Top 10 Versatile Players You Can Buy

Whether we are just starting out in the Master League or Master League Online, funds tend to be very limited. This restricts us from signing decent players to serve as backup to the starting eleven. But if there are versatile players in our team, players that can play in 6 or more different positions, it will be a bonus to us since they can provide cover for a number of players.

Criteria

In this post are the top 10 versatile players in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 that are ‘buyable’, meaning that top players who plays for top clubs will not be included in this list, since it is like unlikely that a new team can afford them. Thus, I will rule out the top 200+ players, and only include players below the rating of 82. And since money is an issue, estimated transfer fees will be below 10 million euros. In fact, the players in this list are all cost 7 million euros and below.

In addition, I am sure most of us will not wish to sign a player whose abilities are on a decline. As a result, players above the age of 30 will not be included as well.

In summary, the filters in place are
Play in 6 positions or more
Below 82 rating
Estimated transfer fee less than 10 million
Below the age of 30
