triggerluke Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 I started a new topic earlier today about player descriptions after find Andy Carroll was described as a "Rangy Striker" and it got me to thinking....what other unusual player descriptions have people found? Now I've been playing FM for years and I have obviously seen many different descriptions of players, from Midfield General to Commanding Goalkeeper. Personally my favourite is Born Leader (on players like John Terry, Carlo Puyol). So....what's your favourite player description? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper99 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I know it's already been mentioned in the opening post, but I've always liked 'Midfield General'. I always look for one of these players to play in DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightedManager Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I quite like the descriptions that simply repeat the players' position. Nothing fancy, not mad, bad, or exceptional. Just a plain old player. How dull!! I also enjoy messing with the game's descriptions, so I now have 'Old Fashioned Centre Forward', 'Psychotic Defender', and my favourite, 'Ambassador for Club'.

llama3 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 in fm07 i had a regen described as "unsporting" and my favourite is an "industrious midfielder" cos none of my squad have that anymore! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick... Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 'Spineless' was quite good. Possibly the best centre back in the world at his peak, the guy that had that. My favourite though is 'casual'. The most notable example of that was a casual goalkeeper named Dave James (no relation) who played like a cusual goalkeeper, and after a while quite beutifully changed to 'lacks self esteem'. He was also notable for being at his 5th club by the time he made his first team debut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
