clokey1988 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Jamil Adam probably needs no introduction to anyone who has played much lower league Football Manager as he has been a monster for years. But this year is no different, and as he just fired my Luton Town team all the way to the Premiership with four successive promotions, I figured he still deserves a thread of his own. He is available on a free transfer at the beginning of the game, and will accept wages of around 1000 pounds per week. His only preferred move is "Runs with ball through centre". My assistant has been telling me to teach him "places shots", but I haven't as I like players without either of the PPMs affecting their finishing. Maybe he would be even better with it though, who knows? Here is him at the end of the first season (in the Conference): Second season (League 2): Third season (League 1): Fourth season (Championship): And here's his career league history: http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l588/lgunibrow88/JamilAdamHistory_CareerStats-2.png As you can see, he has improved at a rate of knots as he has stepped up through the leagues. I must credit Fabio MVP for his excellent training schedules which have allowed him to develop... you can download these schedules here (hope Fabio MVP doesn't mind me linking to them, if you are reading this Fabio MVP and want the link removed let me know!): http://www.4shared.com/file/5f2-x3NP/Fabio_MVP_s_Training_Schedules.html Put him on the advanced forward schedule and watch him fly! Basically, a guy that can be signed for nothing on a low wage, score a goal a game in every league up to the Premiership and be sold for a huge profit (look how much he is worth in the fourth screen shot, and a few clubs have registered "major" interest in him so presumably they would be willing to bid above his valuation).

JoeBainborough Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Looks like he's been outstanding for you! Especially if he's still performing in the championship! Have you been promoted to the premiership? Wondering if he could do the same there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clokey1988 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Might as well ask this in here I suppose - looking at his stats, do you think he could do a job in the Premiership (in the fourth season, not the first obviously!)? I want to let him try because of how awesome he has been for me, but at the same time I am tempted to cash in and get some proven or high potential players with the money (bear in mind that Luton Town aren't exactly flush with cash and a fee of, saaay, 7.5 million ish could probably go a long way to rebuilding the squad).

Mainly thanks to him He's scored plenty of goals against Premiership teams in the cups (we got to the semi-finals of both League and FA cups in the fourth season), but that's not really the same. I don't know whether to give him a chance or cash in now while his valuation is high. Decisions, decisions.... Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBainborough Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think I'd just give him a chance as goalscorers like that are so hard to find, especially with funds like Luton will have. If he even grabs you 30, it could be enough to keep you up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opps Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 He managed to grow a face between season one and two! He has stats in the right place to succeed in the PL in my opinon, but there will be much better options around in the form of regens, who will cost very little. Obviously he has more value due to his history with the club, so would make a decent enough backup I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to avoid regens if at all possible, at least for a few seasons - I want to establish us in the Prem with real players as much as I can... if it's possible, anyway! Cheers.

Mike_Cardinal Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 What a player. He's unbelievable in the non-leagues, but I've never seem him develop as well as that - kudos. I wouldn't tell him to place his shots. The best thing about him, aside from his pace and skill allowing him to brilliantly run at teams and tear them apart on his own, is his amazing technique, which gives him a great range of shots - he'll score some lovely chips, smash in screamers from outside the area and, at times, tuck it gently into the corner. I'd just let him do his thing. The problem is that he's probably only going to become a Championship level player or better if he's given regular starts every year, so he's not really a great prospect for higher level teams to try and raise, I would say.

Nottingham Forest Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Jamil Adam . I last signed him on FM10 where as you've said he was good before. Looks like you've got him to improve drastically. I'd definitely give him a chance in the Prem. He definitely deserves it and he's still fairly young as well.

clokey1988 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 He's doing okay in the Premiership. 5 goals and 5 assists in 15 games, average rating of 7.35 so playing well. His season was interrupted by broken ribs in the second game so he missed 4 weeks but now he is back and doing well. He's also established himself as an Ireland regular, even scored a goal against England! He's still improving as well, his link-up play is superb even though his stats wouldn't really suggest he would do well in that area. I'll post a screen shot at the end of the season, I'm only at Christmas at the moment as uni work is taking up most of my spare time right now. Cheers.

Check the first post in this thread - there's a link to the ones I've been using (full credit Fabio MVP). Also I always put him on intensive training on whichever of his attacking attributes are lowest at the time, then change it when that attribute improves (e.g. have him on special training for finishing, then when that goes up, composure, then off the ball, then back to finishing).

ScottishManager Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Signed him for Peterhead and he was rubbish for about 6 months but I persisted with him and he has turned into a bit of a machine scoring 10 goals in 16 games alongside Rory Mcallister, my team is now top of the league, although I am going to lose him at the end of the season because we cannot meet his wage demads etc. Part-time footballers having agents are ridiculous!

arnarth Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I signed him for my Alloa side in the Scottish 3rd division. I've achieved two promotions in two seasons and his stats were as following. Season 11/12 (3rd div.) - P 40 Goals 42 Assists 14 MoM 10 Avrg Rating 7.83 Season 12/13 (2nd div.) - P 34 (2) Goals 34 Assists 8 MoM 10 Avrg Rating 7.65 And now I'm in the 1st division and he's still banging them in. Season 13/14 (1st div.) - P 8 Goals 7 Assists 2 MoM Avrg Rating 7.57 He's outstanding. For the first two seasons I played him up front with Pablo Counago whom was also a beast for me, scoring a little bit less than Jamil but giving more assists. I lost Pablo after the 2nd season to some spanish side as he wasn't interested in renewing his deal, so now I'm playing him as a lone striker in a counter attacking system. He's still doing good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

clokey1988 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think it's fair to say he can definitely perform in the Premiership: In fairness, his goals per game ratio is a little misleading as 5 of his 12 league goals have come in his last 2 games. But as you can see from his assists and average rating he still turns in good performances even when he isn't banging in a goal every week. Has anyone else noticed he always seems to hit a good run of form around the turn of the new year? I'm wondering if it has something to do with his high stamina rating meaning he stays fresh when the fixtures pile up and defenders are tired. He's currently 40 or so goals away from breaking the Luton record for most league goals scored. What a guy Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
