Evolution of Gareth Bale from a defender to a forward is really admirable. The 16-year-old Welshman was just getting some first-team action at Southampton when in 2007, Football Manager made some astonishing claims. The game went on to predict that Bale would transform into a forward and an explosive one, as well.

But, once again, the developers were not disappointed as at Tottenham, Bale pushed into an attacking role which turned him into a beast. His performances in England and in Europe earned him a record transfer to Real Madrid in 2013, where he is bullying with defences alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Oh, and did I mention that he is also a three-time Champions League winner? I must’ve forgotten.
