My choices:

AJAX

Key players: Stekelenburg (GK), Trabelsi (RB), Maxwell (LB), Heitinga (CB), Pienaar (CMF/SMF), Sneijder (AMF/SMF/CMF), Mitea (LWF), Rosales (RWF), Ryan Babel (CF)

VALENCIA CF

Key players: Ayala (CB), Regueiro (SB/SMF/WF), Baraja (CMF), Aimar (AMF), Vicente (LMF), Kluivert (CF)

Ola,

Eu gosto bolton.

They have a strong keeper & defence with good height & power in the centre. A good mix in midfield of creative players - nakata/okacha def holding players - faye/campo and box to box runners - speed/nolan.

Upfront davies holds the ball up very well, and both diouf & stelios good out wide and useful at cutting inside.

Overall they have a good system with a flexible squad IMO.

tchau

Ola, good choice! Bolton is a good team too. Okocha is a wonderful player and Nakata a great playmaker too. I like gardner too, the jamaican one I guess (or Is him South African? can´t remember now). He as a good left foot and he does well on the side.

Continue posting your opinions :D

Definetly Jamaican mate, he's great coming forward bit a little bit dodgy defensively sometimes, although he's got better with age.
 
I play with Bolton online a lot.

A few days ago I saw a match being played:
Bolton vs Brazil
The guy who picked Brazil has absolutely no class.
 
I made a game some days ago with Bolton too, against Milan. It ended in a 1-1 draw but I had possession of 68% and many chances. Good team.

Zygalski you said "The guy who picked Brazil has absolutely no class". It´s usual :P It´´s all so easy with Brazil that even a noob can pick them and win easily ;) Brazil is for bad players in my opinion.

Arsenal and Manchester United are not bad, better than irl as a matter of fact.
I'd say those 2 are counted as the top teams. Also very common choices.


I'll add Lyon, Roma and Athletico Madrid to the list.

I was joking Zygalski.
Teams that i like: Wolfsburg (D'allessandro) and Lille (Mousillou).

I appreciate the quality of D´alessandro but I don´t really think that Wolfsburg can face top teams. They have too much poor players in their starting eleven! :|

how has no one even dared to mention valencia..just look at the evo-web league im currently second with them...i mean aimar is just class kluivert is a very powerful forward and ayala is still a top defender...in fact i would go as far to say that valencia are part of the top teams.
 
I like West Ham. Although his stats aren't great Reo-Coker always seems to make good runs from midfield and get important goals and Harewood is a beast. I also like Alavez. I haven't played any competive games with them yet, just a bunch of friendlies against com, but I always have good fun games playing with them.
 
Whenever I wanna pick a small team I pick Benfica. Fun game every time trying to get the ball away from my net.
 
Athlectico Madrid: Torres, Kezman, Petrov, Ibagaza, have alot of good attackers
Spurs
PSV
Ajax
Real Betis
M'boro
Newcastle
Villareal
 
I play with Benfica a lot, and win most of the games. Must be the pride factor.
Does anyone find that playing with lesser teams improves your games, you play much more concentrated.
