Used to cost about £10m to buy, but he was a beast of an AMC. I think Everton signed in IRL (possibly as a result of playing CM?). Anyway, he turned out to be a bit poo.[/quote'] Was scrolling down looking for this fella, 7.5m at start of every game - absolute steal! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champman Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 In fm09 or fm10 I signed pogrenyak or the pog for short from zenit and he was a goal monster, doesn't seem to be fulfilling his promise as in fm12 he is no where near as good and doesn't seem to be able to stay at a club for long. Going back further into the mists of time, anyone remember Peter madden from brondby, used to always snap him up. I remember mark Kerr being too good for Dundee united where he started, must have been fm 08 or something. A belter was Phillip picken who I signed for my Chelsea side in like champ 00/01 or something, signed from united's reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I remember mark Kerr being too good for Dundee united where he started, must have been fm 08 or something. Waaaaaaay earlier than FM08. He was being mentioned in this sort of thread around then. CM03/04, maybe. Eduardo Ratinho, anyone? Along with Rafinha (he is a good player tbf) he was one of the best young right backs in the game from about FM06-08. Doesn't even start in Brazil any more. See also: Kerlon, Lulinha. As for Supat Rugratsamee (sp), he was accidentally put into the game when Pompey signed him as a young teenager. His age was decreased by one every year rather than removing him until he was old enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMT Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 There was a Colombian in 01/02, Arizabal or something like that, he was awesome and would literally come to any side, I had him in the Premier at Newcastle banging them in, and the same at Rushden in Division 3 (as it was then.) Don't think I ever heard anything of him in real life, and google only brings up a few CM pages.

whilewolf Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Oh, thought of a few more. In one version I'd always raid peterborough for some of their youngsters who ended up being some of the best in the world. I think one was called Gareth Jellyman? Others were Simon Davies and Matthew Etherington. There were probably a couple more. I think a couple of them made it into a decent club in real life but never were really world-beaters. It would have been around the same time that there was another young English LB LWB playing in the lower leagues he would go on to be a great attacking full back. I can only remember that his first name started with a D and his surname with a K. It's driving me mad can anyone help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember thinking that season that somebody should have reigned the Peterborough researcher in a bit. They had a team full of young players with outrageous stats that would all become good Premier League starters. Helgi Danielsson, Simon Davies, Matthew Etherington, Adam Drury, Mark Tyler, Gareth Jelleyman, Matthew Gill, John O'Flynn, Simon Rusk, Tony Shields, Matthew Wicks, Tom Williams, Shane Tolley. The list is endless. All had Premier League stats despite being League One players. Didn't even have to look that up, bought them so often I remember them all!

RBKalle Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Mashaga Bakenga at Rosenborg is a great 55k buy and i bet he wont make it IRL...seems to fit the criteria. Young, Cheap to buy and scores for fun. Dude... Bakenga is 19 and scored 12 goals in 26 apps (13 as starter) in his breakthrough season... Sure in FM he has a bit of an unfair advantage due to the ME's emphasis on pace, but isn't it a bit too early to include him in this list, also considering his Negative PA can give different career paths to his FM alter ego?

av3ry Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Dean Ashton because of that dickey ankle cutting short his career. He could have easily made it in a major team on FM.

Guest Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Can't have one of these threads without a mention to the lad from Northampton Town (CM01/02) who fell so far he doesn't even deserve having his name said on the board. When the 2015 version of the thread is started I'm sure that Ravel Morrison will be in with a shout of getting a mention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
popej Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Can't remember which version it was exactly... Perhaps 99/00? Think it was the season after United won the treble. Anyway, there was an icelandic player who played for a team in Reykjavík. Andrey Sigborsson was his name, or something like that. Signed him for United and he went on to be literally the best player in the game with ridiculous attributes and goals per game. I'm talking like 60/70 goals a season. Signed him on pretty much every save after that, he'd go for Divison 1 teams I'm pretty sure too, and he'd only cost 250k or so. Never heard of him in real life! Johann Thorhallson (Porhallson)? Or possibly Orri Freyr Oskarson? For me it was Tim Janssen of PSV (or at least he was at the time). He scored over 70 goals for my Wrexham side in all competitions in one season. It was CM4 I think, the game before it became FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
