Subject: [NT] Players

Here's a list of the current best players by different position and age groups, using the ranking methods from the 'Best-of-Forum'. Players are NOT grouped according to their best positions, so you will find defenders listed amongst wingers etc. and players in multiple lists.

Midfielders: passing * 1.5 + playmaking * 1.5 + technique + pace + defending + shooting * 0.5 + stamina * 0.25
Defenders: defending * 1.5 + pace * 1.5 + passing + playmaking + technique + stamina * 0.5
Strikers: pace + technique + shooting

great derlon! ^____^

Is Pedro Winstanley not amongst the top keepers?

His actual keeping is joint 2nd best with 3 others but his pace and passing are a bit low. That's why he doesn't make the open list.

The last update I got on him was from January. Feel free to send me his current skills if he has improved since then.

Nice post mate hell nice to see what is cutting ranking wise in the team

Great post.

I will be selling some of my guys most probably Makhanya at end of season so that some NT prospects I have can have more chances to train.

Hmm selling wait a sec ill be looking for a midfielder in the near future plz let us arrange some sort of agreement before then, ill just be looking for a new trainee, i have missed out om Mr Human which i am very angry about, but i have another chance in 2 weeks hopefully if Marcl produce a striker :)

But lets us arrange something 1st :)

We can discuss more in google talk
