There seem not to be uniformity between the attributes of players portrayed in Football games and what they actually posses in reality.
Some players seem to play better in games than they do in reality. If players where to be judged by their virtual attribute, i don't think the names of Messi and Ronaldo will be a constant on everyone's lips.Soccer4life takes a look at five players who have proven themselves super stars in the various editions of the managerial game Football Manager commonly known as FM, but are yet to showcase the same ability in their respective clubs in reality.
5. Dentinho (AMC/AML/R/ST)
Bruno Ferreira Bonfim also known as Dentinho is a brazilian footballer who plays as a striker for Shakhtar Donetsk. The striker have made just a total of 21 apperances for his club since his £7.5m move from Brazilian club Corinthians in 2011 and have scored just 4 goals for His team.
But in the Football Managers world, Dentinho is one of the most deadliest striker you can find around. He is very strong, skillful and have an eye for goals. On an average with him as your point striker you are sure of 25goals a season from the young Brazilian.
His Football Manger Attribute include
FINISHING 15
FIRST TOUCH 14
LONG SHOT 11
TECHNIQUE 16
FLAIR 16
PACE 16.
Not too bad to be compared with Van persie in reality.
4. Welliton (ST, FC)
Welliton started his career playing for the Brazilian side Goiás. In July 2007 he moved to Russian club Spartak Moscow, signing a five year contract. He has been a very prolific scorer and won the top scorer title in the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
To begin the 2008 season, Welliton scored six times in his first nine matches. Former Russia midfielder Aleksandr Mostovoi heaped praise on the young striker after his performance in a 3–0 away win at Rubin, stating "He has overcome all problems with passage into a new country. He is young, fast, technical, an ideal artist who acts along the entire front line of attack, not just along the flanks as this past season."Unfortunately, his stellar start was cut short due to a muscle tear that forced him out of action for 10 months.
After a successful return in 2009, Welliton helped Spartak early to a prime position to qualify for the UEFA Champions League after finishing a dismal 8th place in 2008. He scored his first career hat-trick on 8 August 2009 at Spartak Nalchik. He scored six goals in the final seven matches to secure the scoring title and a berth in the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League group stage for Spartak.
His excellent form has continued into the 2010 Russian Premier League season as he again became the top scorer, this time with 19 goals.
In August 2010, Welliton scored two consecutive hat-tricks. On 15 August he netted three goals in an away game against Moscow rivals Lokomotiv Moscow, which ended 2–3. On 21 August 2010, he scored another hat-trick, this time against Tom Tomsk in a 4–2 win at home. The latter was scored just in 6 minutes and became the fastest hat-trick in the entire history of Spartak (this record had been previously held by Vladimir Beschastnykh with 9 minutes).
But since 2010, Welliton has found it difficult to cement a place in the starting eleven for his club with the emergence of Emenike, who is currently the clubs point man.
When it comes to the world of Football Manager, Welliton is the man for all leagues, he doesn't have the problem of adaptation, he fits in well to every formation and will always be a contender for the golden boot.
But the trick is that he only does well when he plays for the Human manager.
His attribute in the game include:
FINISHING 17
FIRST TOUCH 14
HEADING 15
LONG SHOT 12
TECHNIQUE 15
OFF THE BALL 18
PACE 16
FLAIR 16
I can bet he would have been playing for Chelsea if he was this good in reality.
3. SIMON VUKCEVIC (AM/AML)
Many will remember Vukcevic for the little impact in helping Blackburn Rovers survive the premier League season due to lack of appearances. The Midfielder was bought from Portuguese club Sporting for a reported fee of £3million. But he went on to make just 10 appearances for the club and scored just 2 goals. He couldn't control the midfield as much he does in Football manager.
When it comes to Football manager. Simon Vukcevic is the personification of the word "world class"
be it in FM 08, FM 09, FM 10, or even FM 12.
His amazing abilities will no doubt push any manger to make him key signing. His Abilities include
CORNER 15
CROSSING 17
DRIBBLING 15
FINISHING 15
FIRST TOUCH 16
FREE KICK 16
LONG SHOT 18
TECHNIQUE 18
CREATIVITY 18
STRENGTH 17
2. Marek Hamšík (AMC/MC/AML)
Hamsik was described as the "Next big thing in world football" by Napoli club president De Laurentiis when he joined the club in 2007. I guess the president wasn't wrong in his judgement but the only problem was that the president was referring to his Football manager ability.
No doubt Hamsik is a very quality player but he has failed to replicate the same standard he has in the game world on the real scene. If not he would be rated with the likes of Xabi Alonso and Frank Lampard.
Below are his football manager attribute
CORNER 13
CROSSING 13
DRIBBLING 15
FINISHING 16

FREE KICK 15

INFLUENCE 19
Not too far from being compared with the best in the world don't you think so/
1. EDIN DZEKO
I know many may argue this particular one, but i guess you need to purchase a copy of the Football manager 2012 and play. You will see what wonders the Bosnian Diamond does in the virtual world.
It may surprise you to know that Edin Dzeko is yet to score up to 30goals in a particular season in reality both for his former club Wolfsburg were he scored 26 goals in the 2008/2009 season then scored 22 in the 2009/2010 season when he won the golden boot, before moving to Manchester season were he scored 19goals.
But in the Virtual world(Football manager) Edin Dzeko is a striker who finishes a season with nothing less than 30 goals. He plays even better when up front as the lone striker in a 5-4-1 formation.
Just check out his attribute
FINISHING 17
FIRST TOUCH 18
HEADING 16
LONG SHOT 14
TECHNIQUE 17
STRENGTH 17
JUMPING 19.
If only this players and many others had the game attribute in reality i wonder what football would look like.
