Absolutely, he has very reasonable wage demands as well, comparatively to a lot of players. Only thing he really lacks is a strong set of physical attributes, but technically and mentally he is very good. Also, the merchandising benefits will make him a worthwhile signing for most clubs.

Name: Franco Zuculini

Age: 22

Nationality: Argentina

Club: Unattached

Position: Dm/Cm

Value: Free

Sale Value: N/A

Work Permit Needed?: No, Italian second nationality.

Was always a decent if unspectacular DM in previous games. As he's free should be a decent signing, with low wages.

I already posted him in the scandinavian players thread, but for the price of 450K (minimum fee release clause for forgein clubs; in british pounds) this boy is class:

KASPER KUSK

Name: Kasper Kusk

Position: ML (RC, AMCRL)

Age: 21

Club: Aalborg BK

Value: £1.4M

Sale Value: £450K -> minimum fee release clause for foreign clubs; so if you are not playing in the danish leagues you could snap him up for a bargain price.

Work permit?: No

Name: Ze Roberto

Age: Still going at 39!

Nationality: Brazillian

Club:Gremio

Position: MC/ML/AMC

Value: 50K

Sale Value: 70K-ish

Work Permit Needed?: Yes

Another brazillian veteran with very good stats like Alex^ and the 20 for natural fitness and 18 for stamina are great stats certainly at his age.

Tried to sign Ze Roberto in the summer of 2014, but he wanted £60k a week, so he's not going to be playing for my club. Might go for him at the very start of my new save when the full game is released.

how much room for improvement has he left? looks just about perfect (lacks a bit of heading for my liking for a DMC)

Name: Sodinha

Age: 25

Nationality: Brazil

Club: Brescia

Position: AMC/AMR

Value: ~£215k

Sale Value: ~£325k

Work Permit Needed?: Not in Italy!

So, Sodinha's a pretty crap player. As a complete midfielder, he's basically useless - 6 tackling, 6 marking, 8 teamwork, 11 strength and no other physicals above 10. He's also mostly a finished product. There's not a lot of room for him to improve. What he does have is a remarkable set of technical attributes for a lower-league player. Corners and determination: 16. Flair and technique: 17. Dribbling and free kick taking: 18. Long shots: 20.

So far in the 2014-2015 Serie C1 season, he's appeared 17 times for me, five times as a sub. In those 17 appearances, he has four goals and three assists, which is pretty damn good for a player who, in my tactics, really only touches the ball during set pieces. If you can figure out a way to fit this one-dimensional player into your lower-league side, he can basically be your League 2, CFA or Serie C version of Baggio.

Name: Sergi Roberto

Age: 21

Nationality: Spanish

Club: Barcelona

Position: CM

Sale Value: +-10m

Work Permit Needed?: N/A

Got him on a free at the end of the second season. Barcelona didn't offer him a new contract so I snapped him up.

Only thing I would say about Roberto is his fitness is carp! He is never fit and his condition always goes down to about 50-60% if played for 90 minutes.

I picked up Martinez for £18m from Real Madrid, as he was transfer listed and unhappy. He is one of the many, many amazing Argentinians on FM14. Here he is aged 26 (2021) for my Pompey team, the guy is incredible... I have him paired in a narrow 4231 (3 AMC's) with Paredes.

A very versatile midfielder. He only had 3 stats 10 or below when I found him and still does. He can play anywhere, literally.

He's still only 21 in my save (I'm in 2015) so still has time to grow into a great midfielder. I'm derby so don't have any good tutors available but if you were a slightly better team and could afford that then I'm sure he would be a lot better for you.

PPMs: Shoots from distance, Plays one twos
