COMMENTS: 19 shooting, 18 off the ball, all around GREAT striker for free as he has no club right at the start of the game. Wage is around 20k euro, if you're lucky you might be able to negotiate...

I'll stick a couple of players on here, i haven't got the game running at the moment so i'm doing it from the top of my head so some details might be wrong, but the names are right so just search for them!!



NAME - Derek Riordan
POSITION - FLRC
AGE - 21
NATIONALITY - Scottish
CLUB - Hibernians
VALUE - Buy him for about 400k, the club will accept, he will be worth about £4.5 million when he joins, gets lots of goals
VERSION - Full
COMMENTS - Bit big headed, unless he joins a big club he says he is using you as a stepping stone to greatness, so loyalty will probably be very low!!

NAME - Daniel Bierofka

AGE - 25
NATIONALITY - German
CLUB - Bayer Leverkusen
VALUE - Even though he is worth about £2.6 the club will accept offers around the 450k mark!!!

NAME: Nicolas Cambiasso
POSITION: Foward Center
PREFERED FOOT: Do Not Remember
AGE: 26
NATIONALITY: Argentinian
CLUB: Club Olimpo
VALUE: $200~500
VERSION: Full Version
COMMENTS: Argentinian Database is the worst ever on FM2005, IRL he is GK, and yes, he is Esteban Cambiasso's brother. Maybe he is random on my game, but he is EXCELLENT playing at AMC. Hope this error could be fixed tough, and hope Weinz, researcher of Argentina, could get away of ruining ARG database every version :kader:
Not so good, maybe, at European Leagues, but yes for minor ones

NAME: Dong Fangzhuo
POSITION: Striker
PREFERED FOOT: Right
AGE: 19
NATIONALITY: China
CLUB: Man U
VALUE: 375k
VERSION: Full Version
COMMENTS: With proper training he can become a mediocre striker. I'm not sure but his potential was pretty high in CM 03/04, here in FM his stats got a boost and his form is great on loan at Antwerp, he has scored 4 goals in 8 games already. Finishing around 14, Technique/Aggression/Determination 16, Acceleration 15. 2 international caps 2 goals.

COMMENTS: One of my favourites from Cm03/04, very cheap for a winger of his quality (on Cm03/04 he was a winger....)

Delgado is a Winger IRL, he NEVER played as striker...

well, two more, and bargains '.'

NAME: Cheik Gadiaga
POSITION: AM LC
PREFERED FOOT: Left
AGE: 25
NATIONALITY: Senegalese
CLUB: Mons
VALUE (that they will sell at): $150k Compensation, or free if you wait
VERSION: Full Game
COMMENTS: Incredible Technical stats and very good mental ones, a shame his Physical, but, Mons has his contract unprotected (Note: I began at Jan 2005 cause I played Uruguayan League) so you could get him for free, or pay 150k compensation like me

NAME: Enzo Giovanni Scorza
POSITION: SC
PREFERED FOOT: Left
AGE: 16
NATIONALITY: Uruguayan, with Italian passport :o
CLUB: Danubio :rockman:
VALUE (that they will sell at): compensation of $250k
VERSION: Full Game
COMMENTS: At 16 yo he has 17 Agility, 16 Dribbling, 14 Agression, 14 Off the Ball, 14 Positioning, 13 Finishing, 13 Pace, and all physical stats, except Natural Fitness, over 11. Give him 1 or 2 years and try on. HE HAS ITALIAN PASSPORT, HE IS EU NATIONAL SINCE THE VERY BEGGINING.

EDIT: Thanks sky for checking Scorza's compensation

I am at Jan.4/2005 with ManU and Enzo Giovanni Scorza costs about 250k compensation. Nice find (Y)

VALUE: £2.4m

First of all, sorry me if I'm posting too many uruguayans, but I'm playing that league

NAME: Sergio Orteman
POSITION: AM RC
AGE: 25 years
NATIONALITY: Uruguayan
CLUB: Olimpia (on loan at Independiente)
VALUE (that they will sell at): $50~150k
VERSION: Full Game
COMMENTS: You must wait until 30/6/2005 to have him, but is worth.

Maybe his technical stats are not so great (only Crossing and Passing are really good) but both Mental and Physical are very very good (talks abouts unrealistic, cause IRL he is far better at shooting, marking, tackling, and far worser at some physical stats, but well...)

For some strange reason his set value is 40k, and Olimpia wants to get rid of him, I waited til mid-season at Danubio, and first game = 2 assists, then, not so wonderful, but always getting 7 and 8 comforts me very well

Obviously he will do mamilas at First-rate european teams, but for medium/minor ones, and First-rate SouthAmerican teams, he'll be a good addition.

A final note, be sure to get an offer accepted BEFORE he returns to Olimpia, or you'll have to pay more than $500k, 10 times his real value.

player guide...

whoopsie...i havent had any time to look through it...ive only just startd coming into the FM forums...ive only really just got the game :P

No problem m8 ;)

I think Ruud can move it to the player guide after all...Ruud?

Yep, no problem :)

This Stephen Murray starts at Killie, not Plymouth, for those looking for him.

Also: Gary Dempsey starts at 23; Pitak is only available on huge db.

i do not use Huge DB...i am on normal db with only scottish Premier and first selected

edit: and on my transfer ist it says he is from plymouth and it is in the first season...*shrugs*

Weird, I play on large db, both Dutch divs, and Pitak's not in the game. Do you use an update? Check Murray's history, maybe he was released or something. :confused:

i didnt use any updates when i found him, but i installed the 5.0.2 enhancement after i had him for around a season

Maybe it's because chris is playing with Scottish League activated (:/)

Fulham's Dutchman Collins John seems to be a monstrous striker. I'm playing my 3rd season with Wolves and Collins John is 2nd in the EPL top scorers chart. I took a look at him and he has great stats, only 23 or 24 yrs old I think. Not sure how much he was worth at the start.

around 4-5 Million pounds

NAME: Marcel Schied
POSITION: SC
AGE: 21
NATIONALITY: German
CLUB: Hansa Rostock(First season on loan at Unterhaching)
VALUE (that they will sell at) Don't know exactly but he's bargain at Hansa Rostock so anything between €500k(lowest) and €2m(highest) will do fine. Please note though that you cannot sign the man in the first season because he's on loan at Unterhaching
VERSION: 5.0.5
DATABASE SIZE: Medium
COMMENTS: This man is dynamite. As soon as you buy Marcel he will astonish you with his dribbles from midway field to the opponents box because of his good dribbling, pace and accelaration stats, he's also an icecold finisher with his good finishing and off the ball skills. In other words the best of Henry and Van Nistelrooy in one.

He starts at Juventus, and has a contract until 2008. I'd estimate his sale value at £15M.

NAME: Robbin Kieft
POSITION: SC

CLUB: Ajax Reserves
VALUE (that they will sell at): I'm not sure what Ajax will sell at but his value is listed as $24,000.
VERSION: 5.0.2?
DATABASE SIZE: I'm on large
COMMENTS: He's a solid poacher in my Ajax game and acts as my #4 back-up after Podolski, Babel and Sonck. At 17, he's still raw and he needs some maturing in the reserves. I brought him into my first squad when he was about 20 or 21 and he was damn good. Had some hattrick games when my other strikers were tired/injured and even scored in Europe. I bet he might do well for mediocre teams rather than an Arsenal or Barca.

Oh yes, Kapo, brings back some good memories...

COMMENTS: Nearly always ends up going to a big club like Valencia with his value rocketing above the £10m mark. Doesn't score that many but is a good backup for the main strikers.

he could well be a random though

<edit>
* No, no, no, I lie. Not true, don't believe what I said here earlier... *
</edit>

But what I meant, are his stats and potential random...

Err, I recall my earlier statement, that's another Celsinho. This one is, in fact, a regen.

in october 2004??

Yes. There's 2 Celsinhos in the game database, and they're both too old.

Maybe he has a random age, like Guus Hiddink (H) You should look at Guus, he sometimes is 64, then the next game he is 37...

COMMENTS: Great player who can really be a 'shadowstriker'. He can easily rush from the midfield to striker position plus as LL club you can loan him.

Great player indeed (Y) Best as AMC indeed, but can also easily be played on the wings. Not only good for LL teams, but also for top teams after a few years.

When you are loaning him btw, dont forget to take Kringe with him from Dortumnd btw

http://img306.imageshack.us/img306/8749/untitled9aj.jpg

Could be complete chance though.

Those screens are from two different games, right? He's totally random, so in your Bayern game he could have started really well.

Yeah sorry, will delete it to avoid confusion, Ruud.

Maybe we can do a random players thread in the future. Always good to look out for those, they could turn into the brightest gems :p

POSITION: Striker
AGE: 19
NATIONALITY: USA
VALUE: £10,000
VERSION: 5.0.2
DATABASE SIZE: Large
Comment: I'm with Altrincham (Coca Cola Conference). With a bit of luck I managed to persuade Blackburn Rovers with an offer of £10,000. Now his value has sky-rocketed to £140,000. 19 goals in 27 starts. He missed the remaining two months of the season through injury but i managed to survive relegation, despite being bottom for most of the campaign. His value has shot up again to £275,000. I'd consider selling him for that, seeing as the budget at Altrincham is around £4-10k a season.

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5715/image11kc.th.png (http://img39.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image11kc.png)

He's also got English second nationality. Awesome signing, for 10k :o

pfff... he sux. He's slower than me shadow

Yes his physical s*cks...
But for LLM he seems quite good (Y)

LLM does that mean 2x times Lame and some 3rd word starting from m? :$

5-9 is a normal range of stats for the Conference, anything over is just awesome :o

WTF? Will Johnson is Canadian!

At least there is a striker on the Canadian U21 NT that played in Netherlands named Will Johnson, I assume it's him.

Don't assume. Of the current uXX squads, maybe 60% of the players is actually in the game. And most major nations have 100% or close. Quite possible that Canadian Will Johnson (who plays for Chicago Fire since February 17th, coming from Sockers FC Chicago) isn't even in the game.

Heh, Johnson is a very common last name.

ahhh i c. Thanks for the info Ruud.

NAME: Gervasio Braga

COMMENTS: Still only 20 and an excellent bargain buy at £22,000. Works best as a support striker and plays some great through balls as well as scoring some good goals. Bought in January (first season) and worth £3,000,000 by October of the same year. Has a fairly poor average rating on the screenie due to my whole team going through a crap patch at present.

Comment: has pace and acceleration of 15, decent technical skills above 10 all around, good skillful wing/forward. Macabi Haifa seems to need money so you can get him cheap for around 400-500k, and he will be well worth over 8 mil in a season. Also I had no trouble getting him a work permit for EPL. Bargain for a solid player.

With Aldershot, I was going to buy him. Macclesfield Town had agreed to a free transfer since he wasn't needed by the club, and he had agreed to a contract only about 800 pounds per week. Then of course, he plays in one last match for Macclesfield and sustains a 5 month injury. He fails the medical, and stays at Macclesfield. :(

Well I got Whitaker, and he has been great as an attacking midfielder who drops back into the center.
