paddypower Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Picked him up in the first window for £700k. As you can see he scored 14 league goals and 20 overall - however I think he can do better as I rotated him a fair bit with Defoe and Sakho. I think it may be possible to take him to a Championship club as well considering how low his demands where to sign for Sunderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Very useful player. Bit surprised he got a Work Permit - always assumed he wouldn't be signable in England. Had him on FM16 with Lokomotiv Moscow and he was an absolute monster. Ended up breaking the clubs single-season goal record. Got a ridiculous offer for him in the summer of 2016 and couldn't resist. Was something like 40m from Atletico. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenevo Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Reckon he'd come to Salford City? Haha, in all seriousness, nice find! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogo Bonito Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I was looking at this guy myself yesterday, and put him on my shortlist after checking his real life performances in 2016. Good to see a few of you having positive results with him in FM16 and FM17, definitely one I will try and sign when I get to the right club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 He might come to Championship clubs, but I'm not sure how low he'll go. He wasn't interested in coming to Vitesse in the Eredievisie in FM16, at least according to my scouts on multiple scouts. He usually moved to Portugal in FM16. Very effective as a Complete Forward.

Jogo Bonito Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Cheers, I'm lining up a variety of clubs at different levels and in different countries, so look forward to giving him an opportunity soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Suarez 7 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Bought this lad for Ajax, so far so good 20 games and 11 goals. But staff keep saying he doesn't deserve to start and the board think I've wasted money on him. Paid 3M rising to 4M if he scores certain amount of goals and games he's played. Think i got a good deal but think it's strange club don't rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca72 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Have him on the shortlist - he looks superb and is made for the system i'm playing. He's not interested at the moment (Leeds 1st season) but I'm keeping an eye on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunkerossian Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Ran into a dry spell for me after a good start. TBF, I'm often using him as a lone striker- is he even suited for that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real issue with him being up top alone is the lack of aggression, but he has a very rounded skillset, so he perform in almost any role.

Simply missing from close to the goal. Does he need to be tutored to be effective, or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaprulez Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 signed him in my Dortmund save and rotated him with PEA. Outscored PEA over the course of the season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
acarloscc Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 bought him for Sporting CP... good player but nothing special. maybe i'm not playing him right. do you guys use him solo or in a "two forwards' combo"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogo Bonito Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 He didn't really spark in to life for me at Gent yet, so starts on the bench quite often. I only paid £800k for him at the start of season 1. I'm sure he will justify the fee in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF1990 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 What's his best role when being a lone forward? Dont seem to perform as a Complete Forward. I'm going to change him to target man to see if that gets him going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF1990 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Update: Target man role for 2 games - 4 goals in the first match, hat trick in the 2nd match. I think i've found his best role. What i found funny also, im playing as Toulous. In the Ligue 1 odds for top goalscorer he was favourite for it at 1/6 and 2nd place was Cavani at 9/1. Found it strange that a striker that has not played in Europe, let alone Ligue 1 is the out and out favorite for top goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAnderson Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Used in a 433 as a solo DLF(a). Grabbed 26 goals and 11 assists for me in 40 appearances for Derby. Finished 2nd top goalscorer in the league. Baller in the Championship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nextqprmanager Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I [ QPR ] typically missed out on him - went to Wolfsburg for £800k, now worth £3m !! I`m thinking about starting another save - joking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
