goalkeepers, defenders, and defensive midfielders.

Goalkeepers First:

I'm going to add a line for Starting Club aswell.

GK
Dionisis Chiotis
Quite Young (early 20s I think)
Greek
AEK Athens
With Greek League on about £1m, without about £250K.
THE best goalkeeper in the game.
Nowt Updates

GK
Sebastien Frey
Quite Young
French
Parma
Alot - much more that his starting value - £10m+
Also a great, great keeper
Nowt Updates

GK
Carlo Cudicini
Moderately Old
Italian
Chelsea
£5m+
Very solid keeper
Nowt Updates

GK
Sander Westerveld
Moderate
Dutch
Less that his value - about £3m
An absolute bargain at start of game as Liverpool want to get rid of him. Great for most clubs but will be outshone at top-flight teams.
Nowt Updates

Zarkov

Now some defenders:

DC
Sami Hyypia
27
Finnish
Liverpool
Approx. £8m
Get him at the start of the game for £8m and he'll quickly be worth £15m+. Great defender.
Nowt Updates

DC
Ibrahim Said
21/22
Egyptian (but gets a work permit easily)
Ay-Aly
£1m or under.
Very good, cheap defender.
Nowt Updates

DC
Joe Dolan
Quite Young (early 20s I think)
English
Millwall
Again under £1m
Very good, young keeper.
Nowt Updates

Zarkov

And now DMs:

DMC
Radaslow Kaluzny
Mid 20s I think
Eastern Europe (not quite sure where)
Varies
Rock Hard DMC
Nowt Updates

DMC
Josep Guardiola
29
Spainish
No Club
Free (if you're quick)
Great player and very good for a freebie (but 20+ clubs want him so get your offer in quick)
Nowt Updates

DMC/R
Dino Baggio
Old - Around 30
Italian
Lazio
£3m or less if you wait a few weeks.
Another great player who is cheap because Lazio dont need him.
Nowt Updates

Zarkov

More of everything to come later.......

Luciano Zauri
DM R\L
Italian
23-24
Atalanta (at start)
Value: 8 million-20 million
The best winger in the ga in my opinion.If playing in WWW2 then he's going to play 8 if playing superstyle then nines all the way.

DM C
Sebastian Battaglia
Argentina (Boca)
23 y.o.
Less than 5m
My favorite DM in the game

D/DM LC
Andrew Griffin
England (Newcastle)
22 y.o.

Left/Right Back
Diope

Sengalese
£1million, or get him on the bosman for 2002/2003

Left back
Stephen Crainey

£2million
I've got him at Left back for PSv to replace Bouma who I sold for 35million and Crainey has been a really good replacement (H)

Centre Back
Phil Mcguire

Just like in real life he is a legend, but only for pishy teams don't go buying him for Real Madrid!

Best DMC in the game, beats out Vieria in 2nd season

It depends ;) Surely with EP5, so 4.08

I think he means CM4 or CM01/02, because the talents in every Ep are the same. But he asks stupid questions all the time

Yeah, I didn't understand his question too :rolleyes: :confused:

Please post players and staff with mention of the game you are playing. This will make things a lot easier for others.

He's not very good in my game :( I don"t know why, he's pretty good with Belgium but in my team, he's crap...

I am playing CM03/04 with the latest update and no patchs, and a SMALL database(bad idea). I am playing in the Spanish league with all 4 divisions on.

Does anyone know of any good, preferably young, cheap(not a requirement) defenders or Goalkeepers? If its a GK i only want young guys since i have Cassilas as my starting GK.

I just got Smeichel(sp?) from Man City, has anyone bought him before? He is only 16, the deal goes through June 30th, so i have sometime till i get him.

Schmeichel will become great of what I've heard from others but I didn't sign him yet though..

top signing (Y) In my Strasbourg game he was great, and in my current Espanyol game he's a backup for Waterreus. He has stats as good as Reus, but Schmeichel is only 19, Waterreus 36. Better age for a goalie IMO

Version: CM03/04
Name: Paulo Almeida
Nationality: Brazilian
Position: DMC
Club: Santos
Age: 22
Description: An underrated Brazilian. He took over my Renato as DM and is very consistent. His stats aren't bad either and he will not disappoint.

If you want a pretty good goalie, you can buy Lucas Rastello or Adi Raïs MBolhi from Marseille, they are young and good. But not the same level than Schmeichel.

some dutch players for here too:

game: CM03/04

club: PSV, on loan at Ado den Haag first season
age: 19
value: about 1.5 million
description: decent defender, good heading, marking and tackling....

There's a good DC in Division Two. It's Nicky Fenton from Notts CO. I Bought him With Nott. Forest, and he's really good with Michael Dawson. Not for a big team, for sure, but good for a modest team :)

Gk
Espen Johnsen
24 (or so)
Norweigen
Rosenborg
Very good goalkeeper. Great attributes

Gk
Jose De Jesus Corona
Early 20's
Mexican
Not sure about club
Good goalkeeper for division 1 teams and lower table premier league teams. good attributes

Some young defenders. Very good after a couple of seasons.

Nyron Nosworthy
DRC
English
Gillingham
£1m ish
Strong full back

Hjalmur Dor Hjalmsson
Dr
Finnish
IA
£500-750k
Very good youth player. Stats poor at start but after a season or two in the reserves he is a great player.

Good DMs

Kasey Wehrman
26
DMC
Lillestorm
£1m
Very Hard working midfielder

Tommi Vesala
18
DMRC
FC ESpoo
£8k
Very pacey attacker with lots of flair

Adz, Tommi Vesala is first a defensive mid according to you, and then he's a very pacey attacker in the description you give him. Doesn't make sense :ewan:

Name:Max Severeijns (http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/CoHo/severeijns.jpg)
Age: 18 at the start
Position: goalie
Club: MVV :rockman:
Sale value: About 2 million I think.
Description: All my games he has a potential 170 or higher. Very good stats after a few years. His eccicentry is practicly his only bad thing. Class goalie, as good as Schmeichel.

Sorry about that. I meant to say that he was a very attacking full back as well as a midfielder.
Aleandro Rosi is also a good young DMC. He is 16 at the start of the game and plays for Roma. He gets signed by other clubs early so you have to be quick if you want him.

delete your last post it isnt needed, then edit your other post with this information.

TROD.

version?

Cant be arsed to check the whole thread again, so i'll post the players that are delivering the goods so far.
CM0304
Jean Dika - DC
He's available on a free, very good until you reach the premiership, easy WP too.

Knavs - DC
Minimum release fee of aroud 3-5 million, has 170 potential on my game, so far played 2 matches and got a 8 and a 9, looks very good, easy WP.

Fabio Rochemback - DMC
Very good defensive midfielder IRL, looks good on CM. He's unhappy at Barça so he's very easy to get, you'll pay around 1 million for him after 3 seasons. On the 2nd season maybe you'll get him for 2-3 millions. He's got 11 caps, but he never seems to get a WP for me in the Prem, even so, you could try.

game: CM03/04
name: Billy Jones
nationality: English
age: 15
club: Crewe
value: 190k (pounds)
position: DRC
description: great young defender for the future - will make it into most first teams

Version: CM0304

Version: CM0304
Name: Jerko Leko
Nat: Croatian
Age: 23 or so
Club: Dinamo Kiev
Value: 5-12 million
Position: DMC
Description: Very very solid defensive midfielder, signed him for my Millwall side and he performs week in week out. Up to now averaging 8 (i said 8!) tackles per game. My defenders are so jealous of him.(H)

CM 03/04
Alexander Filiminov
GK
30

You can get him for free at the start of the game. Will go to most low league clubs. Very good in the Japaneese J-League

Version : CM03/04
Name : Matteo Brighi
Nat : Italian
