FM05 *Offensive Player Guide*

[Vagegast]

NAME: Robbin Kieft
POSITION: SC
AGE: 17
NATIONALITY: Dutch
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.

 

[Zlatan]

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

 

[Vazza]

NAME: Edixon Perea
POSITION: SC
AGE:20
NATIONALITY: Colombian
CLUB: Cali
VALUE (that they will sell at): Got him for £2.1m at the end of the season
VERSION: 5.05
DATABASE SIZE: Large?
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.

NAME: Fred
POSITION: SC
AGE:20
NATIONALITY: Brazilian
CLUB: Cruzerio
VALUE (that they will sell at): Got him for £4m (plus incentives)
VERSION: 5.05
DATABASE SIZE: Large?
COMMENTS: This guy has it all, finishing, pace, strength, flair...

 

[PSVFOREVER]

I can confirm both are on small too. And I can also confirm they're both good strikers.

[PSVFOREVER]

he could well be a random though

</edit>

 

[PSVFOREVER]

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

 

[rpvankasteren]

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

 

[PSVFOREVER]

in october 2004??

 

[rpvankasteren]

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

 

[PSVFOREVER]

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

 

[Zlatan]

NAME: Salvatore Gambino
POSITION: AM/RLC
AGE: 21
NATIONALITY: German(Second: Italian)
CLUB: Borussia Dortmund
VALUE (that they will sell at): 1.8m or you can get him on loan
VERSION: Full 5.0.5 FM 2005 version
DATABASE SIZE: Medium
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.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Great player indeed 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

After a couple of seasons...

 

[rpvankasteren]

He was already reported on the second page, but I must say your report is more detailed

 

[Vazza]

Oh yeah, sorry

 

[Stotty]

[The Kop Kid]

NAME: Robaina
POSITION: Attacking Midfielder/Forward (Left Centre)
AGE: 29
NATIONALITY: Spanish
CLUB: None
VALUE: Free
VERSION: Full 5.0.0 FM 2005 version
DATABASE SIZE: Normal
WAGES: 8,500 pounds a week currently

COMMENTS: I'm yet to see how he performs in the top flight, but in the Spanish second division he has been amazing in his first season for me.
I have used him as an AML (well actually a LM with a forward arrow and 15 mentality). He doesn't do as well as an AMC and is much better on the wing. Stats for season:

Games Played: 27
Assists: 19
Average Rating: 8.50
MOM Awards: 14
