FM10: Marko Marin

Player profile

Is this one of the hottest prospects in German football? His attributes doesn’t look very impressive to me. Looks like someone who can and will only play half a match.

Facts:

Marko Marin, a German footballer of Bosnian Serb descent, plays as a winger for Werder Bremen. He made his big money move from Gladbach to his current club over the summer.

Honours:

2. Bundesliga – 2008

UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship - 2009

are you actually signing these players and reviewing them or just saying 'he's a good prospect i'll make a thread'?

as it would be nice (imo) for someone to make a thread about a player who they have actually signed and played so people can know how to play them and how well they play etc etc

To quote Kox, one of the German researchers in the data issues thread:

"It's simply not true that Marko Marin "plays almost all of the games".

In fact he was subsituted in seven of the eight games he's started this season (2009/10).

During his time at Gladbach he was usually tiring down massively after 60 minutes"

Marin is a quality player IRL (I saw him play last season for Gladbach vs Stuttgart) and in the game , but the physical side of his game needs developing through training in the game

totally agree ive just signed in to find millions of posts about players (most well known) theres no way you have signed them all and played with them to give enough information on them.

plus im sure the mods said something about a limitation on official threads each person can make , so give someone else a chance and actually play the game for a while

I signed him in a straight swap for Sukuta-Pasu

I play him as a super-sub and he's doing well, he also played Euro 2012

This guy looks so similar to a guy I know it's freaky.

i managed him in my save in Werder Bremen...he gets tired very easily...unlikely to last a game without going down to about 65% condition.

He looks pretty average, I thought he had a very high PA tbh.

Actually he is playing as an attacking midfielder playmaker something like that,he provides some great key passes in the game but he is physically sooo weak.But there is also another prospect in the team Mesut.And he is so much better than him in every way

I signed him for my Arsenal side cost me 12.5m and he's yet to finish half a game with a condition rating above 68%...thinking of selling him to be honest

His stamina can probably improved to around a 13 by age 24. Good thing is that his natural fitness is decent. With proper tutoring, he can go quite far.

Just checked - He's a stamina 13 at age 23 in my game. Currently at Juventus. So if he cost quite a bit, I'll probably keep him for a couple of years to see how he develops.

Marin in 2014

He's still improving at the age of 25.

edit .

Very good player. Signed for €21.5M and in his first season in Premier League he got 24 assists

To think this lad was touted as the next Beckenbauer on many previous FM's is pretty laughable.

He's actually good on the game and he's like Diego Buonanotte, he's very quick, creative, skillful and has bags of flair. Despite the stats not looking the most jaw dropping, he can be very effective in the right side.

I have got some problems getting my wingers to perform for my Leeds side... I had Eduardo Salvio and played him as a winger on attack duty, moving into channels, but Arsenal bought him and I replaced him with Marin.

I play 4-2-3-1 - either with wingers or with three AMC:s. Marin plays to the right.

How would you recommend me to play him? Role?

How did a winger ever get touted to be the next Beckenbauer? I thought Beckenbauer was a sweeper... Maybe I've misunderstood as I don't know a huge amount about legends and past football

To be honest though Marin looks pretty good in attacking traits but his mentals are shocking...

I will never go near him plus anyway he's sort of in Ozil's shadow now

Viquitor what kind of training schedule do you have him on ? He is age 24 in my save and he's way way behind your version of him. He is in the 2nd season under me and so far hasn't had any major injuries and has started 40+ games + further 20 games from the bench.

Anyone know why my Marin has changed from 'Either' footed to being Right footed? :/
