markymarky Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Besagno was a bit of a legend for me too, a key player in my Milan team for over 15 years. Sadly didn't make the transition to coaching. Same with the well-known legend that is Rafinha. Neither guy stopped performing at the top level until their mid-30s. Better still was regen striker Diego Pisano, who I signed on a free at 18 for him to go on and be my star man for the next 17 years and a good first teamer for the next three. Getting 73 goals in 116 caps is pretty impressive for someone who was usually played as a right winger internationally, too. I did a check on his PA late in his career and, much to my surprise, it was only ("only") 185! In my current team I have two guys who'll probably top him, though. Striker Stefano Corrado at the age of 30 has been the club's star since age 18, with his finest season seeing him average 8.22 with 39 goals in 32 league games. Last season he got a remarkable 20 goals in the Champions League. He also has 106 goals in 119 international games. I don't recall seeing any other players get over the 100 goals mark. Maybe better still is AMC Luca Russo, just 21 yet with 20 goals in his 40 caps to his name, winner of golden boot and player of the tournament in the European Championships aged just 19. I fear for the world when he gets to his peak. What's the oldest players ever get before retiring in FM06? My goalkeeper, Matteo Iuliano, is inexplicably as good as he's ever been at 39, still first choice for Italy (with 160 caps), amazingly still with a CA of 181. It'll be a sad day when I see him go. I've had two players who I've bred as replacements for him get tired of sitting on the bench as they approach their mid-20s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lathund Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Fernando Morientes in a CM 01/02 online game where I played as Leyton Orient. I wasn't very good and got my team locked in a negative spiral where my wage budget meant that all my money went to pay wages, and I had no money to sign players. And as such my team was an aging team comprised of bosmans, with no saleable assets to turn things around. The only thing saving me was Morientes who made my 1-0 grinding 4-5-1 tactic work Been plenty of memorable players though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullion1 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 fm07, strachan had been sacked early, the team had all deserted, and celtic had gone on a downward spiral to the Scottish 1st division, me, fresh from being sacked from the Leeds job, i took over at celtic, and signed of all people, Henrik Larsson on the free, and true to him, he showed that true class never dies, scored 40 league goals in the season, won me the scottish cup, the CIS cup, and promotion, all in one year, then he retired.

Alnubist Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Craig Brown in CM4, he was a player the computer added to the Alloa Athletic Squad at the beginning of the game to bring the number of players up (pity it couldn't have added a keeper to a squad that started with no GK) He gained a few Scotland caps, played MC for all 10 seasons from Div 2 to SPL champs in a squad which also featured: Ivan Hurtado Stavaridis (Greek international defender) It was a pain in div. 1 having both CB's away on international duty. Kingsley (Kenyan striker bought for free sold for 5.5m). Craig Fagan (bought for peanuts as a potential back up, he complained about not playing. As there were 4 matches left and as I had gained promotion i granted him his wish and he scored 9 goals) In another Alloa CM4 game I signed Peter Holcroft (MC) for free 18 goals in 36 games, the chairman hated him and told me to stop playing him, so after a few warning I eventually had to release him. Earlier version of CM it would have to be the Brazilian regen available at the beginning of season 2 for £5m with 20 for both Finishing and first touch.

Guest Gildas Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Nathan Jarman on football manager 2006 was an absolute legend for me (he was pretty good on 2007 too) He helped me take Barnsley to the premiership scoring 40 goals + in a championship season 3 years running and when i moved to liverpool i took him with me and he carried on there, his worst ever season was 18 goals from 37 games and he finished with 496 league goals from 714 games.

heathxxx Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Michael Duff, Right-Back, originally with Cheltenham Town when he first appeared in the CM/FM series, now with Burnley on FM08. He never had the best attributes, but more than made up for that with his performances & match ratings. This guy would never get anything less than a rare 7 and was normally on an 8,9, or 10 match rating. No matter what level I played, or what team I was, after I'd signed him the first time, he was always one of the first signings I would made. When I played long-term games, he invariably had the highest average rating of any player on the game until he retired. I've often wondered how he came to perform so well, but he's definitely my favourite signing across a number of releases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markymarky Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 while I lauded genuine superstars in my previous post, I think I kind of prefer players getting a bit above their station. Who would've thought that mediocre journeyman Mike Zonneveld would tear up Serie A as left winger with my obscenely overachieiving Bologna team, winning best defender and best foreign player for five consecutive years, with fellow overachieving (although probably a better player in terms of CA and PA) winger Darijo Srna being not far behind? Particularly impressive considering the comparable mediocrity of the attackers they were supplying. Giorgios Samaras as Serie A top scorer? Classic.

Schotsmannetje Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Andrea Pirlo and Gianluca Buffon, starting from around 01/02 (which is that, CM4???) and they still are. I know they are extremely expensive, but if you have a large budget, they're the ones to go for. De Guzman and Micah Richards are also awesome in the latest 2 or 3 versions.

In his first season he scored 19 league goals from central midfield, at the grand old age of 19! None of his technical attributes were below 17... In CM3, with Hearts, I signed a striker called Marc Anthony on a free: he was out of contract at the start of the game. Went on to be top scorer in the SPL...
