  1. Hybrid A Kolar

    Yeah, he used to play in the Eredivisie. \_/ that you heard about him though. Majority still didn't and he needed to be mentioned so just appreciate it tbh.

    Needs some Anthony Vanden Borre, and Rafael Vander Vaart IMO

    Van Der Vaart is quite well known to be fair.

    Vanden Borre is a fair call, but one I overlooked.

    Is this based on potential?

    Bit of everything really. Potential, proven skill/quality, talent and some of my personal faves as well (you can't fit them all in!)

    The fact De Jong is in this list makes you a joke.

    Lol @ the personal attack. Calm the **** down.

    Like I said about 5 times in this thread. De Jong is a fringe... many people have only heard of him because he just signed for Manchester City. If you heard of him before that, then good on you - it means you have some knowledge FFS.

  12. Hybrid A Kolar

    Would've put him in the list if the year was early 2008. Not now though.

    Lol, and I'm sure you watch every match of the French 2nd division, or the Serbian league. Get your hand off it... not every player is as well known as your ****ing Ronaldo.

  14. chris473 CJ Devonshire

    Well you said best footballers I have never heard of. If they are good and haven't heard of them I wouldn't be able to name them. So get your hand off your dick and grab that tissue for when United knock you out of the CL.

  15. Hybrid A Kolar

    That's the whole point of the thread FFS. They're good but not world megastars that everybody knows.

    Barca/Arsenal final IMO. :king:

    BTW Hybrid you mentioned the Serbian League. Does Montengro have a league? Cause I manage them on Fifa Manager but they appear to have no league.

  17. Hybrid A Kolar

    Montenegro is still a relatively new (independent) nation, don't forget... so their league may not have been added to that FIFA Manager. Either that, or they just blatantly didn't put the Montenegrin league in because they might've thought it was too small/obscure.

    I know its a new nation thats why I wondered. They dont qualify for UEFA cup or Champions league so that might be why its not on.

  19. Hybrid A Kolar

    Nah, they actually do qualify for the Champions League. Every national federation member of UEFA has a right to have at least 1 team qualify for the UEFA Champions League AND the UEFA Cup (now renamed UEFA Europa League).

    It just so happens that national leagues ranked "better" than others (there is a ranking system) get more spots in the CL and Cup, while lower ranked leagues of lesser quality get less spots.

    For example, England gets 4 spots in the CL (3 automatic to group and 1 through qualifying) and 3 in the Cup, whereas Bosnia & Herzegovina only gets 1 spot in each. (The CL one goes through qualifying)

    I know for a fact that in reality Montenegro gets 1 spot in the CL qualifying and 1 in the UEFA Cup... obviously not in the game though if EA Sports didn't put their league in.

    The Montenegrin league will probably be in the next FIFA Manager game anyway.
