Fenech Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 maybe 17 is better Every player is researched in great depth and all the stats are taken into consideration, not just the finishing stat. I would consider moving it down to 18/19. 17 is too low for Zlatan coming into his prime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenech Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Update: Bob Paisley to return as a Liverpool Player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenech Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Bob Paisley the player as seen by Tim and Radar's STARTOON in 1947-8 "Bob Paisley, brilliant Liverpool left-half, first saw the light of day in the little Durham mining village of Hetton-le-hole. There isn’t a great deal of him - he is barely 5ft. 7 inch. in height – but is includes 11 st. of muscle and never-say-die spirit. The lad who never knows when to be beaten, Paisley took the eye of his games master as a natural footballer, and it was not long before he was rewarded with a place in the Durham County Schools’ side. Eventually, threw in his lot with with Bishop Auckland, the famous amateur team. They won the Amateur cup during his stay with them. Later he joined the ground staff at Wolverhampton under Major Frank Buckley, but he decided Paisley was too small. Manager Mr. George Kay, stepped in and brought Bob to Anfield. The war intervened and Bob joined an anti-tank regiment and served from Alamein to Italy with "Monty". It was during last season he grew into his own and made a regular place for himself in the Championship team. There is no greater-hearted player than Bob Paisley. He seems to thrive on hard knocks. Likes billiards and snooker, admits to "bowling a bit" at cricket. Wants a cup winners’ medal to add to his Championship "prize". Distantly related to Jack Hill, former Barnsley "pirot" and England captain. Married a Liverpool girl." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Citizen Kane, Kaka isnt the top player, It is currently Paolo Maldini, Nesta, Baresi, Pirlo, Rivera, Albertini etc.. Kaka is back when he was at his very best, which is of course one of any clubs top players... That said, clubs don't really have a top player, when it's AC Milan, they have many top players.

Fenech Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 REST IN PEACE! QUITE SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY THE GAME. WE HONOUR HIM TODAY. Cruyff was one of the most famous exponents of the football philosophy known as Total Football explored by Rinus Michels, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in football history. He led the Netherlands national team to the final of the 1974 FIFA World Cup and received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament. At club level, Cruyff started his career at Ajax where he won eight Eredivisie titles and three European Cups. In 1999, Cruyff was voted European Player of the Century in an election held by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics, and came second behind Pelé in their World Player of the Century poll. He was chosen on the World Team of the 20th Century in 1998, the FIFA World Cup Dream Team in 2002, and in 2004 was named in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players. Considered as one of the most influential figures in football history. "Johan Cruyff's miracles in Amsterdam were many. He and his coach Rinus Michels (a sort of John the Baptist figure) raised Ajax from obscurity. More important, they invented a new way of playing. Cruyff became the greatest exponent and teacher of totaalvoetbal [Total Football]. His vision of perfect movement and harmony on the field was rooted in the same sublime ordering of space that one sees in the pictures of Vermeer or church painter Pieter Jansz Saenredam. It was the music of the spheres on grass." David Winner, the author of Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football "I loved the Dutch in the ’70s, they excited me and Cruyff was the best. He was my childhood hero; I had a poster of him on my bedroom wall. He was a creator. He was at the heart of a revolution with his football. Ajax changed football and he was the leader of it all. If he wanted he could be the best player in any position on the pitch." Eric Cantona "He [Cruyff] was pretty intelligent, too! A real football brain. He had superb control, he was inventive and he could perform magic with a ball to get himself out of trouble instinctively. He got a lot of goals, and although he was so skilful, he didn’t show off – he played to the strengths of the players around him. This side would really keep hold of the ball." Bobby Charlton. Cruyff also perfected a move now known as the "Cruyff Turn." To do this move, Cruyff would look to pass or cross the ball. Instead of kicking it, he would drag the ball behind his planted foot with the inside of his other foot, turn through 180 degrees, and accelerate away outside a defender. He was simply "Pythagoras in boots", If he was a beer, he would of been a Carlsberg, because he was probably the best footballer in the world!

Fenech Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 UPDATE: * I will not be focussing so much on 25 man teams, there will be clubs with more than 25 players * The guarantee remains that the players will be at the clubs at the exact age they were at the club * The Age that a Legend or Star will be at the club will be between 14 - 25 years old. * 100% Accuracy in statistic coding due to extensive research & reports (nothing is left to chance unlike in the normal game) * 100% Accuracy in players who are eligible for club and home grown status * Values will be realistic and fair * Players will be available for sale from the start, but it is still up to the club if they want to sell and players if they want to leave * Youth players will simply be at their clubs, in the youth team, there will be no easy free transfers * More Legends & Stars than ever before! * More competition between clubs as Players are more spread out now however common sense will still prevail. * Due to the winter update only just being released, this will take time to create, but bear with me, I promise that it will be: * Player wages will be 100% accurate and dependant on ability * The Ultimate in-depth Accurate Legends game ever made * Well worth waiting for!!

Weezer Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I played your FM14 version of this and it was an incredibly detailed piece of work, looking forward to this update. As a Sheffield Wednesday fan I think your representation of their legends squad was pretty much perfect in that version so wouldn't have any issues with that being used for this one (that includes John Sheridan before Forest fans try to steal him, he's a Wednesday legend and they know it !). The only issue I did have, which I did actually bring up in your old thread I believe, is the inclusion of Glenn Whelan in the midfield. I suggested John Harkes as a possible replacement. Possibly, if he isn't already there as I can't remember, Carlton Palmer. Looking forward to managing Fred Spiksley and Tony Kay again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Messi in his prime, as he is now, or still some years younger? Like Cristiano Ronaldo is in his 30's now, but could be in his 20's, if you decide to do that. Like with Wesley Sneijder.

Kawee Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Can I take a shot at the ARsenal one? 1. David Seaman 2. Pat Jenning (might have to give him up for Spurs ) 3. Jack Kelsey/ Bob Wilson 4. Ashley Cole 5. Kenny Samsom 6. Eddie Hapgood 7. Pat Rice 8. Lee Dixon 9. David O'Leary 10. Tony Adams 11. Sol Campbell 12. Martin Keown/Steve Bould 13. Patick Vieira 14. Emmanuel Petit 15. Frank McLintock 16. Gilberto Silva 17. Robert Pires 18. Freddie Ljungberg 19. Liam Brady 20. Alex James 21. Cliff Bastin 22. Denis Bergkamp 23. Thierry Henry 24. Ted Drake 25. Ian Wright Well, that was a bit tougher than I thought. I tried to give the team as much balance as possible. With 25 players, I couldn't overload on the attacking department, where I've had to cut many of Arsenal legends like John Radford and Charlie Goerge. I also had to leave out cult heroes like Ray Parlour. In defense, I couldn't choose between Keown and Bould. Both fantastic in their own way. I have 9 defenders, and it would seem I have 3 LBs, and only 4 CBs. However, Eddie Hapgood was a fullback in the W-M formation, so he played far more like a back 3. A great defensive alternative to the marauding Ashley Cole. That's why I brought Kenny Samsom along as the 2nd LB (can't leave out someone with 87 caps, and 8 times PFA team of the YEar.) I also picked McLintock and Gilberto Silva, who are both very competent in defense, so there's plenty of cover back there. The inclusion of Gilberto Silva can be a controversial one, especially because there are so many legends left out. I mean, Keown could take his place, for example. However, I needed another DM, one who's style is different from the box2box nature of PV4 and Petit. Also, I think Gilberto Silva, although he has contributed less to Arsenal than many, Arsenal was still his main club, and he reached a height higher than any contender who has been left out. One of the few Arsenal players, who at their peak, was truly one of the World's best at their role. Attacking midfielders was a tough one. So many to choose from. I actually shortlisted 8 in my head at first, but obviously that would ruin the squad's balance. So, I end up with the 4 that I think provide different strengths. Pires is the wide playmaker. James is the dribbling wizard. Bastin was the wide left forward (3rd highest goal-scorer!) basically meaning I can't justify including Marc Overmars (probably belong with Ajax anyway.) And Ljungberg was the goal-scoring hard-working tenacious wide midfielder on the right. In attack, the choices for the 4 strikers were pretty easy to me, and fortunately, they all provided something a little different. Bergkamp was the more classic no.10. Drake was the classic no.9 penalty box player. Wright was the speed poacher. Henry was a complete forward (the 9.5 forwards, as they're sometimes called.) Cesc, had he stayed all this time, over 10 years with the club, and more than half of those as captain, would have made the squad. Alas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
