WCCF 2016-2017 Unique Team - The Blazers (Croatia National Team)

The Croatia national football team (Croatian: Hrvatska nogometna reprezentacija) represents Croatia in international football. The team is controlled by the Croatian Football Federation, the nation's governing body of football. A FIFA-sanctioned national side previously represented the short-lived Banovina of Croatia and Independent State of Croatia in nineteen friendly matches between 1940 and 1944. This team was dissolved in 1945 as Croatia became a constituent federal republic of SFR Yugoslavia. In the period between 1945 and 1990, Croatia was ineligible to field a separate team for competitive matches; local players instead played for the Yugoslavia national football team.

The modern Croatian team was formed in 1990, shortly before Croatia's independence from Yugoslavia, and by 1993 had gained membership in FIFA and UEFA. The team played their first competitive matches in the successful qualifying campaign for UEFA Euro 1996, leading to their first appearance at a major tournament.^[3] In Croatia's FIFA World Cup debut in 1998 the team finished third and provided the tournament's top scorer, Davor Šuker. Since becoming eligible to compete in international tournaments, Croatia have failed to qualify for only one World Cup (in 2010) and one European Championship (in 2000).

Most home matches are played at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, with some fixtures also taking place at the Poljud Stadium in Split or at other, smaller venues, such as Kantrida Stadium in Rijeka or Gradski Vrt in Osijek. The team was undefeated in its first 36 home competitive matches at Maksimir, the run ending with a heavy defeat to England in September 2008. The team's traditional nickname is Vatreni ("The Blazers").

The team was named FIFA's "Best Mover of the Year" in 1994 and 1998, the only team—along with Colombia—to win the award more than once. On admission to FIFA, Croatia was ranked 125th in the world; following the 1998 World Cup campaign, the side rose to third place in the rankings, making it the most volatile team in FIFA Rankings history.

There is a special national team KP for Croatia National Team, バトレニ or Vatreni (The Blazers). Hence, it is possible to make a squad full of Croatian players. And here it is! Note the players chosen below are based on the best overalls and best position that suits all of the players available.

Best Player By Stat : Luka MODRIC & Ivan RAKITIC (94)

Worst Player : Joey DIDULICA (69)

Summary :

Another team that is very recommended to be used. Goalkeeper with skill of PK saving which could be used for penalty shootout. Decent wingbacks, good both at defending and going forward. Great center backs duo. Amazing midfields with Rakitic and Modric controlling the ball movement while Boban and Olic endlessly running down the wing. Decided to put Boban on the wing so the team rating will be higher with two upfronts, which is Suker and Boksic. Suker ready to be the fox in the box while Boksic penetrating through the defence with his dribble.

Subs bench also pretty decent, Mandzukic is ready to settle things down if needed, while Perisic will be useful to add some pace within the team while put down the wings. Kovacic covering the role of both Rakitic and Modric, legend Srna to fulfill the wingbacks position, and Kovac could also be used everywhere in the defensive part

WCCF 2016-2017 Unique Team - Los Cafeteros (Colombia National Team)

The Colombia national football team (Spanish: Selección de fútbol de Colombia) represents Colombia in international football competitions and is overseen by the Colombian Football Federation. It is a member of the CONMEBOL and is currently ranked seventh in the FIFA World Rankings. The team are nicknamed Los Cafeteros due to the coffee production in their country.

Since the mid-1980s, the national team has been a symbol fighting the country's negative reputation. This has made the sport popular and made the national team a sign of nationalism, pride and passion for many Colombians worldwide. Colombia is known for having a passionate fan base.

Colombia had its strongest period during the 1990s. A 1993 match resulted in a 5–0 win over Argentina which began a special "mutual respect" rivalry between both nations. The goalkeeper René Higuita achieved fame from his eccentric scorpion kick clearance against England at Wembley Stadium in 1995. Stars from Colombia's team included Carlos Valderrama and Faustino Asprilla. During this era Colombia qualified for the 1990, 1994, and 1998 World Cups, only reaching the second round in 1990. Following the death of Andrés Escobar after the 1994 World Cup, Colombia's team faded in the latter half of the 1990s. They were the champions of the 2001 Copa América, which they hosted and set a new Copa América record of conceding no goals and winning each match. Prior to that success, they were runners-up to Peru in the 1975 Copa América. In total, Colombia has gained a top four result in seven Copa Américas. Colombia was the first team to win FIFA best mover in 1993 where the achievement was first introduced and the second team after Croatia to win it twice in 2012.

Colombia missed three World Cups between 2002 and 2010. During the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Colombia showed improvement over the 2011 Copa América, bringing its rank up to the top ten for the first time since 2002 and into the top five consistently for the first time since 2004. After a 16-year-long wait, in 2014 Colombia finally returned to the World Cup, where they were able to advance to the quarterfinals, the furthest Colombia has ever made it in a World Cup. Colombia's midfielder James Rodríguez won two awards, the Golden Boot for most goals (6) and Best Goal of the Tournament.

The 1962 FIFA World Cup match against the USSR finished in a 4–4 tie after Colombia had been down 4–1, making it one of the biggest comebacks in World Cup history. In that game, Colombia had also scored a direct corner kick goal, also making it the only direct corner kick goal in World Cup history.

There is a special national team KP for Colombia National Team, ロスカフェテロス or Los Cafeteros (The Coffee Grower). Hence, it is possible to make a squad full of Colombian players. And here it is! Note the players chosen below are based on the best overalls and best position that suits all of the players available.

Best Player : Carlos VALDERRAMA (100/84) (categorically) / JAMES RODRIGUEZ (94)(statically)

Worst Player : Oscar CORDOBA (81)

Summary :

First of all sorry for putting the wrong Cordoba card. Fortunately, both the black card and the foil has the same KP and overall so it doesn't really matter, it will always be F regulation

This is team is very recomendded to be used. They have everything in all position. A goal poacher up front, speedy wingers, genius playmaker, well-balanced midfield, good fullbacks and deadly duo in the heart of defence. The goalkeeper has a good speed so could be good as a Libero Keeper.

On the bench, Bacca and Asprilla are ready to score the most needed goal. Asprilla is on the bench because he could be only be used as forward or right wing, hence Zuniga take place as the left winger, although his original position is left midfield. 

WCCF 2016-2017 Unique Team - La Roja Americana (Chile National Team)

The Chile national football team (Selección de fútbol de Chile) represents Chile in all major international football competitions and is controlled by the Federación de Fútbol de Chile which was established in 1895. The team is commonly referred to as La Roja ("The Red One").^[3][4][5] They have appeared in nine World Cup tournaments and were hosts of the 1962 FIFA World Cup where they finished in third place, the highest position the country has ever achieved in the World Cup. Since the mid to late 1960s, the Elo ratings ranks Chile among the 25 strongest football teams in the world.

Chile are the reigning Copa América champions; after winning 2015 Copa América on home soil, it successfully defended their title in the United States in the Copa América Centenario in 2016. Prior to this, Chile had been runners-up in the competition on four occasions. As a result of winning the 2015 Copa América, they qualified for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.

There is a special national team KP for Cameroon National Team, ラロハ or La Roja. Hence, it is possible to make a squad full of Chilean players. And here it is! Note the players chosen below are based on the best overalls and best position that suits all of the players available.

MF Marco ESTRADA (12-13 Regular Card / Montpellier Herault SC)

Team stat :

Overall : 1385 Points / 86.6 Points on Average

Regulation : U-5R

KP : ラロハ

コンビネーション攻撃と各々人につく守備が特徴

Combination attack and character defensive for each person

Best Player : Ivan ZAMORANO (100/90) (categorically) / Alexis SANCHEZ (93)(statically)

Worst Player : Jorge Palacios VARGAS (77)

Summary :

There are only 2 defenders available for the Chile team, it is also included Medel who already converted to MF in the recent yeras, so it is actually only 1 defender available. So, 2 of the defensive minded players have to be converted to CB and 3 at the back is the only option available. It is not that difficult to figure out the rest of the positions.

Worth to try. Although lack of defensive players, Chile has an awesome midfield, dangerous wings and lethal striker. The midfield is well balanced with Vidal bossing the mid, the wingers are completing each other, with Alexis can provide the cut in and Isla can close down any wingers try to penetrate the left area. Zamorano is good with his feet and his head, so both delivering crosses or through pass will work.

The bench, not too bad, although there is no defender available to select. Estrada is good with freekick, if an injury time freekick is needed. Salas is ready from the bench to turn things up.

WCCF 2016-2017 Unique Team - Les Lions Indomptables (Cameroon National Team)

The Cameroon national football team, nicknamed in French Les Lions Indomptables (The Indomitable Lions or Untameable Lions), is the national team of Cameroon. It is controlled by the Fédération Camerounaise de Football and has qualified seven times for the FIFA World Cup, more than any other African team (in 1982, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2010 and 2014). However, the team has only made it once out of the group stage. They were the first African team to reach the quarter-final of the World Cup, in 1990, losing to England in extra time. They have also won five Africa Cup of Nations titles.

There is a special national team KP for Cameroon National Team, 不屈のライオン or The Indomitable Lions. Hence, it is possible to make a squad full of Cameroonian players. And here it is! Note the players chosen below are based on the best overalls and best position that suits all of the players available.

Compact, systematic defense and passive work that players are actively move (similar to Tiki-Taka)
Best Player : Samuel ETO'O Fils (95)

Summary :
It's a fun squad to use. Eto'o as the main threat up front, decent trio midfielders that all can win the ball, nice defends with Matip leading the line, and killer wingers with pacey left side and never-ending right side. On the bench, Mboma ready to change things when the team needs to and all of the subs cover many important things in the team so they all are going to be used 

WCCF Unique Team - Hightowers FC

Hello guys, long time no post!

Here I bring you one of the most unique team in the newest WCCF, that is, Hightowers FC !

What is this? This team, literally, consists of hightowers from all available cards that WCCF had released. That doesn't mean I put every goalkeepers (because many of them are 2 metres high) in striker, midfield or defender position. They are the hightowers from every position, so the formation you're going to see is realistic and useable in WCCF game. They are based on their points and their heights. So, without further of due, this is Hightowers FC!

I use an unorthodox 3-2-2-1-2 formation for this team, because of some reasons :

1. All of the hightowers from DF position are playing centerback. So, ideally, 3 at the back is the most realistic formation in modern football

2. There's no winger available to use. Socrates (192 cm) is actually an AMF or SS, but he is versatile and can play in any midfield position. But, he is left the only winger that can be used, so using wingers isn't an option here

3. I actually wanted 3 up front, but they are all woking as target men, so 3 strikers are not ideal. Hence, I put an AMF behind 2 strikers upfront. Kanu is actually a forward, but during his time in Arsenal, he often played AMF, so that's why Kanu is there

Here's the starting lineup (and their height) :

FW 0708 Nikola ZIGIC - 2.02 m
FW 0708 Peter CROUCH - 2.02 m
FW 0203 Nwankwo KANU - 1.97 m

MF 0708 YAYA TOURE - 1.91 m
MF 0203 SOCRATES - 1.92 m
MF 1415 Nemanja MATIC - 1.94 m
MF 0405 Patrick VIEIRA - 1.92 m

DF 1314 Per MERTESACKER - 1.99 m
DF 1213 Joel MATIP - 1.98 m
DF 1112 Daniel VAN BUYTEN - 1.97 m

GK 0708 Zejko KALAC - 2.02 m

And the subs. I'm going 2 FW, 2 MF and 1 DF. That's the ideal subs selection for WCCF game

FW 0708 Luca TONI - 1.96 m
FW 0910 Zlatan IBRAHIMOVIC - 1.95 m
MF 1011 Abou DIABY - 1.92 m
MF 1314 Simon ROLFES - 1.91 m
DF 0910 Rio FERDINAND - 1.96 m

To sum this up : Long ball won't work against these guys, solid defense, scary midfield and powerful forwards. 3 at the back could be dangerous for any team using it, but 3 hightowers at the back should be a challenge for the opposing team. Midfielders supported by Matic and Vieira as defensive midfield brings terror around the pitch, Yaya should be playing defensive but Vieira has better defense than him so I put Yaya in CAM instead. Kanu and Socrates as creative midfielders, bringing crosses (maybe?) for the 2 guys waiting at the box like a boss, 2 metres duo Zigic and Crouch

That's it for the Hightowers FC. Recomended for those who like to experiment with WCCF cards, and the team is decent enough and fun enough to play with. Not bad for a try!

Cheers.

PK Taker : Pandiani

Captain : Bowyer (Stamina Up)

Offence Key Player : Hleb (RARE : Phantom Dribbiling)

Defence Key Player : Carrick (Defense-minded Organization)

Support Key Player : Pablo (Man Mark)

Pretty solid team , but worried about the forwards. Goalkeeper already covered by duo Seaman and Hart. Reliable defenses with Pablo and Winterburn as the CB. Traore and Finnan also good while attacking also as a defender. Midfield, Carrick and Bowyer in the middle of the park. Zarate who is originally a forward is pull backward as a midfielder, also with his KP Free Roll he can be placed everywhere in the field. Hleb, with his speed and technique and also a rare KP would be a good right winger. And the thing I worried the most, forwards. Consist of powerful aged Pandiani and speedster Martins (I put the wrong Martins in the image). Their overall are horrible, but well supported by their midfielders and defenders, so would be a great deal to make this team

Thanks for your attention, I will post a new unique team soon !

PK Taker : Shearer
Captain : Given (Stamina Up)

Offence Key Player : Shearer (Finish Work)
Defence Key Player : Ooijer (Covering Emphasis)
Support Key Player : Given (RARE : Magnet Hands)

Well if I could summed up this team, great at attacking but worst at defending. Goalkeeper is ok, with his rare kp, would be a lifeline on penalty shootout. Forwards consist of the Blackburn deadly duo, Shearer and Bellamy, which they have special cooperation between them. Midfields are fully experienced players. Duff and Djorkaeff as the wingers, Ardiles as deep lying playmaker and Vogel as solid defensive midfielder. Defenders... Yup, they are decents. But still, a good team to create. Also, Fowler and Gomes as your secret weapons, This team is worth a try !

Thanks for your attention, I will post a new unique team soon !

WCCF Unique Team - Aston Villa

Hey ! Long time no posting. Hehe, been busy around here. Anyway, I just discovered a great program called WCCF Combination Viewer which can be accessed here :

http://www.sodensakae.com/CombinationViewer.aspx

So then I have some ideas to post any unique team that can be formed using all WCCF cards that available. So yes, I start researching and create my first unique team, Aston Villa ! Here is the formation :

GK 0809 ATLE Peter SCHMEICHEL

DF 0405 White Wilfred BOUMA
DF 0809 Black Olof MELLBERG
DF 1112 White Gary CAHILL
DF 1112 ATLE Martin KEOWN

MF 1112 Black Jean IL MAKOUN
MF 1112 Black Gareth BARRY
MF 1112 White Ashley YOUNG
MF 1112 White James MILNER
MF 0405 WSA Robert PIRES

FW 0405 Black Milan BAROS

Subs :
FW 0506 White John CAREW
MF 0506 White Nolberto SOLANO
MF 0405 White Eric DJEMBA-DJEMBA
DF 0506 White Habib BEYE
DF 0102 White Martin LAURSEN

A pretty good team. Legendary Big Pete as your goalkeeper, you won't be worry in penalty shootout. Solid back four, but worried about the speed. The sidebacks available for this Aston Villa are decents, so I put Bouma and Keown instead as sidebacks. And hell, they've got some great midfielders there. 2 solid defensive midfielders, 2 creative wingers and a brilliant attacking midfielder. And to top it, Milan Baros as your finisher. Such a team.

For subs, pretty decent subs there. They're the best subs available. For defenders, I confused about them, but put Laursen and Beye as final decision. Laursen because with his small points he still a great defender. And then Beye with his wide covering range

So that's it. Aston Villa team in WCCF that you can try. Try it yourself, and find out the result
