This is the updated list of players to look out for when playing Football Manager 2007. I looked through the comments and compiled to this list and I hope this satisfy all of you out there playing this wonderful game.
Goalkeeper
Kasper Schmeichel (Manchester City) - A future hot prospect capable of replacing your No. 1 GK. He is the son of former best GK in the world, Peter Schmeichel, who was Manchester United GK during the glory days.
Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow) - A strong and sturdy GK, bargain buy too.
Scott Carson (Liverpool) - Young and capable.
Defender
Micah Richard (Manchester City) - The best young English central defender, capable of fortifying your defence. You can get him at around 13 to 15 millions pounds.
Anthony Vanden Borre (Anderlecht) - Promising right-back who is capable of replacing your favourite right back in your team, anytime.
Leighton Baines (Wigan) - Hot English left-back, grab him before others do.
Marcelo (Fluminese) - A left-back who is capable of defending and assisting in attacking. Riise-alike.
Dani Alves (Sevilla) - One of the best defender in the game, grab him, if you have the money to spend.
Midfielders
Yohan Mollo (Monaco) - 16 years old. Future prospect. Can be bought at around 1 million pounds.
Cristian Benavente (Real Madrid C) - 16 years old. Great stats, can be improved to world-class level. He comes with a minimum release clause, however he does not want to leave as he said he cannot improve before he leaves.
Sherman Cardenas (Bucaramanga)- 17 years old. Good young midfielder with potential, capable of becoming the next Gerrard. Price tag: 1 million pounds. However he disappears when you update your game to version 7.0.2 and play with the new 7.0.2 database. So if you want him, you should play with the old database.
Freddy Adu (D.C United) - A good attacking midfielder, young and in need of experience to become better.
Yohan Gourcuff (A.C Milan) - Fantastic midfielder! Recommended by many FMers.
Denilson (Arsenal) - Young and capable midfielder, works well in the central midfield.
Attackers (Forwards)
Michael Owen (Newcastle) - 26 years old. You can buy him at the end of the first season as he is not playing regularly due to injury. Still a great scorer. Price tag: less than 10 million pounds, much lesser if Newcastle relegated.
Craig Lindfield (Liverpool) - 17 years old. Young and full of potential to become better. Relatively slow, but can be improved.
Theo Walcott (Arsenal)- 17 years old superb talent, full of power and speed. Sometimes you can buy him from Arsenal at around 15 millions but sometimes 50 millions. Depends on your luck.
David Villa (Valencia) - 25 years old. Come with a minimum release clause of 24 million which is much lower than the expected price. Great purchase.
Javier Saviola (Barcelona) - In Barcelona second team, you can get him for less than 10 million pounds. Capable of scoring regularly.
Nicolas Millan (Colo Colo) - Extremely young and capable scorer of his age. You can sign a youth contract with him only, but as he is young, you may encounter the work permit problem.
Bojan (Barcelona C) - Highly recommended by many FMers too. He is a good attacker at his age.
Anderson (FC Porto) - Also highly recommended by many FMers. You can try pairing him and Bojan.

STAR PLAYER in 3 years
Players that i reccomend:

Hugo Viana (Gamble but play him correctly and he will get many assists)
Sol Campbell (Old but solid, practically bulletproof)
Artur Boruc (Good stats for a few mil)
Jacek Bak (Old but good for lower league team)
Great striker is Henri Saivet - at the beginning of the game 16 years old, in Bordeaux, scores a lots of goals in every single team he plays for.
Midfielders: Rafael van der Vaart, expensive, but excellent. Celsinho (young, cheap, Locomotiv Moscow).
Defenders: Andrea Barzagli (Palermo), Marek Suchy (young, very cheap, in Slavia Prague, he is capable to play for great teams).
on my football manager career i started as havant & waterlooville.
ill admit i gave them some money and a few players like Pique and lupoli.
i have then brought players like joe hart and michael carrick to me.
i am now 2nd in Coca-Cola League 1 with a promotion every season.
i would recommend players like Bojan (ST) and Vito Mannone (GK)

when ever I try to play rooney for england it says suspended since begining of game why is dat?
now i cant find proper youth
i started another game & signed millan but i can’t send him affliate please help
I got of my Havant & W file so I decided to create a new one with Man Utd. The only major thing I did with the team was clear the debt, add some more money and put Fergie as my assistant. I then was about to send my scouts out when I found out that one of them has a report on a 14 year old that plays for Marsielle. And Fergie said he has potential to be the next Wayne Rooney. I was gob smacked lol.
Anyone got anymore tips just tell me coz I really need some good players lol
Having played this for a while i have a few players who become good. I had a Man Utd team that won the league 7 years in a row. Players i think are good are
Benoit Costil (GK) - Is young and very cheap at start (between £10k and £50k) plays for Caen, not the best stats at first but tutor him well and give him some loans and he becomes world class in his early 20’s
Omar Esparza (DL, DM, AMLC) - 18 year old Mexican who is versatile and develops into a goalscoring midfielder. Can pick him up for about £3m-£4m
Jose Luis Silva (AMC) - 15 year old at the start of the game and i had him tutored when i got him for £250k. Becomes very good in his early 20’s.
Gareth Bale (DL) - Pick him up for £2m roughly. Is ready to play at that age depending on who you managing. I sent him out on loan for a couple of seasons and after that he was fantastic. Good at crossing and set pieces.
Fernando Torres (SC) - Although not cheap he is probably the best striker on the game. I got him for Inter when Adriano sodded off to Chelsea. He and Ibrahimovich scored 74 goals between them in his first season.
Lasse Qvist (SC) - For a lower league club like the championship club he is a good signing, can be nurtured into a good player. Available for about £50k
