el sid Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Juan Ángel Albín In Real Life: Juan Ángel Albín Leites is an Uruguayan footballer who plays for Getafe CF in the Spanish first division, mainly as a supporting striker. Born in Salto, Salto Department, Albín started his career at Club Nacional de Football in Montevideo, where he won three national titles. His strong performances won him a transfer to Getafe CF during the 2006 summer transfer window. In his first season, Albín appeared sparingly (13 games), but blossomed as first-choice in 2007–08, as the Madrid outskirts team reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup, and a mid-table league position. After a coaching change brought Míchel to the club's bench, however, he began appearing less regularly. In Football Manager 2011: General Info Name: Juan Ángel Albín Leites DOB: July 17, 1986 Nationality: Uruguay Place of Birth: Salto, Uruguay International Record: 14 youth caps, 7 youth goals Languages Spoken: Spanish Club: Getafe CF (Liga BBVA) Value: £1.9 million Wage: £12, 000 per week Contracted Upto: 30.6.2011 Minimum fee release clause: £21.5 million Description: Flamboyant Midfielder Personality: Balanced Reputation: National Media-Handling Style: Media Friendly Positions: Attacking Midfielder (Center) – Natural Attacking Midfielder (Left) – Accomplished Striker – Accomplished Midfielder (Left) – Competent Attacking Midfielder (Right) – Unconvincing Feet: Left Foot – Very Strong Right Foot – Very Weak PPMs • Moves into Channels • Avoids using weaker foot Initial Profile After two seasons As you can see, he’s the creative force of my title winning Dortmund team. He goes on amazing dribbles from midfield, beating, at times, half the opposition before putting my striker through. Also has a decent finish inside the box and is a threat outside as well. A spectacular player I would recommend to anyone. Tactical Help This would be my recommended setup for Albin, playing at AMC Which teams should sign him? Any team in the top leagues looking for a cheap creative playmaker for the creative spark What should I pay? £2.4 – 2.8 million transfer fee at the start of the game Wages of around £15, 000 – 17, 000 per week Your scout will recommend not signing him as he would fail his work permit application, but he will become an EU national soon, as his status is ‘awaiting paperwork’ for Spanish nationality. I do not know his CA/PA but I do not think they will be very high because of his one-footedness. Final suggestions: • I would recommend playing him behind a fast striker with decent off the ball and anticipation, who can combine well with him and anticipate his through balls. • He is best when he has multiple passing options, so the formations that suit him best are the one that have two upfront, or one forward with wingers acting as inside forwards. • He is also a very able set piece taker. A good choice for your corner taker and will also score a few goals every season from direct free kicks. • Do not ask him to unlearn ‘Avoids using weaker foot’ as this might lead to misplaced shots and poor passes off his weak right foot. • Buy him.

Sheva Elite Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 He was immense for my Milan side. I definitely think he is better on the wing though. With the pace and one-footedness. I like my AMCs to have at least 17 passing if possible as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my AMCs to have at least 17 passing if possible as well. I did try him in the wings at first, but found him more effective in the hole. Could be because of the type of lone forward I've though, he's not very good at heading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
