so, someone started a thread about who didnt deserve a generic face, i'm kinda asking the opposite.

There are plenty of bargain players, but most of them are just default faces...

When i make a team, i dont want a bunch of guys who look the same...i would prefer a 75 guy with a unique face model, than an 85 person without. (Can always train)

So, list ur bargain players WITH unique faces that u know/have come across, with their team, pos, and skill :

Seaman (GK, Man City, 67)
Le Saux (LB, Southampton, 68)
McManaman (LM, Man City, 77)
Ono (RM, Feyenoord, 74)
Guti (LF, Real Madrid, 73)

santino
04-01-2004, 06:47:AM
Cannavaro CB, Inter, 77
Pirlo CM, Milan, 79
Baggio RF, Brescia, 75 (i think)
C. Ronaldo RM, Man U, 78-79 (need hidden faces patch from socceraccess)

yeah come on, lets stick to BARGAINS
nice pick with Cannavaro btw, bought him the other day, forgot to add him
and lets stick with players who originally have unique faces, Cristiano is great, but us console users aren't as lucky as you PC'ers :)

themadcow712
04-01-2004, 02:32:PM
do ya mean a specific face? not space? hehe
Nice List MagicaRoma, wanna be a god and edit your post, putting each ones position next to them? :) so we know if we can use 'em on our squads
I discovered another that i really like :
Kehl, CDM, Dortmund, 78

04-01-2004, 02:35:PM
Kehl is a CDM

04-01-2004, 02:47:PM
Flavio from dortmund is a gd buy

themadcow712
05-01-2004, 01:56:AM
sorry about that, i mean CDM, and here's my favorite :

Juninho (78, Middlesborough, CAM )

CAM - favorite position, he's 2nd only to ....sigh...Zidane

Know any other unique CAM's that are bargains?

Lock
05-01-2004, 03:59:AM
Patrik Berger on portsmouth is a LM but i use him as a CAM. 76 i think before trained

santino
05-01-2004, 06:15:AM
oh sorry, forgot about the specific face thing...but sampdoria is in the game but the name of the team is S. Genoa.....and bazzani is on that team but doesnt have a specific face(sorry)

themadcow712
05-01-2004, 07:11:AM
yeah i know i could use other mids as a CAM, but i'm just neat and like to have everyone play their proper position.
I use the 4-1-2-1-2 formation, its awesome, and CAM is the best position in it.
Zidane is gonna be perfect if i ever could buy him....i started as 3rd division oxford however......and i'm in my 4th season....just made the FA league....have like a 8 million dollar salary...lol...so am i just dreaming?

There's also a guy named CoCo, he's a defender, Barcelona i think, around 76, Deflandre, from Lyon, also a defender, and also around 76.

shevacrazy07
05-01-2004, 08:42:AM
like mentioned before, Patrik Berger (LM) skill=76 worth 2.2 mil i think.

Hey ThEMaDCoW, u gotta buy Patrik Berger from Portsmouth, he's gotta his own unique face and has sht pwr-90 and sht acc-90 and he works perfect in CAM with his rating of 90 in passing, also, train him stamina, he gets tired quick in CAM, but he was an excellent buy for me, i playing with Brentford from English division 2.

themadcow712
05-01-2004, 11:49:AM
alright, I can't seem to convince middlesborough to give up juninho...he's the perfect CAM for me...gosh damn it..
BUT, i got leeds to give Alan Smith to me for....guess how much
.3 million UNDER what he's worth, lol oh man...i love the CPU's brain sometimes....

And I'd love to buy Berger, but one of the reasons i wanna buy a CAM to play CAM is so that if i simulate, the computer plays MY starting 11, doesn't format it to most suitable for the positions.

pennington10
05-01-2004, 11:51:AM

He sure is, espeically when you get him for .3 under his original value, i was at least gonna use my buying tactics to get him for .1 over.....

I realized how much of a business you can make out of buying 76-79 players, training them a bit, scoring a few times with them, and selling them.....you get like at least a mill over each offer you get.

makio
06-01-2004, 01:15:AM
ok about all this training talk how long do you hav to wait before seeing improvement because ive had individual training on for about 1/2 a season and the player only increased by about one point. and anyone got any tips on how to keep players from getting tired?

Daz
06-01-2004, 01:45:AM
Jesper Gronkjaer - Chelsea
Steve Carr - Tottenham

Both good buys and in the 70s i think :confused:

themadcow712
06-01-2004, 02:09:AM
whoever was asking about training :
thats right, train a player in all three of their slots, and eventually it will cause his overall skill to increase by a point. Half a Season is nothing out of the ordinary, otherwise it would be quite unrealistic.

about fatigue...eh..i play my same starters, every game, they're not real, i dont care how they feel, look a rhyme i'm a genius
still score goals, all i need
(just dont hold down turbo, i know its a habit, try to break it)

jobo
06-01-2004, 02:26:AM
Alan Smith, CF, Leeds
Viduka, ST, Leeds

They are both good and are under 7 mil i think

Lock
06-01-2004, 02:41:AM
just dont hold down turbo, i know its a habit, try to break it)

But what it its a loose ball or something, just admit it is lost?

Another good player- Celestine Babayaro, picked him up.
Plays defense. Skill:73 i think

I always rotate my squad and make sure that i've always got one of my decent players in the line-up to dominate. When i was Man Utd, Bellion, Fletcher, Timms etc. etc. played alot of games because i like to use the rotation technique. I hardly ever sell players because i like to have a big squad. And keep my finger on that turbo button :p. And Bellion's one good free kick taker :D

Lock
06-01-2004, 04:33:AM
I constantly sub my M around, because they get tired (60-70 fatigue) in only a 4-5 games. maybe more. But only occasionaly I sub my strikers. I must admit I too do strike a lot, maybe too much

Ailton - Werder Bremen

themadcow712
06-01-2004, 05:34:AM
assume we're talking about David Bellion? I've got him on my team...annoys me that he has no unique face.....and there's defintely better free kick takers under 80 :)

themadcow712
06-01-2004, 08:46:AM
So, i finally got replaced my entire team with bargain players :)
its as follows, I'm div 3 oxford, so not a huge budget, no expensive players to sell, so this took until the beginning of my 4th season, formation is 4-1-2-1-2 (the attackers fave) :

GK - Barthez (Seaman as backup)
RB - Kaffour
RCB - Pochettino
LCB - Cannavaro
LB - Le Saux
CDM - van Bommel
RCM - Ono
LCM - McManaman
CAM - Juninho
LS - Guti
RS - Smith

Check the list on page 2 for skill/teams, i highly recommend this lineup, especially this formation.

themadcow712
06-01-2004, 09:51:AM
btw, what are your favorite formations? i've told ya mine

And do you guys prefer possession, long ball, or wing play
i seem to be too impatient sometimes to use possession....sometimes i've just got to switch to long ball

henry#14
06-01-2004, 01:08:PM
i play, with Real Madrid 4-2-3-1

GK-casillas
RB-salgado
CB-pavon
CB-nesta/ruben
LB-r.carlos/r.bravo
RCDM-cambiasso/borja (H)
LCDM-helguera
RCAM-figo
LCAM-zidane
CF-raul
ST- ronaldo/portillo

AhmedK
06-01-2004, 02:00:PM
Lizarazu 77 (Bayern Munich or Leverkusen, or maybe dortmund) Defender, around 2.2 mill

Salihamidzic 71, Mid, Bayern Munich 1.2 mill

Hargreaves 73 DM Munich, 1.2 mill



3-4-2-1

Gk: Buffon(Casillas)
RCB: Salgado(Neville)
CB: Maldini(Helguara, Nesta)
LCB: Roberto Carlos( Chivu, Lizarazu)

RM: Beckham(Peris(spelling?), Van Der Vaart)
CM: Zidane(Aimar)
CAM: Figo(Totti,Owen,)
LM: Giggs(Nedved)

RF: Inzaghi(Raul)
LF: Shevchenko(Del Peiro)

ST: Ronaldo(RVN)




I know i have more star players than this but i cant remember all the players off the top of my head. I find that Owen plays better on the wings or in a CAM role than as a striker.

Butt has no face in my game (did you use the unlock face patch?) and Dortmund has just 2 GKs. If I am not wrong you can't buy Warmuz (I offered 30M for test and they refused it everytime).

John O'Brien from Ajax/USA has a unique face. His Ajax rating is 64 and he's a CAM. His USA rating is in the 70's for some reason.

08-01-2004, 01:32:PM
Sodaiku, I wanted to post a couple more (Simeone, Song etc), only to find your list, great one, cheers!!!!!!:rockman:

Just one question, it says Guardiola is with Roma, but he's not there, is he still in the game anyway?????

Sohdaiku
08-01-2004, 08:02:PM

You hardly missed out on any, good job! Right now I can only think of Lima (RM, Roma, 66) & Scholl (LAM, Bayern M, 70) among the ones you didn't mention.

Sohdaiku
08-01-2004, 08:14:PM
Scholl is in the list already (under the CAMs) but Lima does not have a face in my game. May be it's hidden?

MagicaRoma
08-01-2004, 08:19:PM
No, in my game he has?!!?? Funny thing is that he pops up in lots of teams! EA has used Lima's face for many black players with a generic face in the game! EG a striker of Calgiari and another striker of Den Haag, but I've seen his face at least 10 times in different teams around all the major leagues!

Is it true that Lyon has only got 18 fieldplayers???
I didn't check it, but I can NEVER, and I do mean NEVER buy players of them, even if it's a E 0,02 mil player and I offer E 11,2 mil (I tried just to check, I would have reloaded my saved game of course). I can buy a keeper of them, which is logical, as they have 3 on their squad, but fieldplayers, none.....Can anyone confirm this or is it just me.......

The FIFA 2004 Bargain List page is awesome. I wonder if anyone has the faces list from clubs not available in the traditional transfer market (i.e. Internationals, Rest of World Clubs, Brazil.)

With the Creation Centre, you can get access to some of these players and it opens up whole new managerial opportunities. Every year I wait for CC so I can put together a squad of promising internationals who don't play in the leagues - this means getting players like Agahowa (Nigeria, Shaktar Donestk) Melvin Brown (Mexico) Al-Tamyat (Saudi Arabia) Yu Pang (China), etc.

So, if anyone has the list at easy hand, would love to see it!

hey, just a question,
so i'm going through making a business outta buying these bargain players and selling them, and i finally realized, in my 4th season, that there are TWO transfer periods...lol
Yea...one when you start...that first 8 weeks without games, and 2 or three weeks into the beginning of the season
AND, in january/february, the transfer window opens up again...stupid me


So, i have some money left over, and the transfer window has closed for good for my 4th season. Will the 2.4 million i had left over to spend be added onto my 5th season budget? does anyone kn ow?

And where is Ahn (the Korean player) I thought he played for Perugia.
Oh yeah, Panucci is a bargain (skill 65-67 or so) and has a face.
Claudio reyna (MLS, skill 75) has a face as well. He is not bad.:)
