INTRODUCTION: Hello, and welcome to the thread. The purpose of this thread is to provide players with information on the development curves of players in the master league who's stats will improve. Every single player in the game (except classic, shop and Master League Youth players) was examined to see how high his development potential is. If that player's development did not exceed 85, he will not be on the list. Therefore, if a player isn't on the list, he doesn't develop well. End of. There are a number of different ways this thread can be used to take full advantage of it as a resource. General tips on using The Guide:

Elite Goalkeepers:
Club: Chelsea Positions: GK Foot/Side: L+L&R Special Abilities: Penalty Stopper, 1-1 Stopper Height: 197cm Current Age/Ability: 24/90 Peak Age/Ability: 28/94 Notes: Line, 94 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: He is already one of the best on the game if not the best with his default stats at the age of just 24. Things can only get better. He more or less catches everything that is shot at him. No joke. He is simply amazing. Unstoppable.
Club: Le Mans Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: 1-On-1 Stopper Height: 196cm Current Age/Ability: 23/84 Peak Age/Ability: 30/92 Notes: Peak, above 90 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: This guy is a great keeper and probably one of the best after a few years. He's done pretty well for me, although he did seem to be dodgy in his second year. He develops into a quality keeper pulling off some awesome reflex saves. His height helps a lot as well as having the '1 on 1 stopper' special ability star.
Club: Ajax Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 194cm Current Age/Ability: 24/83 Peak Age/Ability: 29/92 Notes: Peak, stays above 90 for 4 seasons from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: One of the top Goalkeepers of the game. Starts off with good stats, and then he develops o that his stats become incredible stats. Has good agility, even though his stats might not suggest it, and is a very commanding player in the air. Not to mention an excellent shot stopper, a great goalkeeper to have in your team
Club: Man City Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 183cm Current Age/Ability: 19/78 Peak Age/Ability: 30/92 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 35. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: Not the best of goalkeepers at first, being prone to a few mistakes and not reaching enough shots. But, he has an incredibly high development curve and becomes a great all-round goalkeeper by his mid-late twenties, following in his fathers' illustrious footsteps. Blurb 2: This young Danish keeper is an essential asset later on into your ML campaign. It does take him a while (and I use this term loosely) for him to start developing substantially, but when he peaks, he is probably the best GK in the game. He has been my GK cover for just one season, and is already pushing for an XI place. Can he follow in his father's footsteps? Most definitely.
Club: Espanyol Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 183cm Current Age/Ability: 20/78 Peak Age/Ability: 29/92 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 26 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb: Already a top quality goalkeeper when you first sign him, and goes from strength to strength. Doesn't need to be your first choice straight away, but is quite capable of doing so. Hardly ever fatigues unlike some other 'keepers so you can use Biel match after match, after match. This means you have a good chance of not conceding a goal, no matter what fixture you are in. The young Spaniard is a great shot stopper and in my own experiences with him, is never prone to any mistakes. Would be a great signing for any team.
Club: PSV Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Penalty Stopper Height: 191cm Current Age/Ability: 25/85 Peak Age/Ability: 29/91 Notes: Line, stays at 91 from age 29 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A very solid goalkeeper, good all round and does not fumble the ball often. His best strength is his reaction saves. His stats prove his reactions and when he reaches peak he can be unstoppable, a big and very reliable figure at the back. The new Dida.
Team: South Korea Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: 1-on-1 Stopper Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 23/80 Peak Age/Ability: 29/91 Notes: Peak, above 89 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: KYK can be a good keeper to pick up early in your ML as he's not registered to a club and may come cheap. His development also occurs pretty rapidly (11 pts. in 6 years). However, he seems to play smaller than he is, he's definitely not the physical presence you get with larger keepers. He does have the 1-on-1 stopper ability, but it doesn't seem to factor into his play as much as some other keepers with that ability. But given the proper circumstances he can be a very serviceable keeper for your club.
Club: Roma Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 191cm Current Age/Ability: 21/82 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Line, stays at 90 from age 28 to 33. Picture: N/A Blurb: Good goalkeeper who does the job. Good development curve and will give you years at his peak but his jump isn't great and neither are his keeper skills. The rest of his stats are really good though, and is definitely worth the money.
Club: Sporting Lisbon Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 18/77 Peak Age/Ability: 27/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 24 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A very young 'keeper with masses of potential. I wouldn't put him straight into your first team when you first purchase him, as his stats are very average for a few seasons. A good back up nonetheless. Rui Patricio eventually develops into a world class keeper with good all round stats.
Team: Germany Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: 1-on-1 Stopper Height: 185cm Current Age/Ability: 27/87 Peak Age/Ability: 31/90 Notes: Peak, above 88 from age 29 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb: A quality keeper capable of quick reaction saves. Starts off with high stats, can be your first team keeper from the start of your ML, 1-on-1 stop star seems to help him take the ball off the feet of strikers on a break. Gives you four or five years of quality service if you're also developing a younger keeper (Wolf, Fredderikson, etc.). Also seems to heighten his condition/play for Cup games.
Team: Switzerland Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 193cm Current Age/Ability: 23/79 Peak Age/Ability: 29/90 Notes: Peak, above 88 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: This keeper could turn out to be one of your best buys. Is a very good keeper from the start, but as he gradually reaches his peak his reflexes become immense and his handling is very reliable. An overall great shot stopper but could be a bit flatfooted when you first buy him.
Club: Sochaux Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+RL&R Special Abilities: None Height: 182cm Current Age/Ability: 20/77 Peak Age/Ability: 29/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Takes a while to reach his full potential, and can be very shaky when you first buy him. Is an overall superb shot stopper though, and when you have played a few seasons with him is also very agile and reliable. Maybe use him as a back up keeper for the first couple of seasons of your Master League.
Club: Marseille Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 190cm Current Age/Ability: 20/77 Peak Age/Ability: 29/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A young keeper with a lot of potential. I haven’t had that much experience with him yet but he looks quite solid. His curve gets to 91 eventually so he will become one of the best keepers in the game. What some people might consider a downside is that he isn’t really a diver, at least not in my eyes. He seems to just keep standing on his feet but he still manages to keep most of the balls out of the net.
Club: Charlton Positions: GK Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: None Height: 186cm Current Age/Ability: 19/77 Peak Age/Ability: 29/90 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 26 to 33. Picture: N/A Blurb: A great keeper with a good curve. He is great at shot stopping for me. He is not the tallest of keepers so he is vulnerable to crosses that are put into the box. Randolph is quite good at saving penalties for me even though he hasn't got any special ability stars. It takes quite a bit of time to fully develop, but keep faith in him and he will repay you with great saves. He has quite a low salary at the start of the game and he is quite likely to come to your club. This message was edited by TVI on Apr 27 2007. ------------------- | |

Elite Defence:
Club: Ajax Positions: CB, CWP, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Marking, Sliding Tackles, Defensive Line Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 22/82 Peak Age/Ability: 29/92 Notes: Peak, above 89 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A great defender. Can play anywhere across the defence, and wherever you play him, he'll perform for you all the time. However, partnered with Kompany at the Centre, and, with a bit of patience, you will have one of the strongest central defences you can possibly have. Good in air, quick, can tackle, a great player all around. Can also hack it in DMF too.
Club: Roma Positions: CB, WB, SB, CWP Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Middle Shooting, Penalties, Marking, Covering, D-Line Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 26/84 Peak Age/Ability: 30/91 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 35. Picture: N/A Blurb: The best all-round defender in the game. He is still the captain of my team at 32 and still plays every single game. He has amazing technical abilities, has an awesome long-range shot, awesome freekicking abilities and a special ability star for penalties. What more could you want?
Club: Middlesbrough Positions: CMF, CB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 17/73 Peak Age/Ability: 26/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 26 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: Very good in either centre back or centre midfield. He is a very good defensive player who can run about like a steam engine all game long. Distributes the ball well in midfield but is prone to making mistakes occasionally.
Club: Chelsea Positions: CMF, CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Centre Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 23/84 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: This guy is a perfect midfielder who has a balance of stats and a bit of everything. He is a right beast when it comes to defending and attacking whether it's crunching tackles or pile drivers from 30 yards. He's probably best at CMF, getting foward and back which is helped by his stamina which hits above 95. This keeps him going forever.
Club: Tottenham Positions: CMF, CB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 19/75 Peak Age/Ability: 26/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 26 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb: A fantastic midfield player. Huddlestone is the sort of player who can take games by the scruff of the neck and completely boss them for you. Highly recommended. One downside is that he takes many years before his curve starts to go up significantly, so he is one for the future. In 2013 when he has reached his peak, he is nigh on unstoppable in the middle though.
Team: Belgium Positions: CWP, CB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Outside, Covering Height: 190cm Current Age/Ability: 20/78 Peak Age/Ability: 30/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 87 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: This man isn’t just a defender – he is the complete footballer. At his peak, Kompany has the vast majority of his stats in the yellow, and many more in the orange or red. He is cool and collected in defence, much like Rio Ferdinand at his best, and on several occasions has burst forward and provided me with vital goals and assists. His height and balance make him a vital player at defending set piece. However, he takes an awfully long time to reach his peak, but this is compensated for by the fact that you can improve above and beyond it.
Club: Empoli Positions: CB, SB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: None Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 20/75 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A strong, steady defender who you could consider the next Nesta or Cannavaro. Can be a bit unreliable when you first buy him and can be a victim of fatigue. But when he reaches his peak becomes a powerful character that is also very dominant in the air. Is also favourite in most one on one situations.
Club: Deportivo Positions: CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Marking Height: 183cm Current Age/Ability: 24/79 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, 88 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Exceptionally talented defender who can play CB, SB, and even DM. Great strength on the ground and in the air, he is hard to leave off the team sheet. This Argentine can dominate a game and rarely gets bested. He's young and will become a vitally important member of your squad in the future and the present.
Club: Man City Positions: CB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 186cm Current Age/Ability: 18/76 Peak Age/Ability: 25/88 Notes: Line, 88 from age 25 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: A big, strong young centre back that gets strong enough to bully even the most resilient attackers off the ball and win aerial challenges comfortably. Fits into any team very nicely. Blurb 2: A player very much in the mould of Coloccini, in that he can play CB or RB comfortably due to his high speed stats as well as Defence and Body Balance. Grows at a steady rate for many years and turns into excellent captain material. Never under performs, does exactly what is expected of him consistently.
Club: Messina Positions: SB, CB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Marking, Long Throw Height: 182cm Current Age/Ability: 22/77 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, stays at 88 from age 27 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: A big, fast SB who is also very good at passing. An excellent set-piece defender as well, mainly thanks to his height and strength. He is a good ball winner too. Due to his size and speed, not much gets past him and he positions himself very well.
Club: Barcelona Positions: CB, CWB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Covering, Defensive Line Height: 182cm Current Age/Ability: 27/83 Peak Age/Ability: 30/88 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb: The big Mexican is a good CB and a fairly solid DMF. His lack of pace sometimes lets him down, but overall his strength and reaction make up for it. The downside is the fact that he plays for Barcelona and they are unlikely to let him go early on and by the time they do want to sell him he is usually past his peak.
Club: Anderlecht Positions: CB, SB, DMF, WB, CMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Outside Height: 185cm Current Age/Ability: 19/77 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 86 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Borre turns out to be a fantastic defender. He can play anywhere across the back four and is even handy in midfield, particularly due to his decent shot power. In my opinion he plays best at right back where he can show off his good passing skills and he also develops into a fast player who is good with the ball at his feet. He also plays best at right back because he isn’t a very good header of the ball, and at 185cm he should be winning more balls in the air. But apart from his heading he is a must have in any team.
Club: Man City Positions: SB, CB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Long Throw Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 18/75 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 26 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: Onuoha is probably the quickest defender in the master league, with his top speed and acceleration stats reaching 98 for me before he had even got to his peak. He combines this speed with an excellent game reading ability, which makes him one of the most effective defenders you can have. He is always popping up in the right place at the right time to prevent attacks, and his pace makes him a constant threat when he bursts forwards to join attacks.
Team: Wales Positions: CB, SB Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: None Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 18/75 Peak Age/Ability: 28/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 25 to31. Picture: N/A Blurb: If you’re willing to persevere with this lad, he becomes one of the best defenders in the game. Some might see the amount of time he takes to reach his peak as a disadvantage, but it allows you to get him far above it if you play him regularly. He is a player very similar in style and ability to Kompany.
Team: Angola Positions: CB, SB, WB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 21/78 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good defender who can play CB and RB. He is fast, has good balance and has a lot of stamina. Many people may overlook him but he really is a solid young defender good enough for almost any team.
Club: Brugge Positions: CB, CF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 19/74 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: A player who might has the most irritating curve to be found. It takes a lifetime for him to get to his peak. When he does reach his peak he's one of the better defenders of the game. His strength, header and body balance are his good points. He's also the kind of person that will be the defence's leader. Blurb 2: A player who's versatility is often underestimated. The ability to change him from a CB to CF is extremely useful, especially as he can dominate in either position. His height, aerial ability, shooting stats, speed, stamina and attack/defence ratio make him a real threat in either position, as well as a great all round performer. And he only gets better with age.
Club: Newcastle Positions: CB, SB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Marking, Sliding Tackles Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 20/75 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good, strong CB who has no trouble executing a tackle at the right time. The only flaw is the fact that he needs time to control some balls, which sometimes results in a goal for the opposition His long curve might pose a bit of a problem as it takes 9 years for him to get to his peak. A good buy though when you're in need of a tough CB.
Club: Ajax Positions: CB, CWP, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Marking, Sliding Tackles, Defensive Line Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 22/82 Peak Age/Ability: 29/92 Notes: Peak, above 89 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A great defender. Can play anywhere across the defence, and wherever you play him, he'll perform for you all the time. However, partnered with Kompany at the Centre, and, with a bit of patience, you will have one of the strongest central defences you can possibly have. Good in air, quick, can tackle, a great player all around. Can also hack it in DMF too.
Club: Bayern Munich Positions: AMF, SB, WB, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Reaction, Middle Shooting Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 22/81 Peak Age/Ability: 28/91 Notes: Peak, stays above 89 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A true utility player. Stick him anywhere in midfield, and he'll do the job for you (except DMF). He is a brilliant attacking right back too, joins in with every attack, that's why you see him being played there more and more. A great player. Also, he has the Middle Shooting star, which enables him to take brilliant long range shots.
Club: Chelsea Positions: CMF, CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Centre Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 23/84 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: This guy is a perfect midfielder who has a balance of stats and a bit of everything. He is a right beast when it comes to defending and attacking whether it's crunching tackles or pile drivers from 30 yards. He's probably best at CMF, getting foward and back which is helped by his stamina which hits above 95. This keeps him going forever.
Club: Portsmouth Positions: WB, SB Foot/Side: L+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 178cm Current Age/Ability: 24/77 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A quick, dependable player with a good curve, which he can easily surpass. If you can get him up field, he will deliver some very good crosses. Other than that, he is a general good SB who can't handle fast SMFs very well.
Club: Sevilla Positions: SB, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Side Height: 172cm Current Age/Ability: 22/79 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 26 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: Fast and dependable with a good curve, but he never stands out. Not reliable as a centre-back on the field because he is small with a normal body balance. However, he can handle the best of SMF/WF. Follows his curve easily. Blurb 2: This Brazilian youngster is the prototype Brazilian attacking side back. Great pace and skill allows him to become one of the best SB’s in the game. Can get up and down the flank and help out in attack, but still attends to his defensive duties and is difficult to break down. Added bonus is that he is comfortable on the Right or Left of your defence, making him a useful player to any team.
Club: Benfica Positions: SB, WB, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Side, Long Throw Height: 171cm Current Age/Ability: 23/80 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A real powerhouse of a full back with good stamina and great balance. He is more than a match for most wingers but it could be argued he lacks crossing ability and his passing is often poor. Overall a good back up for any team, and could be a good regular if developed well.
Club: Empoli Positions: CB, SB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: None Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 20/75 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A strong, steady defender who you could consider the next Nesta or Cannavaro. Can be a bit unreliable when you first buy him and can be a victim of fatigue. But when he reaches his peak becomes a powerful character that is also very dominant in the air. Is also favourite in most one on one situations.
Club: Marseille Positions: SB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: None Height: 182cm Current Age/Ability: 20/75 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: This speedy right back plays for Olympique Marseille. He is a good dribbler and great at going forward. However, he isn’t really good at defending. Still, he will develop into an awesome player. He will be the younger and better version of legendary Brazilian fullback, Cafu.
Club: Deportivo Positions: CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Marking Height: 183cm Current Age/Ability: 24/79 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, 88 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Exceptionally talented defender who can play CB, SB, and even DM. Great strength on the ground and in the air, he is hard to leave off the team sheet. This Argentine can dominate a game and rarely gets bested. He's young and will become a vitally important member of your squad in the future and the present.
Team: West Ham Positions: CMF, SB, SMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Reaction, Middle Shooting, Sliding Tackles Height: 175cm Current Age/Ability: 22/77 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, 88 from age 27 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: An essential CMF for new developing teams. After a few years he will score some great goals from range, has a Shot power of 95+ after 3/4 years. Great player for a cheap price, if you’re lucky.
Club: Messina Positions: SB, CB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Marking, Long Throw Height: 182cm Current Age/Ability: 22/77 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, stays at 88 from age 27 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: A big, fast SB who is also very good at passing. An excellent set-piece defender as well, mainly thanks to his height and strength. He is a good ball winner too. Due to his size and speed, not much gets past him and he positions himself very well.
Club: Espanyol Positions: CMF, SB, SMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: None Height: 174cm Current Age/Ability: 21/76 Peak Age/Ability: 26/88 Notes: Line, 88 from age 26 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb: Versatile, a natural-born leader and well balanced, Zabaleta will quickly become a leading member of anyone's ML squad. Rifling shots and passes, coupled with his sheer athleticism and teamwork ability make him one of the most influential prospects on the game. Highly recommended.
Club: Anderlecht Positions: CB, SB, DMF, WB, CMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Outside Height: 185cm Current Age/Ability: 19/77 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 86 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Borre turns out to be a fantastic defender. He can play anywhere across the back four and is even handy in midfield, particularly due to his decent shot power. In my opinion he plays best at right back where he can show off his good passing skills and he also develops into a fast player who is good with the ball at his feet. He also plays best at right back because he isn’t a very good header of the ball, and at 185cm he should be winning more balls in the air. But apart from his heading he is a must have in any team.
Club: Manchester City Positions: SB, CB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Long Throw Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 18/75 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 26 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: Onuoha is probably the quickest defender in the master league, with his top speed and acceleration stats reaching 98 for me before he had even got to his peak. He combines this speed with an excellent game reading ability, which makes him one of the most effective defenders you can have. He is always popping up in the right place at the right time to prevent attacks, and his pace makes him a constant threat when he bursts forwards to join attacks.
Team: Angola Positions: CB, SB, WB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 21/78 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good defender who can play CB and RB. He is fast, has good balance and has a lot of stamina. Many people may overlook him but he really is a solid young defender good enough for almost any team.
Club: Newcastle Positions: CB, SB Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Marking, Sliding Tackles Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 20/75 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good, strong CB who has no trouble executing a tackle at the right time. The only flaw is the fact that he needs time to control some balls, which sometimes results in a goal for the opposition His long curve might pose a bit of a problem as it takes 9 years for him to get to his peak. A good buy though when you're in need of a tough CB.
Club: Ajax Positions: CB, CWP, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Marking, Sliding Tackles, Defensive Line Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 22/82 Peak Age/Ability: 29/92 Notes: Peak, above 89 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A great defender. Can play anywhere across the defence, and wherever you play him, he'll perform for you all the time. However, partnered with Kompany at the Centre, and, with a bit of patience, you will have one of the strongest central defences you can possibly have. Good in air, quick, can tackle, a great player all around. Can also hack it in DMF too.
Club: Bayern Munich Positions: AMF, SB, WB, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Reaction, Middle Shooting Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 22/81 Peak Age/Ability: 28/91 Notes: Peak, stays above 89 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A true utility player. Stick him anywhere in midfield, and he'll do the job for you (except DMF). He is a brilliant attacking right back too, joins in with every attack, that's why you see him being played there more and more. A great player. Also, he has the Middle Shooting star, which enables him to take brilliant long range shots.
Club: Roma Positions: CB, WB, SB, CWP Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Middle Shooting, Penalties, Marking, Covering, D-Line Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 26/84 Peak Age/Ability: 30/91 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 35. Picture: N/A Blurb: The best all-round defender in the game. He is still the captain of my team at 32 and still plays every single game. He has amazing technical abilities, has an awesome long-range shot, awesome freekicking abilities and a special ability star for penalties. What more could you want?
Club: Tottenham Positions: SMF, SB, WB Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: None Height: 183cm Current Age/Ability: 20/77 Peak Age/Ability: 26/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 26 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: A very left footed player who can play at both left back and left midfield. Has very good dribbling ability and as the years progress he starts to develop a bit of pace. After my experiences with Ziegler I wouldn't advise you to play him at left back, as I always found he drifts frustratingly out of position, which can create space for the opposing team. I would stick with him in midfield. He is also a good crosser of the ball and also has a fairly good shot on him.
Club: Charlton Positions: SB Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: None Height: 175cm Current Age/Ability: 19/75 Peak Age/Ability: 26/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 26 to 29, above 85 from age 25 to 32 Picture: N/A Blurb: Ashton is a superb alternative to the often over-used Jeremie Matheiu at left back in the Master League. Not only is Nathan a fantastic defender, he never misses an opportunity to join attacks. The new Ashley Cole.
Club: Portsmouth Positions: WB, SB Foot/Side: L+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 178cm Current Age/Ability: 24/77 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A quick, dependable player with a good curve, which he can easily surpass. If you can get him up field, he will deliver some very good crosses. Other than that, he is a general good SB who can't handle fast SMFs very well.
Club: Chelsea Positions: CMF, CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Centre Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 23/84 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: This guy is a perfect midfielder who has a balance of stats and a bit of everything. He is a right beast when it comes to defending and attacking whether it's crunching tackles or pile drivers from 30 yards. He's probably best at CMF, getting foward and back which is helped by his stamina which hits above 95. This keeps him going forever.
Club: Sevilla Positions: SB, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Side Height: 172cm Current Age/Ability: 22/79 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 26 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: Fast and dependable with a good curve, but he never stands out. Not reliable as a centre-back on the field because he is small with a normal body balance. However, he can handle the best of SMF/WF. Follows his curve easily. Blurb 2: This Brazilian youngster is the prototype Brazilian attacking side back. Great pace and skill allows him to become one of the best SB’s in the game. Can get up and down the flank and help out in attack, but still attends to his defensive duties and is difficult to break down. Added bonus is that he is comfortable on the Right or Left of your defence, making him a useful player to any team.
Club: Benfica Positions: SB, WB, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Side, Long Throw Height: 171cm Current Age/Ability: 23/80 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A real powerhouse of a full back with good stamina and great balance. He is more than a match for most wingers but it could be argued he lacks crossing ability and his passing is often poor. Overall a good back up for any team, and could be a good regular if developed well.
Club: Toulouse Positions: SB, DMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Reaction, Passing, Middle Shooting, Outside Height: 190cm Current Age/Ability: 22/81 Peak Age/Ability: 26/88 Notes: Line, from age 26 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: One of the greats of Pro Evolution Soccer’s Master League, Matheiu is just as good as everyone says. Playing in any of his registered positions, he will dominate games for you, be it with his forceful attacking play as a left back, or with his brutal tackling and pinpoint passing as a holding midfielder. One of his main assets is his deadly accuracy from freekicks, and his ability to bury any almost any shot from range that falls to his left boot. Blurb 2: Fast, strong, dependable, good body balance, tall, great ball winner, large stamina, great passing ability, great long passing ability and immense free kick stats sums up Matthieu. In his later years, he'll smash through his development curve and will be better in a DMF position so that he can contribute more to the game. He is also a rare gem in that he is left footed. His attack stat is higher than his defensive stat though - not a bad thing unless you want a purely defensive SB, but this can be fixed by using arrows and setting him as a CB.
Club: Sochaux Positions: SB Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: None Height: 187cm Current Age/Ability: 21/75 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, from age 27 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: Bühler is a left back who doesn’t really excel in any particular department. He isn’t great at attacking or defending, but he is good in both. I suggest getting him early on and keeping him as your back up left back for a couple of seasons. In my opinion he needs quite some years to get good enough to play in your first team, but once he does get good enough he will probably be one of the best left backs in the game.
Club: Feyenoord Positions: SB, DMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: None Height: 167cm Current Age/Ability: 19/75 Peak Age/Ability: 26/88 Notes: Line, stays at 88 from age 26 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good LB, although it does take some time before he reaches his peak. Although he severely lacks height(167cm tall), he still gets the job done as a Fullback. He excels in stamina and top speed, which makes him good as an offensive sideback. Also, he has a weak foot accuracy and frequency of 8, so he can shoot and cross with both feet.
Team: Wales Positions: CB, SB Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: None Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 18/75 Peak Age/Ability: 28/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 25 to31. Picture: N/A Blurb: If you’re willing to persevere with this lad, he becomes one of the best defenders in the game. Some might see the amount of time he takes to reach his peak as a disadvantage, but it allows you to get him far above it if you play him regularly. He is a player very similar in style and ability to Kompany.
Club: St. Etienne Positions: SB, WB Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Sliding Tackles Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 24/77 Peak Age/Ability: 28/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: For me, Ilunga always played exceptionally well as a left back. He is capable of coming forward a lot and has a good cross. His free kick stats aren’t too bad either. His dribbling lets him down from time to time, but his ability to keep running game after game more than makes up for that.
Team: Angola Positions: CB, SB, WB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 21/78 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good defender who can play CB and RB. He is fast, has good balance and has a lot of stamina. Many people may overlook him but he really is a solid young defender good enough for almost any team.
Team: Croatia Positions: SMF, SB, DMF, WB, AMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Side, Outside Height: 186cm Current Age/Ability: 25/79 Peak Age/Ability: 30/88 Notes: Peak, above 86 from age 29 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: This adaptable midfielder is solidity personified. Comfortable tracking back or surging forward, he is blessed with a good level of all-round abilities, but particularly excels because he is an excellent dribbler, blessed with an abundance of pace, but is also possessed of great strength and balance. Also capable of unleashing howitzers with his left foot which will trouble any keeper. His flexibility makes him a must for any squad.
Club: Bayern Munich Positions: AMF, SB, WB, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Reaction, Middle Shooting Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 22/81 Peak Age/Ability: 28/91 Notes: Peak, stays above 89 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A true utility player. Stick him anywhere in midfield, and he'll do the job for you (except DMF). He is a brilliant attacking right back too, joins in with every attack, that's why you see him being played there more and more. A great player.

Club: Portsmouth Positions: WB, SB Foot/Side: L+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 178cm Current Age/Ability: 24/77 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A quick, dependable player with a good curve, which he can easily surpass. If you can get him up field, he will deliver some very good crosses. Other than that, he is a general good SB who can't handle fast SMFs very well.
Club: Benfica Positions: SB, WB, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Side, Long Throw Height: 171cm Current Age/Ability: 23/80 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A real powerhouse of a full back with good stamina and great balance. He is more than a match for most wingers but it could be argued he lacks crossing ability and his passing is often poor. Overall a good back up for any team, and could be a good regular if developed well.
Club: Anderlecht Positions: CB, SB, DMF, WB, CMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Outside Height: 185cm Current Age/Ability: 19/77 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 86 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Borre turns out to be a fantastic defender. He can play anywhere across the back four and is even handy in midfield, particularly due to his decent shot power. In my opinion he plays best at right back where he can show off his good passing skills and he also develops into a fast player who is good with the ball at his feet. He also plays best at right back because he isn’t a very good header of the ball, and at 185cm he should be winning more balls in the air. But apart from his heading he is a must have in any team.
Team: Angola Positions: CB, SB, WB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 21/78 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good defender who can play CB and RB. He is fast, has good balance and has a lot of stamina. Many people may overlook him but he really is a solid young defender good enough for almost any team.
Club: Bayern Munich Positions: SB, WB, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble Height: 170cm Current Age/Ability: 22/79 Peak Age/Ability: 26/87 Notes: Line, stays at 87 from age 26 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: A quick, strong sideback. Can break up-field along the wing at great pace, and support attacks very well. Very useful player. Blurb 2: Very agile player who has the pace to go up and down both flanks. He is also capable of making a good tackle. He is best (according to me) used in 4 - 3 - 3 strategy that's because of his pace he's quite capable of supporting an attack from the flanks. Great buy for beginning teams and players.
Team: Iran Positions: SB, WB, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Reaction Height: 163cm Current Age/Ability: 21/81 Peak Age/Ability: 26/87 Notes: Line, stays at 87 from age 26 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: Possibly the fastest player in the game for his price and salary. At his peak, he has decent passing, dribbling, stamina and pace. Supports the attack as a full-back superbly. Blurb 2: I recommend him highly. In PES5, he was my team captain at CM, always worked hard, tracked back, won the ball, spread the play and came up with some goals of his own. A quick player, even though some might see his height as a disadvantage. Very capable of playing on the sides, where you can utilize his pace to the maximum.
Team: Croatia Positions: WB, SB, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 182cm Current Age/Ability: 24/81 Peak Age/Ability: 29/87 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A great full-back who develops into a 'Cafu' like player. Excels in the wing back role more so than just the full back position because of his attacking nature down the right hand side and with his fairly quick pace and high dribbling accuracy. You can also trust Srna to retreat back to his right-back position when the opponent is in possession of the ball. An excellent Master League prospect that can definitely enhance the width of your side in both the attacking and defensive departments.
Club: Real Madrid Positions: WB, SB, SMF, CMF, AMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Dribble, Reaction, Middle Shooting, Outside, Long Throw Height: 171cm Current Age/Ability: 26/82 Peak Age/Ability: 30/87 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 29 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Another very versatile player who can handle positions anywhere on the park. I find him best used as a WB as when he is played further up the field his shooting and passing lets him. A good solid player if you can get him but you will find it hard to prise him away from Real Madrid.
Club: Roma Positions: CB, WB, SB, CWP Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Middle Shooting, Penalties, Marking, Covering, D-Line Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 26/84 Peak Age/Ability: 30/91 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 35. Picture: N/A Blurb: The best all-round defender in the game. He is still the captain of my team at 32 and still plays every single game. He has amazing technical abilities, has an awesome long-range shot, awesome freekicking abilities and a special ability star for penalties. What more could you want?

Elite Midfielders:
Club: Milan Positions: DMF, AMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Tactical Dribble, Playmaker, Passing, Middle shooting, Centre, Penalties, 1-Touch Passing, Outside Height: 177cm Current Age/Ability: 27/90 Peak Age/Ability: 30/93 Notes: Peak, stays above 92 from age 28 to 33. Picture: N/A Blurb: To begin with this guy is amazing from the start at default. He can play in a variety of positions. His passing and set pieces are one of, if not the best in the game. To get him even better I'd suggest getting him very early in the master league. CMF for him is my favoured position so that he can get back to make good tackles and also send great passes through to the fowards.
Club: Ajax Positions: CB, CWP, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Marking, Sliding Tackles, Defensive Line Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 22/82 Peak Age/Ability: 29/92 Notes: Peak, above 89 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A great defender. Can play anywhere across the defence, and wherever you play him, he'll perform for you all the time. However, partnered with Kompany at the Centre, and, with a bit of patience, you will have one of the strongest central defences you can possibly have. Good in air, quick, can tackle, a great player all around. Can also hack it in DMF too.
Club: Chelsea Positions: CMF, CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Centre Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 23/84 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: This guy is a perfect midfielder who has a balance of stats and a bit of everything. He is a right beast when it comes to defending and attacking whether it's crunching tackles or pile drivers from 30 yards. He's probably best at CMF, getting foward and back which is helped by his stamina which hits above 95. This keeps him going forever.
Club: Lille Positions: DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 175cm Current Age/Ability: 20/75 Peak Age/Ability: 29/90 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 27 to 33. Picture: N/A Blurb: A player who is overlooked by the majority of PES players and it should stay that way. I bought him expecting him to bolster up midfield with strength and maybe win a few aerial balls. After a few games I realised that I had made a mistake. Poor in the air and lacks dribbling skills. Cabaye is one of the so called good players who belies their stats. Avoid him.
Club: Real Betis Positions: DMF, CMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Playmaker, Centre, Outside Height: 178cm Current Age/Ability: 30/85 Peak Age/Ability: 33/90 Notes: Peak, stays above 86 from age 31 to 37. Picture: N/A Blurb: This Brazilian may be getting on a bit, but he still is still a quality player. Possess strength, positioning, and great passing ability which allows him to be a solid DM. He plays at a high level for a long period in his 30s allowing him to help you in your quest for trophies. Added bonus with him is that he is deadly from set pieces and possess a fierce shot.
Club: Man United Positions: AMF, DMF, CMF, SMF, WF, SS Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Reaction, Middle Shooting, Outside Height: 175cm Current Age/Ability: 25/84 Peak Age/Ability: 30/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 28 to 33. Picture: N/A Blurb: One of the best midfielders in the game due to his great ball control and all-round good stats. The main reason he is so effective is because he can play amazingly well in almost any position and is one of the best early buys for any master league team in the first year.
Club: Marseille Positions: CMF, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Passing Height: 172cm Current Age/Ability: 24/81 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Line, from age 29 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Dominating DMF/CMF. Completely dictates the tempo of the game and does so with strong tackling and precise passing. His height leads him to being an aerial threat and a great team player; he is everything you could ever want from a CMF. Can also score a few long-range screamers.
Club: Fiorentina Positions: CMF, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Playmaker, Centre, Sliding Tackles Height: 179cm Current Age/Ability: 23/78 Peak Age/Ability: 27/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 86 from age 26 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A fantastic playmaking midfielder. Some might call him a poor man’s Pirlo, but in my opinion he is at least as good. Solid in the tackle, accurate in the pass and with the ability to score goals. A complete midfielder.
Club: Roma Positions: CMF, AMF, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Reaction, Passing, Middle Shooting, Centre, Outside, Sliding Tackles Height: 184cm Current Age/Ability: 23/82 Peak Age/Ability: 30/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 36. Picture: N/A Blurb: Mr Consistent, De Rossi never puts a foot wrong. A typical box-to-box central midfielder, De Rossi excels in all areas of his game, whether it be in the air, passing, tackling, shooting or dribbling. And he only gets better as time progresses. He also does a good job in a holding role, where he effectively breaks up any potential attacking threats.
Club: Arsenal Positions: DMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: None Height: 178cm Current Age/Ability: 18/74 Peak Age/Ability: 29/89 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 27 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb: Denilson is one of the players who seems to play above his stats. From the beginning he is a lovely passer of the ball and has a good range and vision. He is best used at DMF where he can sit back and dictate the play, but be warned he is slow to develop and needs lots of first team football. That’s no big deal though, since he is definitely worthy of a starting place in all but the very best teams.
Club: Toulouse Positions: SB, DMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Reaction, Passing, Middle Shooting, Outside Height: 190cm Current Age/Ability: 22/81 Peak Age/Ability: 26/88 Notes: Line, from age 26 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: One of the greats of Pro Evolution Soccer’s Master League, Matheiu is just as good as everyone says. Playing in any of his registered positions, he will dominate games for you, be it with his forceful attacking play as a left back, or with his brutal tackling and pinpoint passing as a holding midfielder. One of his main assets is his deadly accuracy from freekicks, and his ability to bury any almost any shot from range that falls to his left boot. Blurb 2: Fast, strong, dependable, good body balance, tall, great ball winner, large stamina, great passing ability, great long passing ability and immense free kick stats sums up Matthieu. In his later years, he'll smash through his development curve and will be better in a DMF position so that he can contribute more to the game. He is also a rare gem in that he is left footed. His attack stat is higher than his defensive stat though - not a bad thing unless you want a purely defensive SB, but this can be fixed by using arrows and setting him as a CB.
Club: Deportivo Positions: CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Marking Height: 183cm Current Age/Ability: 24/79 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, 88 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Exceptionally talented defender who can play CB, SB, and even DM. Great strength on the ground and in the air, he is hard to leave off the team sheet. This Argentine can dominate a game and rarely gets bested. He's young and will become a vitally important member of your squad in the future and the present.
Club: Man City Positions: CB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 186cm Current Age/Ability: 18/76 Peak Age/Ability: 25/88 Notes: Line, 88 from age 25 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: A big, strong young centre back that gets strong enough to bully even the most resilient attackers off the ball and win aerial challenges comfortably. Fits into any team very nicely. Blurb 2: A player very much in the mould of Coloccini, in that he can play CB or RB comfortably due to his high speed stats as well as Defence and Body Balance. Grows at a steady rate for many years and turns into excellent captain material. Never under performs, does exactly what is expected of him consistently.
Club: Feyenoord Positions: SB, DMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: None Height: 167cm Current Age/Ability: 19/75 Peak Age/Ability: 26/88 Notes: Line, stays at 88 from age 26 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb: A good LB, although it does take some time before he reaches his peak. Although he severely lacks height(167cm tall), he still gets the job done as a Fullback. He excels in stamina and top speed, which makes him good as an offensive sideback. Also, he has a weak foot accuracy and frequency of 8, so he can shoot and cross with both feet.
Team: Norway Positions: DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Centre, Covering Height: 170cm Current Age/Ability: 22/78 Peak Age/Ability: 27/88 Notes: Line, stays at 88 from age 27 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: Becomes an awesome holding midfield player, almost Makelele-esque in game reading ability. Keeps the shape of the team well and is good at covering other positions. Can lose the ball sometimes in his earlier years but he can pick a pass out from anywhere. Always keeps the game flowing fluently with his passing. Good at winning the ball and has quite a good shot on him when he reaches his peak. Well worth a look for any team.
Club: Barcelona Positions: CB, CWP, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Covering, Defensive Line Height: 182cm Current Age/Ability: 27/83 Peak Age/Ability: 30/88 Notes: Peak, stays above 85 from age 28 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb: The big Mexican is a good CB and a fairly solid DMF. His lack of pace sometimes lets him down, but overall his strength and reaction make up for it. The downside is the fact that he plays for Barcelona and they are unlikely to let him go early on and by the time they do want to sell him he is usually past his peak.
Club: Groningen Positions: AMF, DMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Outside Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 21/78 Peak Age/Ability: 30/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 28 to 33. Picture: N/A Blurb: A versatile, solid midfielder. Not the sort of player who will dictate games for you, but he is an excellent team member and would make a great addition to most squads. Though equally comfortable in any of his registered positions, I prefer to use him as a winger where his deadly passing accuracy can be felt at its fullest.
Club: Besikstas Positions: AMF, DMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Playmaker, Centre, 1-Touch Passing, Outside Height: 175cm Current Age/Ability: 27/81 Peak Age/Ability: 30/88 Notes: Peak, above 85 from age 29 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb: This former United flop is one of the real hidden gems of the Master League. He is an extremely versatile player who can play anywhere in midfield and even at WB and SB at a pinch. His stats also reflect this and they are very well balanced. But beware get him early or he will be snapped up by bigger teams. He might have failed at Manchester United in real life, but on this game at least, he shows the sort of qualities that made him a world cup winner in 2002.
Club: Anderlecht Positions: CB, SB, DMF, WB, CMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Outside Height: 185cm Current Age/Ability: 19/77 Peak Age/Ability: 29/88 Notes: Peak, above 86 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: Borre turns out to be a fantastic defender. He can play anywhere across the back four and is even handy in midfield, particularly due to his decent shot power. In my opinion he plays best at right back where he can show off his good passing skills and he also develops into a fast player who is good with the ball at his feet. He also plays best at right back because he isn’t a very good header of the ball, and at 185cm he should be winning more balls in the air. But apart from his heading he is a must have in any team.
Team: Japan Positions: AMF, DMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Playmaker, Passing Height: 175cm Current Age/Ability: 27/81 Peak Age/Ability: 30/88 Notes: Peak, above 86 from age 30 to 34. Picture: N/A Blurb: This players main strength is his striking of the ball. With both feet Shinji Ono can pick out a pass, be it through the air or along the ground. Can play everywhere in midfield and anyone with a weak foot accuracy like his is an asset to whatever team he plays in. However, his injury tolerance of ‘C’ means he often misses games due to picking up niggling injuries, and can often end up spending large parts of the season on the sidelines.
Team: Croatia Positions: SMF, SB, DMF, WB, AMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Side, Outside Height: 186cm Current Age/Ability: 25/79 Peak Age/Ability: 30/88 Notes: Peak, above 86 from age 29 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: This adaptable midfielder is solidity personified. Comfortable tracking back or surging forward, he is blessed with a good level of all-round abilities, but particularly excels because he is an excellent dribbler, blessed with an abundance of pace, but is also possessed of great strength and balance. Also capable of unleashing howitzers with his left foot which will trouble any keeper. His flexibility makes him a must for any squad.
Club: Man United Positions: CF, CMF, SMF, AMF, SS Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Positioning, Reaction, Scoring, Post Player, 1-Touch Passing, Sliding Tackles Height: 178cm Current Age/Ability: 25/84 Peak Age/Ability: 29/94 Notes: Line, 94 from age 29 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: The best striker in the game. With amazing body balance, shot power, shot accuracy, short pass speed/accuracy, header accuracy and jump, long pass speed/accuracy, agility, speed, acceleration and a myriad of stars, he is an amazing investment. Due to his affinity for scoring piles of goals, expect him to surpass his development curve. Due to his body balance and relatively good height, he can support formations such as 4-5-1 but also prospers from assists in 4-3-3.
Team: Turkey Positions: AMF, CMF Foot/Side: L+L&R Special Abilities: Reaction, Passing, Centre, Outside Height: 179cm Current Age/Ability: 17/79 Peak Age/Ability: 27/94 Notes: Line, stays at 94 from age 27 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: Nuri never really did it for me. He takes an age to get to his peak admittedly, but he just seemed to lack the quickness of thought to be a great central midfielder. Did show flashes of brilliance and a lot of promise though.
Team: Netherlands Positions: AMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Tactical Dribble, Passing, Middle Shooting, 1-Touch Passing, Outside Height: 175cm Current Age/Ability: 23/86 Peak Age/Ability: 28/93 Notes: Line, stays at 93 from age 28 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: For me, the #1 choice as an AMF in the game. On my ML, he has attack, response, all passing stats, shot acc/tech, freekick acc/swerve and technique all at 95 or higher. He lacks a bit of pace but, if you train him on speed in the off season you can still get his speed to the high 80-ies. If you get him early on and play him most games, he can become even better than Ronaldinho.
Club: Arsenal Positions: CMF, SMF, AMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Tactical Dribble, Reaction, Pass, Middle Shooting, Outside Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 19/80 Peak Age/Ability: 30/93 Notes: Peak, stays above 90 from age 27 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: Average CMF during his early years and never first team worthy at a big club. However, his stats do eventually get better, and he develops into the best aggressive CMF in the game.
Club: Bayern Munich Positions: AMF, SB, WB, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Reaction, Middle Shooting Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 22/81 Peak Age/Ability: 28/91 Notes: Peak, stays above 89 from age 27 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: A true utility player. Stick him anywhere in midfield, and he'll do the job for you (except DMF). He is a brilliant attacking right back too, joins in with every attack, that's why you see him being played there more and more. A great player. Also, he has the Middle Shooting star, which enables him to take brilliant long range shots.
Club: Groningen Positions: AMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+R Special Abilities: Middle Shooting, Sliding Tackles Height: 189cm Current Age/Ability: 24/80 Peak Age/Ability: 29/91 Notes: Peak, above 88 from age 28 to 32. Picture: N/A Blurb: A great playmaking midfield enforcer, in the same vein as Steven Gerrard. Blessed with superb strength, passing and technique, Lovre is a superbly gifted player. He is adept at splitting defences apart with his accurate passing, as well as chipping in with vital goals.
Club: PSV Positions: AMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Tactical Dribble, Passing, Centre, Outside Height: 174cm Current Age/Ability: 18/79 Peak Age/Ability: 23/90 Notes: Line, stays at 90 from age 23 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb 1: The new Clarence Seedorf. What a player this guy is. He may not be the quickest (though 90 top speed and 95 acceleration at his peak is certainly not to be sniffed at), but his immensely precise dribbling and excellent teamwork ability more than compensate for it. He is also a great goalscorer. A brilliant addition to any team. Blurb 2: Assiati is a fantastic midfield player from the Netherlands. Blessed with superb technique he is a great dribbler with great speed. Can get into the box and score. A young player who develops quickly he will be hard to leave off your team sheet.
Club: Middlesbrough Positions: CMF, CB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 181cm Current Age/Ability: 17/73 Peak Age/Ability: 26/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 26 to 30. Picture: N/A Blurb: Very good in either centre back or centre midfield. He is a very good defensive player who can run about like a steam engine all game long. Distributes the ball well in midfield but is prone to making mistakes occasionally.
Club: Chelsea Positions: CMF, CB, SB, DMF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Centre Height: 180cm Current Age/Ability: 23/84 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 28 to 31. Picture: N/A Blurb: This guy is a perfect midfielder who has a balance of stats and a bit of everything. He is a right beast when it comes to defending and attacking whether it's crunching tackles or pile drivers from 30 yards. He's probably best at CMF, getting foward and back which is helped by his stamina which hits above 95. This keeps him going forever.
Club: Tottenham Positions: CMF, CB Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: None Height: 188cm Current Age/Ability: 19/75 Peak Age/Ability: 26/90 Notes: Line, 90 from age 26 to 29. Picture: N/A Blurb: A fantastic midfield player. Huddlestone is the sort of player who can take games by the scruff of the neck and completely boss them for you. Highly recommended. One downside is that he takes many years before his curve starts to go up significantly, so he is one for the future. In 2013 when he has reached his peak, he is nigh on unstoppable in the middle though.
Club: Newcastle Positions: AMF, CMF, SMF Foot/Side: L+L Special Abilities: Dribble, Middle Shooting, Outside Height: 170cm Current Age/Ability: 20/81 Peak Age/Ability: 28/90 Notes: Peak, above 88 from age 25 to 31. Picture: N/A
Team: South Africa Positions: SMF, CMF, AMF, WF Foot/Side: R+L&R Special Abilities: Dribble, Reaction, Side Height: 176cm Current Age/Ability: 24/83 Peak Age/Ability: 29/90 Notes: Peak, above 87 from age 27 to 33. Picture:< | |
