Speaking of cups, why not try to make things a little more varied? I've played my current ML for seven or eight seasons now, and the ONLY teams I've had in the EMC final are Barca and Real Madrid, both of whom I've beaten every single time. It's getting really old. :^/

Pro Evolution Soccer: The Gathering? I'd buy that for a dollar.

Stick. Never liked the D-Pad for this sort of game. Just doesn't feel right. I use manual passes when I know a regular pass is not going to take the lane I want. The players never move to where it looks like they're going when I make the pass, though, so I don't know why I bother. :^/

Since Chapi and Orellano are completely undeveloped at this point, there's no reason to post their stats. I will tell you that they both take a bit of time to peak, and both curves make it to ~94 naturally. Anybody else you wanna see? If I've got 'em, I'll make a pic.

I have Palmieri, Chapi, Orellano, Nani, and Ben Sahar. I'll post pics of their development/stats when I get home from class tonight (Chapi and Orellano aren't developed yet, though). I've already posted Ben Sahar's in the "need help buying young players" thread a few spots down from this one.

Probably Kruger, as Vanden Borre peaks late and can handle a number of defensive positions with ease. Kruger is only CB/CWP iirc, so Palmieri is a more direct replacement. Aguero is faster than Torres and maybe more versatile, but Torres has much higher Attack. Personally, I'd be looking at...

Well, I'm also holding sprint (R1) most of the time, as I'm trying to chase somebody down, so maybe that's part of it.

To tug shirts, seems like you just have to press and hold "X" when you're chasing the player with the ball and you get within range. Some players do it more readily than others, though.

Thanks for Shaw! Do you know which Ramon? There is a Spanish GK and a Brazilian SB (who may be real).

It *almost* never works. It's hysterically funny to attempt at extremely inappropriate moments, though, like immediately after kick off.

Added Rowland. Thanks!

You've got the players to construct some raging 4-3-3's. I'd try: Ramos---Terry---Heitinga---Cole ----Essien----------Iniesta---- ---------Van der Vaart--------- Ronaldo----------------Robben ---------Ibrahimovich----------

Think of Kaiser as occupying the "Xabi Alonso on his good days" role. Yes, his attack is pretty crazy, but he's got better defense than most pure AMF/CMFs (VdV included), and superior passing/attack/tech when compared with the average DMF, which makes him the perfect deep-lying playmaker. He can...

VDV would really come down to where you're playing Kaiser, imo, though Kasier does take a while to peak. VDV plays AMF, DMF, CF, SS, so he's certainly not bad to have around, given his attack gets up to around 97. Kaiser as DMF plus VDV as AMF is a pretty hellacious midfield.

Van der Vaart doesn't actually drop till about 30-31. He has a double peak with a small dip in between, and that second peak hits about 95!

I'm in my 7th season, still no Bos or Van Dijk, the two defenders I want most. It's just random, really. Shimizu is good for a season or two (his peak is ridiculous, but extremely brief), but is really just too damned short to compete in midfield. To the OP, if I were you, I'd get to work...

Walcott, Aguero, and Nani get up there, too. Drenthe and Jean are stupid fast for defenders.

Huddlestone, Denilson, Camacho, Lucas, Bradley (American or British), Gambino, Duffy, Kaiser all work well as DMF. Heitenga is great as well, but can be expensive.

He has a fairly long peak in the 90-92 range, iirc, and can play any number of midfield positions. Well worth the money, particularly in the DMF role.
