Zidane, and the untapped potential of Danny Cadamarterie, Francis Jeffers and Michael Ricketts. FM07, possibly the easiest version of FM for me, saw pre-fat Ronaldo ruling, with Lucio probably the greatest defender ever and Ryan Giggs still delivering the magic. But my favourite player on this game, and FM08, has to be Miroslav Klose, who would bag me 40 goals a season no matter which team I played as. Or FM10's C. Ronaldo, David Villa, Aguero, Chiellini; wunderkids like Bojan? It's all yours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdunk Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Off the top of my head, my all time top XI (playing 4312) is probably something like: GK Sebastien Frey DR Michael Duff DL Michael Dorsin DC Ibrahim Said DC Assane N'Diaye MC Kim Kallstrom MC Mark Kerr MC Kennedy Bakircioglu AMC Tonton Mokouko FC Andriy Sigporrson FC To Madeira Fairly predictable I think. All from around CM0102 time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
