continentalmanager3 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Have FM unearthed a future star for Argentina? His stats speak for themselves. His technichal attributes are top notch, it's just a shame that his determination doesn't match the rest of his well developed mental attributes. He's not particularly strong or quick, but with a high work rate and team work ethic, good composure, flair, anticipation, heading, finishing, technique and dribbling all at the ripe old age of 20...this guy could go onto be an FM great! I picked him up for £1.5 million but he can be got for under £1 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 He has had a massive over haul from FM09, he we was great on there, but obviously he has impressed a researcher to come back to the FM series looking like that! Can he still be picked up for less than £1m, or do we have to fork out this year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 he's certainly great in the demo... but dont be too hasty.. he had random stats in fm09 and i suspect he does in this one too.... sometimes he has amazing technicals like in the demo.. but sometimes he has the stats spread out a lot more and doesnt seem so great.... either way he is a great buy for anything from league 1 upwards and has a lot of potential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13xForever Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 nope stats are exactly the same as the OP post and hes even willing to join Newcastle for 875k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 sigh.. stats are the same as your demo is essentially a saved game.. everyone will have the same stats as the op... when you get the full game however it will be a different story Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braundjoh Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I just signed him for £800k for Southampton And Welshace, you'll just have to wait and see. You're probably right, but then there is a chance that he will be good anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshace Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 yeah i take it your not using the english quick save then? each quicksave is literally just a new game which has been loaded and then saved so stats will always be different in each one and yeah.. of course he will be a good player... my point was jsut that dont expect him to have such great technicals etc in the full game each save.. just as the screenie above shows heres a few of him in 09 just to illustrate: http://media.photobucket.com/image/jon%20cristaldo%20fm09/ThoraxUK/crista.png http://www.nairaland.com/attachments/144900_cristaldo_jpgc6f624bd1a7b1cd068c63f8432fcbdd8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braundjoh Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I was agreeing with you Welshace, but was saying that sometimes you will be able to get him that good, and so it is worth keeping a look out each time. He got injured before my first match, and is out for 6 weeks But at least I won anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iselilja Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Looked good on the first screenshot, but nothing i would be worried about if he was playing against me. The fact that he is slow, weak and and not good at jumping means that he can be taken out of the game easily by a decent defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiggyDempsey Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Was thinking that welshace, what I'm saying is that SI have his stats as random and not set so I doubt they have looked much at the player or think he wont be a potential superstar IRL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ahh.. i jumped to a conclusion to early what a noob! Very lucky PA then in the english quick start save i must say! But i would prefer him with more pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sorry if this is a bit off topic Hopey, i just got to know are there alot of peoples attributes that are going to look alot different in the full game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Abit of a vague question? However I'm sure there are players who will be different on the full FM release, you will have to wait and see. Especially those who have 'blanket' random stats, they will look different come the full release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean3h Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Would love to know how you got a permit for him, couldn't get one as Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sorry, was a bit of a dumb question really. What i meant was, I take it there is alot of people like Cristaldo in the demo, who look absolutely amazing, but are going to have random stats in everyone elses game in the full release. So there isn't really much point looking for 'gems' at the moment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisandro Lopez Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Short answer to that is yes, if a player has random stats (i.e. his stats are full of 0's) then he may look good in the demo due to these being based on saves. But in the full game he will be alot more random for everyone. Perhaps Cristaldo comes under that branch, perhaps not. Time will tell, but yes if I were people I would use the demo to adjust to FM and the tactical structure, possible targets etc. I wouldn't use it for 'gem' research just yet.

continentalmanager3 Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Would love to know how you got a permit for him, couldn't get one as Arsenal.

Welshace Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 just to add to whats been said ... cristaldo will always be a 'gem' tbh.. his spread of stats might not be as impressive as the OP but he'll still have the same sort of potential and will be a star in most games. .. and of course this will apply to most other young starlets you find in the demo...

Ty Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Got a work permit for City. On appeal So it shouldnt really be that hard to get one. Im going too see how low he will go in leagues, unless someone wants to save me some time and tell me, would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TonyVain- Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Got him on appeal for United aswell. Cost £875k. Looks like he could be good if his physical stats improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Definitely random stats, looks average in my game too. I'd take a guess at a -9 because in the OP's screenie he looks amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coen Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Looks like in FM10 he's obtainable for my future Leeds side for about 800k, and for league 1 he's got to be worth a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he still does, he looks almost unchanged from last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackripper Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 i bought him for united and let him play all my freindlies and scored 8 in 6 so very good never heard of him before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coen Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 He does look the same as last year, i.e. some degree of random stats. I remember people raving about him in FM09 but I bought him a few times for my Leeds team and he never turned out better than a decent Championship/lower Prem striker, but others seemed to have much better luck with him.

cmd1989 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I bought him on my Sunderland game, he scored in the first league game but didn't score in the next 3, but 2 of those games were against Man U and Liverpool and I only brought him on in the 65th minute so maybe i'm expecting too much?

mufcmadman Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 have him in my newcastle save, brought him in mid-season 1st year he scored 9 in 19 as a defensive forward on attack in my 4-1-2-2-1, start of second season trying to play him as an advanced forward to get better ratings, 6.5 in first season. anyone else have any ideas how to make him tick.

fonzie Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 He underperformed for me in Southhampton aswell - League 1 mind you.. a couple of goals in 15 matches and a ridiculous 6,5 avg. rating. Does he have low/random adaptability perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougess Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Got him coming to me in January for £1.2 million. Will probably have to loan him out due to registration issues, but reckon he could be a decent backup. Guaranteed profit from him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasu Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Cristaldo ranges from brilliant to mediocre by game. Once he was 16-17 in every stat that mattered at age 21. In another game he was barely decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

killface Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It is because he has random stats, and a random PA. He has a random left foot stat, which significantly raises and lowers his stats depending on what it is. So no matter what the stats look like, he should still be able to perform.

Afactor4 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 what role do you guys plays him as, cuz i have no luck with playing him as a complete CF? Going by RandallUK's screenshot. You could play him as a poacher, though it would limit his game. Finishing Dribbling First Touch Anticipation Acceleration Pace Balance Agility only his off ball movement is a slight letdown for a poacher at 12, otherwise, everything else seems to be pretty good.
