In FM08 I choose to manage England, Chelsea and Newcastle. I like many others I love signing English wonderkids (which is crucial if you’re managing England as a country) however it seems like most of the good wonderkids in FM09 are from other countries so here is a list of some of the player who have impressed me so far on FM09 and were great on FM08;
Players who are top four Premier League standard
- Billy Sharp – Sheffield United
- Ryan Taylor – Wigan
- Steven Taylor -Newcastle
- Curtis Davies – Aston Villa
- Scott Flinders- Crystal Palace
- Leighton Baines – Everton
- Giles Barnes – Derby
- Nedum Onuoha – Man City
Players who I would consider good enough to play for England
- Joe Mattock – Leicester
- Michael woods – Chelsea
- Michael Johnson – Man City
- Adam Johnson – Middlesbrough
- Victor Moses- Crystal Palace
- Paul Anderson – Nottingham City
- Scott Sinclair – Chelsea
- Matt Derbyshire -Blackburn
- Chris Taylor – Oldham
These are all of the players that I have found and would consider as wonderkids if you have any other suggestions excluding all of the obvious ones then please comment .

i also use a lot of newgen from england.
Note: i have some advices for u, if u want to play your fm 2009 with liverpool.
1. At 1st season, sell fabio aurellio to man city at 63M Pounds (it really works)
2. Use that money to buy a good player at aurellio’s position (i think joe mattock was great talented young man for that position)
3. Buy a good striker to duet with torres (find the good team-mates one like tevez) and sell robbie keane at next season
4. At 2nd and 3rd season, sell your unuseful player to man. City (they wanted to buy lucas leiva on 42.5M pounds and Martin Skrtel on 42.5M)
5. Then use the big money to buy the clausul of spanish league’s player (i bought messi on 45M Pounds at 3rd season)

After 4 seasons in prem won the league with birmingham now in 5th season and running away with it already won the league cup and in the semis of FA and EUROs. Cant believe only one person mentioned Bosko Jankovic probably the best player on the game, won world and european player of the year for me three years in a row even before i qualified for europe, absolute gem of a player could score from anywhere and signed him on a free after getting promoted. This is my current squad:
GK: OCHOA/FOSTER
DR: OPARE/RAFINHA
DL: VARGAS/MATTOCK
DC: YUSSUF/DIAKHATE
DC: CHGRYNSKI/S TAYLOR
DMC:SCHNEIRDERLIN(vc)/FATY
MR:SANTON/ROSINA
ML:JANKOVIC(c)/TODOROV
AMC:VUKCEVIC/COUTINHO
ST:FOTI/LEWANDOWSKI
ST:SAIVET/AQUINO
A Couple of stand out buys and cheap
1.T Todorov- can play anywhere across attacking midfield roles and upfront, an absolute genius with the ball at feet, and sets up more goals then anyone would probably be my best player if werent so injury prone, great stats and an average rating of over 7.5 nearly every season and all for 250k in 1st season from ascoli.
2.M Schneirderlin- 1.5m from southampton, starts devolping straight away and mr consistent for me now all attributes over 13 and is a regular in the france squad has even captained them a few times. Excellent at breaking up play and making killer passes, suitable playmaker from DM. Only downfall not the most loyal, everytime a club came in for him wanted to leave even when he had just signed new contract.
3.B Jankovic- Need i say anymore, just buy him and find out. You will find him on loan at genoa from palermo in the 1st season.

Giles Barnes was a great prospect. Sadly, injuries damaged him.
Ryan Taylor is also a good player, but moving to Newcastle was not the right decision.
