FM12: Bargain Buys

Dempsey

I start the game with no first window budgets so my prices maybe off but these guys must be still well work scouting.

Ivan Stoyanov (~300k & 5k p/w would get him)

Anderson Martins (~50k & 5k p/w would get him)

These are both EPL standard players, obviously not elite players but for that sort of money you cannot go wrong imo

And once again, Haris Medunjanin (~1.1m & 25k p/w) is the type of player that can run games if you setup your team around him, slight downgraded in FM12 but still a tour de force for that money

Douglas Costa is a snip at 7m, will become a leading EPL player within 18 months

Cost me 11m!

New game, got him for 9m!

James Tompkins, centre back from West Ham for five million or maybe a bit under
Will turn into a leading CB for a Premiership team. Ok not a bargain but he's the kind of player you'll keep for years and can still sell at a profit

Mentioned in the other thread, Pablo Counago, a free agent and a great signing for any Blue Square or League Two team.
Will bang in the goals

Found a few

Felipe Anderson 18yrs CM/AMC Cost 5.25million
Around 4.5k per week wages quality player as good as Essien

Leandro 18yrs Striker Cost 9milliion
Around 19k per week wages key player as good as Doumbia\Drogba

Seydou Doumbia 23yrs striker Cost 18million
Around 50k week wages, key player as Drogba

Lenny Nagis 17yrs striker Cost 2.4million
Around 1.7k week wages quality player

Mbaye Niang 16yrs striker Cost 5million
Around 12.5k week wages key player

Milan Badelj 22yrs Cost 1.9million centre midfield
Around 22k wages good player

I'm playing as a Russian first division team with eff all wage budget. My scouts tell me these guys are great buys but I cant afford them with their wage demands. Maybe someone else can try them and see if the scouts are right. If they are, they are absolute steals.

Jeferson - £70k, £475 PW. 22 year old AM. Some of his attritubes are hidden but he has about seven of them up around the 14 mark.
Ramon - £55k, £525 PW. 22, LM. Not as many high's as Jeferson but he does have 17 for agression, 16 for technique and 15 for creativity. A good few 12/13's too.

There are more but they look the best value for money that I dont have

Good players for Championship\League 1


Stephen Jordan – left back on a free transfer
Stuart Parnaby – right back on a free transfer
David Kasnick – NK Olimija, Slovenian central defender
Brian Montenegro – Tacuary FBC. 18 year old Paraguay striker
Filip Kiss – Slovakian midfielder

Dempsey

Another personal favourite still is quality. He's now at the club just under a year and he's probably now very near his full potential. Doesnt need a work permit, he's Italian also. For €3m and €17.5k p/w I dont think you can get much better value for money ball playing centre back than this.

Yakult

Anyone able to throw up a snapshot of Marco Verratti from Pescara and Tom Cairny from Hull? They were great prospects in 11, grow into solid players so Im hoping the same this year!

Dempsey

I had Verratti in a couple of versions myself and although I knew of Crainey, I never signed him in a game.



A CM - Advanced Playmaker/Attack that isnt a Team Player



A DM - Deep Lying Playmaker/Support with poor Marking

With a good tutor and some individual training they could become very good players though

Cheers! Still looking like I will buy them first season.
Cairney is brilliant imo. I had Gerrard and Kaka tutor[= him (and Verratti) for 3 years and he's technique and creativity grew immensely. Was getting assists every time he played. He was a cheap player too, even at 26 he was only on 30k

Both are crying out for a tutor but I dont think they are FM11 level with that.

You have to install the game and prove us all wrong....:)

Couple of young guys who develop well in my otherwise very expensive Chelsea team

Signed him for United through scouting network in FM11 and also signed him in FM12, excellent player

Check out Andile Jali and Kara at the start of the game. Jali can be bought for £375k and can turn into a good Premier League player within a year. Kara can be bought for around a million and can turn into a leading Premier League player.

Anybody know of any cheap ish DM that can play of decent premier league standard. Need one as back up seeing as the virtual realm has taken Lucas from my team much like real life has for Liverpool

Its an option in the preferences. Basically you can assign a picture to that unique ID but I dont know why people bother enabling the ID unless they are actively involved in the making of facepacks etc.
