iTunit Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Bought him in the 2nd season for £21M and this is what he did. I used him as Poacher, upfront on his own with VDV behind him. http://imageshack.us/f/849/2011110300001.jpg/ Couldn't see the stats clearly enough so I'll just put the link to the image.

phidelta42 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Paid £21m or so in the second season for him and he does seem to be a complete beast. Scored 5 on his debut, but does have dry spells and I agree he does miss a lot of chances. I think he's like 24 goals in 17 games, so I can't complain too much! Still needs to settle a bit I think.I'm not on the game at the mo, so can anyone see if he has any PPM's? He has shoots with power IIRC. I think this is the reason for his dry spells. In form a powerful shot on target is usually a goal, out of form its row Z. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfc7 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Tried to get shoots with power removed, but me coach said he couldn't do it. I wanted to get him to place shots as am sick of him missing chances although he does still score a few goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis999 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Been looking at this lad for a few years on my game but his value has risen so highly in the last season at Internacional (Think it's about 19m at the minute) so I may have to pay a lot of money for him. I wanted to get him earlier on as his reputation to start with isn't that big so he wouldn't ask for bucket loads in signing on fee's and wages I wouldn't of thought.

Mikal Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 End of his first season with me bagged himself around 35 goals and about 16 assists, top drawer stuff. With more consistency (and if I can get rid of that damn shoots with power ppm) he will get goals galore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 How do you guys get him to score a lot of goals? Got 3 goals in 10 games for my Malaga team, playing him as poacher and sometimes targetman attack but still struggling to find the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phidelta42 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have had no luck asking him to stop shooting with power but he has learned to round the keeper and is pretty consistent in front of goal for me now. I'm playing him as a lone striker in a 4-2-1-2-1 as poacher and he's just finished the season with 34 from 32 in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorJesus Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Guy has been insane for me this season (esp in the champions league).

RiseyD Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The fee's being spojen about here are crazy! I've never seen him for anything less than £40m on a few different saves? Even going up to £60/70 when in form! Finally got my Chairman to negotiate a deal for him at £35m and am looking forward to using him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I really hate Shoots With Power - it's the most annoying preferred move available and if Damiao didn't have it, he'd score so many more goals. Dammit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebder88 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Signed him for £19m in summer 2012 for my Prem and FA cup winning Liverpool side. He did the business against Man City in the community shield but has been a bit off in the first 3 league games. He does miss a lot of clear chances. Might have something to do with having a fairly low technique for someone of his ability. May also explain why he can't be trained to place shots.

phidelta42 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 To train place shots you need to get rid of shoots with power first but he is stubborn. He will learn to round the keeper though which helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maran Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Got him for £15m over 48 mths for my Newcastle side in January 2012. Don't ask how lol. Low enough wages too (£35,000). Looking forward to seeing how he does! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to make a significant difference in the selling price of Brazilian players if you have the Brazilian league loaded or not. If you load the league, the price of seems to go up. That may not be the case for everyone who is getting him "cheap", but may be why some are able to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robchamp Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Signed him for £24m Over 48 Months with Everton. Had him as CF for 1st half of season - 7 Goals in 17. Second half of season as a Poacher - 20 Goals in 19 Games. He is unreal. Scoring goals for fun & blending into PL life. Plays up front with Eriksen behind. Deadly combo. Rippeed Manure & Chelski apart. Starts have got much better over one season & will be best striker on the game if he continues. Can't wait to try him in CL in season 2.

Casanova Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 This guy is weird, his stats aren't that brilliant but he does score... and often. However he never scored for me when I really needed him too. I always scout players before buying and if there is a striker that has strengths of "Consistency and Enjoys big matches" I always pick them even if there stats are slighty worse. Imo, for the money you need to sign this guy there are strikers who might score less but will score in more important matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddy101 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Brilliant player. 20 goals in all competitions in his first season for me (2012/2013). Would have been more if it wasn't for a big error on my part. Word of advice... DO NOT teach him the ppm "Likes to beat offside trap" as it totally takes away from his all round game.

Anxiietyyy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Leandro Damião is, quite simply put, incredible. The best striker I have ever used. 39 goals in 34 games and the season's not even finished yet! The goals he scores are big ones too- a hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Lyon (including two Maradona-esque goals) and 4 against Zenit St. Petersburg in the champions league quarter finals!

sorensonisawesome Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Got him and Podolski for my Arsenal Save. Got Damiao for most games, Podolski always seems to come up big in big games. Against Unt he got 4, against tottenham podolski got 5! Hoping that Leandro will bang them in against the likes of wigan, villa etc etc. Podolski doesnt show up to those games.

Shaun12011975 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Had never signed him before, was my first signing after taking over Arsenal at the start of the 2nd season, total outlay of £25m all paid upfront and he has been a complete revelation from the word go. Coming to the end of my third season now only missed 4 weeks through injury and has notched up 261 goals in all competitions, hat-tricks galore, most goals in a game for all 3 seasons 4,6 & 7. MoM - 21,39 & 36 so far this season, and still only 25! Have got him playing in the centre of a front three, with a rotation of RVP, Walcott or Oxlaide chamberlain either side, has weighed in with a fair few assists too.........Absolute must buy.

Rossini Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 There's no disputing Damiao is a great player and is one of the best strikers on the game. But I can't understand why everyone makes such a fuss about him when Seydou Doumbia can be picked up for a cheaper price. Doumbia is the best striker on the game in my opinion. Felipe Caicedo is also a left footed version of Damiao who can be signed for far cheaper, plus there's the likes of Abel Hernandez who again, is cheaper than Damiao but just as good.

I think Damiao's hidden stats must be quite good. He rarely needs cajoling or reassurance via team talks. Just bangs 'em in. He's quite professional at least and scores in the big games for me too. FWIW Doumbia and Hernandez, according to my scouts, would cost me almost the same as Damiao. Also, Damiao is quite a bit better in the air than those two.
