Ronaldo Beckham Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I just wanted to start a thread for South American players and also hidden gems. I will start with a few I have found in my Sporting Lisbon save. Matheus Franca - 18 Year Old Brazilian Attacking Midfielder I managed to sign Franca for £7.5m from Flamengo and he has been amazing so far. Matheus Nascimento - 18 Year Old Brazilian Striker He hasn't played much for me yet but has high potential and scoring for fun for my reserves. I will be giving him more game time gradually. I signed him from Botafogo for £5m Santiago Hezze - 21 Year Old Argentinian Defensive Midfielder Hezze was signed as a replacement for Manuel Ugarte and has done very well as his replacement so far. I signed him from Hurracan for £8.75m Emerson - 18 Year Old Brazilian Winger Emerson is a skillful winger I signed for £4m from Atletico Paranaense. One for the future indeed. Leandro Mamut - 19 Year Old Argentinian Attacking Midfielder Mamut is a talented attacking midfielder who fits perfect for my tactic I use. I signed him from Gimnasia for £10.25m Joel Alcantara - 17 Year Old Brazilian Left Back My DOF signed Alcantara from Swiss side Vaduz for a bargain £1m. The annoying thing is I probably wont get the best out of him on this save as I already have very talented Left Back's in Tran Van and Amadou Ndiaye but Alacantara is definitely one to look out for. Angelo - 18 Year Old Brazilian Winger/Striker I am really excited about Angelo who has the talent and potential to become a goalscoring machine. He needs to improve on his finishing but with 15 in Dribbling and decent Acceleration and Pace he should terrorize opposition defences. I signed him for £14.25m from Santos but I think you could get him for less. If anyone like @Jogo Bonito or @Welshace comes across any then please feel free to mention them in here. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Beckham Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Another few South Americans worth looking at. Murilo Oncken - 17 Year Old Brazilian Striker I tried to sign him for Sporting but Liverpool snapped him up. He looks like a right talent. Mauro Rolando - 16 Year Old Uruguayan Right Back I signed Rolando a few seasons into my St.Etienne save and he was very good. I have tried to sign him for Sporting but he wants to continue at Nacional for now. A very good Right Back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshace Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Victor Hugo looks an interesting one.. very much an Enganche or Requelme type in my eyes... Francisco Gonzalez .. a winger who can cross.. rare these days Garayalde .. super hard working midfielder who can attack and defend... love them Pedro .. bit older but a top top striker for any established side. Bento .. one of the best obtainable GK's in the game i think... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Beckham Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Cheers for the suggestions guys. Keep them coming. Here is a few more I have found. Jair - 18 Year Old Central Defender - Santos Joao Lourenco - 18 Year Old Brazilian Winger - Fluminense Rodriguinho - 20 Year Old Brazilian Attacking Midfielder - America Mineiro Lima - 18 Year Old Brazilian Attacking Midfielder - Athletico Paranaense Deivid Washington - 18 Year Old Brazilian Striker - Santos 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 I lost out Vitor Roque who went to Porto so I signed Marcos Leonardo who is dubbed the next Edmundo by the media. Signed him from Santos for £12.5m. He looks like he will get a few goals for Sporting and at 20 years old he isn't even anywhere near his peak as a player. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee_Simpson Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Vitor Roque is definitely my number 1 target. This is a great thread for me actually, because I'm going to start a save with Benfica 👍🏻 I've heard of Franca, he's definitely on my list too. Thauan Lara is a good LB too btw 👍🏻 Edited March 10, 2023 by Gee_Simpson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Fabricio Ventresca will cost you probably near £20m but he is one hell of a player.

Poison Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Found an elite midfielder named Danilo (probably well known, but I didn't know him - left footed too), however I think he's at Nottingham Forest now so not sure if it counts.

I even have one that has new wonderkids that the normal FM database doesn't have so maybe it is cos of that. Have you been able to find him on your save?

Ronaldo Beckham Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 I have had a few people message me asking what database I use. I tick all players from South America as I have a very good gaming laptop so I can have a huge database but it wont affect my speed too much. You don't need to do that to get the players I have mentioned. You can either just tick all players from Brazil as most of the players I have mentioned are Brazilian or just tick Brazil and then tick players from top clubs or top divisions if you want a bigger database.

Bigpapa42 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 On 09/03/2023 at 05:16, Ronaldo Beckham said: Deivid Washington - 18 Year Old Brazilian Striker - Santos It was pre-patch but he wasn't any worse at that point... bought Mr. Washington on a whim after getting Luton promoted in teh first season. In the summer of 2023, I missed on a few promising strikers and ended up buying him for 3m almost entirely because he could get a Work Permit. He did pretty solid in our first season in the Prem but not amazing... but one was one of those players who was constantly improving. Was shocked when he was top ten on the Next Gen list. Never went further with the save but definitely someone I would target again in a save if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrdavidson95 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I’ve started a Benfica save as was struggling for a bit of inspiration this year. I do saves with Airdrieonians and Real Oviedo to death each year so time for something different. Will be intrigued to see how you guys’ development with the players pans out, clearly there are some very talented players in the academy but seems there are 130 odd players on the books across A team, B team, U23 and U19. Just need to work out who I’m going to concentrate on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a i9 9900k but was thinking of upgrading. It's still decent I suppose, but tech moves pretty fast nowadays, the latest cpu's are quite a bit better than mine now. I usually run around 40-50 leagues, but I guess I could reduce it to 20-30 and just load more players instead, as obviously it's the playable leagues that slow things down.

I'm into the second season in my Sassuolo save, and I'm looking at a few brazilian players for my squad and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? Arthur - attacking mid at Fluminese - my scouts rate him 4 stars Giovani - winger at Palmerias - 4 star rating - has played a lot but not great ratings Gabriel Veron - winger at FC Porto - formerly of Palmerias - 5 star rating but hardly played in the first season Marcos Leonardo - Santos - looking at him for left wing rather than up front Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
