Michael Carrick

Spoiler: show

Talented holding midfielder, Carrick has won over 10 caps for England at international level. He joined Manchester United in 2006 from West Ham and has played regular first team football since his arrival. During the 2007/08 season he made a good contribution in both domestic and UEFA Champions League competition despite his manager's rotation policy. Carrick has impressive vision, distribution and good positional sense.

In case it was missed at the bottom of the last page

I'd personally rather see him 1 point lower in Balance (a compromise considering the differing views we had in ballmers own thread), Short Pass Speed and Teamwork (thought this was actually agreed on?). On the other hand, I think Shot Power could be a point higher (not as important though). Also, you forgot to change his Aggression when you updated it so I've done that already

Given the dispute over it, 80 is the fairest compromise.

Set works a treat mate

[CR7]

Been top class this season; no two ways about it.

[ballmer]

Some amazing stats this season:

TS and DS drop? I don't see why he is on 77, he's slow and even doesn't use his speed much.

[cris]

He is not that slow. He has decent speed for central midfielder. He is certainly faster than the likes of Terry and Mertesacker who are just a few points below him.

[Rossa]

Carrick is a bit slow off the mark, but once up to speed he's actually remarkably fast. He often catches players on a longer run and rarely loses to anyone. His acceleration and agility are not the best though.

[Brezza]

Needs updating with Ballmer's latest tweaks, works like a treat in game. I agree that Top speed could stay on 77 and acc on 75.

[Mr. Evans]

Gave him some tweaks, think we should go with white ACC though.

[Alexalibur]

Had a nice game today. He looks like some sort of late peaker.

[CR7]

That shot he had was fucking traveling. Didn't even look like he hit it hard but Kenny was well beaten.

Seriously, 90% pass completion and 94% tackle success over a season!

I'm a Carrick fanboy.

[iman]

most of passes are near and easy he can send good passes but he isnt on good condition anymore and dont think he will be better......this man even cannt see players in free space!!

he isnt good player maker at all.

[jurgens]

maybe his passes are "easy" but there is a much better quality in his passes than a 84 spa would suggest. Hes a really nice passer.

[Rossa]

Iman: Carrick has more long passes and forward passes than Xavi, whom I'm sure you would rate as arguably the best passer in the world! That is the problem with Carrick, he is so massively underrated. He is by far the second best passer at United - his only problem is that Scholes is there too, and I don't know of a better long range passer than him!

This season, Carrick has pulled off some amazing long range passes - like the one to Nani last match!

[Yazid]

SPA is harsh, seeing as yaya toure sits on 87, carrick 84? He is at least 85, probably 86 imo.
