macca72 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Ok, so the title might be a bit over the top, but I had to write about this guy... He starts the game at Grasshoppers in the Swiss Super League, he has a host of clubs looking at him and I found him on the transfer list, with an asking price of £1.25m. I was looking for someone who could play a DLP role in centre midfield and defensive midfield, and thought he'd fit the bill. I signed him for my Leeds side, and this is him at the start of Season 2. He lacks in a couple of areas, but I'd venture he's at least good enough for mid table Premier League, maybe a squad player for teams in the top 8, and was outstanding in the Championship.

Ty Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Fellaini - 6ft 4, strong aerial presence with an afro. This guy is 5ft 8, no aerial ability and no afro. Your thread title is misleading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajj 7 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Xabi Alonso might be a better comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca72 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I chose Fellaini on the basis that if you go into Abrashi's profile and select find similar players, Fellaini comes up as a comparison. If only player interaction would let me say "can you grow an afro please"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelBrown Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Never heard of him, so good find. For 1.25m you really can't complain. Even if he isn't good enough at the top level in the prem, he has definite re-sale value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
london boy Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 looks like a solid, all-round midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainlayzee Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Comparing him to Fellaini is like comparing Luis Saurez to Morgan Freeman.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca72 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Comparing him to Fellaini is like comparing Luis Saurez to Morgan Freeman....

Plainlayzee Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I see your username applies equally to reading...Fellaini was the top match when you select find similar players... No I can read just fine thanks, I see however that your 'comparisons' aren't exactly accurate. To claim that this guy who is about half the size and has half the stats of Fellaini is bordering on stupidity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 That's enough .... The comparison was made using the in game tools and it doesn't take a genius to see why.... The guy can pass, tackle, good first touch and has good work rate etc, it's clear to see why the game compares him to Fellaini. His size is a moot point. Plainlazy, i see you already have an infraction, i'd kindly suggest that going off topic here for no reason other than to throw fuel on a fire is the only thing bordering on stupidity on this thread.... now keep it on topic please.

macca72 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Quick update on him, I sold him during January 15, simply because I managed to sign M'Vila for my DMC slot, also I grew too fond of him to let him waste away. Zenit paid £5m for him, but look at his value now, so for the £1.25m I invested I got the following back All in all, would 100% recommend him, I'll maybe keep him longer next time and will keep an eye on him for FM14. Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
