FM10: Sandro

[shanks]

Can i ask, has his CA been changed in the new patch? If so, what is it now?

[gotenso]

Wanted by Tottenham and Internazionale for the next season

[shanks]

Thanks for that

[PMLF]

That's his PA, not CA.

The CA is:

141

[McN0ble]

Bought him on the second season on my 10.2 Atletico Madrid Save and he is immense! Expesive though, had to pay £15 mil for him. Playing him as a deep playmaker and after 3 months, he's already the most important player of my team.

[lfc7]

Am looking on buying him as backup to Mascherano for £15M playing MC ball winning midielder he has 15+ in every stat needed except for agression which is 12

The only thing is he has right foot only and ive heard people say one footed players are not too good

Anyone help? thanks

[aston_martin]

I have not noticed any significant detriment to him being "right only"

[John Smith]

The only thing is he has right foot only and ive heard people say one footed players are not too good

If that's the case, more than 80% of the players are tosh then.

[killface]

One footed players are usually good, just not as good as they look. If two players had the exact same stats, the one who could use the other foot better would be the better player. That being said, I don't want a player with a 7 or 8 for his bad foot using that foot anyway.

[Skoolblowsme]

I had him tutored by Essien, turned into a monster

[edgar555]

I think he was joking...anyway you're both wrong its spuds

Typical gooner.

[suba]

Any pic of Sandro fully developed?

[JiggyDempsey]

Screenie plz

[DandyDon]

I play a fairly standard 4-4-2 formation so there's no DM, do you think Sandro could slot into this as a ball winning midfielder or would he maybe be better as a deep lying playmaker?

[Ville Valo]

The only DM I seem to buy (I love aerially dominant midfielders)

Fantastic player.

[DougyMarshall]

Any pic of Sandro fully developed?

Here he is in my Rangers 2014/15 team.

Bought 3 and a bit seasons ago

161 games, 26 goals, 53 assists, and averaging around 7.3 for his time with me.

[Snoop Robbie Rob]

I have him, I just can't get the best out of him. I've tried him as an anchor man, a deep lying playmaker, a box-to-box without the long shots bar up, I've played him in plenty of roles but he just seems a bit average, he doesn't score, create or anything, he just passes it alright in the middle, but nothing outstanding. Is it him settling in in the first year or am I expecting too much?

Is he having to do alot of adapting to fit into your squad, id consider this an important factor in performances/development

[Dave7BFC]

Ive got him for my Title Winning Man City team, he makes good backup to De Rossi

[edgar555]

Just for the record I've now retrained him as a DC, don't play him there often but whenever I have he has been immense, strikers just don't go past him and he is dominant in the air.

[Snoop Robbie Rob]

Nope. He's enjoying playing for the club and he already has Lisandro and Chiellini as his favoured personnel. He is just generally average, nothing too flash but nothing poor, he just gets on with it and never really gets better than a 7.0.

You must be doing something very wrong then!

[joe__the__man]

I use him at DM as deep lying playmaker (support), set as team playmaker, with two ball winning midfielders ahead of him. Working ridiculously well at the moment - he generally complete 125+ passes a game, and has the highest passing complete % in the league with 92%. All that and he still has 9 assists by December, which show he does take some risks in his passes as well.

I'm also training his PPMs, 'play short passes' at the moment. Any others that would be useful? I'm trying to turn him into Xavi, except with the ability to defend really well.

Also on a sidenote, I noted his attributes, and he could also be wordclass as a centre back!

[Snoop Robbie Rob]

Here he is in my save, as you can see, nothing special, produced literally nothing. I usually play him as a DM with the deep lying playmaker thingy, but I've also shifted him further up field as a CM and played him in that role. Not managed to have tutored yet but I may use de Jong as he's determined.

Thanks to all who helped me clearing my pictures up!

[gfvfbbv]

I played him from deep lying playmaker from CM and he scored a few and assisted a lot had him tutored by mascherano and gerrard and he was a beast by the second half of the second season

Save corrupted

He was coming along so nicely as well, definitely gonna look at him though for my new save.

[smithyboy]

looking good on my arsenal save now

[dovEs]

Never does much goal contribution wise for me either but always plays just over a 7 ave. rat. and whatever team I play as seems to do well with him in it, can even be part of EPL title winning teams so worth getting if you can pick him up for under 10m.

[Ville Valo]

I tend to get 10 goals and assists a season from him, I might be to do with the fact that I let Scholes tutor him though, boosted his creative stats a fair bit.

[Veg]

Creativity ain't improved because of tutoring... It is only the hiiden mental attributes and determination that does.

[Ville Valo]

Ah well, He's improved alot anyway.

[dz47]

anyone know if sandro's buying price has changed at all for 10.3?

cheers

[JiggyDempsey]

Seems that he's gone from right only to right

Price tag seems the same although I think Brazilian wage demands arent as high

[Jackrosiemaisie]

According to good old Ayres Albuquerque im my game (10.3) it will take a bid of at least:

July 09 - £8m

Jan 10 - £11.5m

July 10 - £11.75m

I started my game with no 1st season budgets but my board made funds available in November (I was surprised) I got him for €7.5M in Jan 10. I'm sure the budget selection at the start is influencing what happened in my game

[man_utd_fan]

On the first season you should be able to get him on loan. i managed it with Stoke, i think he might go to any team in the prem on loan.

[Skinaldo]

how much fee upfront and wages mate ?

[Toothless Gibbon]

I have loaned Sandro to Sporting CP for 2.7m fee and 4.8m arranged price.

Been amazing so no surprise I made it permanent ASAP.

[Leto2626]

In march 2018 he looks like this :

playing 6 seasons for me, I play him mostly at the MR position (tall wingers ftw !), but serves as 2nd DMC if Sissoko isn't available. not always in my start 11 for Juve but he's a wonderful player. I tought about making hm DC too ... has all the stats for it

[man_utd_fan]

1.6mill i got him on loan for, and his wages are 8,500.

[TwistedTwiddler]

He has been banging in the assist department for me at Sunderland, he's managed 18 assists in alle competitions in my first season.

After 2 Young Player of the Month awards, his status changed into 'wonderkid'. Ended the season with 31 appearances and avg. of 7.31.

Is that on 10.3?

Am I the only one with his foot as right appose to right only :confused:

[Skinaldo]

nice1 thanks

[Bracken]

Just says right, not right only on my game too. Signed him for Chelsea first season for £8.5m, has been doing a great job as DM for me so far

[TaNeR_08]

hes amazing at DM, either as a anchor man or a defensive midfielder, just wont let past any attackers but always gets yellow card every game!

[aunmar]

Playing him in my Ajax team as Deep Lying Playmaker along with a Ball Winning Midfielder. He is set as playmaker at team settings also. Which PPM do you recommend for him? Have been wondering about "Plays short simple passes", but will that force him to reduce through balls?

Here is his instructions:

[aunmar]

No-one, seriously?

[joe__the__man]

Reduce his 'runs from deep' for a start, I'd say it should be rarely. Also reduce his passing a bit, by about 5-6 notches, and put his closing down up a little bit.

That will just mean he sees more of the ball.

[aunmar]

Isn't short passing quite limiting for a player who's meant to play through balls? Thanks for reply.

[joe__the__man]

Not not really. It won't affect him attempting to play through ball, but it will just mean that he would try intricate balls in the middle instead of trying to pick out a long pass to a striker or winger. Typical playmakers, such as Xavi, Xabi and Pirlo, make most of their passes 5-10 yards to a teammate, and then that gives them opportunity to pick out the killer ball when its on.
