Victor Moses - Worth it?

I know he's rated a lot in real life, so I've been tracking him for a while on the game.

Anyway, he recently declared he wanted to leave Palace, so I (4th in the Championship) made an offer of about £700k on the off chance they'd accept.

Well they did, and he seems quite keen to join, but I'm having doubts

This is the third season and he hasn't progressed much, £700k will smash my highest ever amount paid (£180k) so I need to be 100% confident he'll do the business.

Ideally he'll be my main striker if I reach the Premiship, but with only 11 for finishing and no other stand out attributes, I don't know if he'll cut it.

Does he improve dramatically or stay pretty much the same?

he improves he scored alot of goals in the under 21s for me and he also can play out wide cant he?

his stats look fairly immpressive!

I think you should buy him.

On my game he hasn't ended up much more than a good championship striker. I don't think he'd be a 10 goal a season scorer in a newly promoted side. He's not exceptionally fast nor is he a good finisher, which means he will squader a good deal of chances or get caught up with.

he sucks for me.

he certainly isnt a striker tbh.... he's an attacking midfielder either center of wings...

and 750k is a great price for him whatever the team...

I almost always buy him for around 2mil in every game i play

in my 3rd year with leeds after 2 promotions and in the premier league ,i got him for 1m and yes my target man up forward and is doing awesome ,like he did in fm 2008

I took him to Celtic and he did well playing on the wings. Seems to have a nack at being in the right places at the right times.

On FM08 he was really good and was a first team regular for me in the premiership once he'd matured abit, i had him in pretty much every career i did. However on FM09 it looks unlikely he'll be anything good, u could give him a bash at amc though:)

He will be good, looks very good already on your screenie. But even so, on the February patch he'll be very good, stats will be much more realistic(better).

just signed him for Villa in my 3rd season for £5M!

he looks good already and scored the winning goal in extra time against Liverpool for me. Definetly worth £700K. I payed a bit over the odds for him but my scouts say he is quality prospect. I think he has a - PA so he could turn out good or maybe not but he probably hasn't had enough time to improve and become a quality player.

He has a

Hope that works right. But IMHO, he should be a -9.

what does -8 mean

Perhaps this will help you;

III. What is a players Current Ability and/or Potential Ability how can it change?

Every single player on Football Manager has a Current Ability, also known as CA. This is a number ranging from 1-200, 1 being a very low ability, 200 being the highest. A players current ability changes throughout the game, depending on training, game time, and injuries. A player's current ability can also naturally go up, as a player gets older.

A players Current Ability CAN change throughout the game.

Every player also has a Potential Ability, commenly known as PA. Player Ability is a number that players are assigned to before the save game starts, and a players potential ability is the same on everyones game. This number also ranges from 1-200. A potential ability of 1 means the player is more than likely to be awful, a potential ability of 200 has the potential to be one of the worlds best. Although most players have set potential abilities, some players have varying potential abilities. These potential abilities are negative potentials. At the start of a new game players with negative potentials are assigned potentials, ranging from one number to another. The different negative abilities and what they mean are shown below:

-10 = PA 170-200

-9 = 150-180

-8 = 130-160

-7 = 110-140

-6 = 90-120

-5 = 70-100

-4 = 50-80

-3 = 30-60

-2 = 10-40

-1 = 0-20

A players Potential Ability CAN NOT change throughout the game.

what does -8 mean

that he has a potential ranging from 130-160 i think im sure a mod will clear it up.

EDIT: Beaten by dun dun dun a mod

Just wondering is he worth sigining does his stats improve in the the future and what is the best position to play him ???

This is him in 2013, championship quality at the most tbh.
