Cm 01 02 Patch 3968 Best Players Better -

The original CM 01/02 was famous for obscure superstars (Nikiforenko, Said, Zé Elias). Patch 3.9.68 has its own set of players who, due to the algorithm, are better in the game than they ever were (or will be) in reality.

You cannot find a better pure striker than Maxim Tsigalko (unless Anatoli Todorov—PA 185, but less physical—develops perfectly). But you can find a better defensive midfielder than Mark Kerr? Kerr is cheap, young, and has great teamwork. However, for a top-tier club, Fabio Celestini (Lausanne) offers superior passing and creativity from deep. For a pure destroyer, Jamie Victory (Cheltenham) has monstrous physical stats for a DMC, better than Kerr in tackling and stamina. Similarly, in goal, everyone takes Costanzo (River) or Chiotis (AEK). But Dida (on a free after season 1) or Sebastián Saja have better aerial ability and command of area—stats that prevent the "corner glitch" goals.

These players outperform many superstars despite low reputation/price. cm 01 02 patch 3968 best players better
