chucklehead Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Playing as Dulwich Hamlet again. I had pretty much a full squad clearout at the beginning of the game and signed a bunch of freebies. Not sure that will work again if I start a new save after launch, always find it a little easier to sell on and sign players during Beta. Here's who I've picked up: GK - Luka Nakov. Really decent young keeper, got him on low wages too DR - Kevin Foley. Getting on, is nearly 35 when the game starts, but very good attributes. Already getting updates that he's on the decline, so will only be good for a season I'd imagine DR - Joshua Webb. Solid but unspectacular young defender who will sign on very low wages DR - Alex Pike. Wasn't able to sign this guy as his wage demands were pretty high, but looks a really good player at this level DL - Tyler Brown. Good all round defender who can fill in at CB in a pinch DC - Mic'hel Parker. Bit low on stamina, but otherwise a very good, two footed defender with decent first touch and passing DC - Ali Omar. Another good all round defender. Good physical stats DC - Jack Cowgill. Respectable squad player who will sign on very low wages MC - Mark McKee. Fairly certain I wouldn't be able to sign this guy if I tried after launch. My AssMan rates him as playing L2 level. And I'm only paying him £250 a week! Superb athletic midfielder, can play most roles pretty well. Is also natural at AM position too MC - Liam Bellamy. Useful squad player on low wages. Good Teamwork, Workrate and Stamina MC - Matt Carter. Decent squad player, 2 footed and with a good long range strike MC - Darren Oldaker. Signed this guy toward the end of August, another player who I don't think will come to Dulwich once the Beta is over. Another L2 level player, is an excellent Advanced Playmaker. Superb Passing, Vision and Free Kicks MC - Aiden Mesias. Missed out on this guy, worth checking out AML - Khalid Simmo. Missed out on this guy too, also worth checking out AML/R - Tobias Hayles-Docherty. Good pace, is a natural on either wing AML/R - Nathan Clements. Another versatile player, is natural on either wing or up top. Really good Dribbling, Passing and Off the Ball ST - Alasane Meite. Low Stamina and Determination, but otherwise a really good young striker. Is currently my top goalscorer You are welcome folks! What other non-league bargains have people uncovered? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
larnson Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Darren Oldaker is great, I would definitely recommend him, but the standout player for me has been Jordan Cox, an AMR who is rated as a L1 player halfway through my first season in Van South. He’s also my leading goal scorer and assister... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityAndColour Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Nick Okoro - a striker formerly of Birmingham. Good enough for most Conference National teams with high potential. Gideon Adu-Peprah - a superb left back, formerly of Man City and Newcastle. Will Patching - former Man City youth, a really solid playmaker in either the MC or AMC positions.

profii Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Here are the players I have signed in my save so far as Chester, so one of the top teams in VNL which may skew your ability to sign of course. Almost all the players were signed on frees so in season 2/3 they were available as and when clubs release them... Season 1: (Conf North) Jack Cowgill - DC - Will get you through Conf North and be ok in National but not a top National player. Matt Carter - MC - Couldnt get in my team even in Conf North Joshua Webb - DR - Similar to Cowgill, saw us through the Conf North but had to start dropping him quite a bit in the National Season 2: (Conf National, freshly promoted) Joe Lynch - MC - great different option Kwame Thomas - ST - seemed to develop a partnership by the end of the season, perhaps low adaptability or something as he took a while to get going, but I was trying him as a winger a lot rather than a striker at first. Kyle MacFarlane - ST - couldnt really get him going Erico Sousa- ML/R - decent player -be wary of international duty though Luke McCullough - MC - didnt break into the team David Agbontohoma - DC - squad player but probably not first choice if you want to win the div. Dion Kelly-Evans - DR - decent going forward but a little bit unreliable going back Joe Bateman - MC - the coaches didnt like him but I thought he was a decent squad option James Jones - DC - solid defender George Cox - DL - similar to Dion, good going forward, bit of a liability at the back Shamar Moore - ST - just get this guy! Dion McGhee - good quality winger Luca Ercolani - DC - get him too! Season 3 (Conf National again, after a failed playoff) Daniel Lowey - LB - solved the defensive issues Michael Kennedy - LB - decent when called upon but couldnt get Lowey and cox out the pecking order Joe Lewis - DC - not that impressed with him but decent enough Jack Hunter - DM - Solid player, easy to poach from Blyth when you are a div above. Luke Maxwell - DM - even better than Hunter but I had to pay £45k comp for him - not sure if I just messed up and should have waited for him to get released. Issac SInclair - AML/R - similar to Jack hunter, easy to nick from a div below - great winger Manasse Mampala - ST - good player, stats seem better than Moore but he didnt quite out perform.

paddypower Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) I started unemployed and got a job managing Braintree in the National South. They have some very good players for this level - enough to get promoted first season. Femi Akinwande - the pick of the bunch. Beast of a striker who ended up top scorer. Killing it in the division above as well Jason Banton - 5star LW. A little inconsistent but on his day destroys teams on his own. Seems to enjoy big matches and he tore it up in the playoffs. Byron Lawrence - he was at the club on loan when I arrived. Not sure if he starts there. Plays amazing as a carrilerlo and is a bit of a set piece specialist. Notable signings: Phillipe : a Brazilian free agent. Plays from the left or behind the striker. I like to think of him as my Coutinho. Plays best from the bench and is still cutting it on the National League. Ngoo - a 6ft7 striker who can also play on the wings. Ex Liverpool youth who is now in Albania. Very good impact sub off the bench. I had him on loan from January, he was available for free after that as his contract expired but he wasn't interested in negotiations. Mark McKee - he's mentioned above but he's worth mentioning again, his stats are way too good for this level. He's a natural box to box midfielder, however I seem to be getting more out of him recently as a mezzala. Alex Palmer - My big signing after promotion. A freebie goalkeeper from West Brom. He's probably good enough for the professional leagues. Costs a fortune but I had to have him.

Fubz Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Thought I'd chuck these in here as they helped me win the National League at a canter with Notts County (albeit we were expected too) and the L2 title the following season. Jimmy Mas (RB) - Honestly, this lad is a rock, never let me down and chips in with assists. Work horse down the right for me. Can see him staying with us and playing in the Prem (has the potential too). Joe Muscatt (LB) - Again, solid FB (played him as WB on attack). Loves to get up and down the wing and whip a ball in! Charlie Oliver (CB) - Monster, leader, set piece threat, throws his body on the line, need I say more?! Loves to carry the ball out of defence (which I love in my CB's). Francesco Di Nolfo (AMR/L) - Played 1st season as an IW on attack from AMR and was 2nd top scorer for us. Switched to winger on support (AML) 2nd season and still chipped in with 10+ goals. Can play both wings with great natural fitness. Thomas Oualembo (ST) - Top scorer in National League and League 2. Broke Notts County's scoring record for most goals in a single season. Struggled to adapt for a few months in L2 but still ended up being top scorer in league. 47 goals in 77 games Marco Ramkilde (ST) - 12 goals in 18 games as Oulaembo's understudy. Got injured 2nd season for 6 months and hasn't been the same, shame really. Also signed Ricardo Campos, Martin Onoabhagbe and Joe Coveney that helped us out (not so much in L2). All signed on a free, with Oulaembo the highest wages at 1k a week. Now, I know Notts County rep is high for a non-league team so some of these may not want to join but I'd try any ways, all way too good for the National League!

Barnetfan Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Leon Maloney I got for my Wrexham team at the start of the first season for 14k (in installments) from Portsmouth. He's RW and has the potential to be a championship winger and on arrival was a leading player in the national league. He was even in the dream starting 11 in the season preview. I signed Thomas Oualembo who has been mentioned on a previous post and can confirm he's amazing, scored 20 the first season in an average team but my second season when I was promoted he scored 40 goals in 46 games. He will not sign a contract and wants to leave but nobody has met his release clause of 1.9million even though theres 20 odd clubs after him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaggerPaul Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Might be jumping the gun with this lad. Devon Arnold of Yeovil Town looks an excellent prospect for the Vanarama leagues. When I arrived at Yeovil from Braintree he was already out on loan at Truro, where he scored 12 goals in 18 appearances for the Southern League Premier outfit. For the start of 2020/21 the wage budget needed to be cut so, for me, he would feature in the first team. So far 9 goals in 9 appearances. Report has him as operating at Vanarama National level, with the potential to be a League Two striker. A small fast striker with decent finishing, first touch needs to be improved but nonetheless looks an excellent prospect in the Vanarama's - League 2.

3runhomer Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Lewis Archer. He’s a striker I’ve had at Altrincham from the Vanarama North up to League 2. His attributes won’t blow you away but you can see he has goals in him. I left the team midway through the 21/22 season but returned late in the 22/23 season to save them from relegation. Archer didn’t play great for the AI manager but you can see he’s tearing it up for me this season. Archer is effective as an advanced forward but I like him even better as a pressing forward on support (he’s a good passer, pair him with a poacher).

CityAndColour Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 There's an excellent Irish striker available on a free at the start of the game, Jamie Gray. A former Stevenage youth player and he will go to most Conference South sides. (He doesn't appear to have had a real life club for 12 months but highly rated prospects that get released often seem to be forgotten about in terms of data, so they remain highly rated and unattached when each version comes out.)

Tazzylord Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Kian Yari, Iranian young attacking central midfielder. Can play in striker too. Can operate well up to League One level. I got him for Curzon Ashton in Vanarama North and still use him in League Two. William Carvalho, signed him from a team in league beneath North/South. Used him in thd National League and seems like a solid right winger who can provide plenty of assists and notched up 8 goals on wing for us. Connor Stanley from Manchester United. Another winger was released when we were promoted to National League. Can perform at League One level too.
