Stay tune for potential players, featuring young and explosive players!
i recommend for Pablo Piatti (AMC), mostly of his goals came from long shoot from second line..
i got him < 1M.
he was my1st AMC although i had kevin boateng, belluschi (bought 19 M), mattias fernandez-midfielder playmaker (bought 19 M)..
With him i was be able to defeat mostly oppositions like MU, Chelsea..
However his weakness at his stamina..we couldn’t always used him for full 90 minutes..
Just try..for lower spending budget
Yeah, he is under my Potential player list.
filipenko put him in a afflicted club wich will let him play and his numbers go sky wards(-500.000), giovinco (18.000.000) marchasio(13,000,000), owen(9,000,000) ben sahar is great after 3 years ,michael woods(3,000,000) but highly giovinco and marchasio
the best in the game
i have found a good goalkeeper called igor akinfeev he is very good he has got a clean sheet in the last 9 games for arsenal

Matias Fernandez - I brought him for 13.5m, Originally from Villarreal, Quick, good at dribbling,Reccomended player as he improves a lot because he is young.
Thiago - 7.5m (worth it) - Brazilian wonder boy, Very good. Improving quickly.
Genero Zeefuik - 1m - 18 year old from PSV, Improves very very quickly, he is good at dribbling, finishing. Reccomended. I firstly put him in my reserve squad, where he develops a lot. Brought him into my senior team, and he scored against chelsea.
Gelson Fernandes - Very consistent defensive midfielder for man city. Also young and quick, and good at set pieces.
Rolando Bianchi - just excellent !!
Silva from Valencia.
Bought him for Barcalona in my 2nd season, played 21 scored 18 and 17 assists… Also cost me 41 million though.
Luke Moore is my favorit player.He’s good dribbling,good long shoot and
finishing of the ball.
Danny Haynes ipswich about 250k at start will get 30+ goals a season
renato augusto is a brilliant buy…have to pay about 14 million but well worth it….got him for my portmouth team…starting line up

My dream team with Spurs in season 2009-2010
I Play a 3-5-2 (attacking) – Very important to have a well balanced team and to have creative and attacking WB´s.
I am unbeaten in the first half of the season, and the boys are really doing well.
GK – Paul Robinson (Solid keeper)
WBR – Rafinha (Good croses and a good attacking right wing)
WBL – Gareth Bale (Huge talent and one of the best left wings in the game so far)
DC – Johanathan Woodgate (Bought him in Boro “before the update came” and he is very strong)
DC – Ledley King (My Captain and the organiser of my defence, great leader and defender)
DC – Cesar Arzo (Strong and commanding defender from villarael who also score goals on corners)
MC – Luigi Buigi (Good passer from feynoord, talented and young, does not score that much)
MC – Romaric (Excellent player, attacking as well as defending, good balance player in midfield with great long shots, freekicks and so on. Was picked for the team of the year in PRM twice)
MC – Leonardo (Young creative midfielder with a lot of technique and tricks, passes excellent trough balls and score fantastic goals)
FC – Dimitar Berbatov (Player of the year in Spurs two years in a row, always delivers good performances and score about 25-30 a season)
FC – Nicholas Anelka (Finding himself very good with Berbatov on his side and scores 30-35 a season)
SB1 – Morgan Santis
SB2 – Younes Kaboul (very strong defender, my next Ledley King)
SB3 – Wienaldum (Very talented youngster who became very good)
SB4 – Fernando (Very strong defensive midfielder, who is substituted when we need to bring a close victory home)
SB5 – Henok Goitom (Super Striker, the next Berbatov)
I thought this site had quite a cool selection of players - http://www.thefootymanager.com/2007/11/11/football-manager-2008-future-stars/
Maxi Rodriguez is fantastic. Him alongside Drogba is amazing for Chelsea.
These are a couple of unknown players that do not have the best attributes but become fanatastic getting 8’s and 9’s in ever game they play in
craig cathcart (man united)
ryan conroy (celtic)
Jordan mcmillan (rangers)
Stefan Laird ( blackpool)
carlos vela
sunny
elano scores loads behind striker
chellini
anderson
makoun
insua
hamsik
giovinco
trezeguet
aguero from at madrid got me 47 goals befor the end of the season,
(pluss only 19 and is a wonder kid has some well placed goals)
van der vaart from hsv is some player if you play him in attacking mid with say like cambiasso from inter he gets some great long range goals,
these are my top players so far,
I am sheff u and Billy sharp is amazin he scored 15 in 7 for including a hat trick against chelsea in league cup but then he tore his calf and was out for rest of season and also try bogdan stancu and pablo piatti he scvored 5 in 6 and gt 7 assists
Aaritalo one of the best strikers you can buy
He is good from the beginning and improves a lot
He ends up playing for AC Milan
AARITALO must buy
i have found a few good players , all great youngsters.
Erland Thorvaldsen - fredrikstad
Ken Fagerberg - Orgryte
Eden Hazard - Lille
valter - padernese
all great youngsters , i highly recommend then
guys, try these players:
Lulinha-corinthians , Balazs dzudzsak, iriome, sakho, cesar delgado, lucas biglia
Some of my favorites:
Niklas bendtner /Arsenal
Andrea Barzaglia /Palermo
Damian Tissone / Atalanta
Jean Makoun /lille
Where on earth is Aguero, best creative striker on the game, and only 19!?!
Also
Evra (best left back)
Vidic
Craig Gordon (legendary keeper)
Frey
Van Der Saar
A lot of these players are really expensive to buy, i partucularly like playing in the cocacola championship and i found these great players which are probably good enough for premiership teams :
Winston Parks (free)
Bogdan Stancu (170k)
Mika Aaritalo (80k)
Sortris Ninis (750k)
Dalibor Volas (80k)
Frazier Campbell (on loan)
Gabriel Torje (<500k)
there is a lot of interest in these players and all move fomr original teams pretty quick so only cheap at start of game
I have Barcelona in the second year. Some of my best players are
ANDREI ARSHAVIN (ZENIT) 10,25M (THE BEST)
MATIAS FERNANDEZ (VILLAREAL) 15,25
ADRIAN (DEPORTIVO) 29M
MIGUEL VELOSO(SPORTING) 35M
LUKA MODRIC (DINAMO ZAGREB) 21M
EZEQUEL GARAY (RACING) 12,5M
MARCELO (REAL) 15M HE WANTS THE PERFECT CONTRACT
RINCON (INTER) 1,5M
SAKHO (PARI) 1,6M
PAPASTATHOPOULOS 3M (AEK)
just a few people who i have found on football manager who are good and not seen you guys post

abubakari yakubu drc,wbr,dm great buy and is very cheap
joe ledley dl,mlc comes realy good after 3 seasons
breno cb wonderkid and after 3 season is a top center half

guilherme am/fc this guy is good from the strat but after a few seasons just scores for fun
kevin monnet-paquet aml-fc great after 3 seasons aswell ratings good up fast
just a few young players and cheep buys i can remember off the top of my head
try: henri saivet, sidnei, luinha,carlos vela,javi martinez
oh, and also aaron ramsay
A good few signings for lower premiership teams or top spl and championship teams are.
David Clarkson ( Motherwell)
David Leighterwood ( Nottingham Forest)
Alan Lowing ( Rangers)
Cillian Sheriidan ( Celtic)
Giorgios Efrem ( Rangers)
Steven Wonder ( Newcastle)
Anlasto Webbo ( Milan) the next pirlo
Stefan Laird ( Blackpool) the next Joey Barton
Renato Augosto ( indipendiante)
Adebayor is awesome if you play attacking football, but you need some quality midfielders for him to be really effective (he works well with players like maxi rodriguez, rosinski and nasri
i found a good goalkeeper
I am playing for stoke city and i bought Vincent Enyeama, he is nigerian and i got him for 3.25 million
you guys should take a lower league team such as teams in the championships or lower or even conference…Much more challenging to develope a quality team.
you guys who be the top teams such as arsenal, chelsea, man utd, barcelona etc. think your really good but your really NOT! you will quit after u lose like 2 games in a row…..
ok ok people. ive bin playin dis game for years and you dont know anything. here goes.
Matias fernandez= shite( good stats awful performance)
Bojan=amazing
Henry when signed away from barca is the best in the game by far
Kerlon( amazing stats and performance, costs 3.3m)
Ageuro( in AMC is an assist machine as he is not that prolific)
Juve duo Giovinco + Marchisio are incredible but pricy
Arshavin only in AMC is one of the best attacking midfielders
Modric sucks so much trust me on this
Piatti is one of the best youth players in the game
Chiellini best left back in both stats and performance
Makoun is a quality defensive midfielder
Rafinha and alves for the right back position
Bianchi has amazing stats but doesnt deliver
so…..
Goalkeepers from best first,
Cech,Ustari,Frey
Defenders,
Chiellini,Rafinha,Vidic,Nesta,Corluka
Midfield,
Pirlo(my god!), lampard,iniesta,ronaldo(only put in AMR), silva, makoun, giovinco,marchisio
Forwards,
Henry(even at 30 just do it), huntelaar,balotelli,toni, Fat ronaldo, van nistelrooy, palacio, trezeguet, crespo is still amazing all he needs is a move to get going, torres, cabanas(mexico)
Hope you find this useful I dont mean to come off as an arrogant sob I just think its useless with all these people recommending players based on their stats when they deliver awful performances, jus wanna share years of experience tis all!! peace x
I signed a player called josh wright from charlton
brought him 4 500k and now hes worth 6 million after 1 season as a regualar winger for arsenal
hi im newcastle united on my game and at the begining i changed the bank balence of all the premier league clubs at least 20million higher.
The players i highly recommend that i have bought are . . .
DEFENDERS
. Fernando Meira: 8 million(i have bought him cheaper on other saves)
. Mathieu Delpiere 3 million(bargin very good defender not on my team
Midfielders
. Van der Vaat 12.75 million ( STAR PLAYER MUST BUY)
. Jean II Makoun 10 million (exellent defensive midfielder)
.jeremy menez 8.75 million (very good left winger with potential)
Strikers
. vagner Love 8.25 million(very good striker improves alot)

guys you all suck!!! the best player in FM08 is me… hehe…
if you don’t know who i am, it’s gona be hard for you to find me and buy me for your team… yust playing with you guys… XD
for real now: i always buy players that can be a real benefit to my club at the moment i buy them, not to hawe to wait for years for them to develop in to some quality players…
bruno formigoni brilliant dm player(better than ever banega!!!) and only 17 u can pick him up for 300,000 from brazil(cant remember which team) play in reserves for 1 season then start him in first team after 3 seasons worth 14,000,000!!!!
You aren’t true fm players if u are buying players around 20 million try going a weaker team with a tight budget…some useful signings are Steven Defour (standard liege)got for 2.25m …Alex (vasco da gama u20’s) got for 700k … kleberson got on a free very versatile !!!
