I need to play more often, it's taken less priority with FIFA 12 out

Didn't realise that Lukaku is able to make such an immediate impact at 17

CSTP - #10000 (U1453)

I rate Khouma Babacar from Fiorentina higher.

On 2010?

Isn't he on 2010? I am quite sure he is, an absolute beast of a player. at the beginning of the game he is at Fiorentina's U19 squad

supposedly called the new Drogba also check Yaya Sanogo.

In 2011 I chose to buy Connor Wickham instead of Sanogo and 10 seasons later Yaya went for 70m+ to Chelsea from Auxerre and he just can't stop scoring.

I have both Lukalu and Babacar and Babacar's stats and goal rate is much better.

Aged 17, 2.5* potential from all the reports I've been given.

Should be available for 5M.

Worth it?

Yip, get him. put him on a strict strikers regime, prolly either loan him or put him in the 1st team and you will have a monster in 3 years time

What does a strict strikers regime mean? Are you Gallic about training schedule?

Will do next time I go on
Also is Jovetic any good?

This season isn't going so well. I'm a few points off first place

Kroos and Hamsik aren't living up to my expectations. Both are still quite young tho

On the plus side, Dzeko is on fire

babacar is awesome. Sanogo gets awesome also as someone already said

I also currently have Bojan who's ok (Barca listed him for a cut price)

And a couple decent young strikers in my youth setup

So I'll try for Babacar but give Sanogo a miss

CSTP - #10000 (U1453)

Yeah I create my own schedules, so for strikers I concentrate on Aerobic, finishing, attacking and Tactics(I think)

I never had Jovetic....Real Madrid snapped him up and + I had youth players in his position.

Kroos is amazing, freekicks and long shots. Not sure about Hamsik as like Jovetic he ran off to Madrid.

Dzeko I never had any interest in. I usually play either 4-5-1/4-4-2 with pacy strikers as my set up suits that more.

Bojan is a good player(from my FM09-10) days but Barca are quite stingy in FM11 as Villa declines and Bojan becomes the star...I remember getting Messi on a free one year and sold him to Madrid after a season for 79m because he never lived up to expectation.

So you have Lukalu and Babacar? I always try to have three strikers and two players for every other position

my current strikers in my second season are

Drogba
Dzeko
Bojan
Lukaku
Di Santo

and soon to be Babacar

I'll loan out Di Santo in Jan as a number of teams want him and he's not as good as the other strikers. He's still a decent player tho and i could one day get a decent fee for him

Dzeko's a good target man. Zhirkov is superb at running down the touchline and crossing

I need another winger tho

I have Zhirkov and Di Maria who are very good
Hazard is still young and atm I'm trying to train him to becoming a better winger as it's not his natural position
Joe Cole is quite good but I can get 24M for him in Jan which is a lot for someone his age. Plus his stats may be very good but in matches he performs decent but nothing special. Furthermore, his stamina is poor so I always have to sub him whenever he starts

So yeah I'll definitely go for a pacey winger who can cross

CSTP

I am useless at my players crossing, for some absurd reason my FB's and Wingers would run and cut in and take long shots for no reason when it is better to just run the line and pass the ball. You don't know how many words I had with my players for doing rubbish only for the opposition to fly up the field and score

I have Srna who's supposed to be great going forward

who cares about defence?

oh and Ashley Cole wants out. I can't sell him cos he's awesome. Any good LBs out there to make an immediate impact?

Vargas from Fiorentina, Balzaretti(palermo I think) Cristico-Juve/Genoa, Cheillini(Juve),

All good enough to replace Cole? If so then that's great

as i said, next time i go on i'll check out all of them

Good enough-ish....Srna can play LB can he not? if anything you can try for Lahm

yaya sanogo on a free in summer 2012 on the new game guys.

I noticed on 2012 that alot of the higher rated players are now a bit lower...eg Lukaku. However why haven't they done anything with Morrison and Pogba????

Is McEachran good on 2012?

"touted as the next david dunn"

Newcastle have one "touted as the next michel platini" #winning

Next DAVID DUNNE?

What's his potential on his report card? Has to be 3* surely
