Who is a random player you’ve always rated?

Think he might be talking about the Lazio defender Bastos? Not sure if FUT was a thing when the Lyon winger was around.

@OnlyOne waxing lyrical about defenders from Lazio now

Tbf I remember one of those previous versions of FIFA back in 2011-2013 (I can’t remember what year) but Welliton from Spartak was a demon as was Miccoli.

Nah was Michael Bastos, had 5* skills. I’ve never heard of Lazio.

Doumbia and Wellinton up front on FIFA 12 was unstoppable

Billy Bonds and Frank McAvennie

I used to go and watch Wolves with family a lot 25 odd years ago. I know it was only the Championship but Keith Curle was an absolute monster, several levels above any striker I saw him come up against.

The way he pocketed van Hooijdonk the year after Forest got relegated under Cloughie was one of the best defensive performances I've ever seen live.

 

[Entropics]

Of current players I keep rating Ben Godfrey for no good reason

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I always rated our national team hero CF Younes Mahmood who won us the Asian cup in 2007.

As known players i always rate AWB i can't see a fullback better than him defensively lol.

Steve Bull was something else.

Another player who I rated as a consistent performer, is Stuart Downing. A left winger, or an attacking midfielder, he seemed to be around forever, he had a 20.year playing career. He played for Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham United, Blackburn Rovers.


Playing for Middlesbrough.



In the Adidas Red of Middlesbrough, no it's Liverpool, Sorry.


In action for Aston Villa.


In the Claret and Blue of Aston Villa. No, it's West Ham United, Sorry.

A solid PL player ruined by a good old 0 goals 0 assists in a season meme

 

[Rain Dance]

Shunshuke Nakamura
he isn't as famous as Miura, Nakata or Kagawa but he was very solid in Celtic.
Just retired in February this year at 44 years old

Steve Bull was something else.

Bully is considered on a level with God in Wolverhampton. He was an incredible goalscorer but his loyalty set him apart, could have easily moved to a top club but stayed with Wolves and never played in the top flight.

I saw him a couple of times near the end of his career partnering a teenage Robbie Keane and his movement and strength were still brilliant.

Robbie Keane was a fantastic player, I saw him when he was 17 nutmeg Sami Hypia in a pre season friendly. You could see then that he was going to be a superstar.

I watched Keith Curle play when he was at Manchester City. Curle was signed from Wimbledon. City had also signed Terry Phelan from Wimbledon. Two quality defenders.

Robbie Keane was Good. Had a spell at Inter Milan. Played for Coventry City, Leeds United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, LA Galaxy, Aston Villa. (Might be other Clubs).

Moussa Dembele at Sp**s should have played at a much higher level. I rated him when he was at Fulham, and was sad to see him go to Tottenham.

Steven Pienaar and Leighton Baines were low-key the budget Ronaldo-Marcelo left side of the Premier League.

Aiden McGeady for Celtic.

Louis Saha.

Tadic and Pelle at Southampton moved me.

Aiden McGeady was an absolute problem back around 2012. Guy looked like he was going to be a top player.

Next thing he’s on Sunderland till I Die beefing with Chris Coleman. What happened @bingobob @Tir Na Nog

Hard to say. He was an exceptionally skillful player but didn't have end product. He got benched a lot by Gordon Strachan who basically found him lazy. He moved to Russia for a record fee, ended up at Everton I think and then just went around a bit.

 

[Sparrahork]

Topical one from me - Reiss nelson! Fingers crossed he is now staying but I was gutted for him when we signed Willian. Didn't want him as I felt he blocked Pepe from having the confidence to succeed in his second season, more worryingly it pushed Nelson down to 3rd choice in what I hoped would be his breakthrough season for us.

Robbie Keane is seriously underrated. He had a great club career but his international record was phenomenal, 146 caps, 68 goals. To put it in perspective Niall Quinn is their 2nd highest goal scorer with 21, which he passed at the age of 24!

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Dzeko, one of the most underrated strikers of the 2010’s. Would have been an immense Giroud upgrade when we were linked.

Beat me to it, would have loved him at Arsenal.
