I have played Championship Manager for 5 years and I still think it is amazing!!! So I can tell you the best players on Championship Manager 2001/02.
Kee: Sebastian Frey, Dionis Chiotis are awesome!!!
LB: Wilfred Bouma, Julio Arca, Taribo West
RB: Mike Duff (Best you can get!!!), Felix Dja Ettien, Javier Zanetti
CB: Rio Ferdinand, Alessandro Nesta, Mikael Silvestre, Wes Brown, Stephen Schumacher, Ruud Kras, Jan Wuytens, Sam Sodje, Ifeane Udeze.
LW: Ryan Giggs, Joe Cole, Arjen Robben, Pavel Nedved, Killy Gonzalez, Jose A Reyes
RW: Julius Aghahowa, Kieron Dyer, David Beckham, Lee Bowyer, Luke Chadwick
CM: Ronaldinho, Pablo Aimar, Juan Sebastian Veron, Mark Kerr, Nicolas Medina, Rafael van der Vaart, Juan Roman Riquelme, Darren Fletcher
CF: Ruud van Nistelrooy, Hernan Jorge Crespo, Louis Saha, Alan Smith, Cherno Samba, Christian Vieri, Javier Saviola, Mido, Youssouf Hersi.
And the best team tactic is 3-5-2 attacking. I have that all the time with this team, I have won everything thats possible!!!!!!
Nistelrooy Saha

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic

Giggs Ronaldinho Dyer Aghahowa


Bouma Silvestre Ferdinand

Frey

This is the best!!! If you use Eldar as a attacking midfielder he will be the topscorer.
On two seasons for me he have played 109 games and scored 94!!! Use this team lineup and I can guaranteed success!!!!!

I am Leeds and have just finished my second season, my first eleven were all in the team of the year!! Here are my first eleven (4-3-3)
GK:Jerzy Dudek(great ariel ability)
LB:Ian Harte(Kept him, works wonders at set pieces)
RB:Gary Kelly(captain)
CB:Taribo west(free transfer!!)
CB:Jamie Carrager(mis-spelt great tackler)
CM:Harry Kewell(What a player, third top scorer, best average in prem(9.23))
CM:Robert Pires(great dribbling skill, and great assister)
CM:Kiko(free transfer from a club!! Great passer)
CF:Raul Tamudo(gets min.fee of 18m, but well worth it)
CF:Robbie Keane(top scorer with 74 goals last season)
CF:Theirry Henry(second top scorer with 63 goals, cost 23m tho, worthwhile)

With this team I won every game and the champions league my biggest win was against barcelona 9-1 in champions league semi-finals!

My biggest prem win was 8-1 against manchester united!!

Gareth Whalley

Graham Kavanagh

Robert Earnshaw (AMAZING)

Ibrahim Said

Anastosios Skalidis

These players will only be good in the lower divisions and will need to be changed once in top division. Some may hack it in the top division.

Some will not perform well for a lot of games.



You may end up being as good as me, but i am THE BEST.
