I’ve invested/wasted several hours of my life coming to terms with Football Manager 2008 (or Worldwide Soccer Manager) and have identified the following players as stars of the future:

The first grouping have the potential to be the best of the best and if you click the link on their name that will take you to a profile of how they are getting on in real life (these are still being created so bare with me) :

This second grouping of future stars have the potential to be very, very good:

  • Babel – Liverpool
  • Jourdren – Montpellier
  • Edwards – Millwall
  • Hazard – Lille
  • Bouzanis – Liverpool
  • Johnson – Man City
  • Camucho – At. Madrid

I’ll keep this list updated as I discover new ones and feel free to add your own in the comments.

Thanks for reading and I’d really like to point you in the direction of my Football Manager 2009 to get your thoughts on what you would like to see in Football Manager 2009 :) .

    GK : Bouzounis – Liverpool

    DEF : Sakho – PSG, Saunier – Bordeoux, Davidson – Newcastle

    MID : Piatti (superstar for 100k), Marin (Great for around 100k)

    FWD : Saivet (Wonder kid for free) – Bordeoux, Acapandie – Marseille, Victor Moses – Crystal Palace,

  2. Adam Rowe says:

    Anybody who misses out on Pablo Piatti is an idiot.

    I played a season with reading having loaned him from arsenal after they bought him for £100k.

    He scored over 20 goals from midfield (FOR READING!!!) and his value hit £8 million. i enquired about taking him permanently from arsenal but they would not let him go for less than £25 million. after another season where he played for arsenal his value hit £18 million.

    when i started my next game with Liverpool i bought him straight away for 100k and he had the same impact. every time i start a new game i buy him.

    an absolute super-star, only 18 and so cheap.

    Attracts interest from milan, arsenal, inter, sporting, real madrid.

  3. mayhew says:

  4. name 2008 says:

  7. david says:

    johan elmander of toulouse is a great buy, £10m is not too cheap but u wont regret it i promise. also aquino, dentinho and henri lansbury have huge potential.

  8. Cami says:

    thanksthats mi bros 1 he needs help
    im manu doin awesome 1 dont sigh that many players jst youngeters any recomendations

  9. Davy says:

    all good choices.
    another good purchase is a 17 year old brazilian kid called Alex from Vasco. i bought him for about £1.2million, but he doesn’t arrive at your club until January 2008. However it is well worth the wait as in his description, he is touted as the next Ronaldinho!!

  11. Mark says:

    Jem Karacan of Reading is a great young player, his stats at the start dont show it but in 2 seasons he is in the prem and pulling the strings in CM

    he also scores and is my captain.

  12. Labi says:

    I bought Saivet … Do I have to play him in first team or only train him to becom good

  13. cami says:

    train him but play him in cup games

  14. Labi says:

    I have ACMILAN. Can anybody propose me a player that will fit ? I also bought Kerlon, Javi Martinez, Mamadou Sakho. Are they good ?

  15. Andre says:

    hi i’m crystal palace and i need some cheap quality players to help me gain promotion. Any ideas?

  16. scott says:

    Labi
    if your using ac milan you want to play:
    a deep back four
    use a diamond formation(dmc,mc,mc,amc)
    two forwards!
    Javi martinez is a very good player!
    kerlon,sakho and saivet should however be loaned out for the 1st year.(they are however good in years to come)
    and you should also buy:
    modric:3.8m
    defour:3m
    banega:3m
    (these players should be drafted into the first team)
    you must also buy a striker but i cant really help you with this one because it sounds like you have already spent most of AC”S transfer budget. GOOD LUCK.

  17. Killz says:

  40. pody says:

    There are 2 people I wouldn’t miss on football manager, they are Alex (who plays for Vasco) and Pablo Piatti (not sure on his club) also, you shouldn’t miss out on Benoit Costil all three of them have the potential to become leading Premier Division stars (note: I was West Ham when I found out with some rubbish scouts so Man Utd may think otherwise). There’s a list of players to buy that are young but a lot of them are pricey, such as Bojan being something like £8m which West Ham don’t have so I can never really buy him. Hope this helps! Craig
