FanasdaBola Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Name: Kwadwo Asamoah Club: Udinese D.O.B: 9/12/1988 Nationality: Ghana Position: Mid (D/C/A) Ghana have a knack of producing athletic, determined, feisty and talented centre midfielders: Stephen Appiah, Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng come to mind. Now add Kwadwo Asamoah to that list. Asamoah fulfils all the requirements in a centre midfielder: isn’t limited from an offensive or defensive perspective, comfortable with possession, hard working without possession, knows and plays his role to what the manager expects. Manager Francesco Guidolin expects box-to-box running, to which Asamoah has delivered along with beating opposing players off the dribble. Asamoah could transition from being a role player to a star player. One of the best, if not the best, Box-to-Box of FM 2012. Strengths: Bravery, Tackling, Composure, Dribbling Weaknesses: Long throws, Heading , Jumping Suggested Roles: Cm Ball Winning; Box-to-Box midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now add Kwadwo Asamoah to that list. You forgot to add that they have a knack of producing black midfielders, with that being a pivotal piece of information 'n all.

Raymubdo21 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I don't think their is anything wrong with it and there is no need to bring it up, back to the player he looks like a beast on the game and several times have been interested in sigining him but haven't had the opportunity to fit him in my team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Well, the title was a bit pointless more than anything if you ask me. But as for Kwadwo he's a player I really like, a physical beast and a top notch player in most areas. Also the only player in all FM's for me who's been struck by a virus that kept him out for almost a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cezar.sl Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 With retraining, he becomes one of the best left-backs in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llew_Arshavin23 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Signed him on FM10 for the mighty Gunners; brilliant deep-lying playmaker. Some moderator remove needless, pointless add-on to a perfectly normal title too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD nawrat Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I signed him for my Man City side in January of Season 2 as the eventual successor to Yaya Touré as a Box to Box midfielder. He's not settled too well in the first six months, but I'm not worried. I always get the best out of my players eventually. My midfield duo is André Ayew and Kwadwo Asamoah - Ghanaian Power!

Marsupian Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Signed him on FM10 for the mighty Gunners; brilliant deep-lying playmaker. Some moderator remove needless, pointless add-on to a perfectly normal title too. I agree he should be great playing playing deep distributing play, his 17 stamina would go a little underused tho. It does make your defense very solid. If you play him with a more creative midfielder you should consider playing the creative one deeper with asamoah in a box to box role. It relieves some of the pressure from the creative player and Asamoah is also great in a more advanced role (as well as having the stamina and speed to get back for defensive duties). I play Arteta and Ramsey in a more advanced box to box role with Song and Fellaini in a deeper DLP role but sometimes (especially for big games) I switch them around giving me better distribution from deep and someone to battle and put pressure up front.

Ron_Burgundy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Just bought this fella for £11.75mil at Arsenal. I have high hopes of him playing alongside Wilshere and Arteta but also like the fact he has the stats to fill in for Song at DMC if needed. Made a great start in preseason too... Think he might be a bit of a steal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 i was told by my scout to try and buy this guy at the end of season, when window was open as a replacemant to ryan giggs. but some other team went with a higher bid then i was willing to spend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 No. André Ayew is immense. Asamoah is quality and more versatile, but if you want a top quality MC then Ayew is much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsupian Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 No. André Ayew is immense. Asamoah is quality and more versatile, but if you want a top quality MC then Ayew is much better. Doesn't this depend on your save? Seeing as Ayew has a rondom -9 PA and Assamoah has a fixed PA inside the -9 range if I remember right? (PA spoiler) Anyway besides the potential of the guys you also have to take into account how they get developed and how they fit into your team. You can't just say one is always better than the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD nawrat Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 PA doesn't mean that much. Given the choice, I would take Ayew every time because I can get the best out of him and have him playing at a world class standard week-in, week-out.

jeesh Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hard to buy beginning of the game. At a point his value drops. I bought him for 7.5 Mill Euros in my second season for my Valencia team. Pro's- -He is another 3 lung player like Park Ji Sung. He is literally everywhere. Although it says he plays best as ball winning midfielder i use him as box to box. One minute he is at the back defending, next he is winning balls in the middle, and before you know it he is in the final third contributing passes or long shots. Playing with him is like playing with 12 players. Defends, creates, attacks with ease! -Scores quite a few through long rangers -Although his stats are low in heading, he wins quite a lot of aerial balls due to his strength. You wont find better players to win possession Cons -Not much. Only thing is he lacks the creativity to create assists, otherwise outstanding player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
