You should add Michael Rensing(GK) and Marko Livaja(FW, only 16 years).
Tried to bring Mendy to my Colchester United but once again - the lack of funds.
By the way, why Spanish team this time?
Darius Vassel?
Jose Goncalves_CB
Eddie Johnson_ST. He isn't a free agent but can be picked up for nothing from Austin Aztex in USA
Great post Vitaliy and the star system is genious. I think Ill look into using a similar method on my blog if you dont mind. The stars really help highlight the better players!!
www.allthatisfootballmanager.com
Thanks Vitaliy. I too did a post on free players. Looking forward to your new story. When will your first post be ready or will you be doing more lists of wonderkid's etc?
Gai Assulin
Tinga.... can be brought for about 60k....very good potential
Thanks for this list, this is something needed for all lower league managers, and some weaker top teams
Arjuna
managerstoriesfootball.blogspot.com
Good list. The only one I've come across thats not there is Enzo Maresca, Italy, 30 (MC) and Michael Rensing, Germany, 26 (GK) and Jeremie Aliadiere, France, 27 (ST).
Also Danny Shittu has moved to Millwall on the patch so is no longer a free agent.
Viktor, if you'll add these players to shortlist and upload it here, that would be great and useful :)
Christian Gimenez_ST
Jonatas_CM
Carlos Merino_CM

popovic-cm(srb)
gavrancic-cb(srb)
CAN add Gai Assulinjavascript:void(0)_
hey Vitaliy can you make a training schedule
Hey Vitaly,
I am currently Leeds manager and i tried to sign Marko Livaja from your list. He failed the work permit. Can you please help me to understand why a 16 year old would fail the work permit.
Thankyou.
hey,
the best FM blog is vitaly's one!
PLEASE ENTER HERE: http://ros-albastrii.blogspot.com/
RESPECT!
I think you should consider adding Ahmed Soukouna to your list=D
Here are some that I found that I thought were pretty good:
Adriano Basso, GK - 35
Anderson Silva, DMC - 27
Gauthier Mahoto, MC - 18 (good potential)
Omar Koroma, FC - 20 (decent potential)
Hi Vitalyi!
I was wondering if you are going to post some tips for the Match Preparation engine. I can't understand how does it work yet...
a really good goalkeeper that can be signed for free and i have with my portsmouth team is ex bristol city goalie adrian basso (brazilian), can anyone recommend a good left winger for under a million?
It´s curious, you are managing a spanish club and me, a spanish guy, I´m managing an english one (Crewe Alexandra). I have a similar blog than this, vivefootballmanager, but I´m sure it will be interesting to follow your story.
hi does it matter what game speed is because i have chosen same leagues as you my computer performance is 5 starts but game speed is 2. what was your game speed and will it make it slow.
You might add following MC's :
Andranik Teymourian
Darryl Hérold Goulon
Nashat Akram Abid Ali
Sati,
"game speed" is a parameter that explains how long you wait between clicking on 'Continue' button or pushing Enter key. It's just a matter of patience :)
Hawaiiguava,
I will post tips only when I have enough experience with it. Just started to play friendly matches with Deportivo because of intesive work over Wonderkids list post. So you understand I didn't even try Match Preparation Engine
ante,
I will prepare training schedules but I should check its efficiency at first
Arnold Bruggink
Ivan Bandalovski
Goran Gavrancic
Ahmed Soukouna
Adriano Basso
Anderson Silva
Gauthier Mahoto
have been added to the list
mauricio perreira, fernando, toro, duarte -> all contracts expire in january 2011. in fact there a couple more uruguayans who are capped at youth level, and whose contracts expire
work permit is a problem though.
one very very good player for lower leagues is tomas horava - about 200K pounds.
another very good player is jason puncheon of southampton ..
also, febian brandy
what players will come to the championship
Jonathan,
just try and you will know that. It's not easy to predict at the moment
fidel martinez also can be added i think.20 year old,columbian amc.
joseph enakarhire,27 year old nigerian CB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsZRZ7RLwbE
110 free players on transfer
Joseph Enakarhire has been added to the list
mathieu berson, enzo maresca and gai assulin (ex Barcelona)
I'm playing with Leeds and have signed Klemen Lavric for free. He's really good and scoring very well so far 29 goals in 34 app. I would rate him 3 or 3,5 stars.
Kim Won-Sik (DC, 18 years)
Although he nearly always joins Wolves in my game even if I (Liverpool) offer him a contract
Great list, everything on it's place.
For those at lower leagues add Yohan M'Vila (21)M(RC
Cheers!
Kurt Elshot, 34 (D/WB R)
Add Jacek Krzynowek
do you think that i would be able to sign aliadere on a free for brighton. i am currently waiting for my laptop for christmas and im formulating transfers etc.
Thanks for the latest player suggestions!
Klemen Lavric
Yohan M'Vila
Kim Won-Sik
Kurt Elshot
Jacek Krzynowek
have been added to the list
You should add László Bodnár - Defender/Wing Back (Right)
Add Anderson (DC, 30 years old). Played for Lyon 2007-2010.
Frode Johnsen (36, MC/AMC/STC) has quite good attributes. Dunno about his ability, but I think he should be decent player for England's Premier Division.
I think his attributes are reminding about Michael Ballack.
Here is pic of Johnsen's attributes: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4007/fjohnsen.png
And here's pic of comparison with Ballack: http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/953/johnsenballack.png
He should be a "leading star" for weaker leagues.
Also, another Norwegian free agent, Espen Johnsen (30, GK) has good goalkeeping attributes. Another potential "leading star" for lower leagues.
Soukouna as striker. Amazing.
these are all good but who would u recommend for teams like forest green and gloucester city.
fofana is good and leon knight but who else, any good loanees? my teams have no money
Stacker123,
players I can recommend from my experience:
- Abdeltareck Sakali
- Lilian Laslandes
- Abdou Sall
- Patrick Vaz
- Lionel Djebi-Zadi
Vitaliy check out
Tom Walsh- only 16 brilliant AML
Peter styvar- 30 year old poacher
Chris James- 23 year old amazing centre playmaker!
My bad just seen Chris james on here
BUT PLEASE check out DANIEL OWUSO!!!
Peter Styvar and Chris James have been added to the list
can anyone help please because when i type in most of these players they dont come up
thanks
can anyone help please ? when i type in most of these players they dont come up ? please help
thanks
Enzo Maresca and klemen lavric are QUALITY
If you have the money for the wage, you can sign players like Bajram Fetai and Joakim Våge Nielsen on a Free Transfer too!
MATE you have to add febian brandy hes immense in my southapton team and has been for the past 4 years
Hey Vitaly, great blog.
I'm in my first season with Nottingham Forest and my strikers can't finish one-on-ones. I get 5 or 6 clear cut chances a game and I still lose. I need a forward who is fairly cheap and can finish. Any suggestions?
I recomment adding Cephas Chimedza. :)
I see no Alexandre N'Gadi on that list, take a look at him, 19 year old on free transfer at the start of the game, can play right wing or attackiing midfield, I bet you give him three stars!
You should have a look at Stern John, he is more of a backup player but is good at scoring. Also if you are a Championship side try and get Brentford striker Nicky Forster as I got him and in 5 games he scored 10 goals for me (He costs 50k).
Get Luke Daley as he is quick and scores goals, worth every penny. Also Lloyd Owusu, he is playing in Australia but can be purchased on a free transfer. Also get Shane Sutherland and Adam Rooney from Inverness, can be purchased on a free transfer. Rooney scores lots of goals and I am the manager of Cardiff and Barcelona wanted him for lots of money.
Javier Arizala (27) - Colombia - DL/WBL/ML
Javier Arizala (27) Colombia DL/WBL/ML
Franck Signorino left back, 28, stats good enough for a mid table premiership side (blackpool just signed him on my save and he's worth 2 million straight away)
Ok, seriously don't know which genius scout keeps finding these players on a free for Blackpool that I can't find!
Andrea Parola, extremely good defensive midfielder, lots of 14/15 ratings in all the right places.
Frode Johnsen 37 years old. Norway. Midfield or Attacker
Michael Mifsud
Arassen Ragaven
Kim Ojo
Mohammed Al-Shalhoob
Gregory Schaken
Anduele Pryor
Abdul Nafiu Iddrisu
Jean II Dika Dika
If you want a good cheap DEF ... Zdenek Kroca. Scored 10 goals in 36 matches so far for my Luton team. Legend!
Teixeira is a free on patch 3 he's immense 17 years old DM!
Jerome Rothen is a good free transfer. Very good left midfielder/winger
Febian Brandy
Alexandre N'Gadi
Stern John
Gregory Schaken
Anduele Pryor
Abdul Nafiu Iddrisu
Jean II Dika Dika
Jerome Rothen
have been added to the list!
Sharbel Touma
Bernt Hulsker
King Gyan
Erwin Avalos
Bonaventure Kalou
Matias Lequi
Michael Mifsud (I know you didn't add him the last time I recommended him, but he set a new record for goals in league 1 for me with Exeter, and is the top scorer with 14 goals in 14 games in Championship!)
Romano Denneboom
Add Ewerthon, Brazilian, 29, striker.
Have played for Dortmund, Zarazoga, Stuttgart and Espanyol in Europe. In Brazil, he has played for Rio Branco, Corinthians and Palmeiras. He has even 3 caps for Brazil.
Izzy Iriekpen_CB
Victor_AMR
Marc Bernaus_DL
hopefully these work for you, they worked for me as luton town. Great post by the way!!
Bernt Hulsker
King Gyan
Bonaventure Kalou
Ewerthon
Izzy Iriekpen
have been added
Hi all, I am new to FM.
Just a quick question, I dont know why I cannot find Alexandre N'Gadi in the game. Any ideas?
Thx.
rswarehouse1,
most likely you didn't enable Large database at the start or don't use the latest FM patch
Vitaliy Mokosiy,
Thanks for your response!
I have solved the problem.
It was due to FM suggested to have the "England" and "Scotland" only. I got the guy by choosing "France" :D
Btw, one more question.....which countries should I choose in order to have reasonable players with reasonable game speed? Million thanks!!
ahmed soukouna
I Recommend this:
Santiago Fernández.
Spanish-Mexican Forward.
What leagues do you have to have on to find idrissu?
what leagues/update do you need to have set to find idrissu? thanks
Njogu Demba-Nyrén, 31-year old Gambian striker. He has some good stats, I think he would do well as a trequartista or in secondary role as a deep lying forward.
Gael Etock, 16-year old Cameroonian striker. He played in Barcelona's academy before.
how do you offer these players a contract??? i cannot find them in the game
D C - Iliasu Shila(Ghana)
D C - Joaquin Beltran (Mexico)
WB L - Marko Babic (Croatia)
DM/M C - Marcio Egidio(Brazil)
DM/M C - Jorge Casanova (Uruguay)
I try not to use this list to much coz I like to explore the players myself. But for other players I fined a great french MC Herold Goulon
Antonin Kinsky, 35-year old Czech goalkeeper. According to my scout, he should be good player for Bundesliga.
problem with Marko Livaja is that if you sign him right away he will not be able to play for you until he is 17 because he has an international ban for 1 year. It is good to sign him so at least he trains with the team i guess
Well, he can't sign for you until he is 18.
Man, you should look at:
Fidel Martinez
Fawzi Chaouchi
Leo Aro
I bet you will give them 3 stars !
And Gordan Golik is also solid choice :)
Vladimir Yurchenko. Amazing!
@mister: I'm managing crewe! Fabian Lamotte is legendary...
should add febian brandy, great championship striker and after two or three seasons is good enough for decent prem teams
