CM- Pirlo
CDM- Gattuso
CAM- Kakà
LM- Ribery
LW- Simao
RM- Schweinie
RW- Cronaldo

AriseForLife · 08-01-2009, 08:45 PM

Franck Ribery is not a LM, he's more CAM/LW than LM.

ILCaesar · 08-01-2009, 08:48 PM

Gattuso>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ambrosini

Scuba Steve · 08-01-2009, 08:49 PM

Weather130 · 08-01-2009, 09:47 PM

So if you used FIFA for positions, is this just the top 20 ranked players in FIFA for each position? If so then its not too much of a list then.

way too high. Don't know how he could have possibly been player of the year last year in scotland, must admit i rarely watch scotish football but the man is terrible for his national team, don't understand how he could be such a different player for celtic to be even considered the best in the league.

Sounds kinda like Gerrard and Lampard situation for England.

Each shines for their club but isn't too great on the international stage.
