NAME: Ilhan Mansiz
POSITION: ST
PREFERED FOOT: Right
AGE: 28-29
NATIONALITY: Turkey
CLUB: None
VALUE: Free!
VERSION: Full Version
COMMENTS: 19 shooting, 18 off the ball, all around GREAT striker for free as he has no club right at the start of the game. Wage is around 20k euro, if you're lucky you might be able to negotiate...

 

[Fellachap]

I'll stick a couple of players on here, i haven't got the game running at the moment so i'm doing it from the top of my head so some details might be wrong, but the names are right so just search for them!!



NAME - Derek Riordan
POSITION - FLRC
AGE - 21
NATIONALITY - Scottish
CLUB - Hibernians
VALUE - Buy him for about 400k, the club will accept, he will be worth about £4.5 million when he joins, gets lots of goals
VERSION - Full
COMMENTS - Bit big headed, unless he joins a big club he says he is using you as a stepping stone to greatness, so loyalty will probably be very low!!

NAME - Daniel Bierofka
POSITION - Am/LRC
AGE - 25
NATIONALITY - German
CLUB - Bayer Leverkusen
VALUE - Even though he is worth about £2.6 the club will accept offers around the 450k mark!!!
VERSION - Full
COMMENTS - Excellent winger, great skill and delivers brilliant through balls

NAME - Daniel Omoya Braaten
POSITION - F/RLC
AGE - 21
NATIONALITY - Norwegian
CLUB - Rosenborg BK
VALUE - about £1.6mil
VERSION - Full
COMMENTS - Well known from previous versions but now with his proper spelling.

 

[Zlatan]

Braaten plays for Rosenborg I believe now.

It's Daniel Bierofka I think you meant. And he's from Bayer Leverkusen.

NAME: Nicolas Cambiasso
POSITION: Foward Center
PREFERED FOOT: Do Not Remember
AGE: 26
NATIONALITY: Argentinian
CLUB: Club Olimpo
VALUE: $200~500
VERSION: Full Version
COMMENTS: Argentinian Database is the worst ever on FM2005, IRL he is GK, and yes, he is Esteban Cambiasso's brother. Maybe he is random on my game, but he is EXCELLENT playing at AMC. Hope this error could be fixed tough, and hope Weinz, researcher of Argentina, could get away of ruining ARG database every version
Not so good, maybe, at European Leagues, but yes for minor ones

 

[sky.]

NAME: Dong Fangzhuo
POSITION: Striker
PREFERED FOOT: Right
AGE: 19
NATIONALITY: China
CLUB: Man U
VALUE: 375k
VERSION: Full Version
COMMENTS: With proper training he can become a mediocre striker. I'm not sure but his potential was pretty high in CM 03/04, here in FM his stats got a boost and his form is great on loan at Antwerp, he has scored 4 goals in 8 games already. Finishing around 14, Technique/Aggression/Determination 16, Acceleration 15. 2 international caps 2 goals.

NAME Dina Fava Passaro
POSITION SC
AGE 27
NATIONALITY Italian
CLUB Udinese
VALUE £5.25m
VERSION Full
COMMENTS Bought for Marseille, very impressive

 

[PSVFOREVER]

NAME: César Delgado
POSITION: FC
AGE: 23
NATIONALITY: Argentinian
CLUB: Cruz Azul
VALUE (that they will sell at): 3.6 million € (thats what they sold him for to Porto)
VERSION: errr, full game...
COMMENTS: One of my favourites from Cm03/04, very cheap for a winger of his quality (on Cm03/04 he was a winger....)
DATABASE: small or higher

 

[NIDOKING]

Delgado is a Winger IRL, he NEVER played as striker...

well, two more, and bargains '.'

NAME: Cheik Gadiaga
POSITION: AM LC
PREFERED FOOT: Left
AGE: 25
NATIONALITY: Senegalese
CLUB: Mons
VALUE (that they will sell at): $150k Compensation, or free if you wait
VERSION: Full Game
COMMENTS: Incredible Technical stats and very good mental ones, a shame his Physical, but, Mons has his contract unprotected (Note: I began at Jan 2005 cause I played Uruguayan League) so you could get him for free, or pay 150k compensation like me

NAME: Enzo Giovanni Scorza
POSITION: SC
PREFERED FOOT: Left
AGE: 16
NATIONALITY: Uruguayan, with Italian passport
CLUB: Danubio
VALUE (that they will sell at): compensation of $250k
VERSION: Full Game
COMMENTS: At 16 yo he has 17 Agility, 16 Dribbling, 14 Agression, 14 Off the Ball, 14 Positioning, 13 Finishing, 13 Pace, and all physical stats, except Natural Fitness, over 11. Give him 1 or 2 years and try on. HE HAS ITALIAN PASSPORT, HE IS EU NATIONAL SINCE THE VERY BEGGINING.

EDIT: Thanks sky for checking Scorza's compensation

 

[sky.]

I am at Jan.4/2005 with ManU and Enzo Giovanni Scorza costs about 250k compensation. Nice find

 

[ngyc]

NAME: Xisco (Francisco Javier Munoz Llompart)
POSITION: F L
AGE: 23
NATIONALITY: Spain
CLUB: Valencia
VALUE: £2.4m
VERSION: Full Version
COMMENTS: fast, good dribbling, good determination and flair as well. cheap and nice

 

[NIDOKING]

First of all, sorry me if I'm posting too many uruguayans, but I'm playing that league

NAME: Sergio Orteman
POSITION: AM RC
AGE: 25 years
NATIONALITY: Uruguayan
CLUB: Olimpia (on loan at Independiente)
VALUE (that they will sell at): $50~150k
VERSION: Full Game
COMMENTS: You must wait until 30/6/2005 to have him, but is worth.

Maybe his technical stats are not so great (only Crossing and Passing are really good) but both Mental and Physical are very very good (talks abouts unrealistic, cause IRL he is far better at shooting, marking, tackling, and far worser at some physical stats, but well...)

For some strange reason his set value is 40k, and Olimpia wants to get rid of him, I waited til mid-season at Danubio, and first game = 2 assists, then, not so wonderful, but always getting 7 and 8 comforts me very well

Obviously he will do mamilas at First-rate european teams, but for medium/minor ones, and First-rate SouthAmerican teams, he'll be a good addition.

A final note, be sure to get an offer accepted BEFORE he returns to Olimpia, or you'll have to pay more than $500k, 10 times his real value.
