| THE BEST PLAYERS |
| This is my guide to all the top players on the game. Some are already firmly established as top players on the game and will be very expensive to buy. Some though are promising youngsters who will improve into the best in the game. Your imput could help me expand this section if you tell me about young players and also if you think i have made a mistake in my judgement of a young player then just tell me on the guestbook. I will add names to the list as i discover them. Goalkeepers and Defenders are on this page. Click on Midfielders for Midfielders and Attackers for Attackers. Some of the players on the lists will be non-eu. I have put the players in age order, starting with the youngest to make it easier to find the right player for you. |

| The defenders below are all non-eu based and so in most cases won't be eu players. All of the ones in the main list are European based. A few are non-eu though. |

| This is the best players home page where you can find the goalkeepers and defenders. The Midfielders and Attackers are on different pages. At some point i will highlight the names of the players i highly recommend in a different colour so you can pick out the best players easier. If you want to recommend a player then just say on the guestbook or put a message on the FA Premier League Manager 2000 forum at Gametalk. The best player on the game on my opinion is Riquelme from Barcelona. Once he gets settled in the team he plays superbly in every game. He scores and creates goals. |
