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 .

    for arsenal use these top (underrated) players for success:D
    goal – scottt filnders ( you need a new number one and he fitws the bill perfectly
    Centre backs- Nedum Onuoha and Breno or tal ben haim
    full backs – joe mattock – ryan taylor- leighton baines
    dm – jean 2 makoun or ever banega
    cm – willian , piatti , sergio auegero , micheal woods,Giles Barnes
    wingers – chris taylor,paul anderson, stewart downing,clieton xavier
    strikers – these are must have players I cant stress this enough – fredric kanoute , billy sharp, wagner love, and use carlos vela who you already have

    how r u doing in the game so far ive just signed mohammed sakho who seems really good so far I’ve also signed scott sinclair & guardado they all seem like good buys

    @ sammy if ur still in the same transfer window I got ruud vannistelrooy for 4 million for arsenal and I’m sure u could probably get owen for the same sort of fee

    Claude

  30. I think that KaKA is the best player in the world

  31. Liamm says:

    Gerarrd, CR7, Messi, Benzema, have the ability to turn a game around

  33. FM PSP says:

    hi m8′s
    I was wondering about Axel Witsel, he seems a nice hot propect
    any comments on him? =))
    oh and try this guy – Mascio, he’s in Cisco. 2 or 3 out of 6 shots he scores from long distance and he gets really good in second season =)

    cheers ^^

  38. Mike says:

    “Paul Anderson – Nottingham City ”

    As a Forest fan I feel the need to highlight this glaring error.

    Also, Daniel Sturridge of man City, you can get him on a free at the end of the first season quite often if you’re a half decent team and he’s good. One for the future though. I’ve got him at AC Milan, my scouts reckon he’ll be as good as Owen (signed for 6.25million, scored 19 goals – bargain)but I’ve shipped him out on loan for now.

    Also, he’s obvious but Lescott is ace – he defends but if you try and get him in the box for corners and aim at him then he scores loads, got two, and a cleansheet on his debut for me.

  39. claude says:

    @ Mike
    I know about the Nottingham”city” error and I aplolgise for the mistake,
    also good call on sturridge I cant believe I forgot to add him ,
    Lescott is good in some games but in mine he isnt a very good player.
