J.W. Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 really? in my game he looked good at the start but after a year and a half he hasnt really developed and struggles to get in juve team. judging by the shot above he DOES turn into a good player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faure Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 He never really developed on my saves. In FM08 it was always an easy-buy. In FM09 it's a bit harder, but i have to say I don't even want to get the guy (unless it's a bargain). He was performance-wise decent at FM08 for me, no matter what team, position or instructions, so I'm a bit reluctant to try a high price buy for him.

dexta200 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 If you buy him and play him he plays very very well. Fantastic buy if Juve don't waste him in his early years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea4Lyf Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I love him in real life. Absolute quality player (very short too ). SI seem to have gotten his attributes correct in-game too which is fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramel Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 An absolute must buy. Got him for €16.5m off Juventus second season and has been sheer class since. The screenshot speaks for itself: He plays AML for me and cuts inside to score since he's right footed. Have him tutored and make him learn place shots and he scores for fun.

deejay10 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Teach him the right PPM's, and retrain him to play upfront, (while still playing him as AML or AMC), and he will score bags of goals, a lot of which will be spectacular Messi-like efforts. I once had him score the top 2 goals, out of the 3 voted for goal of the season. Needs playing time though to improve, and Juve cometimes seem to waste him on my games.

shanks Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 So what is his best position. Up front or on the left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 AML/ML for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macsoz Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 juve wasted him on my parma game but they sold him for 3.5mil which is an absolute bargan and his stats wheren't that bad tho and he still had time time improve, i tried to sign him but he went to ascoli. i heard they can do that quite often and he can usually be picked up about 2-3 seasons in for a bargan.

swisso Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think this guy is hit and miss for a lot of people, i've never played any game where he's developed properly. He always struggles to get a game for Juve and they always sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowSimao Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I use him as an AMC at Benfica. I taught him 'run with the ball through the center' to take advantage of his 20 dribbling and 20 agility and he can create some very dangerous plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennec Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 very different mental stats on both screenshots. mayby they just different tutors? in my game started in latest patch he got DET of 10. on screens he have 18 and 20. i got him for 4,7m £ end of seson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Addictive Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 he needs to be play regulary or else his stats will drop tremondously and never bounce back again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maran Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 he is wasted in my save too.. still with juventus.... his determination is only 10! definitely not worth buying for me cuz he's 25 now and has just been wasted. shame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisso Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Very interested to know how you got his determination from 10 to 20:eek: ???? Lemme know and any other tips u hav on developing him would be appreciated.Thanks I've never seen Determination rise naturally in any game i've played in FM09, even for youngsters who i know have high Professionalism/Ambition as hidden stats! And i very much doubt it's rose from 10 to 20 in his game in the space of 2/3 seasons. That'd be a 3 point rise every season until 2012 aged 24 ?! Something fishy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
killface Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Tutoring raises determination a lot. Getting 20 would be very hard, but in 08 I raised Wijnaldum's by 6 one time. If their personality matches up really well with the tutors maybe anything is possible. Tutoring is such a convoluted process, it's hard to say what is possible.

Mortal Coil Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I bought this player due to his stats and age, but, if he didnt play every match he started "spitting the dummy" had to offload him on a loan with option to buy, as he was affecting squad morale.... :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnakai Haaskivi Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 He's still with Juve on my Fiorentina save; I don't know his stats, but he's an absolute animal for them. They bought Benzema this year (2015-16) and you still have to base your gameplan around stopping Giovinco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have never offered for Giovinco simply due to the fact he costs more than Buonanotte, and stats are similar, im presuming Gio improves more. Is it worth paying the extra for Gio simply due to the fact hes bit taller, and comes from Juve ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
