Name: Matías Fernandez
Age: 20 or 21
Position: AM LC, retrained as either AM RLC or AM LC/FC
Club at start of game: Villarreal
Value: £4,500,000
Price Paid/Year Paid: Between £9m and £13m/ 2007
Work permit needed?: Can't remember.

Worth £25m at Chelsea at start of my 3rd season.

-----------

Name: Javier Arizmendi
Age: 23 or 24
Position: AM RC/FC
Club at start of game: Valencia Mestella (B team)
Value: £8m, drops too £6,750,000 in 2nd season (or did for me)
Price Paid/Year Paid: Loan/2009 (Jan window) - £7m/2009 (June)
Work permit needed?: No

Doesn't look that good but 10 goals, 8 assists and 3 MoM in 10(11) appearances isn't to be sniffed at. Plays best as a striker, but can play well in MC or AMC.

-----------

Name: Miguel Veloso
Age: 18 or 19
Position: DC, DM (retrained as D LC, DM or DM, AM I think)
Club at start of game: Sporting
Value: Unsure
Price Paid/Year Paid: £21m/2007
Work permit needed?: No

Huge price tag, worth it eventually. Not for clubs in urgent need of other players.

At the start of the season go to CSKA Moscow and the Sergei Ignashevich is available on a free transfer he's 27-28 but outstanding, you have to play him a lot tho otherwise he gets homesick now worth 15 mill

Derek Boateng is worth a look ideal for a mid table premiership side but could still hold his own in top european club I think

DEREK BOATENG

Name: Fernando Gago
Age: Unsure
Position: DM (I play him LCM)
Club at start of game: Real Madrid
Value: Unsure
Price Paid/Year Paid: £12 million/2007
Work permit needed?: Yes i think

If you play him in a 4-4-2 formation, put him in centre midfield and set him to long shots. He scored 4 goals in 1 game for Real Madrid when you set him to long shots (often), Even tho his stats say his long shots suck, he is a bargain buy and guaranteed to get a goal a game.

This person isnt one of the best midfielder on the game but one of the best for a league 1 side

Buy Seth Johnson he is out of contract he is injured to start with but when match fit he is brilliant.

Name: Iago
Age: 18
Position: ML/AML
Club: Barcelona C
Value: £2m
Price Paid: £6m
Work Permit Needed: No

I signed Iago for Manchester United and he is quality. He fitted in straight away and did well to keep Giggs and Nani on the bench. He provides Rooney and Tevez with plenty of assists and has bagged a few goals too! An 18 year old for £6m with his whole career ahead of him is money well spent.

I've just started a game with southend in league one. I'm in desperate need of a natural left midfielder/winger as I've not got one in my squad. I've got about £500k to spend.

Has anybody got any suggestions?

Cheers

Name: Giles Barnes
Age: 19
Position: AMRC
Club at start of game: Derby
Value: £3.2mil I think
Price Paid/Year Paid: I always start as Derby for a challenge.
Work permit needed?: No

Giles Barnes is just a dream, he is ideal playing CAM just behind a tall player, e.g I signed Crouch in my second season at Derby, Barnes scored 13 goals! Even though I got relegated

Goran pandev, is probably one of the best strickers you can buy in the game because of his capability to score i bought him for 14million with a clause of 50% on next sale he scored 34 goals in 39 matches it's a remarcable acheivement espeacily if u make him play as a Lone stiker

Bojan - He plays for Barcelona, he is onli 16 and out of contract, he is an awsome striker i got him for liverpool he dnt do so well in his 1st season as he is stil very young, but in his second season start playing him more regularly n he bags at least 30 -40 goals a season. becomes the best striker in the game by the time he is 20. play him along side torres they scored 90 goals between them in my 3rd season.

Luka Modric. Killer of a player. Signed him for 4.5M from Dinamo. And after just a season with Newcastle, he is now worth 10M. Scored an amazing 19 goals from midfield. Played him in the hole just behind the front two.

Again i haave to advise you all to buy this Wonderkid!!! already put him on the wonderkid section but just instead you missed him.

Name: Ever Banega
Age: 19
Position: DM/CM (best in DM breaking up play)
Club at start of game: Boca
Value: £850,000
Price Paid/Year Paid: £2,300,000/2007
Work permit needed?: yes but always succeeds on appeal!

always join your club for a top half prem league team, or if offered a big contract. round the 30-40 grand mark!
needs a run in the team but after about 5 games he starts to develop MASSIVELY!!!  
Best signing i ever made!!!

For a Coca-Cola League Two or One start.

I always buy :-

- Jack Compton (West Brom Reserves) AML - A simply wonderful player who creates loads of goals if u play him running from left midfield to attacking midfield and after a season or 2 attracts ALOT of premiership attention.
- Charlie Barnett (Liverpool Reserves) AMRC - Becomes a star worthy of top premiership football. Bags alot of goals and great @ free kicks. As above though attracts alot of attention from prem teams.
- Jordy Brouwer (Liverpool Reserves) ST - Get a good coach on board and this youngster will bag you loads of goals after 1 season in reserves.

Value: £4,100,000

My scout is of the opinion that Vela isn't far from having the required potential to be better than Ronaldinho.
