skogmantore Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 The one thing I miss most of all in all the player tips is the hidden factor I would call "willingness to sign". I have played days and days of FM08, but I have found no pattern to what makes a player willing to sign for whatever team/league I'm playing. The "ask assistant to filter unrealistic targets" is a close proxy, but far from perfect. Also, I have found that when my bid for a player is accepted and I click "offer contract", they say they are not interested, but I have tried anyway, and sometimes they have come back to negotiate. Here is my list of the best players I've managed to sign at the start of the game for Leeds in League One. My guess is that all of them would be good (and willing) signings for the Championship and even decent signings for Premier League. Some of them I even convinced to come to League Two. Pablo Piatti (if other clubs don't snatch him first) Diego Buonanotte (will negotiate after stating no interest, always filtered out by assistant) Bogdan Stancu (often not interested, but eventually signs after some negotiation, often filtered by assistant) Martin Olsson (always filtered out by assistant, but I signed him many times - best left back signing on many levels btw) Rene Mihelic (willing to come to lower leagues - but if other clubs are interested you could forget it) Other good ones out there too (listed below), but these are really key to getting a "good save" going. Other good onesthat I have gotten League One or below: Adrian Hora Alo Bärengrub Mikael Lustig Artur Sorin Stefan Mardare Jan Polak Da Mota Jonathan Bru Benjamin Laurant Sabrin Sburlea Nejc Pecnik Ionescu Dimitriu Copil Marcus Williams Geoffrey Jourdren Artur Kotenko Nengomashe (foreign but always gets wp) Kaimar Saag Lubos Kamenar Tibor Tisza Amin Bacinovic Dorin Andronic Anes Mravac Juan Carlos Arce (foreign but always gets wp) I hope it's of use to anyone, and I hope to see suggestions on who is missing from my list.

AcidBurn Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 This is a good thread I am about to start a game as Crewe and always have trouble finding any defenders that can actually defend that are cheap. Any ideas got aroun 500k to buy 2 new CBs. Do you know any good lone strikers as well. Do the players you listed improve I know afew of them are good enough to go alot higher than league 1. Thanks.

Neil Kennedy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 acidburn.. for cb's try sashi chalwe and kelvin langmead, both brilliant for me in league 1 and good enough for the championship aswell. for lone striker definately buy marcin robak, i play him as a lone striker and hes the best striker ive ever had. in league one his record was something brilliant averaging about 1.5 goals and game and hes still amazing in the championship, played 3 games so far and hes scored 8! 2 hattricks and a brace.

Versatile too. Sburlea- Another young romanian with potential Mussasa- I noticed someone mentioned him further up,got him on a free after season 1 and he got 30 goals as we sneaked the play offs in league 1. Make sure you get him on a decent contract length though,i only signed him on a 1 year deal and he wouldnt sign a new 1 so now has pi$$ed off to Bristol City on a free. Next season is going to be impossible!! Cristea- Plays Dl but better at AML- uality player, tore it up for my Dale side as we got promoted from league 1. Sabic- good young DC Zec- Looks quality on my game, just cant get a work permit for him. Good loan signings for league 1 and below include: Damien Plessis Craig Carthcart Jamie O Hara Jay Spearing Simon Dawkins Thomas Perkhart (sp?)- at Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiehex Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Guys I know Murphy has been mentioned. I actually got him to come to Salisbury. I just kept offering over and over til he agreed in mid august. Bout broke the bank on him but he scored 90 goals overall so worht every penny. Using Kimz Tactics we won the League, Setanta and FAT runner up. Made it to 5th round of FA cup (due to good draw helping) where we lost to West Ham Also I got Batista from Fulham on loan who was awesome in Blue square Premier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
