Sep 2008 24
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?
What do you want to see from Football Manager 2011? How can they make it better?

Mauro Zarate!!! He’s on loan at Lazio in the first season, but you can buy him for roughly 4million in the 2nd. Bags of potential, has scored 15 goals in 15 games for my Leeds team and im in the Championship, so you might beable to get him for teams which are not in the Prem. Also Ramires from Sao Paulo and Eduardo from Botafago.
Easilly Davide Santo or vaclav Kadlec both cheap and turn out amazing

Damon Gray-…good striker for Championship level at a good price.
buy Diego Buonanotte

has potential to be better than MESSI!
Fabian Delph and Jonny Howson are good players for the championship and turn bloody brilliant and get nice and pricey, so they are pretty good players if your’e tryna get into the premiership. Ben Parker is a good solid left back and hes pretty sheap. Aiden White, is a very young right back and he comes off playing wicked. Wayne Routledge is a superb player in the championship, also LuaLua and Vassel. They score goals for fun.
Marquinhos from palmeiras gets unbelievable scored 40 in 45 in prem/champs league one year! Per Cilian Skjelbred was a very good signing from rosenborg AMC. Steve Mandanda if you are after a goalkeeper as well!
Left winger – Abdou Razack Traore from rosenborg well worth signing
hugo lloris from Lyon if ur lookin for a goal keeper worth 4 million so can prob get him for 10 million 1st season, in 4th season hes worth 24 million and only conceded 12 goals whole first season.
has nobody mentioned Sergio Asenjo?! Best keeper on the game after 5 seasons.
Sebastian Boenisch, DL from Werder Bremen is not bad…
DC – Mirel Radoi, Zapata, Franco Zuculini (but he’s a DM and CM too), Leo
Davide Santon – DR absolutely brilliant
ML Yuri Zhirkov from CSKA is a great buy – 12m though! :L
MC Witsel – Steven Defour both from Standard and Defour’s actually better than witsel but nobody mentions him….
MR Darijo Srna is one of the best in the game.
DM Anatoly Tymoschuk – another one of the best in the game and also wonderkid Rafael Carioca from Gremio – only 3 mil!
AM – Sergio Mota – Diego Buannanotte – Adel Taarabt – Diego – Willians Santana – Alex
ST – fantastic striker and will go to anyway in a big league, even Rangers… Chindeu Obasi from Hoffenheim aka Edu. also demba ba from hoffenheim. Alexis Sanchez is a great buy. Mario Gomez from Stuttgart
go on my bebo and i can help anyone with people to buy!
liverpool rule
richard towell from celtic – after 4 seasons is the beft left back in britian
Douglas Costa not cheap but worth all the penny.
Lulinha could be better in the game.
Hélder Barbosa best portuguese winger!!!!!!
Bruno Alves….what a solid defender.
Stevan Jovetic, Mirko Vucinic,Walter.
GERSON FOR DC
ADRIEN FOR MC
AQUINO FOR FC
Marek Hamsik (CM) – Young Slovakian playmaker, got for around 15mil. Gets loads of assists.
Oscar Cardozo (ST) – Great target man, top scorer in the prem in his firts season with 20 goals
Mario Balotelli (AM) (ST) – great young, versitile attacker, WONDERKID. Must get early because he goes really expensive.
Matias Fernandez-Villarreal
Thiago Neves- HSV
Federico Facio-Sevilla
Givinco is cheap only 5m. if you are looking for a cheap striker who is experienced M.Owen 4m injured for 2 weeks but worth every penny after 1 season worth 12m.
RAMIRES the best player…!
ignacio camacho
john fleck (bargain)
henri saivet
jozy altidore (transfer list at the start of game)
deigo capel
lautaro acosta
all amazing wonderkids!!
robert lewandowski is a bargain who scores for fun
Alberto Paloschi ST ( Bargain at start of game but after couple of seasons will cost £30 mil)
Guilherme DR (Gremio)
Christian Landu DC (Viking)
Baker DL (Aston Villa)
Fazio DC (Sevilla)
O’Toole MC (Watford)
Jonsson DR (Hearts)
Nordtveit DC (Arsenal)
Marecek MC (Slavia Prague) Best CM on game after 5 seasons, Quality
Keirrison ST (Cortiba))
Di Santo ST (Chelsea)
The majority of these players are relatively cheap at start of game (£5million or less)
Players such as Paloschi, Fazio, Guilherme and Maracek are best players on game after few seasons but they are super expensive, Buy them at start.
Nenad Milijas from Red Star is awsome player!!!
alex raphael meschini, 26yr old AMLC, plays in brazil for internacional. awful physical attributes, but just give him creative freedom and be amazed.
my roma team iz amazing i have gago,navas,camacho,diego milito, sulejmani,diego ,witsel,cacares and asenjo in the secong year but im 7th in the league and its march does any one know how?

Delph from Leeds is an absolute must! stick him in your reserves for a year then introduce him slowly in 2nd season… by start of 3rd season he’s awesome! you will have silly money thrown at you by real madrid and co for this guy!
sakho-psg solid center back
Wonderkids:
acosta
guilherme
balotelli – his favoured personal- paloschi or somthin???????
santon
lassana diarria
juan manuel vargas- great tecnique- eg crossing corners etc.
Gary O’Brien. really good Striker !!
I built a young team with Everton using Yobo, Cahill and Yakubu & Baines as my ‘keep me in a respectable position so I don’t get the sack’ players for three years and I’m challenging for the title now in season 4. These are the young men in my squad.
* Fiorillo GK Sampdoria (got him for 4 mil I think) Awesome
Spence CB/RB West Ham (one million) good cover, amazing at free kicks
Kadar CB/LB Newcastle (less than a million, also good cover)
Paulo CB/RB from some Brazillian side, cost me 6 mil which isn’t cheap, but he’s bloody brilliant for me and everyone’s trying to poach him.
*Bolzoni DM from Inter, got him for 4 mil, got world class for me and starts for Italy now.
Fellaini DM/CM, already at the club and has been really good.
Răzvan Ochiroşii from Bucharest isn’t a world beater but he did a job on the left for me for two seasons getting many assists. I picked him up for 200k abnd sold him for 7 million.
Sergio Motta LM/AM. Can’t remember where I got this lad. Like Razvan he didn’t turn spectacular for me. But I got him for less than 2 mil and he became an above average premiership player. Sold him too for 7 million. Worth a buy.
*John Fleck from Rangers. I got him for around 4 million and he’s a very versatile midfielder/striker. Worth around 15 million now. A must buy.
* Foti from Udinesse, striker. This guy made the difference for me. He cost me ten million which was a gamble I thought but he’s been immense. First season he played was last season and he and Yakubu scored 25 each and left me in third in the legue and with a CL spot. Gave me money to spend and I’ve just bought a Brazillian striker called Kierrsson who has amazing stats but isn’t playing well yet and a left winger called Rossi from Juve I think who’s intense.
All these are worth a go I’d say to build a young squad and see if you can get them good. None are overly expensive either. Current team is Fiorillio, Spence, Yobo, Paulo, Baines, Bolzoni, Cahill, Arteta, Rossi, Foti and Kiersson. Bench= Howard, Kadar, Fleck, Yakubu, Fellaini.
This squad cost less then 30 mil to assemble over three years and I’m second in the league. Safe.
IGNACIO CAMACHO! HOW CAN YOU FORGET HIM! from atletico madrid, first class player, have to sign him.
Also if you are a championship club, or not a top league team, i was norwich city, and i signed Daniele Vantaggiato, he is a striker, scored 44 goals in 47 games. He got player of the season for the whole of the championship, got 10 Man of the Match’s. Great Player, must sign him.
John Fleck from Rangers, great prospect, signed him for just 3.5mil, must sign him, also a player not mentioned, VICTOR MOSES FROM CRYSTAL PALACE. He is just 17 in 1st season, you must sign him whoever you are! Great player at 17, even better in his 20′s! MUST SIGN HIM!
Also Moussa Kone, Great player, great prospect, i must sign!
Jordan Elfverson! Must sign him. only he is a very young player, 16 in 1st season, i signed him when he was 17! What a signing he was, when he was 20, i was in the prem, 23 goals in 34 games, must sign!!
AND YOU MUST SIGN JOHN BOSTOCK FROM TOTTENHAM! MUST SIGN!
3 YOUNGSTERS, YOU HAVE TO SIGN!
DIEGO BUONANOTTE!
IGNACIO CAMACHO!
FRANCO ZUCULINI!
MUST SIGN THESE PLAYERS!!!!
ANDRE-PIERRE GIGNAC
YOU MUST SIGN HIM!
2ST SEASON 34 APPEARANCES, 36 GOALS!
I SIGNED HIM IN MY 2ND SEASON FROM TOULOUSE FC, HE WAS ONLY VALUED AT 4.5 MIL! BUT VERY GOOD ATTRIBUTES!
THE NEW THIERRY HENRY! PROSPECT OF BEING BETTER!!
sorry, supposed to say 1st season above!
lol
Zucillini is a must definately.
Fiorillo is amazing after like 1 season
Ochoa becomes the best keeper in the game if you play him until he’s 26
Walcott goes from 9mil to 38mil in two seasons and becomes a vital member of any squad
gareth Bale, lay him until he’s 21 and Barcelona & other top Teams offer no less that 32mil
Cristaldo is good when you first start and is only young, at around 21 he is the prems top scorer and puts it away practically every time. Amazing prospect.
Craig Gardner surprisingly becoms a good SOLID right back for cheap for any mid table team.
Rytt
i think Steven Defour is an amazing central midfielder he if one for the future and already looking like a new Steven Gerrard.
i think also James McCarthy is also a fantastic young central midfielder .
bye
brazilian ronaldo. signed on a free 14 games so far 18 goals
Nuri Sahin….Dortmund, plays as MC, but can be retrained to play well as AMC. He’s fast enough to play on the wings, but haven’t tried him out there just yet!
Howard Beverland – Northern Irish right back 17 years old I scouted him, also i would look for wonderkids in Mexico because they have loads and Brazil.
