The greatest player I have ever encountered

bamboozling

I was thinking guys maybe we could all use this thread to talk about their favourite or best player in their games. Here's my guy;

Ladies and gentlemen I present you Manuel Tews an absolute legend of the CM08 game I'm still playing and am starating season 2027/2028. This guy is a hero. The best right back ever. I'll give you the stats and let you judge for yourself.

He's now 35, signed for Liverpool aged 17, spent a season with the reserves, then a season on loan at Man City and from the age of 19 has played every season with Liverpool ever since, now beginning his 16th season as a first team regular.

818 competitive first team appearences for Liverpool and 30 goals. 513 league appearences and 19 league goals. 138 caps for Germany and 5 goals.

He has won:

Leagues; 9. 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, 2027
Fa Cup; 12. 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2025, 2027
League Cup; 4. 2014, 2017, 2021, 2022.
Champions League; 5. 2016, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2025.
5 super cups, 5 club world cups, 8 community shields.
World cup; 2022 runner up

Individually; 11 time English players team of the season. 2 winner of European defender of the year

He's been my captain with 11 years now, he's rarely injured. What I also love about the guy is that he has never once considered leaving. He has never felt the need to seek a new challenge and whetever I say in the media he always sides with me. I love the guy.

There's definitely another season of top quality in him. After that I'm not so sure. Next season he'll be 36 and 37 in November. He's still got brilliant attributes but he's slowly getting worse. I don't want to be sentimental and keep playing just because I like the guy. Hopefully we'll put him out to grass after this season. His only flaw is that he won't consider staying in football after he retiers because if he did I would make him my assistant straight away!

But my best player ever was Aghahowa in 01/02
A beast!

Oh ye Mark Kerr and Agahowa were brilliant, D'Alessandro and the River keeper, was it Costanzo or something like that, all brilliant. Keigan Parker was another in Scotland who was very good. Pawel Brozek was another nice forward too.

A quick google search for Maxim Tsigalko and looks like a lot of people have had success with him

:pac:

chap called Tó Maderia or something if i remember, portugeezer, bangs in goals for fun, get him for around 80k first season in 01-02

razorblunt

CM3 there was a guy called Fahad Mehallal who was a machine at scoring bought for around 300k he was 28 or so though so you wouldnt get long out of him.

My favourite ever though was Carl Laure RB/LB bought from non league when he was 16, what an asbolute gem, like the OP would stay for his career never making a fuss.

There was also a midfielder I got on a free from Sunderland as cover stats werent great performances werent great but Inter bought him off me for £27million...which was nice! Can't remember his name think he was Argentinean!

Great player alright, did you see this though

Fictional players

The first release of the game included a player named "Tó Madeira", a great striker no matter where he played. It was later revealed that Tó Madeira was not a real footballer, but in fact a fictional player created by a scout working for the game producers. Later releases of the game included more fictional players, such as the "Crazy Greeks" Alexandros Papadopoulos, Anastasios Skalidis and Nikolaos Tobros.

Julio Arca was it?? Unreal around CM 3/4

Irishcrx

Think it was in CM 4 or so, a guy called Bjorn Zwikker was in the Ajax youth team, signed him for a 1 or 2 million and my god, he was a scoring machine, became the best striker in the game and banged in 50 a season for me year in year out...

stryker mcqueen

Mads Jorgenson was a fine player a few years back !! cheap as chips too , could do it at every level !

Timistry

For me, it has to be this kid called Daniel Braathen in cm03/04. He was originally from a little club called Skaed in Norway. I heard about him on cm forums so i started a new game with man utd, loaded the league and found him. Cost 80k as far as i remember. Stats were around that of a mid/lower table striker. Average pace, 14ish first touch/finishing/composure etc. So nothing special on paper but could the lad play :eek: Just literally scored for fun. 40+ a season for about 4 years. So many hattricks and wondergoals. It was mental

I bought adu and guarin aswell. I found that adu sometimes did not reach his full potential or I could not play him enough. Guarin was a great backup on the right and had a knack for banging in 40 yard screamers!

No, not Julio, though he was quality, I think it was something like Mendez.

-EDIT- it was Nicolas Medina!

McGeady is the best winger in the uk in FM 2010 !!! quality for me ...turning down 30 million bids from madrid and barcelona every window ....luckily he is loyal !

koHd

Skalidis!!

Ridiculous lad that would average a hat-trick a game once you figured out how to deploy him. Silly stuff

focus_mad

Gabriel Batistuta

LEGEND....THAT IS ALL

Peadar_85

Franco Zuculini is a bit of a hero in FM 2009. Bought him for 850k from Racing Club as an 18 year old.

Dionisis Chiotis

--Mike Duff---Ibrahim Said----Taribo West----Andriy Milevsky---

Mark Kerr

Kim Kallstrom

Andres D'Alessandro

Julius Aghahowa

Maxim Tsigalko

Cherno Samba

(Kallstrom and D'Alessandro beside Kerr in the centre but with attacking arrows forward)

Very very good team on a budget. All those players will be shortlisted or bidded on as soon as I started a game.

tallaghtmick

champ manager 00/01 john o flynn and daniel nardiello absolute legends when trained right

Aghahowa was always first on my list!

Kerr became the best player in the game most times if you played it long enough, and at an absolute bargain!

Dillonb3

From the old Championship manager 2001/02 the players mentioned in 8-10's team plus most of the players playing for Belarus teams, Selakovic from Sweden and To madeira can be acquired cheaply enough

No he was a forward, came from Atalanta, was lethal!

The only Toni I ever bought, was Luca Toni

oh yeh i remember him now great signing for celtic ha

Reganio 2

My best signing would probably be Kevin Doyle for Chelsea in FM05, did a game starting unemployed and after 5 seasons or something ended up at Chelsea, brought him in and played up front with David Villa (The chelsea boss had brought him in for 50 mil 3 days before he was sacked

.

Between the 2 of them they tore the league apart, Doyle setting up more than scoring but had something like 30 assists by the end of the season. Miss that game

Andri Sigporsson, i shouldnt need to say anymore to CM veterans.

Carl Laurie from crewe,left back-CM 3

Bought for £150k ended up england captain valued at £18m

Ah memories............

Crackle

On the first FM I bought Sneijder for Milan from Ajax and he was just unreal. He scored a crazy amount of goals from 25+ yards out.

On FM2010 Fredrico Laurito developed into a goal machine for me.
