Yo, 314frog....wasssuuuppp....My suggestions are Guardiola, Ulises, Ruasez, Mostovoi.....maybe Anuca for that DMF position...Kinda depends what formation ya runnin'...Now, in a 3-4-3 diamond midfeild, sometimes at the DMF position I've put HIGHLY offensive players like Tomasson or Asamoah...As the play builds up, they come in from the rear to the top of the box to smash it home......I think its key that this player has good passing/teamwork, heading, and aggression skills so keep that in mind....In a 4-3-3 its totally acceptable to put offensive minded players on the SB positions...Guardiola AND Ulises work great from this position..I put my shorter guys like Juninho and BABANGIDA (he deserves capitals, no?) on the outside for speed & lack of height......

p.s. As I read back over this I remember that I have to NOT buy star players just to keep the ML a challenge even on EXTREME....so I may have recommended some middle of the road guys....but they're on my team and ...my boys is wicked!

Defensive Midfielder

hMM...mayb cambiasso?....makelele???...i'll try later ...i need to eat....hungry as fock man!!!

Yes,Makelele should be a good buy.He is a very good player in that position.

Hopefully your ML is going better. I usually play WE6FE BUT I decided to give WE6I a try a couple days ago and started a ML on EXTREME. Got promoted my first season! My secret and main reason. Babangida. It's not just him, but his positioning. My major recommendation and suggested change for you is to move Totti to Olisedebe's position and shift Babangida to the OH position. Shift either Cafu or Diesler, Diesler might be much better, to Babangida's original position. Place a DH where Diesler was! The main focus here though is Babangida:

Atleast once or even twice a game, you can always get wide open 1v1 chances with Babangida against the keeper situations! These chances occur with him going at full sprint starting from the mid-field line and continuing until you want to take the wide open shot. You will have to work on it since it will take timing on your dribbling when to cut to avoid defenders and how to approach the goal. Once you can master this, you can almost assure yourself a goal a game! This is only with Babangida in WE6I since he is extremely fast! Try this and you might see what I am talking about. You never slow down, you are at a full sprint the whole way, from start to you deciding to take the shot!

I feel ya man. It is frustrating for many a few times! Best advice is play the international cups and small tournaments with lesser teams on 5 star. Take a break from ML. Just try to have fun and get a feel for playing with less than average squads against the better teams. Once you feel clear headed and fresh, try a new ML and build a team using good strategy and play smart. Take your time and plan ahead for each game.

Before you start throwing anything out the window, say what the prob. is my man! Maybe some of us will have some good answers to give ya. Hopefully I could help ya out. All in all jumbo, don't give up, take a break if ya have to and just chill out my man!

cheers

Don't get Vieira he's not worth the money. He's got very good stats but his defending is rubbish. He maybe better on ML but i was playing with Arsenal for the Umbro-Konami cup and he was ****.

I think that it just might be your playing style that causes Vieira to be ineffective for you. I find that I have the same problem with other players with great stats, such as Larsson. He just doesn't fit into my style of play, so he turned out to be pretty useless for me. On the other hand, Vieira is a relelation on my team. He's strong on offense and even stronger on defense. He's great for stealing possession in midfield with slide tackles and starting quick counter attacks. I used to hate using Bergkamp when I first started playing WE6FE, due to his lack of speed and acceleration. Eventually, as my style of play changed as my play improved, I switched him to a deep lying forward position and he became much more effective for me.

 

[danger zone]

Well said. Viera is the heart of my midfield, he's good at holding up the ball and finding space for Henry and Bergkamp. Powerful aloso, it's funny seeing him fly through Liverpools gay defence.

It's goin ok I guess. I finished last in my 3rd season and lost in the semi's of the Tiny Cup to Aston Villa. I am playing pre-season games now before startign season 4. I am playing much better and getting draws and a win here and there. Thanks again for the suggestions. Right now my Lineup is:

GK Van Der Sar
CB Panucci
CB West
CB Song
DH Toefting
DH Cafu
LH Bagandia
RH Diesler
OH Totti
CF Olisedebe
CF Montella

That is working well right now. I may move Bagandia to OH like you suggested and see what happens.

well...i'm playing a 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield... roy keane use to play flawlessly there...anyways...i'm still looking for a GOOD defensive midfield who can succeed keane there... guardiola?... im not sure about him...i really like vieira...but i was thinkin about getting overmars and play a 3-5-2....since i have so many wingers ...or players who can play as wingers...hMmm... i think iima take a look at cocu...he seems kinda good...or o yesss!! davids!! not sure if i can lure him outta contract...but i will try... anyways...thanks for everyone's suggestions..peace

[rascricket]

Yeah, Guardiola isnt cuttin' it lately...I've actually found Anuca to be more effective....
I probably suggested middle of the road guys...Davids would be kick ass...I dominate this game so much that having an all out Dream Team would TOTALLY ruin the experience...

Yo, that 4-4-2 might be good but I've a lot of faith in the 3-4-3 diamond...if ya stick wit the 4-4-2, a suggestion is to set the SB's (or just one) little attack arrow to FORWARD/ATTACK....this helps alot....USE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS AT THE SB

I saw someone post some concerning the placement of left and right footed kickers...YOU CAN PLACE THEM ANYWHERE....Its actually highly effective to have say a left footed OMF on the right side...It depends how you USE them! Dont be shy bout dat, mon.

Use that give-n-go pass alot....When the passer takes off, the defense has to somewhat commit to that player allowing for space!....Crickets tip-o-da-day

I seriously think you should consider Overmars and Makalele.They are great defensive midfielders.Try them.


Wooo!

 

[jmcclure3tx]

DM

The defensive midfielders I have had success with are:

Mostovoi (RUS)
Hamann (GER)
Vieria (FRA)

Cellini is not bad -- I'm in season 9 on extreme and he is the only original player left on my roster.

 

[mathewsss]

If you don't have money for the Vieiras or Davids of WE6I/FE, then I would suggest getting some of these guys:

They are efficient defensive midfielders who are pretty good at their job of cutting out CPU attacks in midfield. Some of them also score goals !

Bous (Senegal)
Toefting (Denmark)
Gravesen (Denmark)
Vogel (Switzerland)
Petit (France)

 

[314frog]

I was thinking about getting petit as well...he did pretty good when i was playing france in the international cup

thanks yall

Been a while since I've been here but my team is taking shape and the performance is improving.

I've finished my first season in div1 on Extreme as Man Utd, and it went well, and ended with me finishing 2nd in the table. I lost in the Masters Cup in the 2nd round and got beat by Madrid in the 1st match of the Masters Tournament. But 2nd wasn't bad for my first season, even if I was winning with 2 games left and failed to win either of them which meant that Madrid won the League.

In the off-season I decided that I would take all my money and buy 1 great player, instead of a couple of players to improve certain positions and a LMF was decided on because, although Denilson was doing well, his teamwork rating just wasn't was high as I was looking for (80 is my preferred minimum and certain exceptions will be made by mid 60s was too low).

Looking around it was either Nedved or Rivaldo. Nedved didn't want to join, but Barcelona had just been relegated from div1 so Rivaldo joined. Even though SMF is his 2nd favoured position after OMF I wasn't going to drop Doni, yet. Doni had a poor season in the season before so I thought if he doesn't get up to scratch this season Rivaldo would become OMF.

Start of season 2 in div1 ML Extreme. My starting line-up now read:

GK: Oscal Bocorda (Col)
CB: Alayo (Par)
CB: Sesar (Brilliant Brazil)
LB: Sarnos (Brilliant Brazil)
RB: Frechaut (Por)
LMF: Rivaldo (Bra)
DMF: Oliseh (Nig)
OMF: Doni (Ita)
RMF: Babangida (Nig)
CF: Emile Mpenza (Bel)
CF: Chiesa (Ita)

at the halfwar point of season 2 I find myself 5pts in the lead of the division and I'm in the final of the Masters Cup. I'm going all out for the clean sweep.

I've decided that once the season's over, Mpenza's position needs improving. Once again I want a world class player and I've got my eye on Vieri.
