FM2011: Who will be the new stars?

And who will be downgraded?

Prediction:

Joe Hart will be made very good, possibly with one of the highest potentials.

Theo Walcott will be slightly better but not world class.

Gareth Bale will be great, at least PA170

Thomas Muller will be one to get

what else?

Rob greens concentration will be much lower

Arjen Robben will be upgraded in some areas.

Ozil may be upgraded, but he's already amazing as it is. Muller obviously will be amazing.

Agbonlahor needs to come down, or at least the impact of pace and acceleration needs to be lowered.

Hernandez. His Pace and Acceleration should be improved a lot, since he was the fastest player at the world cup.

Nani. Has improved his overall game a lot.

Rooney. His heading must be improved. He scored 7-8 goals in a row with his head last season. He has 10 heading in FM10 which is not right.

Brazilian Jo should be moved down a peg.

Out of interest, why do you think Jo should be downgraded?

I would imagine that boosts will be given to:

Joe Hart, Gareth Bale, James Milner, Adam Johnson, Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller, Sami Khedira, Bastien Schweinsteiger, Corey Evans, Mame Diouf, Sergio Busquets, Phil Jones, Andy Carroll and many others.

While some will drop:

Gareth Barry, Frank Ribery, Thierry Henry, William Gallas, Lucas, Martin Skrtl, etc.

While 2 in particular should be dropped, but won't... cough* Terry and Lampard *cough

While 2 in particular should be dropped, but won't... cough* Terry and Lampard *cough

Why? Lampard had one of his best seasons, goals and assists wise, and Terry had a solid season.

I will wait and see...

I don't like thinking about what will happen in FM11.

I want the element of surprise

I see no reason why Lampard and Terry should be downgraded. Like Sid said Lampard had a fantastic season and considering what happened to Terry last season he was very solid.

Expect there to be some more good unknown South Americans. You can see some that I think will get boosted in this thread http://www.fmchat.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/774-fm11-unknown-south-american-talent-guide/page__pid__15954#entry15954

OK, let me explain correctly.

Lampard's visible stats should remain. His "important matches" stat should be made 5 or 6, as he hasn't had a big game in a high stakes game for a good few years now, yet in the FM, he pops up in these.

Terry is too good anyway. His positioning should be downgraded, as he is often out of position, and his dirtiness should be upgraded as he is very very dirty. His passing should be dropped too, as he often under hits passes, back passes in particular.

Hernandez. His Pace and Acceleration should be improved a lot, since he was the fastest player at the world cup.

Nani. Has improved his overall game a lot.

Rooney. His heading must be improved. He scored 7-8 goals in a row with his head last season. He has 10 heading in FM10 which is not right.

Brazilian Jo should be moved down a peg.

If your basing it on one of those speed tests they are rubbish and researchers dont pay any attention to them

Out of interest, why do you think Jo should be downgraded?

Because he hasn't proved himself what so ever in the EPL. And in FM, he can be pretty devastating!

hoping to see what will become of verratti n canales considering that both of them have the most improved (as in CA to PA) stats for FM2010

Cesc Fabergas. He'll become a beast!

Hate the sort of threads, so much nonsense comes out of them

Hahaha say what?

Harry Novillo will probably be a -9.

Ty Clark should be upgraded to atleast -9 imho, has shown a lot of promise. Has a bright future ahead of him.

Thomas Muller will be one to get

IF you can get him. I don't think there's any way he's going to leave Bayern at the start of the game, but maybe after a few years.

Ty Clark should be upgraded to atleast -9 imho, has shown a lot of promise. Has a bright future ahead of him.

It's a shame, he has potential but he's incredibly injury prone and lazy

Forlan needs to be AMC/FC and better passing, creativity...

The entire England team?

Jordan Henderson should be -9 hopefully or even better.

Adam Johnson needs to be better drastically as well.

Some that haven't been mentioned that I'd like to see get improvements:

Jeffrey Bruma

Flo Malouda

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Gonzalo Higuain

Jerome Boateng

Paulo Henrique

Alejandro Dominguez

Gregory van der Wiel

Kieran Gibbs

David Luiz

Fabio Coentrao

Pedro Rodriguez

Sergio Busquets

Gerard Pique

upgraded

paul pogba

ravel morrison

javier hernandez

adam johnson

nani

chris smalling

marouane chamakh

jack rodwell

kieran gibbs

Most of the players that are listed in this thread already become superstars with the right training because their attributes have a very good distribution.

I've found the Chamakh is already pretty good on FM10.

martin kelly, pacheco, ayala in liverpool need boosts

Holger Badstuber

Eduardo (Portugal)

Mauricio Isla

All of them will probably get a boost.

It's a shame, he has potential but he's incredibly injury prone and lazy

Maybe in the past (6 years ago), but he has come along way this year.

Should atleast have a CA of 150. PA -9 or 170+.

downgraded:

robinho

anderson (man utd)

must be upgraded in term of personality and mental attributes: Ricardo Quaresma

The Swiss U-17 team should probably be upgraded, I haven't checked, but I presume they're carp at the moment.

Paulo Henrique Ganso from Santos. He is injured all the rest of the year, but in FM2011, he will be the most valuable player with Neymar.

j.hernandez hopefully . and gareth bale should be improved and his main position changed to AML ( IMO )

...gareth bale should be improved and his main position changed to AML ( IMO )

Really? I don't think he's ever played there tbh.

Paulo Henrique Ganso from Santos. He is injured all the rest of the year, but in FM2011, he will be the most valuable player with Neymar.

the most sensible comment so far, congratulations

Take this to GD please.

Really? I don't think he's ever played there tbh.

he's tottenham's 1st choice left winger......

i speak about italy: Abel Hernandez (Palermo), Felice Natalino (Inter), Khouma Babacar (Fiorentina), Coutinho (Inter)

Dave Nugent to be a goalscoring phenom

Gylfi Sigurdsson

Take this to GD please.

Please don't

rob greens concentration will be much lower

hahahahahahahahaha

very funny & true

Ouasim Bouy (Ajax)

and hopefully Marco Verratti will be just as awesome as he is in this version of FM.

I also think some of the attributes of average Premier League players are a bit inflated, whereas quality players in lower reputation leagues (Netherlands for instance) are underrated.

Rooney - Heading, Finishing, Creativity all high

Hernandez - Finishing, Pace, Determination..

Andre Ayew - Strength, Tackling, Dribbling, Determination, Bravery

Kwadwo Asamoah - Creativity, Strength, Dribbling,

Asamoah Gyan - Finishing, Strength, Determination, Penalty Taking (Seriously he did score 2 out of 3)

Rooney - Heading, Finishing, Creativity all high

Hernandez - Finishing, Pace, Determination..

Andre Ayew - Strength, Tackling, Dribbling, Determination, Bravery

Kwadwo Asamoah - Creativity, Strength, Dribbling,

Asamoah Gyan - Finishing, Strength, Determination, Penalty Taking (Seriously he did score 2 out of 3)

Really? He had more shots than anyone else in the tournament! It's his physicals that get him so many goals, his finishing is still poo.

he's tottenham's 1st choice left winger......

No he isn't, he plays left sided midfiled, not as an attacking midfileder left.
