Your best 11

Da Bounca

Who is on your master league team?

At the moment im playing a 3-4-3 formation.
I also have a few young players as they are going to be excellent in a while, so bear that in mind.

In nets - Huber.
Right back - Maldini.
Centre back - Kolmann.
Left back - Vomme.
Defensive Midfield - Froequertoli.
Right Midfield - Warol.
Left Midfield - Burnolen.
Offensive Midfield - Gulaas. (Ruud Gullitt)
Right Forward - Malgani. (Maradona)
Left Forward - Benuki.
Centre Forward - Palm. (Pele)

I have a few decent subs and a few **** ones.
Decent subs : Griffiths, Kerzhakov, Sasaki, Bos, Kezman.
Crap subs : Ivarov, Jaric, Libermann.

I generally win anywhere from 2-0 to 5-0. Rarely concede a goal. Have it on the hardest difficulty also.

Well done.
Keep in mind the consensus is that 3 star is actually the toughest.

Oh. To be honest i hadnt noticed much of a differance between 3 and 5, just thought id point out the difficulty i was using.

Is that the boards.ie consensus?


Nice team slurms!

^ 3* seems to be a lot more attack minded then 5* or 6*. Mind you, it's easier to score against imho.
My new Master League team is something along these lines...
GK: Issakasson (sp? The Swedish keeper)
CB: Heitinga (Dutch)
CB: Colocini (Argie)
RB: Sergio Ramos (Spain)
LB: Mathieu (French)
DMF: Xavi (Spain)
CMF: Iniesta (Spain)
RMF: Joaquin (Spain)
LMF: Van Der Meyde (Dutch...get's ridiculously good, I was kind of surprised about that)
SS: Bojinov (Bulgarian)
CF: 'Nando Torres (Spain)
Best players on the bench:
SS: Messi (Argie...turns the formation into 4-3-3)
SMF: McGeedy (Sp?...Irish)
SMF: Vicente (Spain)
CF: Forlan (Uruguay? Sp?)
GK: Toldo (Italy)
CB: Perea (Colombian I think)

I use the Juve formation most of the time, with the exception of when I throw on Messi. I'm really sick of my old team. It's got all the big names, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Robinho, Puyol, Gerrard etc, etc. The problem with it is that all my mates teams are pretty much carbon copies of it, so I'm trying to make a team that's a little different.

No.

I much prefer playing with either lesser players or else plenty of rising stars. Maybe using one or two very decent players in one or two positions and then building a team of mediocrity around them, thats another interesting way to play, kind of like Southampton with Le Tissier or West Ham with Di Canio. One focal point and a lot of filler, makes things interesting.

Well i lost every game and in the the final game when i went gung ho to get Yakubu top scorer and get the goal bonus, lost 4-3 but he got the 3. Let Sheringham and about 5 other players go to get my salary down to 11k so i finished the season with 2k points in 4th.

Bought noone so the young kids i have doubled their stats last season now is the time for them to deliver

Now i need a new young left sided player with talent who is free

Currently on season 2012 and starting eleven

gk- stenkelberg
df-benedetti
df-motta
df-kruger
dmf-gerrard (C)
dmf-park ji sung
amf-schuster
amf-hoekstra
amf-joaquin
cf-rooney
cf-babel

subs incld
Boruc,wright philips,ronaldinho,robinho,luis enrique,vanden borre, duffy(yes duffy not duff),protti,fowler,owen,julian gray and a few others.

A good mixture of youth and experience. What i do is every time negotiations come up i do an advanced search for players aged 19-22 and try to purchase the better ones obviously. Ive had rooney,joaquin,schuster and park ji sung more or less since the beginning (season 2/3 like) and their development rates are thro the roofs. Babel i only got two seasons ago but he's thrown in about 30-40 goals already.

Joaquin would have to be my personal fav cos he contributes some timely and savage goals. And Robinho is an unreal sub to bring on, very good development in the early "building years" but still getting better.

Protti is an 18 year old with not great stats but has brilliant finishing and has scored hattricks against utd and inter milan for me on the few times ive thrown him in.

its funny though a lot of people play master league with the match mode players and not the default master league starting team. i made and Uber league to play in and the second division in which i started has all the next best teams in it. im only in my second season. I won promotion first time around on the last day of the season with a win I needed or else id go bankrupt. very tense.

still have the main team that you start with except my strikers are different.

i have

Bamogo at WF
Mirakenic at SS
Landroam(he is a legend of some kind. think its brian laudrup) at CF

no one else really yet. only just started my second season the other day. its tough. playing against all the best sides on 5* with a pants team is hard. had some cracking games though. won 2 drawn 5 and lost 2 so far.
