HullYoung talents and wonderkids in Football Manager 2008: Forwards (FC)
__________________
If you are seeking Football Manager 2010 wonderkids then I advise you to take a look at the best list of FM 2010 young talents in the web.
__________________
It's very important to have dangerous forwards in your team. And it's always cool when your dangerous forwards are young and talented. Due to youngness and prospect they can progress much and be developed during trainings into real world stars. These guys are called wonderkid forwards. I decided to make deep search of them in FM 2008.
Wonderkids
Sergio Aguero
The greatest Argentinian wonderkid from Atletico Madrid for this position! But he costs very much ($26.5M) and can be bought only by grand clubs. Brilliant technique, dribbling, speed, stamina and mental abilities. Very well-known attacker among football manager gamers.
There are also some other very high priced wonderkids: Pato from Milan, Wayne Rooney from Manchester United, Ryan Babel from Liverpool. I will not say about them much because the guys are worldwide known (actually as Aguerro :) ) and cost a lot of money.
Karim Benzema
New young star striker of Lyon. Technical gifted, cool finisher and has very high potential. Will score many goals for you. But only big clubs are able to buy this flamboyant forward.
Guilherme
18 years old striker of Cruzeiro. His price ($7.5M) is not high for any English or Spanish club that is in the first half of its league. Guilerhme is very balanced and enthusiastic attacker. His best attributes (having value of 17) are First Touch, Flair, Teamwork and Work Rate. The last one is very important for progress during trainings. So Guilerhme can be considered wonderkid, I suppose.
Carlos Vela
One of the young Arsenal stars. Price is $6.75M. Just 18 years old but already possesses very good speed, level of technique and high mental abilities. Should become great forward!
Giuseppe Rossi
Italian striker - wonderkid. Though he plays in Spain for Villareal. Rossi likes to dribble the ball on speed. His great levels of Composure and Finishing tell us that he can score goals very effectively. Looking at values of attributes he already seems to be better than Alberto Gillardino!
Bojan Krkic
Bojan deserves the following adjectives: Superb. Incredibly talented. Very young (16 years). Fantastically technical. Clever and smart. Barcelona forward.
Young prospective strikers
| Name | Club | Age | Price | Strengths | Weaknesses |
| Oscar Trejo | Mallorca (SPA) | 19 | $8.75M | High technique and speed | Low Anticipation, Creativity, Composure |
| Theo Walcott | Arsenal | 18 | $8.75M | Wonderful speed | Average Work Rate and Finishing |
| Nicklas Bendtner | Arsenal | 19 | $12.75M | Fine finishing using legs as well as head | Poor Teamwork. High price. |
| Felipe Caicedo | Manchester City | 18 | $8.75M | Good levels of Flair, Teamwork, Work Rate and Long Shots | Average Finishing |
| Mario Balotelli | Inter (ITA) | 16 | $6.5M | Very young! Good speed, technique and height. | Low Creativity, Teamwork (but they can be trained) |
| Freddy Adu | Benfica (POR) | 18 | $5.75M | Famous wonderkid from previous CM/FM versions :) High technical skills and speed. | Low Teamwork. |
| Genero Zeefuik | PSV (HOL) | 17 | $1.7M | Low price. High technique, work rate. | Low Bravery. Average Composure. |
| Victor Moses | Crystal Palace | 16 | Free! | Good Teamwork, Jumping, Strength. Very young. | Low values of Composure, Off The Ball, First Touch. Totally poor Anticipation (5). |
| Rhys Murphy | Arsenal | 16 | $2.6M | Brilliant finisher for his very young age. Balanced forward. | Passing=10 and many important attributes are of 11. But they all will be developed to good level if good training is applied. |
| Henry Saivet | Bordeaux | 16 | Free | Very prospective one! Already possesses high acceleration and flair. | Poor Teamwork, Stamina, Passing. But they all be trained :) |
Would like to add that henri saivet and bojan krkic are hard to get in the first season.
henri saivet has been my best ever player in Football Manager, he gets 30 goals each season for my Arsenal team.
I ve just gotten accrington promoted to league 1 and I need people to recommend players in my range thanks
Hey..
hope you still remember me ..
me the Ex-Man City Guy now managing The Blues - Birmingham
What a great start for me ..
alot of draws with top clubs ..
and now 6th place in the league and still unbeaten ..
YEAH !!!
i bought sotiris ninis , gabriel torje and kasper schemieciel ..
as i know them well because i have them in my Man City game !
Ive had torje in my man city too, kind of disapointing for me, never really made it to the starting eleven, substituded once in a while to get him to play some too though.
youloong,
Good for you! It would be cool if you get into UEFA Cup from the first season.
Sry vitally I think it would be very helpful for your readers if u made a post about the best players to buy for championship/league 1sides thanks
james,
Yes, that can be interesting post, I agree. I will write about coca-cola championship and league 1 players during this or next week.
I bought Torje for Man City in the first season for about 500k cos Geovanni got a long-term injury. Played him in the AMR positon for much of the season and he did great for a 17 yo. Sold him three seasons later for 8million quid +40% of next fee though. I think I did pretty well out it.
Thanks
you missed out the best player on the game lulinha, plays for corinthians 17 yrs old, cheap at start, has a buy out clause at about £2.7million. im 3 years in and hes now worth £35million. play him in attacking midfield centre
Hey man, I'm really have a feast by reading your blog! I'm a great fan of football manager and played since CM4. But I'm still not good at it so this guide helps me a bunch! Thanks again.
can i just ask. what patch are you playing on. all of these players and i dont know which patch to use??
Charlie,
I use the last patch 8.0.2 with Large database setting and twenty leagues turned on
i think that aguero is the best player in the last three football managers.you should look sotiris ninis from panathinaikos(greece)he is a fantastic forward(and becomes wonderkid after a while)!you can also look kyriakos papadopoulos and sokratis papastathopoulos(they also become wonderkid) from olympiakos and AEK athens very good center backs.there is also a fantastic american striker josy altidore(wonderkid)and tarik elyounoussi is a very good midfielder.javi martinez is for me the best DM of the game...thanks for reading...Saneatsou
hey, i went plymouth after theyd been relagated(i was previously at mexico) i bought gabriel torje + bogdan stancu and together in all competitions they netted over 100 goals in 2 seasons, stancu actually scored more than he played in while torje scored and assisted these 2 romainians are amazing an will get better they are both squeezing there way into the national side now im in the prem come on!!
Tarr lad torje was great when i was with manu 36 goals in 42 matches. Manuel Fischer is german and he scored so many goals for my u18s he scored something like 45 goals in 45 matches so i put him in my first team and he was so prelific he scored a hat-trick on his first team debut against tottenham.
most of these players are excellent i have to agree but what about if your a lower league team - you cant afford to buy the likes of aguero and benzema, never mind the fact that they wont want to come to you. The players you have mentioned are obvious buys.
There is Victor Moses in the list. For lower leagues.
And I also have post: Best Players for Lower Leagues in Football Manager 2008
James Vaughan ?
eduardo da silva from arsenal? he has score 35 or more goals in 39 games from dinamo
James Vaughan - yes.
Eduardo - no. Too old for wonderkid or young talent :)
I use Real Murcia (! I love challenges :D) and now we're in 9th position in season 2007-08. I bought an Argentinian player called Gabriel Haucho (I forget the name of the team but it is Murcia's feeder club). I think he'll be great player
Tony says that get arouca and palacio wijnaldum vagner love arshavin and armand traore
Alexandre Pato, Dos Santos, Sotiris Ninis, Eduardo, Bogdan Stancu, Äaritalo, Alejandro Gomez, Pablio Piatti, Goran Pandev and so on. What about them?
i have bought silva from valencia dude n fabregas in my 2nd season....n guess i won treble winner....balotelli is the best n bojan i think his too arrogant player n if u wanna a goalkeeper try on inter under 20's but i forgot his name.
hello
ivan from croatia
could you check Ermin Zec for me?
he plays for sibenik(cro).Look his progress.First season in sibenik:
7.84 average ,39 goals in 33 games.but fans dont like him wherever he comes.check him please
(19 years old)
Guilherme is pure shite!!! worst player i have ever purchased on fm 2008
Genero Zeefuik from PSV.
Andy Carroll from Newcastle is I am not mistaken(height 199cm)
Alberto Paloschi and Pato, both from Milan
Edison Cavani (Uruguay)
Goran Pandev, dos Santos both r great. Pandev is good in dribbling, technique and speed. his finishing is superb. I used him in Milan, he can scored more than 35 goals per season by using 4-3-1-2 formation. but I prefer to use him as lone striker coz he will get the ball more to score.
if u wan to get more wonderkids, pls email me at crxuz@Yahoo.com
I will send u list of wonderkids in FM
thx
Hi,
The best young striker ive signed is Aaron from Valentia. Can play as a Central Attacking Midfielder. Bought him for under 10 million. Is worth 3 times that by the time he turns 21.
Also, two very talented young brazilians are, Sergio Mota and Renato Augusto. If bought at the very start Sergio Mota can be bought for less than one million. Is worth 15 million in my current game.
Thanks for all the other players u mentioned. Its very useful.
hey bro, brilliant site you have up here. just a thought, for people who like to play a more direct passing game (ie myself), and rely on a tall forward (like my favourite player zigic back in 07), can you do up a list of wonderkids of targetmen too? because most of your wonderkids here are the small and pacy striker mould.
just a thought.. :D
Ok, I will try to prepare such a targetman list. Good idea!
I miss one player on the list Toto Tamuz. He playes for Beitar Jerusalem and he becomes a wonderkid after one season.
The only problem is to get him a workpermit in england
And he is only 19 yo
And has 18 on finishing and strengt
And 16 on speed
check him please

What about Frazier Campbell? He may be older than these decent kids but with the right training and play him in the big games he can do well.
What about Frazier Campbell? He can get amazing with the right training and played often.
thanks bro!
fine website you got here. would really look forward to that targetman list.. currently i only have andy carroll and mika aaritalo who suit that role and are young, but they are really awesome too!
Daniele Vantaggiato 22 Years Old Rimini Striker, 4.000.000 in the begin but he becomes 30 million. He is worth it
one of the best is Nikita Andrejev!in the first season is at Levadia!it costs only 800$
dalibor djolovic and Fred Van Dam plus maybe juninho...all very young and have excellent stats by the time there 22 odd...failry cheap early on as well as they are not well known...you may have to play on a large database to find them though. I cant be bothered to go to the specific pages so will do other positions here:
AM: Lulinha - amazing...the best young player on the game if not best player...about 10 mins ago he scored 7 for me in one match. no joke!
MID:Joaquin Bermudez - great stats for attacking and defending...very useful squad player as a young gun and then regular as he gets older...may be difficult to find in smaller databases
DEF: Santacroce and Musacchio...ended up spending a fortune on them but you can get them cheap early...quality consistent centre backs...
GK: Carlo Pinsoglio - brilliant just brilliant...expensive but worth it...
just quickly best coach is costacurta, expensive and doesnt wanna move but my god!!! 20 for just about everything after a few years. thers a physio at AC Milan as well for the bigger clubs he is well worth investing in, Lieven Maesschalk.
and the best player iv ever had? Matias Fernandez...just amazing. playhim pushing forward in AM...was there for my arsenal team and has been top of assists and goals for last 4 years...all of which have seen me win the champions league and premiership 3 times...he has been world player of the year 5 years running. i have never found a player so so good. I am not exaggerating!!
You can get Nikita Andrejev from Levadia for free in start of the game. Also buy Lucas Biglia for 4,6 Million. I bought i'm from andrelecht in first season ande sold i'm in next season for 30 Million to Real Madrid.
If you want to buy a good targetman with very cheap price, you will found it in FC Basel. His name is CARIGNANO. He's 24 years old with price only 100k. Try it!!!
a must have player is Charles-Andre Doudin, scores a fair few, sets up loads and only cost max. 200k, v.good player!
i know bout saivet already ..
but i played him on ML
in 1st season barcelona , inter , n madrid want to sign him ..
2nd season .. his value become 25m + top young player
3rd season 43m + top scorer of season in serie A
and i got tips for saivet and pato
tutor them with F.inzaghi ..
trust me !!
inzaghi is the best tutor ever ..
BUT , if u buy potential goal keeper dont tutor him along with dida ..
dida suck !!
wow these guys are all quality players... but your missing one of the best!!
Billy Sharp, hes already amazing but after 2 seasons or so hes world class, he scored over 50 goals each season and has gotten golden boots, footballer of the year, striker of the year etc.
great attacking stats, physical and mental. hes only with about 1 mil at the start and is only about 20
Yes, Billy Sharp is really cool forward. He becomes one of the top scorers starting from the 3rd season in a game
hey
im swansea in my 3rd season
im in the top league
in my first season i didnt lose a game n i drew 3 n won all the others
in the 2 season i won the league on the last day really tight
but this year i need some top players who will come to me HELP ?
ps:love your blogs
w/b swansea guy
i think Aaron from spain is a great forward....
a pure wonderkid.... i p;ayed him with chelsea and he outclassed diddy and shevy right out....
i got a problem too.. my game keeps hanging after a december match in 3rd season... is it a prob wid my pirated cd.... help please
***True Premiership Quility Wonderkid****
karadeniz batuhan - Beşiktaş JK
had him from age 16 for arsenal
5 times in a row young player of the year awards and now worth 18 million
buy for 6 million or wait till contract runs out and get for free.
man, ive now playing in the season 2010/2011... i recommended you guys to buy sergio aguero and henri saivet and also guilherme! ive use all these players... during my preseason matches, henri saivet made a big impact as i put him in right winger, he scored a hat-trick so as guilherme as my striker. aguero been in my club since 2008/2009 he made a big impact too.
and also, bojan krkic... is the only player i couldn't even get from barcelona since 2008/2009... as my scout had scouted that bojan has no intention to leave the club...
seriously, bojan is really hard to sign into your team. i just sold my berbatov for 40 mil to arsenal. now im trying to get an experienced striker to replace him such as david villa. even though now i got 3 strikers that are rooney, aguero and tevez. and oh, i bought aguero for 60 mil, which is good to my team, scored a lot of winner for me whenever got a draw. just came in in january transfer and score like 15 goals in not more than 20 appearances as he ineligible for uefa champs league. sad. but i won PL and uefa champs. haha and oh albiol is a good young defender 21 years old. 27-30 mil will be able for you guys to get him.
let me tell you my best skuad: ochoa (GK), Breno (DC), Hobbs (DC), M.Sakho (DL), Dor malul (DR), Thiago (MR), iago (ML), Banega (DM), Lulinha (AMC), Saivet (FC), Vela (FC)..... enyeama, omar esparza, ateinza, torje, stancu, zeefuik, also good for my skuad
Would like to say, that Joe Mattock(20)*, Richard Stearman(22)* develope into International stars. Also Havard Nordtveit(19)** turns into a top Norweigen Defensive Midfield. Other stars I have have noticed in my game are James Wesolowski(22)*, Eric Odhiambo(21)* all turn into English Championship stars!
(All stats from season 2009/2010 as are ages) *Leicester City ** Arsenal.
Jake Robinson(23) is a superb striker in league 1 from Brighton and Hove Albion
Alex from Vasco get him for around 2mill, gets young player of season first season, touted next ronaldinho, quality.
Bruno Bonfim, scores loads,
mauro zarate, get him for around 2 mill, even tho his value is about 12mill,, scores alot,
dalla valle, 16 after first season, alot of big clubs are after him.
everyone has missed out the best young striker in the game !!!!!!! cees althoff is a lot better than saivet and his stats get better than aguero or torres at 21 worth 25 million!!!
hey,i have started with aris fc...the best goalkeeper for greek teams is sifakis...could u recommend some a wonderkind centre back????????????
has anybody heard for ANSELMO RAMON he is very good in manager 2008 but i cant find him in manager 2009, :)
:))))
is any1 now,who is better,defour or witsel? thanks.
Vitaliy,this blog is cool..please update,not just wonderkid,but good players.
buy john fleck from rangers and put him in ur youth system
he relly is brilliant
:)
Is Danijel Aleksic there in this game??? Is he a wonderkid?
Hey dude.. where did you get your facepacks ? like the one on Carlos vela, without the name.
