big_bob Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Remembering the players that had high potential given by the game and performed well in the CM/FM series but failed and were mediocre players IRL. In CM 01/02: - Maxim Tsigalko (Belarus). One of the best promissing strikers of that edition - Julius Agahowa (Nigeria) - Cherno Samba (Gambia). Legend In FM05: - Junior Khanye (South Africa). Was a very young promissing left winger with amazing dribling skills. - Kerlon (Brasil). What a waste. - Evandro Roncatto (Brasil). During 2003, he won the FIFA U-17 World Championship with Brazil. He was elected the 2nd best player (FIFA Silver Ball), losing the 1st place to Cesc Fàbregas. Now he plays in Cyprus. In FM06: - Sherman Cardenas (Colombia) So what other players from the past CM/FM fit into this category? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP40 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Sherman Cardenas Legend. ... Mark Kerr ...03/04 Orry Freir Oskarsson I've just signed Mark Kerr on a free in FM11 with Mansfield (League One) and i'm hoping he will play even a quarter of how he did in 01/02. Oskarsson was pure gold. CM4 - Daniel Braathen (Daniel Braaten in game). Was great on the game and I think he had a loan spell at Fulham or somewhere but he never amounted to much. Who was the 16 year old right back in the early FM's?? I forget his name, he was great too but a pain in the ass at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie MUFC Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 +1 for Freddy Adu. I remember for a couple of years FM players swearing he'll be the next Ronaldo, and that it was only a matter of time before one of the top 4 Premiership clubs snapped him up and turned him into a megastar. Never happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DivineOne Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I believe it's a bit early to judge Adu tbh, he's still only 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I believe it's a bit early to judge Adu tbh, he's still only 22. But he's struggling to even find a club who will take him at the moment. I think it is pretty safe to say he is the not the player everyone thought he was back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grecian_03 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Adu's problem was that he chose to go down the MLS route. By the time he went to Benfica he hadn't progressed as much as he could have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker2 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Lebohang Mokoena I had him up front and Benedict Vilakazi at AMC (with FWR) behind him. Mokoena was an insatiable finisher, Vilakazi an unstoppable dribbler, with inch-perfect passing. A perfect pairing. In every FM since, I always scout South Africa in the vain hope that I'll dredge up someone half as good. Still waiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
