By far the best goalie selection you can possibly make. We got one player who's amazingly experienced with the defence, a player who has played 2 games the whole season, and another one who has amazing experience at this level. I love it!
Goalies Ricardo (Sporting), Quim (Benfica), Victor Baia I guess (Porto) Defenders Paulo Ferreira (Chelsea), Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea), Miguel (Valencia), Fernando Meira (VFB Stuggart), Marco Caneira (Sporting), Nuno Valente (Everton), Nelson (Benfica)...I know I know....highly unlikely and riskfull. Midfielders Deco (Barcelona), Joao Moutinho (Sporting), Tiago (Lyon), Manuel Fernandes (Benfica), Maniche (Chelsea), Costinha (Selling cocaina), Cristiano Ronaldo (ManChester United), Ricardo Quaresma (Porto), Luis Figo (Inter Milan), Pedro Mendes (Portsmouth) or Simao Sabrosa (Benifca) Forwards Pauleta (PSG), Nuno Gomes (Benfica), Luis Boa Morte (Fulham)
I would do the same, except I would put Paulo Santos in place of Baia, and Simao Sabrosa in for Costinha.
So basically you would replace Costinha's spot with Manuel Fernandes with regards to the DM position.
Not a regular starter for Udinese. Might be a bit past his prime at 33 years of age. Played 38 games last year for Livorno before moving on a free transfer to Udinese this year.
