As we all know Football Manager 2009 (FM09) is out although we are all having issues running the the bad boy.
Although it’s early days I thought it might be a good idea for us to try and identify who we think the new future wonderkids in FM09 are. I’m sure some of the wonderkids from FM08 will be there again (I’m thinking Saivet, Vela, Bojan etc) but I’m thinking we should be able to pull some new names out of the hat. That said feel free to throw in some of the old names in there but you get less kudos if you do.
The obvious (and expensive):
- Anderson (AMC) – Man Utd
- Balotelli (AM RL, ST) – Inter
- Giovinco (AM LC, FC) – Juventus
- Walcott (AM LC, FC) – Arsenal
- Bojan (FC) – Barcelona
- Aguero (AM, FC) – At. Madrid
- Dos Santos ( AM RLC, FC) – Tottenham
- Fiorillo (GK) – Sampdoria
- Galvan (Cruz Azul)
- Hamsik (Napoli)
- Kroos (FC Bayern)
- Pato (A.C. Milan)
- Pjanic (Olympique Lyonnais)
- Benzema (Olympique Lyonnais)
- Saivet (FC Girondins de Bordeaux)
- Sakho (Paris Saint-Germain)
- Vela (Arsenal)
Less obvious (not so expensive):
- Bruna (Liverpool)
- Boucher (Havre Athletic Club)
- Alamo (Tapachula)
- David Rochela (Deportivo B)
- Ansaldi (Rubin)
- Wijnaldum (Feyenoord)
- De Gea (Atletico B)
- Diaz (River)
- Villaluz (Cruz Azul)
- Walter (Internacional)
- Wilshere (Arsenal)
- Kolodziecziak (Racing Club de Lens)
- Paulo Henrique (Santos)
- Maidana (Spartak Moscow)
- Davila (Chivas)
- Nemeth (Liverpool)
- Willian (Shakhtar)
- Neymar (Santos)
- Taison (Internacional)
- Welbeck (Man Utd)
- Tales (Internacional)
- Monzon (Boca)
- Hobbit Bermudez (Atlante)
- Esparza (Chivas)
- Fleck (Rangers)
- Dalla Valle (Liverpool)
- Delfouneso (Aston Villa)
- Shea (FC Dallas)
Right that’ll do to start the ball rolling so who do you think the wonderkids of FM09 are?

Try Rasmus Christiansen from Denmark, if you stear a small club. Amazing centerback.
But the best of the best is Marco Perez. No need for describe. Just buy him!
safccallum September 5, 2011
Jordan henderson if looked after and can turn out to be one of the best, he is in the reserve squad for sunderland if just starting, i sighn him everytime and give him a second half run about anytime i can for the first season, and when his skills develop alow him full matches. he soon becomes a really great player

Some , players you may not have heard of, but I promise will not dissapoint – Tobias Sippel (GK), Sascha Kotysch (DM), Lars Bender (DM), Christian Eichner (LB), Stefano Celozzi (RB), Borysiuk (forgotten his first name, DM), Sebastian Freis (AM), Michael Siefert (ST), Christopher Lamprecht (RB, free transfer), Mavram Mavraj (CB) – all fantastic players who won’t let you down. Reliable, overall superb, consistent and fit for any top team at low prices.

Need help, just finished my first season with Shamrock Rovers. In charge 6 months and have won the treble, season finishes in december (i.e summer season) but the problem i have is getting players to sign for the club. have an amazing offer for Davila (worth £1.1m), is transfer listed for £80,000 but can’t get him to sign and the board wont give me enough money for 50% of his wages for a loan deal, even though i can offer him more in a transfer. help? any ideas of small ways to convince players to sign for you? Thanks
Sean Stewart July 24, 2011
No point in trying to get him buddy. U might aswel set ur sights on other strikers, chances are he wouldnt get a work permit anyways.. I’d recommend if atall possible try sign tom elliott from leeds. Or theo robinson from watford. Both destroy the irish league and there cheap. Good luck!
niall dixon July 13, 2011
team i have been working on; 2nd season in charge,
goalkeepers; igor akinfeev, van der saar
defenders, evra, vidic, ferdinand, cesar azpilicueta (cost 25m but reli good)
midfield: simon vukcevic ( 10m i tink but unreal) angelo palombo ( 10m) jaou moutinho (by far the best signing) cristiano ronaldo
strikers rooney, benzema
subs: ozil, alexis sanchez, nani, franco zuculini, saivet, etc etc
dan harris August 19, 2011
jose maria toledo… young striker amazing for lower leagues
also trovato, kadlec and hugo torres.
sign pernia in left back and set him to free kicks and corners. lots of goals.
Rangga June 16, 2011
Try Pichu Atienza and Yago,it takes some time but second season,they will be one big shot for club…………..
I tried Razva Ochirosii too but he just didn’t fit in.
Oh… and Ramires is great too
Sean C June 8, 2011
In march 2013 with Liverpool won prem twice, champions league once, FA cup twice and league cup twice.
Goalkeepers: Igor Akinfeev, Josh Lambo
Defenders: Carragher, Juan, Ostrem, De Silvestri, Guilherme
Midfielders: Jorge Luiz, Steven Gerrard, Fabian Delph, Messi, Silva, Scott Sinclair, Jack Wilshere
Fowards: Forestieri, Bojan, Falcao, Davila
In each season Bojan has scored 25 or more! By far the best buy!
Sean Stewart May 25, 2011
Forwards: Marquinhos, Willians Santana, Daniel aquino, Mame biram diouf
Midfielders: Sergio Mota, Mascio, James Mcarthur, Clement Grenier
Defenders: Joe Mattock, regini, Sakho, Davide Santon
Thats an U21 team that I won the premier ship with and there all world class. Most expensive one was Marquinhos and he was still a bargain at only 9 million!
Enjoy !!
Sean Stewart June 15, 2011
Just wanted to let u know i started a new game, second season got Marquinhos for blackpool in the championship and he scored 52 goals!! =) PURE CLASS!!!! Oh and I signed Colin Sheldon for 26K retrained him as a right back, he’s excellent, now worth 1.6M just dont know if he’s gonna do much in the premiership but im about to find out so i will keep u updated on that
Sean Stewart October 10, 2011
Sorry it took me so long to get back too yee, but I forgot I said I would keep yee updated on Sheldon.. He wasn’t good enough for my team in the premiership but my second season in the premiership I sold him to reading for 7.25M
arrian April 20, 2011

Took your advise on Opare and my god he is by far the best full back ive ever had! I retrained him as a left back and he is equally as good on either side! Thanks a million!
