anyone else think players like Robben, Iniesta and Vicente are underrated? vicente's attributes are good but i feel his balance and few of his mental stats should be higher. or at least his potential shoudl be higher than. iniesta is actually highly underrated and robben has like 14 for dribbling and finishing.

even baros is a tad underrated. the only reason they gave him such 'low' stats is coz he sucks for liverpool, but who doesnt? cept neil mellor that @#$@$%^#$!#$!

Robben is but his standout performances didn't come till after the game was released and the comments about Liverpool are a bit harsh Baros has scored over 10 goals so far. :p

Alot of the Australian players imo are underrated Kewell's are crap compared to what he is capable of and he doesn't improve much at all Emerton is also way better. :kader:

Also in Australia Kristian Sarkies is underrated, when Argentina U-20 and Australia U-20 he was the man of the match, and if he didn't got replaced, Australia surely would mantain the advantage.
He plays very well, his performance was very convincing and left all argentinian stunned.

Iniesta is way Underrated, so Messi, so Robben (well, 50% Chelsea is underrated, but is a compensation compared to his infinite cash) and many others youngster all over Europe.

I take it that you didnt know robben before he starts playing well for Chelsea.
Robben was known as the most talented young winger in Europe, and a potential football megastar, so everyone (almost, it seems) knew he is extremely good, and that skills such as dribling were/are much better than 14 before the game release, so he is underrated :)

plus Robben played very well in the EURO 2004 until he was subbed by Dig Advocaat. Surprises me you didn't know him before, jbaseley.

He and Kezman were PSV's best players.

yea i feel alot of the youngsters have lower potentials. for example alot of the good young players, around 20-22 years of age, like Reyes for example, dont have much space for improvement in the game, but in actual fact imagine how much better players like him can become.

Yeah there isn't alot of football on tv where I live only get a few UCL matches on matchdays and a some highlights of EPL pretty much thats why and EURO 2004 wasn't on tv. So i've never seen him play so thats my reasoning for not hearing of him till recently. :p

more of a question to NIDOKING. Everton have taken Sarkies and also Leijer on trial for a week which the intention on signing him. I've never heard of them before how good are they?!?

Robben is terribly underrated, I had to change them with the editor, also Tevez' are underrated IMO.

The worst is Julio Baptista (I think) from Sevilla being DMC though:kader: He's a striker ffs...

@ Fellachap: Don't know about Leijer, but I saw Sarkies only that time I said, and he destroyed Argentina U20 defense by himself, Australia U20 is an only-man team, but, wow, that Sarkies-guy was far more from what I expected for an Australian :confused:

At least on that game, he had an almost unstoppable dribbling, good vision + passing skills, and was very accurate to take any set piece, also scored a great goal from a FK.

If he could mantain the level he showed to Argentina (well, I'm confident he will, journalist said that the Australians boys have a match per month due to his league problems, or better said, no league) I think he will do great this at Everton :)

generaly there arent many talents in FM, and the existing "talents" are, usualy, underated.

Julio Baptista is more of an AMC IRL... not a striker.

Let's settle on F C, that could act both as a Striker or an AMC :p

when he came to Sevilla he was a DM and many people compared him to Mauro Silva but he started scoring goals and now he plays mostly as a forward or an attacking midfielder and he's f*cking great.

yea i've seen La Liga highlight baptista is pretty good.

i also changed robben with the editor but i didnt start a new game since then so....

tevez is OK but i guess his dribbling should be higher than 15/16 which the highest i ever got him to.

gilardino has superb allround stats.

cassano is a B*TCH omw he gets a yellow card every second game. he got 3 reds in 5 matches (2 yellows = red all 3 times) and so i warned hgim and he became unhappy and then missed trainign so i warned him again and now he dislikes me so i wanna sell him and get cavenaghi from Real Madrid whose worth 30m pounds. but noone will buy cassano for his true worth :(

sure cassano isnt such a dirty player in real life? i know he has attitude probs but this is ridiculous he set up all 4 of roma's goals in the w/e i saw the hilights on TV

Tevez is not underrated at all. Infact he scores too many. :kader:

Tevez works miracles for me. 45 goals season at least.

Everytime I play Inter in the CL in my game Tevez single handedly knocks me out of it. :(
