FM10: Alexis Sánchez

Player profile

Good pace, dribbling, technique and workrate but short on finishing and compsure. Is this one of the hottest prospects in Italian football?

Facts:

Alexis Alejandro Sánchez Sánchez is a Chilean forward playing for Udinese. He is known as "El Niño Maravilla" (the Wonder Boy).

would have o improve his finishing to be worth signing in premiership imo

Or play him on left wing as an inside forward and watch him tear defences to pieces with his pace.

Sanchez acceleration has been up'd on this FM, iirc.

He looks as good as ever though, anyone know how much you can get him for?

If he was 18 then maybe one of the best prospects. He's not bad but as people have said if he plays as a forward then he lacks the finishing and composure and as a winger he lacks passing and crossing. He looks raw but with the right training, tutorage, and first team games then who knows. His accelaration would scare defenders though!

Just thinking out loud here but with low cencentration and decisions then maybe a scout report whould tell us that he is quite unintelligent.

4-2-3-1 lone striker with fenerbahce was playin with a playmaker(bought for 20m.cheated)wanted to see him play badly,and scored total 23 and 5 assists.he runs liike hell,almost he runs his way into the net

target man-but almost poacher

target man-run onto ball

Or play him on left wing as an inside forward and watch him tear defences to pieces with his pace.

I tried that at Udinese in a counter attack based system, which should suit his speed. While the club did really well Sanchez' contribution was marginal at best. He was running up and down like crazy, but couldn't apply a decent finish or give a decent pass or cross to the other attackers. ( Artem Milevsky in the centre and Angel di Maria as right winger )

I only have the demo though, so with some training and tutoring he can be shaped into a good player maybe.

His finishing is underrated, he has been lethal with Chile in the world cup quals, scoring almost in every game including first touch goals and amazing lobs over keepers. His technique and first touch should be also looked into, because for what i´ve seen (on tv and live) he posses a great touch and control of the ball, even in very uncomfortable conditions he controls the ball as soon as he touches it. However his long shot ability is overrated, he has scored only one long shoot with Colo Colo and one with Udinese.

his decisions rating is too low to ever really tempt me into signing him tbh

He was one of the best players for my Fiorentina save on FM09, keeping Messi out of the team.

Haven't tried him on FM10 though...

he is playing quite well in my save for liverpool.

How much does this lad cost?

£15-30m it varies.

what a player signed him for my ajax team for 14 million

He's brilliant and can still improve. Sometimes Udinese sell him in the second season for about €7 or €8m after he asks for a new contract and Udinese say no. It's happened in 2 out of 3 games I've played recently.

This is after one year under user control. He's still very young. His composure and finishing have improved and all this without a tutor.

This is what he looks like after 6 seasons under AI control. His pace and dribbling scares defenders and his mental stats do improve. He's not the most prolific goalscorer but with that stamina and work rate he will run up and down all day long, making chances.

I'm not sure if they've been playing him on the wing or as a striker, but as you can see from his history he hasn't been scoring that many or assisting that many goals. however his average rating is awesome, so it looks like he will always put in a great performance.

^^he didn't develop that much imo. he just increased his lower attributes by 1 or 2 points

For a player of this quality and intrest in him i thought this thread would be a hive of activity. I was wrong. I don't know whether to sign this fella with my Man City load. I've got Adam Johnson but. I dunno.

Why is there no option for winger/attack, when there is an option for target man/support? Target man for Alexis is the most ridiculous suggestion I've ever heard

Advanced playmaker on either wing would probably be my preference. I tend to have the best luck with dribblers in that role.

the cheaper version of CR9 ?

Indeed Mirko.

How is this thread so quiet.

This is one player where I ignore his attributes because he is just dynamite. I would never normally consider using an inside forward with such low finishing/composure but this guy just gets it done. One of my favourite FM10 players

Exactly my thoughts mate about the intrest in this thread.

Back to Mr.Sanchez, I've been wondering whether i should buy him on my Man City save (1st transfer window), because Craig Bellamy is out for 5 months with a broken pelvis, Adam Johnson is out for 6 weeks with a damaged heel and SWP isn't hitting top form. What should I do fellas?

I love this guy though.

I'd buy him. No personal experience with the guy, but if he is good as he is made out to be on this thread and will get better, you have practically unlimited funds as you are City, and you are short of other options, why not??

In case anyone's interested, I think his PA is

Can't remember where I read that, but I think it's right.

Llew - buy

Joe - you are right

i loaned him from Udinese and offered 100% salary and 3m , and just offered a 10m to buy him . accepted ! ;D

Anyone else been watching him today against Honduras?

This is the first time EVER i've watched Alexis play live. . . .and I havn't been disappointed. He's been a absolute LIVEWIRE. He's gonna be hot property after the World Cup.

he's just been related to cristiano ronaldo by the 5live commentator ! playing awsome i believe

The only reason I'm watching the game is because of Sanchez

signed him first season for City. Whilst he hasnt got a massive amount of goals or assists, his ratings have been good and he is improving. I play him as an attacking winger on the right

He was transfer listed at Real Madrid on mine so I snapped him up, this is him in late 2015:

Playing him as a winger on the right or left (my wingers are set to swap positions) and he's done very well. When the opposite winger to him has the ball, he tends to drift into the middle and get a couple of goals that way. Very impressed with him

Is he worth 15m over 24 months in first season?

Legendary player.

Currently my favourite player on the planet.

Anyone know how much Udinese sell him around in the second season?

I'm leverkusen and want Sanchez desperately...

I must have him for once

Most definitely.

You get overly excited way too easily over so many players

Anything from £10m-£20m.

I know Ty but I'm just so interested by these foreign talents, especially as Sanchez is Chilean and I've had a odd like to them for a while now. And anyway Sanchez is such an interesting player, he's one of the next big things...

I guess this world cup is sending me a bit crazy

Screw the English talents... They aren't exciting... I want players like Derdiyok and Sanchez!

Not sure if I can afford that though... Looks like I'll have to make him request a transfer to me.

Chile have had amazing talents on FM since FM06, shame about FM10 though Not as many!

Ukraine seems to be where it is at this year!

Haven't yet used Sanchez on FM10. What am I playing at!

That's typical.

I didn't play Fm06-09 and I come back for 10 and now there aren't as many chilean talents

You need to get Sanchez though Ty.

This man is a god.

FM08 was particularly full of Chileans!

Well, I am Portsmouth again now... it will be a while before I can afford him, and if he will want to join!

No idea Ty. Sanchez is now officially my favourite player on FM10.

How do you make a poll exactley?

Was offered to me for £7.5 million 2nd season for everton so i signed him up but i dont play wingers but his such a good player so i signed him for cheap, how should i play him?

Attacking Mid?

Striker?

Striker. Play him as a poacher and just unleash his pace or as a trequartista to exploit his flair.

Play him as right winger as a winger on attack duty, in my opinion. Also change his wideplay to 'moves into channels' or 'normal', and reduce his crossing. I find he's much better out wide where he can find space to run in.

That would normally be my advice but he said he doesn't use wingers.

Right you are

What edgar said then haha.

Im looking for a young right winger who i can make world class. I want him to run down the right flank, beat his man and get a decent cross into Lukaku. I'm in 2 minds between Sanchez and Salvio.....have people in here had experiences with them both and who would you recommend? Thanks.

Sanchez.

I bought him for my Leverkusen side £7.5million... Bargain... He bombs down the wings and scores plenty of goals...

Amazing player

I'd say Sanchez as well. A different class.

I find Salvio has very little end product compared with Sanchez, as well as much better starting attributes.

I've got Sanchez and Salvio at City. (bit of a waste of talent with Weiss as well, but i'd rather have quality back up than let anyone else have him) Sanchez has played for me more, and has better stats, but Salvio has started popping up with goals when he plays.

Thanks for quick reply. Gonna have a look when i get home from work and see what my scout says what price they would be availiable for, im playing as Bolton and can do with going for the cheaper option really....My idea is to turn Bolton into the new Arsenal...buying young and for pennies and turning them into Superstars. Might take me a while though lol.
