Close enough, and he's obviously very close to my heart. But he's really nothing like the three Spaniards. D

But he's really nothing like the three Spaniards. But he is the one! According to FM database, his distance from... ....Busquets is 118 (main difference: Marchisio fitter as RM) ....Xabi Alonso is 117 (Marchisio more versatile) ....Xavi is 141 (Xavi fitter as free role) I too fail to see great similarities. Of course Marchisio is a central midfielder with good technique (passing) and physically strong, but surely there are players more similar to the Spanish trio?! We could ask ourselves "what are the greatest differences between Marchisio and each of the three Spaniards?" (let's see the list of parameters in the original post) and then check the values in the FM database. -- Cheers milivella

Abubakr, with the following submission: Casillas, Iker Júlio César 142 Sergio Ramos Maicon 169 Piqué, Gerard Nesta, Alessandro 151 Puyol, Carles Vidic, Nemanja 167 Capdevila, Joan Cole, Ashley 156 Busquets, Sergio Touré, Yaya 121 Xabi Alonso De Rossi, Daniele 154 Iniesta, Andrés Nasri, Samir 127 Xavi Pirlo, Andrea 99 Pedro Arshavin, Andrey 172 Villa, David Tevez, Carlos 125 Congratulations! You deserve a place in the hall of fame: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tn75Yf90b-qwbMG1_elVCog&output=html Complete ranking: 1,582 Abubakr (1st to play) 1,975 Futbolmetrix (3rd) 2,098 The Scrutineer (4th) 2,143 Diabolik (2nd) --- The best possible submission would have scored 1,239 points: Casillas, Iker Adler, René 113 Adler better with right foot. Sergio Ramos Fanni, Rod 124 Ramos fitter as central midfielder. Piqué, Gerard Cáceres, Julio César 102 Pique fitter as right defender. Puyol, Carles Perea, Luis 123 Puyol better positioning and more influence. Capdevila, Joan Riise, John Arne 100 Capdevila better heading. Busquets, Sergio Vadócz, Krisztián 105 Busquets fitter as central defender. Xabi Alonso Gago, Fernando 109 Gago fitter as free role. Again, because he's the best player in the world. Ever. Iniesta, Andrés Osman, Leon 125 Osman fitter as right midfielder and as striker. Xavi Pirlo, Andrea 99 Pirlo fitter as defensive midfielder. Pedro Tom (Brazil / Bulgaria, Litex) 114 Tom more professionalism. Villa, David Neuville, Oliver 124 Neuville more injury proneness. Villa more sportsmanship and stamina. Odd team, somehow brilliant... -- Cheers milivella |
