Yes, all of those. And he had my Grandma. But most of all I hate him for his un-fair-play-ness. Acting as if Stevie Stevie Stevie (x13) Gerrard had hit him in the face against Liverpool, blatant shirt tugging (he was actually being dragged along the ground in one match), dirty tackling, plus he always gets lucky with goals. Plays poorly for 60 minutes then a lucky deflection makes him look good. Plus, as I say, he's very very ugly. I hate the man. I still use him with England though.

Hargreaves is good, but King is far better defensively. When defending a corner, who would you rather have there? King by a mile. Plus he's probably one of the best defenders in the world at tracking back, catching up with the striker in possession, and making a clean tackle before the striker can take the shot. Unfortunately, he isn't very good on Pro Evo. Hargreaves is probably better going forward though. But King is also good at long passing.
And also, Gerrard has a higher defensive stat on Pro Evo than Hargreaves. But you want Gerrard going forward really. I tried Gerrard and Lampard in central midfield, with King/Hargreaves behind and Joe Cole in front, and it didn't work very well for some reason. I do like Beckham on the right side of central midfield though. And another thing - why is Gary Neville so crap? I seem to remember Mills was better than him on Pro Evo 3 or 4 as well, what do Konami have against him?

Did Joey Cole hit your mother with his car or something? Stamped on your kid sisters face? Break your dog in half with a frisbee? Leave the man alone, he's not the ugliest man in the Premiership. Not by far. Jenas, for example, is far more of a disgrace.

ah, back in the days of pro evo 3 i used a 3-4-3 system.
I used to be alot more all out attack in those days.
my system was somthing like this
----Samuel---Nesta---Stam----
-------------Vieira----------
Zanetti--------------R.Carlos
------------Totti------------
----Henry--Ronaldo--Vieri----
On 5 i just use juventus with thier standard 4-4-2 slightly modified, Chelini in for zebina, miccoli in for vieira/emerson (depending upon form), and mutu and trezeguet as first choice up front but dependent again dependent on form.
Only signed Montella for my master league team so far, and managed to end up with potter from liverpool in some swap deal where i swear i was conned...

I'm not sure I could manage without an offensive midfielder. Although maybe you were using Zidane as one. My Argentina formation was:
-------Ayala-----Samuel------
-------------Mascherano------
Zanetti--Cambiasso------Sorin
------Aimar----Riquelme------
------Saviola----Crespo------
Or something like that anyway. I think I had Cambiasso as a defensive midfielder, then changed him to central at some point. Can't remember what the score was. As I recall I was, in the words of Andy Townshend, "a little bit all over the place."

I think Zanetti and Bobby C side-midfielders with Nedved and Rivaldo as wingers (Nedved wasn't officially a winger, but he was class anyway), but I can't remember. It worked well, though, regardless of what the official positions were.
Only Fenerbahce ever gave me problems with that formation. They never finished higher than 4th, yet they always seemed to take me apart. Can't remember their formation, but it was probably suited to dealing with my uber-attack.

But Pro Evo 3 didn't have the wing-back position, so were you using full-backs? Wing-backs are counted as midfielders, so it's more risky. Kudos if you were using side-midfielders though. I had Mascherano as a defensive midfielder with high defence arrow and backwards attack arrow though, so I figure that's about as good as a system with three centrebacks.

That was my Master League formation in Pro Evo 3. We were incredible. Probably helped that my squad was:
----- Cannavaro -- Nesta -----
Zanetti ---------------- R. Carlos
------- Zidane --- Vieira ----
Nedved ------------------ Rivaldo
----- Ronaldo --- Henry ------
But meh, it was amazing anyway.
I was about 15 seasons into the Master League when I had this team (Buffon in goals to complete it), and on the bench I had a classic team which I could fit into that exact formation, with the likes of Rijkaard, Cruyff, Baresi, Pele, Maradona, Rivelino.
It was really easy with those teams, but quite fun anyway.

The difference is that when you come to mine, Cicinho will be:

b) Not in the squad

I've altered the formation to almost the same, but I left the back four as it was.
What annoys me is, there's just not enough places in the international squads for all the players. For Argentina, Galletti, Maxi Rodriguez and I think a couple of others should be in, but they can't be. And The England squad too. Naturally I replaced Wes Brown with Sol Campbell after about five seconds of play time, but still, Alan Smith, Carrick etc. I would like in there. Never mind.

Beckham----Jenas
----Lampard-----
worked quite well. Gerrard wasn't fit, naturally. Beckham and Jenas are both central midfielders there, like Seedorf and Gattuso in the AC Milan formation. Gives Beckham freedom, Lampard's always up with the attack straight away, Jenas's gappy teeth didn't put me off. I got knocked out by Spain on penos in the end. Idiot Green in net, couldn't tackle Raul and I conceded an equaliser.

I play:
Dida (who, by the way, might just be the best keeper on the game)
Cicinho-Edmilson (who I had to call in)-Lucio-R.Carlos
Emerson-Gilberto
Kaka-Ronaldinho
Adriano-Ronaldo
No place for Juninho, which means I've got no-one good at free kicks. I just tank them with Carlos and hope something happens. Robinho is a good sub to have if Ronaldo gets injured, which he does with great frequency, because he can just run past most people and then pass it to Adriano, who hits it in all his 99 Shot Power glory.
Ze Roberto doesn't even get a look in. I hate him.
And Kaka definitely is better than Ronaldinho. It's so much easier to go past players with him because of his speed, and he's just as good as tricks. Doesn't have the flip-flap, mind, but that hardly ever works anyway. That's why I've confiscated the PES4 armband from 'Dinho and given it to Kaka. Or Kaka', whatever that gay apostrophe is for.

Ronaldinho is better. His free kick stats are ridiculous though. Below 80? Get out of here, he's one of the best around. Juninho has 99 for free kick accuracy though, I used him in training today.
I noticed Kikinho, but why why why choose him over Cafu? Cafu has much better stats, whatever you think of him.
Also, what the hell's going on with the formation? Kaka in central midfield when he isn't starred for that position; Ze Roberto, a left winger, as an OMF in the middle; Juninho as the defensive midfielder; no Gilberto, or Adriano, what's going on? I've had to change it. And Argentina's is useless, they used a wingback system in the Confederations, and they'd got some idiot 4-4-2 with Lucho Gonzalez and no Samuel.
And Cissé isn't in the France squad (he is now).
I can't decide on the best formation to use yet. I tried a 2-2-2-2-2 (two centrebacks, two wingbacks, two defensive midfielders - or one defensive and one central - two attacking midfielders, and two strikers) and it worked alright. My wing play is useless at the moment, it's so much harder to get the space. And strikers are useless at staying onside, literally useless. Bleeergh.
