Totti417 474 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Name: Ivan Graf Squad: Tavria (Ukraine) Position: CB/CF Age: 23 Rating: 78 Status: In Database Stats 2011: 16 matches, 1322 minutes logged Comment below if you have any opinions on this player. I don't have much to add other than the fact that he plays quite a unique position combination. He actually could be a useful fit to some squads who need him and he is still relatively young. He was just added to the database today. CB/CF? I never thought someone could out do Michel Bastos (Wing/LB). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BroodRoosterNL 10,833 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? CB/CF, yes that really is an interesting combination. Though he's not rated very high so don't think he's really useful in most GW's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kroitzz 3,606 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? It makes sense though. If he is tall he can win headers and depending on those around him he can do it in an attacking fashion or a defensive one. Could also make some good tackles higher up the park. It works in other sports, surprised it doesn't happen more in football really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nabu 502 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? van Buyten from Bayern München could be CB/CF as well. He is sometimes used as a CF for the last 15 minutes as he is tall, his headers are pretty good and even his shooting ability is not that bad (some sharp tongus say he's better as CF than as CB).

Totti417 474 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? I'd really like to see a goalkeeper with an outfield position. I'd love to have a GK/CF on my squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Phill Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? Have you guys forgotten about Chris Samba who was formerly CB/CF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pitung Drughi 1,790 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? In Indonesia League, there is a few CB who can play as CF (Abanda Herman, Nyeck Nyobe). And Toni Sucipto CB/RB/LB/DM/WING. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt Graf will have his rating changed for a while. First of all, because they don't review the Ukrainian league as much as the more influential leagues. Second of all, they just added him today so they reviewed him and gave him a rating according to his current performances, so his rating is not inaccurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Totti417 474 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? Another CB/CF recently got added to the database. Goes by the name of Dan Collette. Plays for Jeunesse Esch in Luxembourg. Not a big prospect, but fun to see another CB/CF player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael1 18 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Re: Ivan Graf - CB/CF? About 17 or 18 years ago there was a player called Paul Warhurst, who played for Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn that was adept at either CB/CM/CF as far as I remember. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Warhurst Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ricardo Pedriel - CF/AM Gerard Pique of Barcelona could easily be a CB/CFDanni Avdic......Werder Bremen CF/AM That was a strange one too CF/AM looks strange, but when you think about it, they are both still attacking positions. CF/CB are two polar opposites. I guess the only things stranger than CF/CB would be CF/GK or CF/RB or CF/LB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
