I'll make it on to the Guardian's graphics team one day
#REAL MADRID FIFA 10 CODE#
I've been playing the preview code of Football Manager 2011 (out in the first week of November) for the past few weeks – it would be unhealthy to do nothing but play New Vegas, right? – and, as much as I love it, I can't help but feel that the series has long since taken a wrong turn from which it may never recover. How is it that, six years later, they're still looked back on fondly by so many gamers? Depth, depth and more depth
#REAL MADRID FIFA 10 PRO#
For many, Championship Manager 03/04 and Pro Evolution Soccer 4, both released in 2004, represent the pinnacles of their respective genres. However, despite my fondness for that period of my life, it seems I'm not alone in holding such opinions about these particular games.
The tendency to get misty-eyed about your pre-job/wife/child (delete as appropriate) lifestyle means it's not that hard to find people who genuinely believe that Space Invaders was better than Call of Duty or that PacMan was better than Fallout. I was at university at the time and living with friends - the perfect scenario for prolonged bouts of social gaming. There's always an element of rose-tinted glasses in this sort of statement.
#REAL MADRID FIFA 10 FULL#
The hosts' front line is full of confidence, while the visitors are far from their best and could be picked apart in the capital.I t was during a recent heated discussion about the merits of Fifa 11 that I came to a strange realisation – for me, the world of football sims and football management sims peaked in about 2005 (as an aside, this was probably the year real-life football peaked for me as well). Given the form of the two sides, we can only see Los Blancos extending their winning run on Wednesday. Simon Lekue, Alvarez, Nunez, Balenziaga N Williams, Vencedor, D Garcia, Muniain I Williams, R Garcia Unai Nunez should partner Yeray Alvarez in the absence of Martinez and Vivian, while key forward Inaki Williams will hope to return to the front line on Wednesday.Ĭourtois Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy Kroos, Casemiro, Modric Vinicius, Benzema, AsensioĪthletic Bilbao possible starting lineup: Karim Benzema remains a talisman going forward, with the Frenchman currently leading the league scoring charts with 11 goals in 13 league games, while winger Vinicius Junior has also enjoyed an eye-catching season, hitting the net nine times in the league.Īthletic Bilbao will be missing important centre-back Inigo Martinez, who was sent off in the dying minutes of their draw with Granada last time out, while Peru Nolaskoain, Yuri Berchiche, Dani Vivian and Asier Villalibre are all on the sidelines. Real Madrid should be without midfielder Dani Ceballos and wingers Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale, although the trio have all struggled to nail down starting spots in recent seasons, while the potential loss of attacker Rodrygo could be a bigger concern for Ancelotti.Įder Militao and David Alaba should again partner up at the back, while the midfield trio of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro is unlikely to be changed. Marcelino's men enjoyed a strong start to the domestic campaign, collecting 16 points from their opening nine La Liga matches, but their form has since taken a dip. They welcome an Athletic Bilbao side looking to arrest a slump, with the visitors failing to win any of their last five league outings. With previous league leaders Real Sociedad falling to a defeat at the weekend, Los Blancos now boast a four-point lead at the summit of the Spanish top flight, having won 10 of their 14 games, and they will be keen to make it five on the spin on home turf on Wednesday. Vinicius was again on the scoresheet last time out, as he secured all three points for his side in the dying minutes against Sevilla, after Karim Benzema had drawn them level in the first half at the Santiago Bernabeu.
In line with an improvement in the Champions League, with the Madrid giants confirming their passage to the round of 16 with a double over Shakhtar Donetsk and a victory against Sheriff Tiraspol consecutively, they have also strung four league wins together heading into Wednesday.Īfter wins over Elche and Rayo Vallecano heading into the recent international break, Ancelotti's men picked up where they left off upon the return, firstly thrashing Granada 4-1 thanks to goals from Marco Asensio, Nacho, Vinicius Junior and Ferland Mendy.
