Walter - Another Brazilian Wonderkid.

He was the top scorer at the recent South American u20 competition.

Has anyone signed him in the game and seen him progress over a few seasons?

He plays for Internacional in Brazil, i don't have a screen shot.

Here's how he looks on my save;

He was excellent on FM08 I have not had any experience of him on FM09 however.

Yes I have re-opened this thread, please in future provide screenshots and as much information as possible for these sort of threads.

He's a good player but there are better brazilians, like Wagner (?) form Cruzeiro

He was definitely brilliant on 08 - so good in fact that I snatched him up for my England team once he was eligable! Top scorer at my first World Cup. Which I won.

Haven't played with him on 09, thought about buying him but found another good striker somewhere else in Brazil

He looks pretty average.

He doesn't look to have developed much in that screenshot

Awesome player banging in the goals.

looks like he scores goals havent played with him though

Signed him on my Celtic save in the first season for £4m, he was pretty good although could go for 9-10 games without scoring. Ended up selling him in my 3rd season to Benfica for £12m, can't say i really missed him when he was gone

Thats him on my missus game, all the staff say he has the potential to be as good as Adebayor. She sold Eduardo for £20 million and was looking for a replacement bit expensive but Arsenal have tonnes of cash.

Just bought this guy for €26m and he seems very good. I already have Laurito, Milevsky and Nilmar. He hasn't scored so far though.

great in real life, my experience with him atleast from his first two seasons-he sucks.

low composure combined with shoots with power 0=3 goals in 30 appearances at championship level, he was great gettring into position then just blasted straight into the keepers hands.

Dentinho tho well known, is much better for the same price and develops better

Walter at the moment on my save [2012];

Sadly he gets injured every few months and is out for a few weeks or months, but when he's fit he's an absolute beast for me. I wish I had got him tutored though by someone who has placed shots, can't get him to learn any PPM's because he's too determined.

Plus the big injuries have stunted his development a little bit, in three more seasons he will have very good stats for me.

Hopey, sorry to defer from the subject of Walter for a second, and by all means divert me to a different thread. I've got a relatively young squad and we're doing really well, but I haven't given the teaching moves bit any thought. Would you say it's worth it on the whole?

Barely related but I'll answer you.

It depends, if certain PPM's help the player or your style of play then yes it's beneficial, however too many PPM's or ones that hinder a players style or your style will have a negative effect.

I’ll give you an example, when I was at Lyon I had Benzema who had all the attributes to be a great striker yet didn’t convert that many chances. So I got him to learn “place shots” and with my style of play and his attributes he went from being a 10-15 goal striker to a 25-30+ goal striker (I played him in a lone man role throughout)

Hope that helps, if only a little bit.

Nice one, might try and iron out a flaw in Altidore.

In real life he has just gotten seriously injured and won't play for 6-8 months...

poor walter, not an ACL injury I hope, he is hyped as a Ronaldo type striker it would be a shame if he gets the same injurys as El PHENOMENON

Another success story in PPMs

Dentinho went from a one goal every three games striker into atleast a goal a game striker for me once he learned how to round the keeper so I think if you have a PPM that matches the player it can work out really well. Walter needs to learn not to shoot with power but he's too stubborn to unlearn it o well to me he is a great prospect IRL but in game a hopless case
