Here's my list of underestimated:
John Arne Riise
Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Fredrik Ljungberg
Sami Hyypiä
Danny Murphy
Craig Bellamy
Alvaro Recoba

Overestimated:
Patrick Vieira
Juan Sebastian Veron

I have probably forgotten a lot of players here, but these are players that popped into my head when I wrote this...

How can you say Viera is overrated??? Hes one of if not the best ball winning midfielders in the world. Same with Veron. He might not suit the Man Utd system of play in real life, but his time in serie a proves that he is worthy of his stats. Walter Samuel is immense. In my opinion he is one of the top 3 centre backs in the world. His pace and strength are amazing. If any centre back on the game is overrated it is Lucio, here is a man that can not defend and he is regularly transfered for fees around 35m. I do agree that Montella is overrated though.

Solsjkaer has never been a regular starters and doesnt contribute alot other than his finishing so he will never be rated as world class. Riise should be slightly improved in areas such as set pieces and shooting, but most of his stats are accurate such as his defensive ones, where he isnt great. I agree about Ljungberg, he should be one of the worlds best attacking mids. Hyypis is already class on cm. Murphy is about how he should be. He is a good premiership player but has done nothing for England or in the Champions League. Bellamy should be better but we shouldnt get carried away with him. He should be better but not one of the best on the game. Recoba is about how he should be.

I thought that Recoba should be better, he is one of the best players i've seen in the world, when i last saw him on Cm he was being transfered to Lazio for 2.6m, a player of this class should be worth more, but apart from that ed is right, the ones he described are what i think about them

underrated: pirlo definately. in real life he's the future of italy, in the game he starts bad and stays bad, always.

I agree. I think Pirlo was underrated because of his age and his lack of firsy team appearances rather than his ability. I think that the researchers had decided that because he wasnt a first team regular he could be as good as he is. Someone needs to teach them how Serie A differs to the Premiership regarding youngsters with potential. The fact that they are loaned out or put in the reserves for longer and are not introduced into the first team until their twenties.

Vieira is extremely good, possibly the best defensive midfielder in the world, but his offensive stats are overestimated. If you compare Vieira with Pablo Aimar for instance, you see that Vieira is as good as Aimar as an attacking midfielder (which I can not understand). When I'm talking about Veron being overestimated, I'm not talking about the skills he potentially has. He was good in Italy, but his performance in the Premier League proves he's not the best offensive midfielder (which he is in the game). He has extremely good vision and passing skills, but apart from that not much. He has 20 in long shots in the game. When he shoots from outside the box in real life, 4 of 5 shots goes over by a mile. Same deal with set pieces. I'm not that familiar with Walter Samuels performances, sorry. And Lucio, is in my opinion, very good both offensive and defensive.

I think Recoba has the best left foot in the world, both when shooting, passing and when taking set pieces.

Montella is a great striker! One problem, when he wants to be, this should be what its like in CM, Give him good stats and a good ability but a very poor consistancy,

 

[Matt J]

Underestimated = Metija Kezman, Started with PSV and before going out and replacing half the team i thought i'd see what i'd got to start with, i knew kezman was at PSV but hadnt seen his name mentioned on here or in the world of football in general but i looked at his stats and decided to give him a go before i decide to sell, What a player! played 11 league games scored 10, 4 assists, 5 MOM. Needless to say i kept him and will do for a while as he's only 22.

Overated = Goméz, Heard nothing but good things on here and everyone reccomends him, bought him for 2.4m i think, play him upfront with Kezman and he's scored once with 2 assist's and regularly plays poor away from home, dont know if he needs some time to settle in but i'm starting to loose patience

I couldn't agree more ..
They are too highly rated in the game
Although I am a Man Utd fan but I also feel that they have overated the Untied team also see the recent performance...I consider this is the worst Untied team I seen in the 11 years that I have followed them..I can't believe that the bunch of players are not playing to what Man Untied supposed to mean..

 

[Ebonix]

Everton! They are great after a number of years!
Even though they are in "debt" at the start of every season they always find a couple of million out of thin air to buy Sergey Semak!
Then some new board takes over and they have about 5.5m to spend after a while they buy al these completly no name or reputation players from obscure contries for about 90k - 500k at the most as soon as they move to the club they go to a valueation of £2m plus! and eventually become internationals and world stars its annoying!
Also Belerus are overated! If you go on holiday and leave it for about a day you'll get to around 2024 by then Belerus have become world champions! and are top of the FIFA world rankings very strange!

I'm a Man U fan, but I even used the editor to lower many of the Man U players abilities and potential.. Now, it's more realistic

What are you talking about? Pirlo is CMs best player in my game. He was sold to Dortmund for £63 million!

 

[Ebonix]

Pirlo may have allot of randomly generated attributes therrefore his ability will change from game to game.
In my experience Chiotis is like this, he can be fantastic and most usually is but he can occasionally be very poor

 

[MrReliable]

Yeah but can recoba dribble like giggs?

erm, most overestimated player, Totti. He is good, but champman needs to sort out the cutural differences in football, and how it effects intercontinental football matches and those within Europe aswell. Totti doesn't play 9's or 10's against English teams in real life. So I don't think he should in the game either.

most underestimated? solskeir (its a tricky one)

I agree with many comments about the 'baby-faced assasin' but thought I'd add that he does contribute to team play. In light of recent performances I would say that he deserves to be better in the game. Fact is, I sold him for a 'nickle & dime' because he just wasn't good enough although I really would like too play him more. They should make him a Right winger now too, cos that's where he's playing.

Left winger too..
He did cover up for Giggs b4 when there are no suitable players to take the left side after Giggs's injury during that time..

that means Solskjaer should have the best adaptability ratings. Comes on as a super-sub, an all-rounder and plays in any position.

His finishing, vision and loyalty cannot be doubted.

 

[Ebonix]

I don't like Giggs when he gets the ball, he puts his head down and sprints at the defender untill he sees the white of the by line and smashes the ball in along the floor. Its not skillful, only his dribbling is skillful.
There is a problem with Solskjaer, if you make him really good, he would be played all of the time, instead of as a sub. Also if he would be a very good scorer clubs could buy him to great affect, he should have a special attribute for being likely to score when coming on as a dramatic sub
