He probably is a regen as eneste guesses.
The lowdown on Delgado. His name is Dave, not Eric. He's rated at $4.8million and making $800 per week. Minimum fee release clause of $24million

He is 19 and appeared out of nowhere with Barcelona's first team as a free transfer on 1/1/2006.

He made 6 appearances, 5 of those starts that season.
In the 2006-07 season he has made 3 appearances, 1 of those a start. It's currently 11/25/06.

He was born in Foxboro. In physical attributes he is 15 or above in every category except stamina (12). Agility, Balance and Jumping are all 19.

Here are some good players if you are bringing a squad into the premier league... all these guys played well in the English premier league for me as well. I bought most of them between the ages of 22-24 and they all progressed rapidly.

Chris De Witte - Attacking Midfielder - Belgium
Tobias Hysen - Attacking Midfielder - Sweden
Kalle Ljungberg - Striker - Sweden
Nano - Attacking Midfielder - Spain
Mikael Yourrassowski - Defender - Belgium
Gabi Mudingayi - Defensive Midfielder - Belgium
Quincy Owusu Abeyie - Striker - Holland

[Chackett]

Chris Brunt from Sheffield Wednesday. Brought him to Wigan for the left wing for 35,000 transfer fee, 95k per year salary. Gave me 4 MoM performances on 0 goals but 16 assists. After promotion to the premier league, he scored 8 times, had 11 more assists, then broke his knee. He was a high flyer while he was healthy.

In my game Arsenal picked up some stud named Aruna, who has been doing really really well. Henry usually comes off the bench now.

that is aruna dindane, anderlecht - he is expected to move to a bigger club this summer, and has long been mentioned as a pompey target

[Theo]

Arouna Kone is also really good (and differnet from Arouna). i've had him on 2 separate saved games and he always seems to score in big games. he's got great dribbling and finishing and had 30 goals for me as my 3rd choice striker...

[Jules1]

some excellent wingers:

Downing from Noth. Forest
bierofka german
taddei from pisa (or other 2nd division team)

And one of the better strikers in the game which is out of contract is Mutu.. place him with farfan and you'll have a top scoring duo

[Danners9]

Downing plays for Middlesboro. He's made the england squad recently, but is injured at the moment.

Taddei plays for Siena, a 1st div club. In real life he's just joined Roma.

[johno]

trick... Kleberson can usually be had on the cheap and he is really something else... good stats to start with but by the time he hits 27 he's one of the best players in the game... his versatility is great. he's played DM/CM/LCM/RCM/LW/RW/AMC/LB/RB for me and he never complains about starting time. He's one of the guys I always get because he is cover for everywhere.

[sitati_kituyi]

Something different, I won't mention the expensive players in the game (the best of the best, IMO being GK - Casillas, CB - Terry, L/RB - Dede, DM - Vieira, AMC - Ronaldinho, AMR/L - Cristiano Ronaldo, SC - Schevchenko), I'll mention my pick of the ones who can come for more modest fees.

I know the impact is lost by naming large lists of players, so I'll keep my list short. IMO the players listed here are FANTASTIC players who are semi-household names, not the well known stars:

GK: My two picks:
- Maarten Stekelenburg, young Ajax keeper (fantastic both in game and real life)
- Igor Akinfeev, CSKA Moscow keeper (again, a great player in real life too)

Def: My two picks:
- Nigel de Jong, Ajax defender who can play CB and RB (linked with United)
- Philip Lahm, stuttgart defender

DM: My two picks:
- Javier Mascherano, River plate (now Corinthians), superb. Just superb.
- Julio Baptista, Sevilla. Of course now a converted striker, but is a fantastic DM in FM

AM: My two picks:
- Kim Kallstrom, Rennes. Long Shot attribute fluctuates around 19/20, gets tons of goals from midfield. A tad slow for teams playing Arsenal-like soccer, though.
- Bastian Schweinsteiger, Bayern. Probably a household name, is fantastic and gets even better. Can play as a winger, but is more suited to AMC IMO

SC: My two picks:
- Robinho, Santos. (yeah, I know, "who doesn't know him?") Don't be put off by less than stunning initial stats, he actually becomes unbelievable.
- Pazzini, Atalanta. I've only had him once, and he was fantastic, top scorer well in the 30-40 goal region. But I cannot promise he'll always provide, his stats aren't blinding.

I have had this game for some time now, but havent had a proper run on it due to me still playing Championship Manager 03/04, now Im getting into FM im really enjoying it, took me time to get used to the new interface but its an improvement, thus my addiction continues.

Now I have read through this post and noticed alot of the players being mentioned as great prospects may be a little to expensive for my team (Blackpool of course), we are in League One and I was just wondering if anybody could recommend some players for this level, I mainly need a new Goalkeeper, Left Back, Versatile Midfielder and a Pacy Striker as I have found at the lower levels, Pace is one of the best attributes to have.

I would be much grateful If anyone could point me in the direction of some suitable players.

I can recommend a Blackpool player to you all, Danny Coid, he can play LB/RB/CB/DM/LW/RW, he is so versatile, in fact my first job as Blackpool manager was to turn down a bid from Man Utd, I know for a fact he goes on to do great things in every game I play, he was awesome in CM03/04 aswell, he would be ideal for any Top EPL team as cover, because he is so versatile, and he would nail down a place in most other Premiership teams. When im not Blackpool he is always my first signing, I once signed him for Celtic, he won player of the year and was named in the CL team of the tournament and came runner up in the European defender of the year award in his first season. Give him a try, you should be able to pick him cheaply at the beginning of the game.

Thanks in advance

[sitati_kituyi]

LB:
Try get Crewe's Billy Jones. Available for free at the start of the game. He might not fancy the step down, though. Oh, and although he's a RB, I'll mention that if you try at the start of the game, you can get Anthony Vanden Borre on a free (he's young so you'll have to pay some kind of compensation though).

GK:
Libis Andres Arenas

SC:
Freddy Adu is ridiculously overrated, he becomes as good as any within a couple of years. He trains very well, pace comes into his game. See also Jhon Mosquera (yes, Jhon), and try get Mista on loan.

[sitati_kituyi]

As for the midfielder, try Freddy Guarin if you can get a work permit for him. Absolutely superb. He's a United starter for me (in DM ahead of Xabi Alonso, who if you check his FM stats is something else) at age 20.

[blackpool fc mark]

Thanks for the suggestions, however, none are of any use to me, My team is a League One outfit with a modest budget of just 30k, but i will keep in mind the players you said, the same names seem to keep popping up, so hopefully i can get them in a couple of years.

Anyway if anybody can recommend some good signings for a League One team to make, preferably players who cost little or nothing, that would be great, in the meantime ill go back to searching

Most of the players I mentioned are available for free.

[blackpool fc mark]

No they arent free, I would have to pay a hefty compensation fee for Jones, Guarin is worth 2million and I've just started the game, the others are also out of budget, 14k dont get you alot these days :D

[hawk_claw]

Freddy Guarin....CEntral Mid/ DM

Freddy Adu....Left WIng and Attacking Mid.........give him like 3 years train him well and he will own the world

good expreiences w/ Seyi George Olofinjana...especially if your playing with a lower Prem team or a division 1 team

Cristiano Ronaldo is you have the cash

Khisanashvili from Rangers....not a lot of money good sweeper

Emmaneul Eboue
