Best CM/FM-player all time? And favorite player all time?

**diggler75** · 18-01-2013 23:31

Sigurðsson was sensational in FM2012. He'd score 10-15 40-yard screamers in a season.

Back in the day, I'd have to go for Moukoko. He was a goal machine. I think I used to play him in the hole behind the strikers in CM 97/98.

**Lord Rowell** · 18-01-2013 23:42

Cherno Samba

**smdw2008** · 19-01-2013 01:11

carlos tevez (CM 03/04). I always buy him from boca

**scott MUFC** · 19-01-2013 01:19

FM13 - Xavi - beast for me in CM
FM12 Hernandez/ dominque malonga

**Cycstorm** · 19-01-2013 05:24

No contest - Juan Roman Riquelme FM07 - FM10 Guy was lethal from 25 yards, always good for 20+ goals a season. He also basically scored every other DFK he ever took.

My personal favorite FM player was from FM07 when by 2012 Carlos Vela was the best striker in the world. Handy as I was playing Arsenal.

**themodelcitizen** · 19-01-2013 06:46

Advaldo from CM 03/04.

**99dolar** · 19-01-2013 07:25

Tijani Babangida (can't remember which one)

**razhel** · 19-01-2013 08:04

Maxim Tsigalko

**onur7** · 19-01-2013 08:17

Alessandro Melli from championship series (94-95 i think). he's one of the best goalscorer on this game for me.
and ronaldinho from fm 2010, the other magnificent goalscorer of the series.
steven gerrard from 2008, one of the best box to box midfielder of series with gattuso from cm01-02.

and my all time favorite players are Gerrard and Maldini..

**joestriker** · 19-01-2013 08:23

01/02 you could buy Ronaldinho, Kaka, Julius Agahowa, Javier Saviola, Aruna Babangida as kids and if you looked after them they were the best players out there.

generally Francesco Totti was great...

For LLM who can ever forget The Great Lord Jamie Victory

But the best player I ever played with was FREDDY ADU. I cannot remember which FM or CM it was, you could buy him when he was 13... and if you looked after him right, he would break into any first team at 17 and by 19 until 30 he would give you 11 years of pleasure! (that last bit didnt sound right)

**robterrace** · 19-01-2013 08:29

There was also Chucks Nwoko (think that was CM 97/98) who I seemed to sign every time, but I always went after Bakircioglu and Kallstrom as they could run my midfield for years.

Hehe, I remember those two. They were actually the guys coding the Amiga version and they were only in the Amiga version of the game. Collis a AM/F C and Orosco a D RC

**Wolvostoner** · 19-01-2013 12:01

Yann M'Vila.

Went over to Rennais to watch him IRL, was quality.

Won me and SRFC the first title ever, after I had given him the Captains armband.

Great stuff

**Snaflet** · 19-01-2013 13:26

Ronnie Pander. FM08. Dutch central midfielder extraordinaire. He shoots, he scores, he tackles, he gets sent off.
Francesco Flachi. FM08. Sign him for Crewe as a bargain not realising he can't play for a whole year. Have him hang around the club then propel us into the Premiership.
Daryl Murphy and Andrew Keogh. FM08.
Lauri Dalla Valle pre-Liverpool.

FM10 Andres Guardado for the novelty of being able to buy him for £4.5m rather than the £30m of the previous few years.

Fabio Paim CM4.

**Taunton** · 19-01-2013 14:12

Mark Burchill=legend.

And a regen called Massimiliano Melis. A striker in my Aston Villa team from FM06.He was a beast.

**Crb1986** · 19-01-2013 14:20

Ibrahim Bakayoko (97)

**sirgiorgio** · 19-01-2013 14:33

CM 97/98: Ajax had two amazing strikers: Froylán Ledezma and Benni McCarthy. You could sign them for free after the first season.

CM 99? or 00? Fausto Rossini (Atalanta).

CM 0-something: my two DC were John Terry and Nelson Akwari. They were rock solid: never injured, rarely booked, I had to sell my other DCs because of them.

Also CM 0-something: Barcelona had three world class wingers: Haruna Babangida, Jofre (?) and Jeffren (?). You could buy them for peanuts.

FM 2005 (after the second patch). Ibrahimovic scored for fun. My tactic was: DEFEND! and give ball to Zlatan...

FM 09: Pavel Pogrebnjak.

Worst players: Trezeguet. He is my idol, but in the game he was useless, probably because he wasn't a target man, he wasn't a a fast striker and he wasn't a poacher (not in the way a poacher is interpreted by the ME). Also, Beckahm was quite disappointing, probably because he was too slow to play on the wing.

My favourite has to be Oscar Cardozo: left footed (just like me

), tall, strong, great set pieces taker... The most "complete" complete forward.

**Veg1ta** · 19-01-2013 14:48

Rivaldo from 97/98 there is no equal

**sirgiorgio** · 19-01-2013 15:12

He was a pain in the ...

He and Figo complained every time I didn't choose them for the starting 11. Even when they were recovering from an injury. Just like IRL, to be honest...

**MichaelBrown** · 19-01-2013 15:37

Has to be Messi.

**ptl93** · 19-01-2013 16:37

Kennedy Bakircioglu - CM0102. Amazing!

**shnen** · 19-01-2013 16:50

okaka, fm07. a hero

**Jibby123** · 19-01-2013 17:07

Might have already been mentioned because he was well known in-game (and this is an old thread and I've not checked) but David Collins for me. A young ST/AM(C) who got 60 plus goals per season for me regularly on an old version.

Chris Hope as well. Could play pretty much 8-9 positions.

**Tubey84** · 19-01-2013 18:25

Probably Giacomo Beretta. He went utterly berserk on one save for me, scoring pretty much every game for about six years.

Made Robin Van Persie look rubbish by comparison.

**VonBlade** · 19-01-2013 18:28

Is, was, and always will be Nii Lamptey.

**SnUrF** · 19-01-2013 18:55

Webo, think it was fm09 or fm10. Brilliant in my QPR, scoring here there everywhere.

-SnUrF

**j88_ftm** · 19-01-2013 20:53

Mads Jorgensen on CM99-00. He could be signed for around £1m if you got in at the start, and he was a creative machine. One of my best ever sides was Inter on that version of the game; he was my right winger and finished one season with 33 assists for a 38 game season. I think the runner up for assists that year had about 8. Incredible.

**RobertPage** · 19-01-2013 21:16

Mathiaz Fernandez. He was cheap, and had real quality and i always used to sign him first in either 08 or 10 (think it was 10)

**av3ry** · 19-01-2013 22:30

Matjaz Novak. Slovenian regen I had on CM03/04. Real players, no idea. Robbie Keane or Julius Aghahowa maybe?

**Casual** · 19-01-2013 23:17

CM 01/02 - MAXIM TSIGALKO, JULIUS AGHAHOWA, ISAAC OKORONKWO

Later versions - LEBOHANG MOKOENA, SERGEY KISLIY, HUMBERTO SUAZO...

**soldierblue123** · 19-01-2013 23:22

CM1: Mark Collis was awesome

**JojoVillaHursty** · 19-01-2013 23:39

I don't really have a single player more partnerships

Fm 05- Peter Whittingham and Thomas Hitzlsperger I still haven't had been able to get a central midfield partnership like them won me the Champions league.
Also Martin Laursen and Olof Melberg the best defence I have ever had on a Fm game
Fm 06- Martin Laursen, Olof Melberg and Juan Pablo Angel
Fm 07- Petrov and Reo-Coker

no one else has really been worth putting into this list until this game which is at the moment.

Fm 13- Delph, Gardner and Wilfried

**jdpalacha** · 25-03-2013 08:46

CM 00/01 - Alan Smith; Alan Smith + Michael Owen = Win (if you can team em both)
CM 01/02 - Maxim Tsigalko; 4-3-2-1 tactic + Tsigalko at the top = Win
CM 4 and 03/04 - Anatoli Todorov (the greatest striker by far); Georgi Kakalov, Jonathan Soriano and Mido (they are good, but cant compare with Todorov), Saviola+Todorov at CM4 makes your team unbeatable (your team scores 5+ goals all the time); Oskitz Estefania (my fav midfielder); Philippe Mexes (def) and Sebastian Frey (GK)
They are visible from all countries with small database and almost cost no money ;x :d I dont know why Anatoli Todorov its not anyones choice for CM4 series :c He is just so OP... Like Tsigalko at 01/02 :d
Anatoli Todorov - damn wasted talent like Valeri Bojinov irl...

**Old Hand** · 25-03-2013 10:43

Cherno Samba - from around 2000. At age 16 he kept Shevchenko out of my AC Milan starting 11!

Robbie Keane - 98/99? Bought from Wolves or Coventry, played behind the front 2 he scored 50 - 60 a season every time. In 2 player mode we banned his purchase!

Tommy Svindal Larsson - CM 2 I think, in the age of super cheap world class scandinavians!

Maxi Lopez - 01/02? My mate bought him for Barca in our 2 player La Liga game and he scored about 60 a season. I hated him.

Kennedy Bakirçioglo (something like that). Absolute legend in 99/00 I think it was.

Ah, such happy memories!

**underwater sunlight** · 25-03-2013 10:46

Mark Kerr, Taribo West, Mike Duff, Cherno Samba, Kennedy Bakircioglu - always went for these 5 on CM01/02. the core of a world class team and were dirt cheap. If i had the money i'd go for Tevez, Aghahowa, Ronaldinho too

**underwater sunlight** · 25-03-2013 10:48

i think it might have been CM99/00 but my mate found a scandinavian player (almost certain he was swedish) called Max Jerry Mansson. FRC who done brilliantly in the SPL, not quite premiership level but he would do a job

**ajcardall** · 25-03-2013 11:45

I can't remember which iteration of the game it was, but it was definitely in the "Champ Manager" era, I always used to sign Shane Tolley from Shrewsbury (I think?). I once had him and Jermaine Defoe as my front two for Barcelona.

**stevemc** · 25-03-2013 11:55

CM98/99: Thomas Gravesen.

**FMtillidie** · 25-03-2013 11:57

Willy topp.

**30.Beast** · 25-03-2013 12:15

Seriously!? Why?

As for Wilfried he is quality in the game and IRL. Utter tank. He has a relatively humble PA, but as an all-round forward one of the best. What are your experiences with him?

**frog-kvfb** · 25-03-2013 13:54

has to be mika aarialto (sp) i forget which fm it was but he could be picked up for peanuts

**McFall1984** · 25-03-2013 13:56

were do i stat
all cm01-02

chiotis
N'Diaye - mexes - chivu

hersi - kerr - van der vaart - agahowa

skalidis - papadopolous

that was my wonder team

all - 20's bar chiotis who is 25 but once he hits 28 he's by far the best keeper

all these are with the .68 patch

**kingjericho** · 25-03-2013 17:34

some of my favorites:
Guillermo Ochoa (FM09/10)
Falcao (FM08)
Oscar Cardozo (FM10)

**mexamoxa** · 25-03-2013 18:01

gk's: chiotis, frey, isaksson
defenders: taribo west, lizarazu
midfielders: mark kerr, bakircioglu, kallstrom, braaten
strikers: cantona, fowler, peter prospar, robbie keane, tsigalko, tó madeira, sigporsson

and the one and only, the best cheat player+tactic rofl mode, OSKARSSON LOLOL

**scott MUFC** · 25-03-2013 19:49

FM12, Javier Hernandez
FM13 papadopolous, completely insane stats makes solid defender

**steff** · 25-03-2013 20:03

Marcelo Salas and Rodrigo Barrera both from Universidad de Chile, can't remember which version but I think it was CM2.

**Davey Boy** · 25-03-2013 20:54

Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, Ian Rush and Steve McManaman

**tommonufc** · 25-03-2013 21:32

FM13:Adam Campbell

Can't remember what version, but Freddy Guarin.

Marcelo, Aourca, Rafinha, Sherman Cárdenas too.

**Marius_R** · 26-03-2013 19:29

FM 2005 - Adriano. Absolute beast.

**danny_123** · 27-03-2013 00:09

dzeko- fm 10 scored about 50 a season for 9 seasons in a row then when i was thinking of replacing him he hit 70 goals in one season ohhh back in the days when this game was so easy

**lennon67** · 27-03-2013 00:44

Not sure what versions these were on but they were on different ones but I used to always sign Vitali Kutuzov and Raul Garcia who I always remember I sold to Real Madrid for 65 million lol.

**Sussex Hammer** · 27-03-2013 01:39

Always have fond memories of my best ever strike partnership. Antoly Todorov and Evandro Roncatto were the bees knees some years ago and I may be wrong but I don't think Todorov even existed IRL!!!

**soccer.joel** · 27-03-2013 04:27

Probably Stevan Jovetic

I think it was that version.

Back in the day when you could only choose England or Scotland (and if you chose Scotland, you got pretty much a different database of players to sign) - i chose to manage Falkirk.

I had Miguel Mercado from Bolivar who was awesome - 40-50 goals a year.

Backed up by Ivan Dobrovolski on the left wing and Viktor Leonenko!

**Zeonflux** · 27-03-2013 14:14

It would have to be a Regen i had on FM11 i brought him from Palermo at 19 and had him tutored by Vidic in my United team.

He was labelled as the next Franco Baresi, he was 6ft8" and about 15 stone something, he came to me with Heading, Jumping and Strength 18, Tackling 17, Marking 16, Composure and Concentration 15

After a year of tutoring with Vidic, i used him as Vidic's replacement after Vidic broke his ankle..........Vidic never started another meaningful match for me.

The lad had become a beast Heading, Jumping, Strength and Tackling 20, Concentration and Marking 19 and Composure 17 plus most of his other mental stats were either 15 or over. Just wished he was faster at pace and acceleration than 12.

I used to stick him on the back post from corners and he's smash in about 15 a season in all competitions

**Ike013** · 27-03-2013 14:54

Kim Källstrom & Kennedy Bakirgioclu in the old CM's

**oguzcan11** · 27-03-2013 15:04

FM 06- andrea gasbarroni

**emjaydee** · 27-03-2013 15:39

Charles-Andre Doudin (Neuchatal Xamax) 06 or 07. Lethal in the Championship for Watford!

**Sussex Hammer** · 27-03-2013 15:42

Slightly better in FM me thinks!!!

**Oldschool92** · 27-03-2013 15:44

In 01 I liked Sheffield Wednesday and speed and dribbling were great stats. Tijjani Babangida was an awesome free transfer. Next one I played in 03/04 it was speed and technique and Daniel Brathen was my hero. Think the game mispelled his name but I didn't care.

**Harima83** · 27-03-2013 15:45

Ryan Giggs CM3. He scored at least 30 goals each year.
