That is simply so wrong. Pirlo is a godlike playmaker DM and in my AC.Milan game he was voted the european midfielder of the year for 7 consecutive seasons playing as DM, with average rating 7.6+ every season.

AS a DM, for me every season Pirlo Scores 15+ goals and gets 18+ assists, average 2.4+ tackles every game and I could see so many interceptions every game that I could not count. This was so until he turned 35 and decided to retire.

Ppl just don't know how to use him, or they just look at his stats and go "low tackling, bad DM!". The truth is DMs don't have to have high tackling to be good Anticipation, positioning, concentration, decisions help a lot for defending. In terms of attacking, pirlo is easily the best DM, 20 passing, 20/19 creativity and decisions, best PPMs, 19/20 long shots, 20 freekicks etc etc.

If you play him as Am or MC, however, you are not making the best of his PPMs, "try long range passes" and "try killer balls often", try it and u will see that as DM he simply terrorises the opponent defence with his long through to either wingers or strikers. In addition, if you play him as an AM, he will be positioned in between lots of defenders, and unable to "playmaker" too much. His low speed means it's hard for him to play his way out of trouble. I prefer Kaka type AM much more -with forward runs often and run with ball often.

How do I use him as DM? Forward runs normal, Long shots often, Through balls often, and don't forget to put him on ur playermaker list and use playmaker, that's all.

Other good playmaker DMs are Xabi Alonso and Xavi, but they are not as good as Pirlo coz of PPMs and lower stats in long shots and freekicks.

Youve gone for a young team there fox, and i like it. But at the start of the game, its not like Bojan or Tuia, or Millan are gonna be best on the game are they!

The Fox69: Zambrano doesn't look that impressive to me - Gago, Lucas or Mascherano might be good alternatives. There are other changes I might make to your list (e.g. I think there are better prospects than Millan and Bojan out there) and I can't find two of the players you mentioned, so can't comment on them, but it does look like a team which will be extremely strong in 5+ years time.
