Simple answer. Palpatine can clous the entire light side of the force, he can use the future to his advantage. He knows everything that has happened to Anakin and he knows how to manipulate him into the darkness. Besides, someone as powerful as Sidious most certainly possesses some knowledge of the prophecy, so he's using it to his advantage. Even MECH Vader would kick the shit out of any prequel Jedi.
My guess is that the Palpmeister has several reasons for chosing Anakin.
Anakin is the most powerful Jedi in the Galaxy.
Anakin has a desire to change the Universe and the order of things. This all comes from his childhood were he was a slave and didn't have his own free will. Palpatine knows this and uses Anakins lust for power in order to lure him to the Dark Side.
All of Palpatines apprentices have been people with a desireto change things and to avenge something that they felt was unfair.

Just for argument sake.....
It is already well known that Anakin possess
more raw power in the force than any other jedi...
It is also known that he is very cocky and arrogant
with his powers...
Also, anakin can be manipulated by somebody that
can play up to his ego.....
and there you have it, the ultimate Sith Weapon
to bring down the Jedi....
