South American Production Line - 'Not Brought To You By Third Party Owners'

I always search for those elusive Duel Nationality Brazilian maestro's I can bring to a Championship team for some flair..... I love them.

Anyone found any yet?

Ok, so not strictly in south america anymore, but still, one of the best cheap strikers around, if WP's aren't an issue that is...

Name : Robin Ramirez

Age : 24

Position : ST

Club : Deportivo Cali

Nationality : Paraguay

Sale Value : £100k .. he's only just moved so might need some tempting to go..

Name : Jonathan Rodriguez

Age : 21

Sale Value: not sure.. probably around £4millon?

Oooooh, I really like the look of Rodriguez welsh..

What you got loaded to get him? All SA?

Yep, he reminds me of another Jon ... Cristaldo from years gone by.

Yeah, got a massive database running.. you know I love all those gems hidden away..

For south america it's : all players in top league

all players of national rep

But I have all brazilians/argentinians and uruguayans loaded besides.

( just wanted to cut out the unwanted millions of bolivians with 1 stats across the board )

Here's one of those rare Brazilian dual nationality players who are easier to get for us UK based managers..

I don't think Tagliafico's picture is quite right?

Not that I'm complaining

L Olaza - DL - River URU - 900k - 6k per week - >Kolarov (recommend highly)

Noguera - DC - Banfield - 3.7m - 3.6k per week - Mangala/Kompany (recommend)

Samir - DC - Flamengo - 8m - 10k per week - Kompany (better than Balanta imo)

Kranevitter - DM - River - 5.25m - 11.5k per week - rated highly

note: you will need to load south americans for all except Carillo, GG Romero and Kranevitter

L Olaza gets capped QUICKLY (had 5 caps by Jan 2015 in my save) so should get a WP, am considering on the full game (shame about his loan to At Para)

edit: apologies on completely disregarding the template, and the lack of screenies, but you can check them out (future talents, or maybe profit makers)

I personally am looking forward to signing up Bravo, GG Romero, Kranevitter and L Romero for under 20m combined and have my centre mids set for the next 15 years

I sometimes struggle to get the SA imports to bed properly into my team...most frustrating, but highly like real life tbh!

Elkeson - striker plays in China I think. Has awesome stats and costs 5m or less ...

This is more like it! My teams are usually littered with cheap, technical imports from South America and Eastern Europe. Someone not mentioned who's well worth a look is Nacional's Gaston Pereiro; looks a classy young playmaker. Gonzalo Martinez, playing for Huracan in Argentina's 2nd tier looks a good young left winger and Joaquin Arzura of Tigre is a decent (if slightly less talented) alternative to GG Romero/Kranevitter. Sorry - can't provide any screenshots atm as i'm (sadly) at work...

Luciano Acosta is great talent doing very well for my Boca side.

Name: Guido Vadala

Age:17

Position: AMC

Club: Boca

Nationality: Argentinian

Value: 400k

Sale Value: ?

Guardian piece about young players has him listed with a video link;

Piris from Rubio Nu is a wonderful find samdiatmh! Got him for Grasshoppers, wages just 575k. Wonderful anchor man stats and so cheap, paid 60k + 25% of next transfer fee(yeah I know, but finances are extremely tight at Grasshoppers this time around : / ) <3

happy to help

I always load up South America, gotta love me a prem-winning quality team for under 50m

and the other nations (ie not Brazil and Argentina) are always filled with decent talent (or the hidden gems)

Considering my challenge for every FM is starting with a blank canvas (normally I give myself some players, but pondering just nothing for FM15) and letting me loose with a massive budget

Teofilo Gutierrez (River?) is a solid all-round prem striker

complained about a lack of something initially (ambition or regular games), so got him on the cheap

edit: but he did go on a scoreless run for me and got "worst prem signing of the season", so yeah.... maybe not

Would love to hear from someone who are doing the whole thorough scouting of South America thing if there are more young, cheap players with high potential like Piris to be found. A lot of the players mentioned here are, even though reasonable relative to their quality, not an option for a lot of teams.

Oh they're good enough, just often too expensive for a smallish team from the start. As mentioned, Robert Piris has had several good seasons for me by now.

The last one you've found here: Wow! Will be tested for sure.

If you're after bargain bin South Americans, i've downloaded a Paraguayan league add-on from the Steam workshop so can heartily recommend a few who've been tearing up trees for my Cerro Porteno side:

Ruidiaz's Universitario teammates Christofer Gonzales and Edison Flores are quality budget options - paid £300k for Gonzales and he's a real classy, old-fashioned South American no.10; his performances are attracting interest from the likes of Ajax and both Milan clubs currently for me. Flores has just joined following an abortive spell with Villarreal's B team so isn't quite so easily snared at the start of the game but is open to moves from January 2015 onwards. Elsewhere in Peru, Christian Ramos has been a good buy at centre-back for a few years now whilst Paulo Albarracín is quality holding midfielder for the price. Left-back Yoshimar Yotún is a handy attacking left-back and clubmate Irven Ávila is a short, stocky striker who should be able to score goals anywhere in South America or in any of Europe's mid-ranking leagues.

In Ecuador, Fernando Gaibor and especially, Junior Sornoza are well worth a look, whereas attacking midfielders Nicolás Albarracín and Gastón Rodríguez along with left back Maximiliano Olivera are all good, affordable options from Uruguay's Montevideo Wanderers.

In Paraguay, frustratingly, there are fewer options but Silvio Torales of Nacional (PAR) has been excellent setting my midfield tempo and the performances of young centre-back Danilo Ortiz have justified the high esteem he's held in by my coaching staff. Must confess, though...the major reason I was interested in a Paraguay save was my decision to add 15 year-old sensation Sergio Díaz to the database. He's essentially South America's answer to Martin Odegaard - think i'm right in saying he's bagged 8 goals from 19 appearances IRL and has been hailed as the 'Paraguayan Aguero...'

Apologies for the lack of screenshots (sadly, i'll not have access to my laptop for the next few days) but hopefully whilst not world-beaters, at least 1 or 2 of these suggestions will be helpful to someone.

You're missing the little wonderkid Kenedy from Fluminense. He makes a great False Nine.

I managed to get him on a 12-month loan first season for free (no wages) and he was immense, coming second in the Championship top scorers with 26.

Only problem is, his value is often quite high. They want around £14M for me to make the move permanent. He is fantastic if you want a free loan deal though.
