Uruguay is
one of the first ever world-class national teams. Hector Scarone, Jose Leandro
Andrade and Jose Nasazzi were a key player of its legendary team as one of the
most international dominant sides and one of the most decorated team in history of football, formed
in the 1920s. Obdulio Varela's leadership unforgettably influenced history of the nation to win the 1950 World Cup surprisingly. The mid-1950s saw Juan Schiaffino as the best footballer in South Americas and
has been remembered as one of the best players in the World during the first
half 1950s. Enzo Francescoli led Uruguay to the great achievement in
Copa America during the late 1980s to early 1990s.. Uruguay returned to achieve
internationally once again in the first half 2010s under the most extraordinary
player Luis Alberto Suarez.

Formation XI (5-3-2)
Explanation Of
Formation
The team strategy is
counter-attack, applying the hard tackle tactic and emphasis the protective strength
in middle line. Marzurkiewicz is a great
wall keeper of the team. The Two Andrade is an applied wing-back from
traditional wing-half position. Nasazzi is a true leader in defensive line to
sweep as a final wall and Santamaria is responsible for stopping the opponents in
front of him together with Godin. O.Varela would play as destroyer as a
captain of the team. Francescoli is a main creator in midfield area and would
go advance occasionally. Schiaffino's role is positioned in more advanced area than
Francescoli to link the game between midfield and forward line. There is no
target-man is this formation system. Scarone and Luis Suarez is a coordinated
du-o to make scores.

ReplyDeleteLuis Suarez is the top scorer with 40 Goals
OK, thanks you very much !
DeleteI think that the Class of Álvaro Recoba and Severino Varela is wrong.
ReplyDeleteExcellent notice !
DeleteDear, Readers
ReplyDeleteI have added profile of Ricardo Pavoni in the museum as a result from review in El Grafico Rating.
Schubert Gambetta data of birth: 14/04/1920.
ReplyDeleteOK Thanks
DeleteAlvaro Recoba BIRTH IN 1976.
ReplyDeleteI am very surprised to see that schiaffino class is not King but queen.i think he is one of the best players ever.can you explain me why? Thanks
ReplyDeleteSchiaffino absent too many games in international country career although he was very successful in world cup final tournaments, notably for scoring decisive goals. If consider only world cup tournament, it is still difficult to rate him in King-Class. Schiaffino just played better than Zizinho in the final match of the 1950 World Cup but the remainder of the previous round saw a formidable Zizinho dominating the games. He was also too far from the best player of the tournament in 1954. With AC Milan, he achieved only twice world-class seasons and was much decline in following seasons.
DeleteYou've stated that Nasazzi: World Cup Participation : 1970 (4 Games)
ReplyDeleteI understand you meant to say 1930 WC.
Excellent work, by the way!
With the scorecard you've just posted, Luis Suarez now deserves to be in the main squad. I sympathy with your large workload but I just want a completed directory. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNot need to sympathy, thanks for notification. He is deserved to replace Petrone fore sure but please give me a time.
DeleteIn the players biographies, could you list Diego Forlan's position ? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about Julio César Abbadie (forward in the 50's and 60's) and William Martínez (defender in the 50's and 60's)?
ReplyDeleteI have not found any outstanding information/record about them.
DeleteWhere's Pedro Cea?
ReplyDeleteHe was a reputable star in the 1930 World Cup but the competitive standard is very low and his record in club career are short amount.
DeletePedro Cea
Deletewinner 1x World Cup, 2x Olympics, 2x Copa America, all-star team world cup 1930.
44º IFFHS' XX Century of South America.
In my opinion Cea is the player of a higher class than Petrone or Romano. Maybe their level is equal, but in almost all elections and ranking Cea is higher than they.
For example, last interesting ranking of "Kaiser Football" magazine (in Spanish) Top 100 pre-TV era (1900-1958), or "Top 100 Mejores jugadores del mundo (1900-1958)".
Uruguayan:
7. José Leandro ANDRADE
13. Obdulio VARELA
23. Juan Alberto SCHIAFFINO
31. José NASAZZI
41. Alcides GHIGGIA
45. Héctor SCARONE
48. José Pedro CEA
59. Roque MÁSPOLI
61. Héctor ‘Manco’ CASTRO
87. Pedro PETRONE
90. José PIENDIBENE
92. Ángel ROMANO
That's interesting. I see he is widely rated as one of top players in major international tournament most notable 1930 World Cup. There is few of article about his club career but at the first assumption, his prime year during the second half of 1920s, was spending without any trophy with Nacional (1927 - 1930). The Uruguayan league was not held between 1925 - 1926 also, that means he played only six full seasons and is not enough to rate higher.
DeleteI think Diego Godín will deserve a spot in the squad when he retires, and also a quite high one (at least in the reserves...). Do you agree, Dearman?
ReplyDeleteDiego Godin deserves be in reserve squad of Uruguay because he has been the soul of Atletico - the team famous for agressive and certainty defend line in recent years, helps the team becomes a big club in the Europe. He's underrated, but I think he has gotten 3 ordinary international-class seasons. I hope you can reconsider it.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have done 3 international-class according to media rating but I set standard of qualification at five. Let follow his progression in the next seasons.
DeleteThe number 19 pic is Recoba and the profile is rocha. There's a mistake.
ReplyDeleteOK, thanks for notice and I already revised.
DeleteSome Recoba's information is wrong (Height, Major Club, Caps, WC Participation, Individual Achievement). And he won 2x the Uruguayan League (2012 and 2015).
ReplyDeleteI don't find Hector Castro.where is he?
ReplyDeleteHe was mainly reputable for his performance in the 1930 World Cup but I'm doubt if he was consistent in overall career. As checked in the poll/selection (IFFHS or above source), he has never been appeared among top group.
DeleteEras Greatest Uruguayan Footballers:
ReplyDelete1900s: Juan Pena. (Source: IFFHS "Fussball- Weltzeitschrift" 1988, № 13)
He is automatically qualified as there were no other famous Uruguayan legend at that time.
DeleteYou made a mistake, it`s Juan Pena, not Jose Pena. And what do you think about Eusebio Tejera (he was a defender in the 1950 world cup final)?
ReplyDeleteSchubert Gambetta played like a half back, the same position of José Andrade and Víctor Andrade, so I think that you have to put his position as Defensive Midfielder/ Right-Back (adapting his right-half position to the comtemporary positions).
ReplyDeleteMaxi Pereira have most caps
ReplyDeleteforlan retired and Pereira holds the record now
and also Luis Suarez is Queen Silver but he is not ranked in top 10 list at the bottom
ReplyDeleteThanks you. Already updated.
DeleteAlvaro Recoba's major club should be set at Inter Milan not Sao Paulo
ReplyDeleteOK, revised.
DeleteEdinson Cavani certainly deserved a place. Their numbers are exceptional. Very regular and prolific.
ReplyDeleteHe is now only closed with 4 domestic international-class (require at least five to be created profile). Also, he performance in NT level is not qualified.
DeleteHere Roberto Matosas is above Hugo De León, but in "Rest of Latin Americas" De León is above Matosas. Who was better in your opinion?
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be Matosas as a better one since De Leon was either not a regular first team player or get injury until out of the majority of season. Let revise.
DeletePereyra is in reserves and Montero in substitution list, but this is your ranking in "rest of latin americas":
ReplyDelete8. Hugo de Leon (URU)
9. Carlos Gamarra (PAR)
10. Dario Pereyra (URU)
11. Ivan Cordoba (COL)
12. Alberto Quintano (CHL)
13. Paolo Montero (URU)
So, why Montero is in substitution list?
OK, Montero was selected as he could also play as left-back but the formation XI is 5-3-2 wing back so full-back is not needed. Pereyra is now in squad.
DeleteThanks. And why Andreolo is in substitution list and Gonçalves in reserves?
DeleteYour ranking of defensive midfielder in "rest of latin americas":
3. Nestor Goncalves (URU)
4. Manuel Fleitas Solich (PAR)
5. Michele Andreolo (URU)
I omitted to update after implementing in 9x100 positional ranking that let the change between Andreolo and Goncalves. Now Goncalves is already in squad.
DeleteWilliam Martínez? One of the greatest defensive player from Uruguay in 1950~60s.
ReplyDeleteI know this name but I'm not sure if he is great enough. Refer to this link created by msioux http://www.xtratime.org/forum/348-history-football/269183-best-south-american-players-50s.html, he is not rated that high but I'm not saying this list is accurate. Do you have more support info ?
DeleteI would suggest Raúl Pini for the Positional Ranking of Substitution here or at least for the Positional Ranking in the Rest of the Latin Americas thread.
ReplyDeleteI found some articles that depict him as one of the best Uruguayan players of the 40s, and one of the best all time Uruguayan defenders as well. He dominated both the Uruguayan league with Nacional (4 titles) and the Colombian league (with the famous "El Dorado" Millonarios, along with Rossi, Di Stéfano, Pedernera, Zuluaga and so on).
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%BAl_Pini
https://www.imortaisdofutebol.com/2013/04/13/esquadrao-imortal-millonarios-1949-1953/
I find a error between here and "rest of latin americas" ranking:
ReplyDeleteHere: 1) Oscar Miguez, 2) Atilio Garcia
Rest of latinamerica: 1) Atilio Garcia, 2) Oscar Miguez
OK, Thanks.
DeleteI think that the error is this page, not in "rest of latin america". In your positional hall of fame, Atilio García is the number 77 and Oscar Míguez is 85.
DeleteNo mention for Cavani?
ReplyDeleteHe is mentioned in the rest of Latin american positional ranking but have not been great enough to be made profile for now (Lower than 5 international-class seasons.
DeleteFor DBS Calcio he got 6,5 for 12/13 , 6,53 for 10/11 , 6,85 for 16/17 and a 6,49 for 13/14. For the actual season he is rated 7.04.
DeleteRoberto Porta - Date of birth: June 7, 1913, not February 27, 1965
ReplyDeleteJ.L. Andrade Class King Bronze
ReplyDeletehe was the pele of his time
Schiaffino and Francescoli at least Queen Gold the belong to the best Southamerican players of all time
Carlos "Pato" Aguilera was a good striker for Genoa in a really strong italian league. He could be a descent choice for Minor reserved group if needed. Think that Cavani should be included he got really good seasons with PSG and Napoli.
ReplyDeleteCavani should be added soon, right? He is so good and has been able to score so many goals for PSG as well as many CHL goals too. He just destroyed Portugal, of course with the help of the godlike assist from Suarez too. Many people credit Cavani to having probably the best attacking awareness or attacking positioning in recent times. He knows exactly where to stand to get the ball, he reads the game so well in the penalty area, and can also score bangers. He is by far better than Forlan too, Let's just remember that Forlan has only 300 goals in 800 games, which is extremely bad if you think about it. Cavani>>>Forlan. Goals and assists are not everything, sure but for attackers it surely is the most important thing to be able to do well.
ReplyDeleteHe surely appear in the list but let the tournament ended before.
DeleteCavani profile has been added in reserved group. I decide to remove Severino Verela whose career is very short. He played just 170 matches approximately in overall club career and did not make special scoring record.
DeleteHey that's great! thank you so much for doing that! :)
DeleteYou got his score record wrong though, or just didn't update it yet i don't know, but it's 323 goals in 530 matches(not including national team, also not counting friendly club matches)
Why Godin isn't in the best XI? He is rated higher than Ancheta now and is the best uruguayan defender by far of the last 30 years.
ReplyDeleteI agree Godin should have surpassed Ancheta to be a starter.
DeleteReally waiting for that Argentina + Uruguay team.. would love to see your take on it, Naratorn.
ReplyDeleteGodin is the most capped player
ReplyDeleteWhen Francescoli is the best Player of Uruguay (above schiaffino and andrade) and the best Player of rest of latin america (above Figueroa, cubillas, etc.) he should have at least queen Gold if not king class
ReplyDeleteI think I did not update some class of players that were effected from reevaluation in PHF. Thanks.
DeleteWhere is Severino Varela?
ReplyDeleteOK, I just add him.
ReplyDeletePablo Forlán was a right-back, not left.
ReplyDeleteI think that the case of Andreolo is different to the case of Monti, Sívori, Di Stéfano or Orsi. I think that Andreolo doesn't have to be in this team. I explain why: 0 matches played with Uruguay vs 26 played with Italy; 3 years in Nacional with 35 matches vs 8 years in Bologna with 165 matches + 7 years in Lazio, Napoli, Catania and Forti with 107 matches
ReplyDeleteI just know he was born to Italian immigrant to Uruguay so I compromise to move him to Italy squad. Thanks for addressing this one.

DeleteHow is Scarone not Queen Gold?? He is easily one of the best in his position ever. Also one of the most winning players with national team just below Nasazzi. He won the two olympics, which were considered world cups back then(FIFA said so too) Plus he won the first FIFA world cup. Lots of copa america medals as well. He both have the titles and scoring stats to back up QG rating.
ReplyDeleteLove your work, but I think Scarone needs an update here, Naratorn.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteJose Gimenez has already been world class for Atletico.
ReplyDeletePereyra and Montero are better than Ancheta. Cavani is greater than Morena.
Nasazzi most decorated national team footballer in history. Best player of Uruguay in my opinion
ReplyDeleteI think in light of his placement in the positional ranking Cavani should be in prince gold class.
ReplyDeleteNasazzi King bronze scarone and schiaffino queen gold
ReplyDeleteYou rate inconsistent players like Ronaldinho queen gold while consistent gods like scarone and schiaffino get silver?? come on nowwwwwwww
kind of weird to see golden era players like these not even qualify for higher ratings when lesser players on other teams do. Liedholm QG but not any of these? I really hopy you will re evaluate this whole Uruguay team because it seems unfair and kind of doesn't make sense to me as a reader.
well done overall but this urugauy team needs an update, don't you think?
Luis Alberto Cubilla ranked in 11st position between best South American Players of the Century in IFFHS Ranking... I think he deserve at least "Prince Gold".
ReplyDeleteAnyway, fantastic job, my friend.
Tieni d occhio Darwin Nunez del benfica...considerato da molti come il nuovo cavani. Ps. Cavani ha ampiamente superato fernando morena. La sua carriera in Europa tra Napoli, psg e man utd parla chiaro.
ReplyDeleteCan Álvaro Gestido be in the defensive lateral substitution list alongside Ricardo Pavoni and Pablo Forlán? He played in the left-wing-half position in a 2-3-5 formation, so today he can be a left-wing-back.
ReplyDeleteRecoba nella tabella 50 lo inseriresti tra i trequartisti o le seconde punte come fatto con Rivaldo, cruyff, Keegan e Totti? Mentre alzamendi tra le ali o sempre seconde punte? Ho notato che è l unico col ruolo attacco laterale ad essere nella tabella delle ali nella classifica delle 100 posizioni.
ReplyDeleteDiego Costa merita una menzione non trovi? Tra atletico e Chelsea 5 stagioni di livello non si possono negare soprattutto considerata la carenza di punte spagnole valide nel passato.
ReplyDeleteVolevo pubblicarlo sulla Spagna, errore mio.
ReplyDeletePato aguilera vedo che ti viene spesso suggerito ma mai menzionato...Ha fatto bene in copa america vincendone una da capocannoniere e grandi stagioni pure in una serie a difficile tra genoa e Torino. Sottovalutato. Nel genoa fece una coppa uefa straordinaria con 8 reti in 9 gare e doppietta ad anfield nei quarti storica che eliminò il favorito liverpool. Prima vittoria di un italiana ad anfield!
ReplyDeleteFabián O'Neill ?
ReplyDeleteLol...is death
DeleteAccording to the other rankings you have made, I guess Luis Suarez must be the greatest Uruguayan player of all time
ReplyDeleteIl tuo sito è davvero straordinario ma una delle cose che lo rendono poco credibile è vedere fernando morena davanti a cavani...morena ha fatto una carriera straordinaria ma cavani ha fatto bene ovunque in giro per l Europa, Napoli, psg e manchester utd. Ha fatto male a valencia ma l età pesa e la situazione di squadra in generale era pessima. Ora accolto da eroe al boca, la sua carriera internazionale parla per lui. Dal dopoguerra in avanti dopo suarez e forlan l ultimo posto sul podio spetterebbe di diritto a lui tra gli attaccanti uruguaiano.
ReplyDeleteFederico Valverde Queen Bronze Class.
ReplyDeleteIt's very strange to have Andreolo back again in the team, a player with 0 matches for Uruguay and 26 matches for Italy... Why did you add it again?
ReplyDeleteDid you rated Julio Pérez, a forward that won the 1950 world cup with Uruguay?
ReplyDeleteI name him in advanced midfielder list of positional ranking of american footballer in Americas Football Hall of Fame
