Harryseaess Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Full Name: Simon Vukcevic Club: Sporting CP Age: 22 Value: £4m Sell Value: £6.25m Position: AMC (natural), AML (accomplished), ML (accomplished), MC (accomplished) Screenshot: He doesn't seem to be talked about much on these forums but I think that he is a cracking player, gets plenty of assists from AMC and scores a fair few goals aswell, reminds me of van der Vaart in FM08. Anybody had any experiences with him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanks Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah had him when i was with Sporting. Fantastic player. IMO he is a better AML than AMC but thats my experience with him., Other people may say differently. How much did he cost you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryseaess Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I got him for £6.25m at the start of the first season, a bargain really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Vukčević is quite a useful player to have, over-rated though due to his one footedness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamjerome Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 he has 2 very important stats for me at a terribly poor level: 7 for team work. and 12 for determination. obviously he's quite able and if your team is all round solid his weaknesses won't matter but i feel there are far more well rounded players available, not really too keen on his decisions of 14 (not bad but not great) for an attacking player; but he's a good buy for 'okay' teams nonetheless.

Mwtralha Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Vukcevic is awsome IRL, not overrated. He is great on the game, get him to take freekicks and play him on the left and he will bang you a few goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I always wondered if he was too slow for a winger or not. Footedness just boosts the stats I dont think being 2 footed is a huge advantage. I have a regen AMR who is completely one footed and at the moment he is averaging 7.7 for the season and in 36 games has 24 goals and 22 assists. It is just annoying that stats are increased so much due to being one footed but in my opinion it makes very little difference if any at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagepenguin Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 To me, his stats seem better suited for a very attack minded central midfielder rather than a winger (good dribbling, yet crappy speed and mediocre flair) or attacking mid. Ofc, I'm sure he could play amc somewhat convincingly, but I really think he seems better suited for the middle. Overall though, seems like he could be a bit difficult to fit into a system (and damn is his teamwork poor 0_o) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I realise the screenshot is quite near the start of the game, but is there any chance someone could get a screenshot of him July/August time 2008? It's better to have a screenshot of him at the start. If no one can I will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shimceltic Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 any good replacements for Vukcevic? I signed him for my porto team and he was top scorer and most assists, barce then put a bid in in the transfer window which my board accepted. I had him behind my striker.

HELP ME WITH FM PLS Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 yeh i dont know the deal with this guy, stats of a one footed Riquelme, but only cares about money. It's either he hasn't adapted to the league or doesn't care about EPL for my third season QPR side, but UEFA cup where i put the reward as high as possible he plays his ass off and gets 8s, in EPL he gets 6.2, and in his personal before every UEFA game it says he's pleased about the high reward, he's a slimey player with a bad personality, I'm going to try to sell him in January to Man United who are after him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackemforever Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have been a fan of this guy since FM 2005. Ever game I play with a top team I end up signing him and in the game I left on Holiday till 2040 recently he was bought by Man Utd and won world player of the year 3 times in a row starting when he was 25. I have always had success playing him as an AMC rather than a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 he is likely to have disciplinary problems, like contesting the manager ans things like that. but technically he's an excellent player. in reality he also plays as a second striker i dont know about that in FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy2610 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Has been good so far for me in my Newcastle team. I play him LM in a 4-4-2 and he has got 5 goals and 9 assists in 28 games - a very consistent performer too, always rated around 7.0 for each game.

shanks Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 He tends to be a lot hit and miss i've noticed. Some saves ive had him in he's been amazing, Others not so good. Suppose it depends on the team he is in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackemforever Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Tbh, now I don't care what you guys say. I have had him in the past and he was amazing for me and I just secured him for the second season with Sunderland for a tidy sum of £8 million.

AXERTYRE Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I bought him for 15M in my 5th season, he got 5 20 stats so technically he is 1 of the best player. However he is the backup of Mata on the left, but when he plays he gets at least a rating of 7 every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheDance Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 It might be a one-off on my save but it seems to me as Vukevic is a World-Class midfielder. He scores tons of goals, and is deadly at free-kicks and from 20-30 yards in open play. I employ him as a MC but set a high-ish mentality and a forward arrow, he's simply brilliant for my Aston Villa side, currently better in terms of performance with his team-mate Lionel Messi. 7 games into the season he has scored 7 leage goals and got 4 assists and 3 MOTM's and an average rating of 7.83. Currently reigning English Footballer of the year (former runner-up as well). One time runner-up for European Midfielder of the year, and twice in 3rd, also one time Champions Cup best player. This guy is consistent all season but even then he can up his game for the big teams and occasions quite markedly. He scored a hat-trick for me in the EC Final from MC against Inter. He can pick a pass and has great vision, he blasts them in from any angle and is a valuable asset for any team that wants Champions League success imo. One of the best MC's on the game along with the like of Fabregas and Essien. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELP ME WITH FM PLS Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 for me he sucks on the left wing hes so damn slow. Considering his amazing statss for me, he always underperforms, a bad attitude. For example european cup games theres a high win bonus so he gets an 8 everytime. Then in the league when its a normal win bonus he gets 6s, and before every european game it says in his PR "excited about high win bonus in european games", what a goddamn mercenary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom orchard Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I need some advise on this player guys. Ive had him before and played him behind a solo striker in a AMC role and he was great. Now, as a long term project, im trying to build a style of play that is currently sadly lacking IRL at my beloved Blackburn Rovers. Here is the formation http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q32/hertsrover/Formation.png Basically its the current Barca formation and style (thanks to AcidBurn for the tacic download) and I was deliberating signing Simon to perform the Iniesta role, see below for player instructions (currently using Maniche as a stop gap). http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q32/hertsrover/Instructions.png What do you guys think, can he fit in in CM as well as he does at AMC?

Just think of Vuk like Riquelme, they are very similar though Riquelme of course much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
