Dániel Böde (born 24 October 1986 in Szekszárd) is a Hungarian football player who currently plays for Ferencvárosi TC.



Böde was born in Szekszárd, Tolna County and it was obvious that he would play for the local neighbouring club Paksi SE. On 16 September 2006, Böde played his first Hungarian League match against Diósgyőri VTK which was won by his club by 2-1. He scored 49 goals in 161 matches wearing the shirt of his club.



In 2011 Böde played a major role in Paks's international success in the Europa League 2011-12 season. Böde played his first international match in Andorra where Paks beat UE Santa Coloma 1–0. The only goal of the match came in the 14th minute when Gábor Vayer scored.At home Paks debuted with a four-goal win in Videoton FC's stadium, the Sóstói Stadion. József Magasföldi scored twice, one in each half. Dániel Böde and Norbert Heffler also contributed to the final result.



In the second round Böde's Paks faced the Norwegian Tromsø IL at home in front of 1,800 spectators, again in the Sóstói Stadion, in Székesfehérvár. The first goal of the match was scored by Magnus Andersen, with an equaliser from Hungarian Gábor Vayer. The match finished 1–1. In the second leg in Norway at the Alfheim Stadion Tamás Kiss scored to give Paks the lead in the 59th minute. Two more goals were scored by Dániel Böde and again Tamás Kiss on the night gave Paks a 4-1 aggregate win overTromso IL.



In the third round Paks were drawn against Scottish club Hearts. In the first leg in Hungary, Paks took the lead in the 32nd minute with a stunning lobbed goal by István Sipeki. In stoppage time at the end of the first half, Finnish referee Mattias Gestranius awarded Hearts a soft penalty, which was scored by Jamie Hamill to equalise and end the scoring on the night at the Sóstói Stadion.



Ferencváros

In the summer of 2012 Dániel Böde was approached by the Hungarian giant club Ferencvárosi TC and he was offered a three-year contract. In his first season with his new club, he scored 17 goals in 30 matches, and was the second top goal-scorer, after Coulibaly, and showed a perfect performance.



In 14 September 2013, he extended his contract with Ferencváros until 30 June 2016.

In Game



In Fm16, I think Bode is something of a bargain. He has all the right stats to be a perfect budget Targetman for almost any team in the championship up. At 6'3, and with 17 strength, 17 jumping reach and 16 heading, there aren't many defenders who will be able to deal with him. His 15 finishing, agility, balance and mental strengths also make him perfect for a loan striker role up front. The only place he's lacking is perhaps pace and technique, but get him the ball and he knows where to stick it.

To buy him takes just £600k or so, and i'm yet to find a better striker at that price for Championship teams and lower Premiership sides. He has got into double figures for goals scored in almost every season he has played, I can't begin to wonder why a bigger side hasn't taken a chance on him yet....

Snap him up!
