Young talents and wonderkids in Football Manager 2008: Goalkeepers
I'm playing Arsenal now and trying to perform better in the search of young talented players in FM 2008. Using and training young stars and wonderkids is one the main personal targets of my current game. Just want to become the second Arsene Wenger ;)
Ok, the first position which can be strengthened by some young guy - goalkeeper. I need a replace for Jens Lehmann in the closest future (though he peforms very well during the current season). The research given the following results:
Wonderkid keepers
Oscar Ustari - very fast and agile handler. My scout considers that he has potential to become as good as Jens Lemann. I think him to be the best under-21 keeper in the world.
Igor Akinfeev - stable goalkeeper from CSKA Moscow who was wonderkid in the former versions of FM. In the FM 2008 he is not so cool (and this corresponds to the reality). Though anyway I consider him very good and prospective variant. The only bad thing is his low teamwork value (4).
Prospective young keepers
Kasper Schmeichel - the son of famous Peter Schmeichel. Plays as reserve goalkeeper of Manchester City. His strong sides are Kicking, One On Ones, Natural Fitness, Agility and Bravery (all - 16). Rushing Out is low, unfortunately. But he has a high potential anyway.
Marcel Grohe - 20-years guy from Brazilian Gremio. High Agility, Balance, Handling, Reflexes, Bravery, Concentration. Low values of Rushing Out and Aerial Ability. He's good in shot stopping and bad if there is need to leave the line. Though his potential is considered to be high by one of my scout and enough to be as good as Jens Lehmann.
Felipe - another Brazialian. This time - from Santos. Very young guy (19 years old) who is really good in shot stopping situation and weak mentality for decisive games. Nevertheless the scout says that Felipe can even be slightly better than Jens Lehmann in the future. I'm not sure but he can be good variant.
Remy Riou - French, from Auxerre. 20 years old. He has high Reflexes, Aerial Ability, Balance, Jumping, Strength and almost all mental attributes! The weaknesses are low Team-Work and Throwing. Well, he is very prospective keeper, I think. One of the best variants.
Hugo Lloris - again 20 years old French. From Nice. Great Reflex attribute value - 19. Very strong Handling, Aerial Ability, Positioning, Acceleration. Low-valued attribute is the only one - Kicking. This is the rare case when you should not specify kicking the ball for the keeper and should set him to throw. Anyway I like him much :)
Bohdan Shust - Ukrainian (as me :) ) 21 years old guy from Shakhtar. He has great values of Handling, Reflexes, Strength, Jumping and high values of One on Ones, Composure, Work Rate. Very bad in Throwing and bad in Rushing Out.
The scout considers him to have potential to be better than Jens Lehmann.
And now I would like to present you the results of my analysis as rating:
1. Oscar Ustari
2. Hugo Lloris
3. Remy Riou
4. Igor Akinfeev
5. Bohdan Shust
6. Felipe
7. Kasper Schmeichel
8. Marcel Grohe

Look for Ariel Talias as well, a young Israelian. Not good enough to become a wonderkid, I suppose, but he'll do fine in any mid table Premier League club.
Thanks, I will check him when I come home.
By the way, there is also good young keeper in Arsenal - Lucas Fabianski. But he is suitable only for substitution of grand-class clubs. I tried Lucas in 4 or 5 matches with weak teams, and he managed to do 2 bad mistakes...
GK worth a look .. if your a lower league club...
Miguel Angel Fraga
snag this bastard and you'll be fine
just a quick question, any quick tips on how to find "wonderkids" in any positions? I dont think we can find in the search players section...It will really help my scouts's time :D
Well, it usually takes time if you want to find a wonderkid by yourself, without use of hint articles in the Internet.
Normally I use the following methods:
- Search screen with filters on Age and different player attributes;
- Scouts with filter on Age;
- Manual search when I check out U21 and U18 national team and some clubs like Ajax, Feyernoord, clubs from Brazil, Argentina...
That is exactly what I did but its so time consuming though XD and the results are sometimes very mediocre "wonderkids" like Michael Johnson or Denilson (Arse's reserve).
And btw can you post up some wonderkids for other positions as well. I saw your list for goalies and I want to add Ben Foster(MU) only if he qualifies as "young" in your criteria.
Yes, I'm going to make posts about my research of young talents at all other positions in the nearest future. Just wait :)
As far as Denilson is concerned, I would not call him mediocre. Seems like he can be trained highly to approve his status of wonderkid. Anyway I as Arsenal manager will check it in the future :)
Bouzanis, young Australian is, according to the scouts, a good prospect. He's 16 at the start, I think, maybe 15, and plays at Liverpool, you can get him pretty cheap (for a PL club).
i think Artur Boruc is a good keeper as well..a lot of 17's
Bouzanis all the way. As mentioned before he is at liverpool at will be the bees danglers in a few years time
Oier Olazabel from Barcelona C team is awesome after a few years.
check alexander rybka from ukraine.gud enuff to displace replace ustari.(sold ustari after so many club want him)
cheap,can get around 600k~1k
As Portsmouth in ur second season you get a 16 year old wonderkid striker with finishing on 19 already. other attributes 16 + too. It says he has potential to be amazing but how do you train a wonderkid to be awesome guaranteed?
you should check Georginio Wijnaldum of Feyenoord. After 1 year he became my best right winger while he was only 18
Get pablo piatti he's 18 from some argentina club i bought him 4 bolton n in his first game he scored 2 away at Man U he's an attaking mid player.
You want some good wonderkids....heres a few
Gabriel Obertan
Juan Manuel Mata
Aaritola
Alan Kardec
Breno
Guardado
Guilherme (touted next R.Carlos)
Saivet
Toni Kroos
Zapata
Alex (touted next Ronaldinho)
Bogdan Staneu
Steven Defour
Preston Edwards (after 2 years of playing he becomes a wonderkid...and he comes from Millwall's reserves..Cost= £250,000)
The name is Bogdan Stancu
You can sign him for 1.5M or less.
He comes from Uniera in Romania, 20 years old at start.
I'm a season and a half in my game he has scored 37 goals, and 6 assists, also has finishing of 18, and his numbers go up monthly.
Another I would look at is Gabriel Torje, but won't be brilliant until 2009.
You get him for 1M.E
joao carlos.....best keeper on game in 3 years
joao carlos
sherman cardenas
craig cathgart (good as rio ferdinand)
javi martinez
ever banega
My Under-21 achieve squad:
GK:O.Ustari, I.Akinfeev,
FB:Vanden Borre, Marcelo, G.Castro,
CM:, M.Richards, S.Ramos,E.Garay, M.Veloso, C.Criscito
DM:Lucas,E.Banega , M:J.O.Mikel, C.Fabregas
AM:, D.Silva , L.Messi, R.Babel, L.Modric
FC/ST:S.Aguero, Bojan, K.Benzema,
lets put it like this dean bouzanis is the best keeper on the game by far, get him early i got him sold him for £30million to man utd to be honest i regreted it he is that good
Ye, Bouzanis looks very cool. But it is important to apply good goalkeeper training allowing him to develop in a world star keeper.
Also look lauri dalla valle(15 at the start of the game),am/fc.Finnish,with very good physical attributes.Also a greek talent,Kyriakos Papadopoulos.Although he is a bit random,most times he has great physical attributes.In my game he became a wonderkid!
speakin' of wonderkids... this michael woods became first team mc in the english squad, in several games i played... check out also nickita andrejev somewhere in levadia, which will luckily make most top teams in europe battle for his goal-synonymus signature in two or three years! for mid table clubs there is some puri brothers in this team, too. they will cost their next club in three years more than 9 M each... david de gea... gk in at.madrid c... similar to bouzanis; with the right guidance, much better than dean. 17yo super AMC anton sosnin uses to ...upgrade all his ratings month by month for tthree years... you wont believe how many over 17 attributes he'll have! ah! and the two best goalkeepers in the game are sergio arias and his co-patriot (mexican) allamo!!! one of the finest MRC;s is thiago wich will start his carrier in barcelona c. you can free transfer him, but it's a little bit dificult... if you are not a top club, you can also trust this greek daemon named ninis which becomes within a year a wonderkid! not a star player but fairly consistent performer and big math-lover!
...anonymous again...
the same as above...
i started game with at.madrid, and steve mandanda became a world class gk in my hands... eventhough for three years the best gk in spain was some murcia, who if i'm not mistaken doesn't play for murcia... moreover pichu atienza is becoming a great DC... i never regreted my selling pablo to inter since pichu became much better!!!
...as far as it concerns torje he became allmost the same as good as messsi, and i sold him for $70M when his price was $45M! speakin' of torje, i have to admit that romania has a lot of talents!!! check out some impressine MC named bicfalvi, and a goalie named Pantilimon or sth! ...now, if you want a goal insurance, zeefuik from psv will take charge of it! world class striker at his 26!
...anonymous again...
papadopoulos is in deed a great athlet. his physical attributes are similar only to perea's ones! he is generally abit ...dumb, but sometimes his mental is also very good... you can sign him for 150K, so he is quite a bargain! in greece you will also find daniel fernandez playin for PAOK, and wasting his talent against some mediocre strikers! he is not a youngster any more (23) but he evolves to a great keeper, given that you save him from PAOK as soon as possible!!! there is also some fabulous french guy called henri saivet if i'm not mistaken who can play as a left winger and striker... two golden boots after 5 years of game, in some friend's o' mine!!! ...if you are interested to acquire some DC to secure your defence you can pick michelle rigione. he start's as a promising 16yo DC, and after three years my scouter told me: "he is so good at marking that his oponents come out of the pitch feeling ...lonely!"
Thank you, last anonymous :) Very interesting comments, I will check out those players you enumerated here.
Mathieu Gorgelin from Olympique Lyoness. I bough him at age of 17 with Man UTD. At 20 he is an Wonderkid. Have extremly high reflexes and one on ones (20 and 18) and very good other goalkeeping abilities. His physical abilities aren't so good. According to my coaches he has the potential to be as good as Oscar Ustari.
I don't know how well it will work with a low team though because i've stating playing him in my main team at the age of 17 and goalkeeping is my strongest coaching atribiute
Bruno Formidogoli from Sao Paolo. At age of 20 he is better then Owen Heargreaves as a defensive midfilder and also have pretty high values for an offensive one as well. I obtainted it for 10 milions at age of 20 but he probably can be obtained much earlier.
Also Mathueu Grogelin from Olymic Lionesse. Very good young goalkeeper. It do some mistakes at early age but late becomes very good.
check out romainia under 21&19...the attrib are not so good but they will develop very good...bicfalvi will cost 20 mill
$ after 3 years...L. ganea is free and is very good for teams like palermo or torino...hora is good too...check romania under if u are a team with low finance, they cost nothing and are very good
Dean Bouzanis the greek from liverpool is the best.
look for lulinha(17 brazil),sergio mota(17 brazil),breno(17 brazil) they will become wonderkid and the best i forget his name his a 17 years old rumanian torje ga... he plays in u21
Check out Craig Gordon also, he's a scottish keeper but i can't remember where he plays.. He's doing well for me in Sevilla
niklas barkroth, 15 year-old from goteborg. you can get him on a free at the start and he usually has the potential to be as good as stevie gerrard!
how to get awesome players if ur in the seria A
this has worked for roma and milan
organise a friendly between your reserve squad and under 19s
later on click on the match and there will be non players in your reserve team match you can sign who are very young and have the same potential as your 1st team
xG-hope u try it
Giles Barnes-wonderkid in a couple a months
neri cardoza awesome winger cheap 6m from boca
but the best dm you can buy is banenga from boca hope ive spelt that right
young turns into a wonderkid
and an awesome playermaker if you set him to one
xG
Ive been playing with atletico madrid its now 2011 and atletico B and C teams have a lot of good cheap potential. won the league 1 time a prospective second this season uefa cup 3 times in a row spanish cup final 2 times and am in champions semi finals. Pichu Atienza DC DM totally solid wonderkid... Ignacio Camacho DM MC also wonderkid. And confirming David de Gea.. .Ustari is my first goalkeeper worth 25 million right now and i might just sell him to put de Gea in hes that good. Stats more than lehmann look like cassillas. Sergio Mota from Sao Paulo is god on the left wing. Efrain Juarez from Barcelona B aswel
Neuer from Shalke. A terrific goalkeeper. And Anthony vanden borre. This kid is exceptional. He can play in over half the positions in the game and he is doing terribly good. He is a defender but i play him as an AMR or MR or whenever i like. He always manages to score. No matter where i put him.
Not a keeper but if you download the 8.0.2 patch and install it, there is a 14 year old CB from Brazil called Gerson. I'm Portsmouth and the scout said potentially better than Sol Campbell. The only problem is that he cant join you until 2011 as under 18s from Brazil can't move out of Brazil.
its all about mika aaritalo,cesar delgado,omar andrade,ruslan fomin anton sosnin,gyon fernandez,bruno formigonni,sergio mota, these are the top players who start off as wonderkids e-mail me at millwalltony@yahoo.co.uk if u have any or can tell me how you found the players!
can't believe no1 has mentioned Mario Balotelli from inter. Best player i have ever had on any football manager
Thiago and Bojan AMAZING in 2009-2010
BENOIT COSTIL (20years old)
French
500k
from Caen
Check out Lebohang Mokoena. Out of this world!!!!!!!!! AMC, FC. Scored 32 goals 1st season. 20 years. crap thing is work permit shandi. work that out you got urself a wonderkid
Bouzanis. Yup this kid already wonderkid at the age of 19. I playing N.Forrest and bought this kid for 1m from Liverpool.
gabriel torje
bogdan stancu
henri saivet
emilano insua
breno
all have the potential to be wonderkids, stancu doesnt though.
but still a pretty good striker
if you have 9-10m to spare, and want 10-20 goals from midfield per season matias fernandez of villareal is always a very very safe bet.great technical attributes and above average physical
best young-ish striker on game is segio aguero has scored 8 goals in 3 games, coming on from a sub not cheap i got him for £29.5m try to get him as cheap as you can!
i am man utd in a season buy vagner love you can get him 6-10m he does well with aguero tevz rooney and saha
You can get balazs Dzuzdak for championship and other lower league teams for not that much, and after about a year everyone wants loads for him. Even good for premiership teams actually. You can find him if you type Balazs into the search box
Another great player that you can probably get on loan if your a lowere league team is valeri bojinov, got him in my watford team when i was promoted to the premiership and he was amazing. Also you can get fraizer campbell and dong fangzhuo on loan from man u if you are in the championship and their really good aswell
Check out cardiff cities aaron ramsey and travis wheattle
You know everyone says to got Thiago, is that the one from sao paolo or the one from barcelon c?
palace - 2009 - joao carlos, rafael forster, leon cort, curtis davies, danny butterfield, gary bocaly, pablo piatti, iago, saivet, thiago BENCH nazarith, jose fonte, morrison, wijnaldum, doudin. class team, currently 4th in premiership 12 games to go, no silverware as yet (promoted through playoffs) but biggest achievement beat Liverpool at Anfield 4-1 - very shady finances - about break even every year but Europe this year almost definite and only in third season! Doudin, Nazarith, Thiago class, Piatti got 5 in a game once from playmaker in midfield.... and Saievet is supersub will always come on a score a screamer if you're behind
Dean Bouzanis............ 16 year old Australian Goalkeeper contracted to Liverpool. Certainly has potential to become a ''Wonderkid''.......
Pick him up on a free as he is only 16 aslong as your at a big club ofcourse.
breno brazilian wonderkid plays center back got him on my third season as carlisle united twice the player of marco materazzi( the one who got headbutted)
akinfeev is by far the best GK i've ever had. way better than ustari.
I think you must put in there list the name of Mathieu Gorgelin. he's 16 and plays for Lyon.
everyone buy sergio aguero worth alot of million but worth it also buy a wonderkid called vincent kompany aged 21 worth 11.5 million but wicked players
i think one keeper you are forgetting is the schalke keeper manuel neuer. he is a superb keepper
Benoit costil is a superb goalkeeper too.
Best signing ever.....Mauricio. Brazilian striker and qulity
ochoa becomes very good
Sidnei - a central defender from Brazil, not sure what team i got him fron but he turns out to awesome
I bought Oier Olazabal from Barcelona early and trained him hard while he played on my youth-team (Valencia btw). After he turned 19 (16 when the game starts) he player regularly on the first team. When he turned 20 he was the one and only. That season he played 46 matches domestic and had 32 clean sheets. I won the league easy because of him. He's awsome!
Oh my god, i can't believe everyone is so insane. The best young goalkeeper, and for 20k, is Eros Corradini. He is a frikin superstar! Best goalie i've ever seen! I've just started the 2012/13 season, he's my #1, hes only 23, and his stats are.. well, look for yourself!
http://img27.picoodle.com/img/img27/4/5/29/f_untitledm_149a13d.jpg
For me, the most perfect GK... He's young, costs nothing, AND is a king!
don't forget 21 year old awsome goalkeeper ochoa, from some mexican team, can get him for 8 to 10 million. also, defenders, check out onuoha,man city right central defender, 2.9 million, and right back, lorenzo de silvestri, all really good players worth 10 million plus after two seasons
don't forget 21 year old awsome goalkeeper ochoa, from some mexican team, can get him for 8 to 10 million. also, defenders, check out onuoha,man city right central defender, 2.9 million, and right back, lorenzo de silvestri, all really good players worth 10 million plus after two seasons
I am Cardiff City in my 1st season and I looked up google and young talented players. I found Sunderlands Daryl Murphy and alot of people recommended him to me and I am in November and he has scored 17 goals so far... Unreal??
Go to saudi Arabia and they have a striker but i cant spell his name haha but hes on 12 goals but all from 35yrds out.. Joe Hart- Worst keeper ever i signed him from City and on his 1st start I got beat 6-1..... Sirl for Zenit St.Petersberg was a class buy aswell..
GET DANIEL STURRIDGE FROM MAN CITY U18s AT START OF GAME. HE WILL BE AROUND 5-10M BUT BY 2010 HE USUALLY PLAYS FOR CHELSEA AND TOP SCORER IN PREMIERSHIP CONSISTENTLY AND HIS VALUE IS ROUGHLY 30m.
ALSO, GET SPORTING LISBON CM ADRIEN FOR 1M AT START OF GAME AND BY 2009 HE IS WORTH 12m ISH AND PLAYS WELL FOR ANY uefa CUP CLUB SUCH AS NEWCASTLE, LIVERPOOL, EVERTON.
Charles Andre Doubin
got him for 200,000
Great stats played him in reserves for a bit then few games in my first season his technique is 20 and finishing 18 also high stats in alot more get him and train him up im in my 2nd season and hes now worth 5 mill and has scored 21 out of 30 apperarances next season will have him start every game im blackburn and won the league cup 1st season and finished 5th in my 2nd now in the semis of uefa cup etc any one no some more good youngsters got too good AM Nacer Barazite and a polish one cant rember his name but got him on free contract 18!

Nazarith, Colombian star. He is a goal deamon. Also drop a look at German def star Deher. He is exactly what you need for deffence

Vin
i am managing A.C. Milan im in my 5th season with them and doing great i have got ustari in net and hugo lloris on the bench both amazing however my friend is inter (dont no why there shite lol) and he has remy riou BUT he has a keeper called Logan Bailey on the bench he is amazing nearly as good as ustari u missed him off ur list lol :)
if u want defenders look at aturo Vidal and obviously Gerard Piqúe marcelo for 5.5m bargainn Rafinha (RB) and my super find pichu Atienza from atletico madrid best defender ever in about 5 years a solid investment
Midfielders, if u dnt have much money at the start then but Frensisco Merida from Arsenal you have to but him fast or they wont let him go, dont listen to your scout all AC scours and Liverpool ones sed avoid buying him but i did neway and no he rivals essien and toulalan
matias fernandez AMAZING Van Der Vaart, and fedirico fazio WONDERKID turns out nearly as good as Masherano..... Ever Benega Becomes the most wanted and valued DMF in the worl buy him wot ever the price :)
For Forwards you only need BOJAN Cristain Nazerith and David Calderon all amazing need to pay abit for bojan tho but i got him on a free sooo Woooooooooooo
fabio ceravalo is avery good striker from reggina
cassio, is a brilliant keeper.... plays for PSV i think all good ratings and relatively cheap... look him up
The best you can do to search really good players is to use FM Genie Scout. It's really a cool software. With this tool you can search players by attributes, age or, most important, by potential hability that don't appear even on your FM search tool. It also tells you a prediction of players' sell value. But the most fantastic thing is that it also does a prediction of the selected players' attributes in the future! Some really bad players at the age of 15/16 turn into world class players at 21/22. With Genie Scout it's easy to find them! Some call it cheating... I call it scouting!
id just like to ask were did u get your facepacks
The most of facepacks are downloaded from sites enumerated in Graphics post
sidnei
pato
turan
aguero
ninis

I'm just wondering why a lot of goalie in FM 08 has a high FREEKICK ability. It wont appear in "normal screen",but it will appear in you tactic screen and you choose view>attribute>freekicks..
I used arsenal and jens lehmann has 18 for his free kick.
By the way I found a young player called Marko Marin. He is AMC, 18 years old, germany, extremely cheap (about 300K pounds) and touted as the new Franz Beckenbauer!
nicollas millan-15 year old striker on the begining of the game he is not realy good but he develops nice

Thats all....listen my advise and you won't lose...trust me ;)
Guilherme (same name as the u21 Brazil left back) But is a striker.
Next Ronaldo (Former PSV/Inter/Barce/Madrid and now Milan)Stats are already superb but with the right choosen Mentor and a good training regime becomes the best Striker on FM08. 1st season = 37 Games/52Goals/12assist/18Man Of Match. 2nd Season = 43 Games/54goals/17assists/19Mand of match World Player of year/European Golden Boot/Champions League best player & Dream Team/European Best Striker/Fans Player of year.Premier League Player of year & Players player.
I sh*t you not he is fantastic and thats not mentioning the screamers he scores.
I also had Denilson (am Arsenal BTW) and after 3 years sold him to Milan for 53Million (Not much difference between him and Fabregas.)
Another good young keeper is 21 year old german Manuel Neuer. Can be signed from schalke for around £5 million pounds.
Sign young argentinian Pablo Piatti when you start a new game. Usually can be bought for 500k. Send him out on loan for a season and as soon as he comes back for you a bit more experienced he is amazing. Worth between 13 and 15 million within 2nd season....
Fabiański only 22-23 arsenal he will go for around 3-5 million!
i'm currently manage newcastle united. The best transfer i had is "matias fernandes". there is one underdog player called "rene mihelic". i buy him at 3m and keep him for my reserved. then after 2 year he become 1st team player and a wonderful attacking midfielder. another great midfielder is "javi martinez" who become best young player. for my opinion,the best defensive midfielder is "miguel veloso" and last but not least.. center defender vidal.
there all great players...scouted all of them signed most of them from the beginnin but not one of you have said
GUILHERMNE (cruzeiro) wonderkid becomes worldclass striker
minimum fee release £6.5m
and also
DANILINHO with the training and guidence becomes wonderkid then midfeild playmaker better than most amc/fc on the game
advise u to invest in these players
also ANDY CARROL from newcastle turns into a wonderkid and a towering striker fairly good and cheap
another striker is AARON from velencia becomes a real quality striker
psv eindhoven Ismail aisati becomes one of the best left wingers on the game also plays in centre becomes very wanted after 2 seasons if looking to make a huge profit
also MAURO ZARATE top class player 20 year old start of the game worth £11.5m you can buy him for around £3.5m plus 35% of nxt sale clause worth it 35+ a season also a wonderkid
also
jeremy menez
bruno mezenga
dos santos
and the one and only mario balotelli urge anyone to sign this player
Two amazing goalkeepers are Cassio and joao carlos. Very cheap aswel but may struggle to get a work permit if you are an enhglish team.
All i can say is the best player i have ever had on this game LULINHA 17 year old brazillian, he's 20 on my game and worth £27Million, UNBELIEVABLE PLAYER! I URGE EVERYONE SIGN THIS GUY AND PLAY HIM AS SOON AS HES ELEGIBLE! HE GETS A WORK PERMIT THEN COMES WHEN HES 18. GOALS & ASSISTS GALORE!!!!!!
nget aaron from valencia
28 goals 32 games
for real madrid
better than bojan in my game
I can't believe nobody mentioned Mamadou Sakho...i think he becomes the best central defender in the game. he is at PSG at the start of the game and you only have to give him a contract.
my juve buffon,de silvestri,corluka,criscito,chielinni,de ceglie,rossi,marchisio,nocerino,giovinco,balotelli,rakitic,jovetic,subotic,fiorillo and also i have some players like luca castiglia,pasquato,esposito,ariaudo,and I always also try to buy alberto aquilani...team with so many italians....
i got a facepack of "must buy" players. ive found that half of ajax's reserves are wonderkids, like goossens and van der wiel. if you want a cheap keeper look no further than, piotr czaplinski, or mikkel andersen from reading. with good training facilities, they both get 20 reflexes and let in about 50 a season. some foreign stars that you may not have heard of;
dagoberto currimilla (next ronaldo)
sebastien barrientos (class)
*jose san roman
*maximilliano oliva (wing bks)
donovan slijngard
miranda (cb from brazil)
alex silva (cb from brazil)
abdou razack traore
gerson
guilherme (almeria left bk)
antunes
yannick (sporting lisbon)
angel di maria
raul rusescu (looks rubbish but scores 43 goals in a season on my ajax game)
sotridis ninis
anton sosnin
these are just some of the hundreds of amazing players i have stored on my computer. and querys just ask :)
other good young gk'ers:
-Eros Corradini
-Geoffrey Jourdren
-Anthony Scribe
-David De Gea
-Vincent Degré
Look for Dean Bouzanis
he is probably the best goalkeeper in the game after 2 or 3 seasons. At the beginning it's very cheap.
on this persons version he has the premier league licensed can somebody tell me how he got it or if its a different version to my english game
This guy ist a 'wonderkid' but he has a good write up from my scout.
NAME: SOTIRIS NINIS
AGE: 17
CLUB: PANATHINAIKOS
NATIONALITY: Greek
BUY FOR: £5,000,000
FUTURE: Leading English primer right winger
SEASON SIGNED: 07/08
I signed him as Arsenal manager along with Shaun Wright Philips (SWP) and my scout said he had the potential to be a better than SWP
BENOIT COSTIL
he was at real madrid when i signed him for £3m, was my best player infront of Pablo Piatti for 2 seasons and now all the top clubs a trying to pay me rediculios amounts of money for him, i kept him but wen u get him then that happens...ur choice, dependin if u need the money or the cleen sheets and man of the match performances ;)
David De Gaea for wonderkid GK. Spanigh under 19 (I think?) captain. Wonderful.

CB C.Zapata
CB M.Richards/Breno
LB T.Taiwo

Fraizer campbell (loan)
Sebastian Larsson (2m)
Phillipe Christanval (500k)
Reid has 17 goals and 23 assists
Campbell is lone striker and scored 37 goals
Larsson has 14 assists and 11 goals from wing back
Christanval has an average rating of 7.92
All great championship players.
guys i have one goalkeeper...
if anyone have one of the big teams go and get him for the first season or the next
Asenjo from Valliadolid
he had a minimum release 9 Milion
its a wonderkid
the best wonderkid i have found is a player called Lulinha (who's a real gem in real life also). I play with AC Milan and my scout (Judging potential= 20) believes he has the potential to be better than Kaka! Not to mention that after a season i had offers from Man Utd, Barca, Real Madrid, Inter, Juve, Liverpool and Arsenal. He improves drastically after a few months of training and first-team football
Always buy bojan, brilliant 16 years old buy him for 3Million maybe less comes to your squad goes to 7 Million at least hes a WONDERKID!!!
I've got other...Renan Brito Soares or we can call Renan,now playing for Valencia in Spain.He is very great,and his main strength is shot stopping.But i can got him because he is failed to got work permit..:(
hey don't spend your time to searching
MATIAS FERNADEZ
BALAZS DZSUDZAK
PRESTON EDARDS
KEIRRISON
GIGNAC
MAXIMILIANO MORALEZ
XISCO
JEREMY MENEZ
MIRANDA
MAMADOU SAKHO
TODOROV
How has no one mentioned Yanis Tafer?
Bought him from Lyon for a very small amoutn (I can't remember) for my Lyon side, and after 5 years he has won the Italian equivalent of the Golden Boot for 3 years running.
Loan him out in his first season.
1st year: 37 goals in all competitions
2nd year: 41 goals
3rd: 39 goals
Incredible player
John Feck is a major recommendation. In the same game for my Aston Villa squad, he is now alot better than Lampard
Hugo Rodallega is also a great one for the future. He has just siogned for Blackburn (I think), but on FM08, you can get him for free, although he comes in January. Also, Albin Ekdahl, the new Juventus signing, plays for Brommapojkarna in Sweden, and you can sign him for free. Becomes an incredible player.
Other players:
Miralem Pjanic (LYON)
Leo Schwechlen (MONACO)
Eden Hazard (LILLE))
Omar Benzerga (LILLE)
Vincent Acapandie (AUXERRE)
Joris Delle (METZ)
Frederic Duplus (SOCHAUX)
Jeremy Pied (LYON)
Loic Abenzoar (LYON)
Get Karim El-Mourabet on loan from Sochaux
I just CANNOT believe how nobody did mention Lucas TRECARICHI. Fabulous player from Sevilla C. He would be cheap at the start so you better buy him early.
I will also mention other quality young players:
Alan Kardec & Alex. (Vasco)
Lulinha. (Corinthians)
Gabriel Torje. (Steaua)
Predrag Stevanovic & Carlos Zambrano. (Schalke 04)
John Fleck. (Rangers)
whhhhhheeeeeeyyyyyyyy..... Alwx from vasco... top class att.midfielder :D.... Also i recomend kevin doyle from reading.... hes is a goal machine :D..... gerginio Wijaldnum from feenord... and david silva from Valencia... expensive but worth it all the same... Wheeeeeeyyyyyyy !

i've tried your team instruction in FM 2008. I used intermilan on 4-2-3-1 and well, it works!
this is my player:
GK: o.ustari
DC: Breno/Marco Coco; G.Pique/V.Kompany
DL: marcelo/armand traore
DR: De Silvestri/Vanden Borre
DM: E.Banega/F.Bolzoni;F.Gago/I.Camacho
AM: H.Ben Arfa/Iago(left);Vela/Rakitic(centre);J.Menez/G.Higuain(right)
ST: E.Cavani/Bojan Krkic/m.Balotelli/F.Laurito
Hmm...do you have any comments?
but I have a problem, F.Gag0 and G.Pique dislike vanden Borre.How to solve it?
try fiorillo from sampdoria
fantastic player after just 2 seasons
i reli cnt beleive that no one has said axle witsel he is the best player on the game he is 19 and plays for standerd liege in belguim he has got gr8 attacking attributes and also felliani ios also young and very gd and plays 4 da sme team as axle witsel
dean bouzanis
rafael alamo
i cant belive no one has said lulinha, sidnei, breno all brazilian amazing players all will go out on loan first season! also p. piatti, (gk wang he becomes pretty good sub for top prem team...)
Sotiris Ninis - After three seasons (two years loaned out, 1 in my reserve team) was one of the most sought-after wingers in the game.
Gabriel Obertan - After 4 years i sold him for 35m, I didn't use him much in my 1st team due to competition.
Henry Saivet. - After 3 years he had pushed Guiseppe Rossi out of his starting ST spot, by 5 years he was the highest valued player in the world. I signed him for free in the first season, just recieved an $85M offer from Barca for him, will not sell.
Sergio Aguero - Very expensive but among the top 5 players in the world at all times, would never sell him. Partnering Saivet up front an unstoppable combination.
Lulinha - After 3 years he pushed Matias Fernandez out of his starting spot at CAM. After 4 years he pushed Kaka out of his spot in the Brazil squad. Very creative player, ravages defences and always scores.
Micah Richards - Not the most technically sound defender but his recoveries are invaluable, holds RB position ahead of Arturo Vidal and Pichu Atienza.
Cristian Zapata - Underrated CB, very solid.
Domenico Criscito - Never even challenged by Ashley Cole for LB spot.
Ever Banega - Bought him early thankfully, partners fabregas in CM, great player.
Edison Cavani - 2011/12 season European Golden Boot winner.
Carlos Vela - Very good player, scores constantly for club and country, wish i had bought him.
Bojan - May seem obvious, but if you can buy him at any stage do so, becomes one of the best in the game easily.
Remy Riou - Admittedly Ustari keeps him in the reserves team but he is a very consistant clean-sheet performer.
Breno - Solid Defender.
Edison Calle - Good cheap defender, must buy for lower league teams.
In general, Liverpool, Juventus, Arsenal and Inter's youth teams produce the best generated players. Also look in the French and Brazilian youth teams for fresh talent.
N.B. Are generated players ever the same in different games? If so Mark Griffiths!!!!!
Sergio asenjo from vallodolid.. wonderkid keeper
I'm not talking about young goalkeepers but for a club like Newcastle(for exaple) choose Danut Coman. Extraordinary player in defeaut FM08. I signed him at Poli Timisoara and he brougt me the titlle. I only loosed against the Runner-up Dinamo (two times) and two away matches with U Craiova and FC Vaslui. In 32 games he made 18 cleen sheets and in the 14 games when he did conceed goals he conceeded only 17 goals. :)
Dean Bouzanis is trough fantastic. At the age of 19 years he is better than Pepe Reina. FANTASTIC goalkeeper!!!
sotiris ninis at panathinaikos.I sold him 12.000.000$ to chealsea. Dean bouzanis at liverpool is a fantastic greek talent. Pablo piatti at almeria and david at panathinaikos. Kyriakos papadopoulos at olympiacos and gabriel obertan.
sokratis papastathopoulos GENOA
does any one know fo young talent i can sighn for burnley in my 1st season that isnt too much money ??
alll comment will be cool tah :)
M . MEMARZADEH is a great cheap buy..
and a super keeper.. from IRAN.
CHECK HIM OUT !
Played him for Czech League Champs Sparta Prague.. killed it !
I can't believe no one has even mentioned Nicklas Bendter, young striker from arsenal. He is 19 at the start and costs 13 milion, but after 2 seasons he costs 45milion
5 great wonderkids , score over 20 goals per season:
Ayub Daud
Andres Rios
Diego Buananotte
Angel Di Maria
Federico Laurito
sergio asenjo is the best of all the listed keepers by a long way
Luca Tremolada - Inter Milan
best player on football by far scored 45 goals in 24 caps
Tiago luis from santos striker
Been playing as Toronto. Players that have come up with good potential are:
Sam Cronin (CM)
Eddie Piper (CM)
Kareem De Thomasis (CM)
Jorge Perez (DC)
Aaron Nash (ST)
Huang Lei (DL)
Koro Kone (AMC)
German Flores (GK)
Mark Harris (CM)
Tyler Rosenlund (CM)
try my best young players in my man utd club
henri saivet
kevin doyle(signing of the season)
febian brandy
nasri
jose baxter too
Remember that Goalkeepers peak at 29-34, so if your looking for a young wonderkid you can afford to heighten any age restrictions you may have for outfield wonderkids. For example a wonderkid midfielder would preferably be 16-19 because they peak 27-30 but a goalkeeper can be 19-22/23.
Try ander from zaragoza. Wonderkid!!!!!!!!! And aquino from murcia second season= 21 goals in liga bbva. Im zaragoza

Alex Smithies. Plays for Huddersfield. You can snag him for 600k in your first season. Fantastic keeper. At the tender age of 19 this fella in my Hull team has now made 38 starts, conceded 35 and kept 14 clean sheets. IMO with proper training and regular games this kid can far surpass Ben Foster or Guillermo Ochoa.
I don't see why my colleagues will b talking about best talented young players and did not mention of Macheda from Man.utd.Only if u see how the guy plays his boy when watching Man.utd vs Chelsea or any other club u can see how he(Macheda) tribbles,his fastest ,body balance and above all, he got what a striker needs in football which is goal shooting.I think i will rank him best among young talented player in football history.
I highly recommend these players, you can have them for little money :
karim el mourabet (fc nantes) - CB
steven thicot (fc nantes) - CB
mika aaritalo (I forgot ) - AM RL,ST
lulinha -the best - AMC
celsinho (sporting cp) - AMC ,FC
bocundji ca (fc nantes) - DM ,CM
toto tamuz (israel) - ST
fabrice muamba (blacburn) - DM
serge gakpe (monaco) - AM RC
nacer barazite - AMC
georginio wijnaldum(feyenord)- AM RLC
I play with Partizan Belgrade and all these players came to me for some money .... and the next, the second season, attacking champions league and they are all young players
