FM/WWSM Guide to Good Players' Gathering Gab-A-thon

[DutchFootballRulez]

This one will be sticky worthy also ;) .

Post your best players, the major transfers that are worth every penny. The Cheap steals who become Club talismans. The Wunderkinds that win World Cups by the Handful.

The aging veterans that continue to play as the Sands of time run down on their careers'.

This is NOT a thread for Season/Story/Competition discussion. That's still for the Main "Football Manager" thread. The key here is Players, Players, Players.

Zonnenveld is wonderboy... played at LB or LM he dribbles at will and creates goals for others... was very cheap for me...

I've also picked up Hernan Crespo and Clauidio Lopez on Bosmans... look and ye shall find...

[DutchFootballRulez]

Or better yet. Use a big database and ye shall find..

--Mark Noble and Chris Cohen from West Ham.

[DutchFootballRulez]

For those who tout Vincent Kompany, I say don't overlook Francois Kompany (his younger brother).

Left-winger at age 14 in the database I believe.

[WhipBoy]

Freddy Guarin DMC for a Columbian team..... absolutely AMAZING DMC for me who will even score some goals he's prolly my greatest find :).

[DutchFootballRulez]

In CM 03/04 Fredy William Thompson was a great DM to partner next to Gerrard, but I believe he was toned down in FM/WWSM.

South Africa based talent:

You are missing the best S. African of all, Lebohang Mokoena. He is listed as a F C or an AM C. Young player who eventually turns world class. I play him as a midfielder with a forward arrow, occasionally as a F in a pinch.

Freddy Guarin (Colombia) is a great purchase. Best cheap DM available. There are lots of good Colombians if you play with a large DB. Especially defenders. Fawcett played left back for me until I sold him for 17.5m euros over the summer. Paid 2m for him two years ago.

Fred is brilliant if you can afford him. 40 and 42 goals for me the past two season and starting for Brazil with Adriano at 23. Pretty loyal as well.

Jonathon Blondel (Belgium) is a great left winger. Over 30 assists last year.

[act smiley]

Other worthwhile players include: Markus Heikkinen, Per Nilsson, Antti Heinola, Bierofka, Mario Rafael Rodriguez, Christoffer Andersson, Sergei Terehhov, Thomas Olsson, Giovanni Federico, most of the DMCs from Sparta Prague, Ilhan Mansiz for nowt when his injury heals.

[subbuteo]

de Martino from Roma is a great DMC

.

No I haven't. He is on my original list of players, if you look closely.

Salvador Cabanas - Jagures - Paraguay
Freddy Jose Barrerio - Libertad - Paraguay
Lebohang Mokoena - Oralndo Pirates - South Africa
Dagoberto - At. Paranense - Brazil
Fred - Cruizeiro - Brazil

[Danners9]

Ahmed Yahiaoui of Marseille. DM RC. French/Algerian
Danilo Arrieta of AGF. AM F RC. Danish/Chilean
Maarten Stekelenburg of Ajax. GK. Dutch

ganu, it seems some of the players you've listed above have actually moved away from their listed clubs.

Maxi Lopez to Barca, Tim Weise is moving from Kaiserslautern to Werder Bremen in the summer and Mohammed Zidan is already on loan to Werder Bremen but is going to move there in the summer.

[suppitty]

Spector (you know, the American defender at ManU) became a wonderkid for me by the 2006 wc. Early on you can get him for a few million, and he still may be willing to move, but after a few years you will have to have lots of money, and an excellent reputation for him to want to play for your club.

[subbuteo]

Another American defender who may be worth looking into is Eric Delgado. He was part of Barcelona's yout team but already rated at 9million pounds. He is a D L.
~~~
For DC United I have had some good success with a forward named Alberto, whom I picked up on a free transfer from Getafe IIRC part way through the season. Could be very good for a MLS team or lower-division team. He netted four times in a US Open Cup final recently.

[DutchFootballRulez]

Eric Delgado, never heard of him. When does he enter the database?

Why hasn't Bruce capped this guy yet! My God, as thin as we are at left back! He should at least be brought into camp! Maybe for the Gold Cup!

Oh, sorry, I thought this was a different forum

[subbuteo]

I'm only in year three of MLS and found him by chance when looking for Americans in Europe to try to sign for DC United. I'll double check the first name and current value and age, but I'm positive the last name was Delgado and I think he was 18 years old already. Of course the value is inflated because he's with Barcelona, but his stats do look very good for a young player.

And I agree...cap him now! I don't have the heart to sack Arena and take over the USMNT, but if I did I'd bring Delgado into camp ASAP ;)

[eneste]

Eric Delgado is probably a regen and not in the original database. By year two there are usually 2 to 3 pretty damn good young Americans that have been regened. Actually in my 2014 game the US team has some of the best players in the world.
