Players who were great on CM or FM but not in real life!

I always remember Cherno Samba from CM4 scored loads but in real life was actually pants

 

[Timmmmahhhh]

Ibrahim Babayaro - not sure on the spelling, class on CM but gash at Everton.

 

[Hungarian blue]

Maxim Tsigalko (CM 01/02 original database) as he was a bug. :D

Micah was a very average right back, a decent CB but the best DM in the League last time I played FM about three years.

Paulo Wanchope won player of the year a while back as well!

Brings back memories this thread, the one that springs to mind is Cherno Samba but there was also one a centre mid at Falkirk called Mark Kerr who turned into a world ckass player.

 

[Pigeonho]

Ibrahima Bakayoko
Nii Lamptey
Freddy Adu
Sadly, Valerei Bojinov in most recent times, (co-owed by Fiorentina and Juve and United used buy him guaranteed for £28m unless you cheated and got in there first)
From the mid-90's CM games, Chris Armstrong used to be a world beater, whereas in real life at Palace he was just a good striker.

On the really old ones, like the first one I think it was, there was a player called Mukhadim Mukhadamijev who would guarantee you 30+ a season. I don't know what he was like in real life but I don't recall anyone decent buying him!

Denilson was great on CM2 97/98
Mancini (brazilian one) was an absolute world beater 10/10 performer every game in CM4, in real life he was decent
Saviola in CM3 was an absolute beast and would hit 40/50 goals a season

 

[Neville the rat boy]

Giles Barnes
Okaka
