Sorry I can’t find either player on my game to check.
hey
darren do you know if saul at atletico madrid is good
He’s not improved in my saves I’m afraid, not worth investing in from what I’ve seen.
where is the shortlist ?
I haven’t mentioned a shortlist, this post includes a list of players where you can click their names to see a profile and more. There will be a downloadable shortlist in the future but not yet as I’m adding to the list every other day so need to wait until its complete.
Man, you are GOD!! this is what I believe most of people want. a list of good cheap players and not the wonderkid list with players so expensive.
Thank you so much man!
Thanks for the kind words Rui, I must admit this is an insane amount of work for one subject but its worthwhile when you see comments like that.
Darron Gibson from man utd is amazinly good picked him up for 1.4 and he scored 10 goals with an average rating of 7.34
Yeah he looks good this year and an all rounder too.
Darren could you take a look at Mickaël Nelson?
He plays for Babersberg team and is a young player, dirt cheap (bought him second season for AS Monaco for 16k pounds!) and has the potential to become a good Ligue 1 player according to my assistant and best scout Buisine
In the team/scout report he is only half a star behind Jean-Armel Kana Biyik in terms of PA (he is 2 star CA/3.5 star PA while Kana Biyik is 4 star CA/4 star PA)
Sorry mate he’s not on my future save.
Darwin Quintero…got this off another website….this man is a beast…cost between 2 – 3 mill…he will score u goals….
I can’t find him in my game I’m afraid…I always load a medium database to make sure I’m not showing players that some gamers can’t see themselves.
Quintero is terrible! Brought him to Celtic, biggest flop i’ve ever signed!
Santos Laguna Mexico is who he plays for, pacey decent attributes and young
Cheers for Quintero, my god what a player. signed him for my glasgow rangers team and 25g/33goals 12assists and 9 mom. all for £1.1m!!!!!!
oryt mate just wondering if you could take a look at Ryan,Jack Fraser Fyvie and Jonny , Hayes
Sorry with all the comma’s looking out of place I don’t know which players you’re asking about. Other than Fyvie but he never develops to be world class in my game.
Hey Darren….great job!
Just wondering how does vitinho do in the future?
Vitinho gets quite good but like many not what I’d class as world class, probably good enough for mid-table teams which is short of what you look for in potential.
Atsuto Uchida – Okayama F. C – RB/ WB(R)
Pretty decent player at 1 mill, boasting over 12 attributes with 15 or more, 23 y old.
Kyle Naughton(RB) and Granero(CDM) is available for £800k and £1mill respectively after 1 season. Those are pretty decent players me think. Naughton is a cheap bastard, but Granero has a craving for money salary-wise though.
Atsuto Uchida is pretty good but has already signed for Schalke at the start of the game and therefore not as cheap. Naughton is also decent for the price but costs more at start of the game and Granero costs too much from the very start to be in the cheap list. Thanks for sharing mate, will take a proper look later.
Robert Feczesin and Adam Vass from Brescia are great. You can get them for 7-900.000.
Vass should already be on the list but I’ll check Feczesin, cheers.
Oh yes. Vass is on the list. Sorry, my bad. Gaetano Berardi from Brescia is also good player
Oh, and Enis Hajri, u can get him for 240.000. And he is a good defender
Thanks for the tips I’ll look at them later.
ziguy badibanga is not a bad sign
Sorry but he’s not on my game.
hi darren, how does monty gimpel (Leeds) turn out please.
Decent but certainly not worth buying IMO.
can you compile a list of players that are best for the championship? would be immensly grateful!
I’ll have to look into that, it may be a little tough time wise but if I can do it right then I will.
can you give me 2019 profile for zakaria labyad and julian wiessmeier?
Both players didn’t develop due to lack of first team football in my simulated game that reached 2019, however, I have reached 2016 in my Malaga save so here are their profiles from that.
http://footballmanagerstory.com/scout/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/fm-2012-profile-labyad-2016-profile.png
http://footballmanagerstory.com/scout/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/fm-2012-profile-wiebmeier-2016-profile.png
Thank you very much for your info
Your a complete and utter legend Darren…
Thanks James, appreciate the compliment.
Take a look at Tijani Belaid (24) from APOEL. Right winger having 18 for freekick taking, 17 for finishing and first touch, 16 for corners and technique, and 15 for dribbling and crossing. Bought him for 750k. Total bargain for me.
And also John Fleck from Rangers, 4 years younger than Belaid but, already has 16 for crossing, dribbling, long shots, and technique; 15 for corners, first touch, passing, and penalty taking, and; 14 for finishing and free kick taking. Bought him 2.7m.
Both of them were bought by me in my 2nd season of Sheffield Wednesday game which they already have been promoted to the Championship.
I tried to check out Belaid in my future save but he’s not available…will keep an eye out in other saves for him. I agree with Fleck, he’s an excellent player and will probably get profiled when I finally get some more time.
okay, so can you give me the future profile of John Fleck please?
I will do eventually when things quieten down and I have released some other profiles that are on the back burner yes.
any chance of scouting asian/south american/african/minor european league? i think there must be some bargains there
I already am but will never load those leagues up, I’ll only scout for what shows within the leagues without the actual country loaded. No one has all of those leagues loaded so it would rather spend my time scouting where I know people can find players.
i actually wanna do the pentagon challange like ana garcia did, any player or club recommendation?
Well the Pentagon challenge could take you anywhere and the point of it is to start unemployed so I can’t really recommend a club or player as it’ll depend on what offers you receive.
diego oliveira
starts on loan at suwon originally at noroeste
only 21
you can get him for €160k
i bought him for sydney fc and he got sold to napoli(as an important first team player) after i resigned from sydney fc for 4 million €
Thanks for the recommendation, he does look quite good but theres a lot more better options available.
Torassa, 30k CA scores goals for fun at championship level.
Sorry mate but I can’t find this guy in any of my saves.
Could you check how Thiago from Barcelona turns out, i’ve got him on loan, want to see if hes worth buying. Thanks.
Already done mate, he’ll be in the ultimate player list and wonderkid list.
Can you check Jack Robinson, Jon Flanagan and Danny Wilson? They should be on a medium database.
I just wanna see how they do at Liverpool
I won’t be doing Flanagan and Wilson/Robonson have already been done and can be found within the wonderkids list.
Antonio Inutile Lara very interesting player as STRIKER who is out of contract at the very moment. player number 10. yrs 26.
the link for his skills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU3yDACKOkI
Copied and pasted the name into all my saves but he’s not on any I’m afraid.
Striker at the moment without a contract. Player number 10. Playes for Premier league for over 6 years. Antonio Inutile Lara. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU3yDACKOkI
how about Mouche from Boca, 23 yrs old and available for 130k only. A competitive poacher in championship level, even mid-class in EPL
Sorry can’t find him in my future saves to profile.
I would also recommend three more players from Tromsø / Tromso in Norway.
- Ruben Yttergård Jensen, CM
- Remi Johansen, CM
- Thomas Drage, CAM
All are cheap, probably for less than 1.5 mill.
Jensen is already in the list above but I can’t see the other two to scout I’m afraid.
hi guys, i have added a few players to my shortlist in FM2012… how do i view my shortlist??
Just click on your name at the top of the page in game, then the ‘search’ and click the bottom option which is ‘shortlists’ You can find it from there if you’ve saved it.
Thanks mate, found it., also a little recommendation for you, Pajtim Kasami, i feel he is a real good player, scored 21 goals in the SPL from attacking centre position
Certainly looks good for the SPL but I don’t see him doing much in Europe and top teams, then again he may not have developed much in my game.
Lucas Digne (DL) from Lille has great potential – available for under 3 million
He looks quite good but not visible in my future save and I can’t profile him without a future profile pic.
does gianni bruno turn out any good
Dude, many many thanks. Great that someone took the time to save everyone else the effort of trawling through the lists. Not that I haven’t enjoyed that in the past!!! Once again, cheers mate!
No problem mate, hope it helps.
Hey Darren,
Just been catching up on a few of the profiles, great stuff!
You got a reccomendation for a solid cheap striker who could be used as squad player for a team like barca, playing three up front? 2x def st and 1x treq, was considering Willian and changing his position
Cheers
Depends on what you class as cheap and if you want someone to hit the ground running. If you can wait a little I’d suggest the likes of Fierro and Erick Torres (Torres scored 20 goals for me with Newcastle in his first season.)
Have you had a look at Marco Capuano from Pescara? He has decent stats to start and is rather cheap. Does he develop into anything good?
He does look very handy in the start and I can see him developing nicely with the right management but I haven’t seen a good enough future profile yet so can’t report on him. Although that is more than likely due to the poor CPU management as opposed to his talent, but I can only do a profile with a great future image.
darren u starting to piss me off
And why is that, I can’t correct the issue or address if you don’t tell me what it is.
a forward called Kermit Erasmus at Sunsport Utd can be picked up for 120k and looks quite good.
Fredy montero starts at Seattle can be picked up for 2mill and has stats of 16 finishing at start.
I am interested in finding out how stefan Bell of Mainz II in germany, a mate of mine recommended him, saying his value goes massive after a season, does he ever turn out to be a superstar?
Good work matey!!
Kermit doesn’t seem to develop into anything special, a decent signing especially at the price but not for any top teams. As for Montero he is good and worth the cash but I don’t have a good enough future profile of him to warrant a write up. Then I cannot find Bell in any of my future saves I’m afraid.
Hi Darren,
I cannot find Baskim Kadrii anywhere from OBD, i play with Ajax right now and he’s quite good.
4,5 star player.
Greetzz
While he looks fairly talented I haven’t got a future save in which he’s made big enough strides and without a good future profile I can’t write about him unfortunately.
hey mate . am after some good signings for newcastle could you help me out
Yeah of course, I’m a toon fanatic and finished 3rd in my first season so here’s my signings during the first season. Erick Torres (ST) scored 20 goals, Marco Verratti for rotation (CM), Kara (CB) best player to sign in FM12, Yttergard Jensen who made incredible improvements (CM), Vrsaljko best RB in my opinion and Vaclav Kadlec to rotate with Torres. Ow and also Andrile Jali (CM) he is a good cheap player.
Hi darren, i did about 6 seasons with galatasaray and during the 2nd year i bought cenk tosun, he aqcuired 19 finishing and 15 pace and scored 43 goals in 40 games, however he is a bit on the pricey side, maybe about 5 mil. speaking of pricey, i also transferred leandro from gremio for 10m, he scores like crazy but nothing improves apart from his pace which is off the charts. is that normal for him? cheers
Hi mate,im also managing newc…and doing great…took some players list and sined xherdan shaqiri,cris brunt… got sturridge and bridge on loan
You should check francis massampu…great poacher especially when he is playn against top teams…but dosent has top player atributes
Can’t even find him, unless you haven’t spelled his name right.
He plays for valenciennes,currenty in reserves…
I think you need the large database or French leagues loaded to see him.
Adam Hlousek
Not really good enough in my future saves I’m afraid.
can anybody off some names for a good cm player for the championship, im going to have about 2 million to spend, have to consider that im doncaster rovers, so i wont have much appeal to players
I don’t know who would move or not, so its kind of pointless guessing names…though one to definitely try is Bressan if he’ll move, he plays for BATE and I saw someone managing West Ham sign him.
sign renikwe letsholonyane from kaizer chiefs for 170k mate very good player i am a fan of doncaster and sign him
Will take a look thanks
Hi Darren, could you recommend me the chip good players for small team with small database?
I would recommend all the players above without a more specific question, you’d have to search for them to see if you have access as I don’t use a small database.
Conor McAleny, everton. what u think?
He looks pretty bad in my future saves I’m afraid.
these guys are for teams with 3 star reputation or so;
emre can – bayern münchen pa: 160
*if you are quick ; you can buy him for 240k, else man utd gets him for 2.4m. oh; you have to wait till the january!
zargo touré – USBCO pa:160
*600k; good dm; lacks strength, decent skills, mental attributes.
andile jali – orlando pirates pa:158
*1m; dm,mc,am. his offensive skills are a not excellent, otherwise good stats. he develops ultra-fast!
ja-cheol ku – wolfsburg pa:155
*1.2-1.7m (sale price got modified after patches i guess). physical att around 10-12 or so; but awesome mental and technical skills.
murtaz daushvili – zestaponi pa:144
*800k. dont be fooled by pa; he phys. skills are low, but has awesome skills in other departments. also; low wage.
note to the above comment; most of the pa’s are not fixed, -at least didnt verify them- (except ja-cheol ku and daushvili)
emre can oscillates between 160-178 pa with the same price.. wtf?
Thanks for all the recommendations. They look like good options for teams outside the top four etc.
Osvaldo, from Ceará, and Wallyson, from Cruzeiro are also great players
Thanks will take a look at them.
hey darren mate would you be able to recomend an players for n power league 1 teams?
Afraid not, we just scout for the top divisions but I’d recommend this shortlist for that http://www.footballmanagerstory.com/2011/10/the-very-best-free-players-in-football-manager-2012/
Darren Who ‘ better Alex Sandro or Jack Robinson ???
I’d say that Sandro is better if you prefer attacking full backs but Robinson is a better long term investment if you want a defensive full back.
good and really cheap players:
Mohammad Awal/kotoko/dc/60k/19
Lucas Andersen/AaB/amr,amc,mc/1,5M/16
Willyan Mimbela/universitario/575k/19
Osnar Noronha/Peru/juan aurich/1,5M/aml/19
Jorge Enriquez/Mexico/Chivas/1,6M/Dm/20
Thanks will take a look later at them.
how about joe lewis …
Same as Barazite, he’s a little short for the list I’m afraid.
darren im starting a new journey in turkey any recommended plsyers under the 4 million mark
I wouldn’t have a clue who is available to Turkish sides and it would depend on other factors too, so would suggest looking through this list and seeing who’s available and who you like, all the info is here but you need to see who is available.
just wondering what team do you support
Newcastle but I also support my local side Scarborough though haven’t seen them play for a while.
not the biggest fan of Newcastle what’s your favorite Scottish team ??
I don’t support Scottish Football.
must like 1 more than the other ( celtic or rangers )
Like I said I just don’t follow Scottish football at all so I have no feelings towards either if I’m honest.
jeffreson bith is sick (means awesome)and also cheep
I have never heard of that player and I can’t find him through any searches, are you sure he’s not a regen?
thats a very good list, im also a newcastle fanatic and i managed to win to premier league first season with a few of those players star performers being wilfried, vass and kana-biyik, but theres one player thats a favourite of mine thats not on your list and thats ecuele manga, just search for manga, i think he plays for lorient in france, was my star player, average rateing of 7.80 over 2 season! also christian eriksen can be picked up for 6.5m in the first window if he gets no game time preseason for ajax, so worthwhile keeping an eye out.
Maybe though you should consider adding worthwhile first season loans to your list, i won the premier league first season but it wasnt my signings it was my loans that won the league for me, they were
daniel sturridge
gabriel torje
younes belhanda
yacine brahimi
gaston ramirez
sturridge, torje and belhanda were absolute revelations, always sign them on any save first season, but they are all very very good for very little cost, so worth a mention
Thanks I will take a look at them.
and im aware some of those loans are on your list but i was just saying that you can loan them and save more money
also a little known fact, but you can pick up a world class RB for 8m first season, 0 upfront, if you buy fernandinho from porto, a DM, and retrain him to RB, was and still is my best player over the course of 6 seasons, really worth a look, the fact that you can sign him for 0 upfront means he is a definate purchase for me first window in any game
sorry fernando not fernandinho
could you take a look at adryan, and if he is worth buying he plays for flamengo
HOW BOUT PALOSCHI..AVERAGE SCORING 20 PLUS PER SEASON
He is a good player and may get a profile, but we’re in the process of updating the site so there will be no more new profiles for a while.
Spas Delev, don’t remember club, but he is cheap and scores a lot of goals, got him cheap, and he is good!
I’ll take a look later thanks.
Lucas Andersen of Aalborg BK (AAB) in Denmark, is an absolute must buy, hé is 16 Wien the game starts, and you can get him for around 1,0 mill. €.. Bought him for my Paris S.G, and actually challenges Pastore within 2/3 years.. And also Viktor Fischer from Ajax
Sorry I cannot see him in patch 12.2 which suggests you need the Danish leagues loaded for in that patch.
Yes of course, didnt think of that.. then what about Viktor Fischer from Ajax?
He wont be cheap though..
He could be talented but I haven’t seen him develop enough in any of my saves and as always I can’t profile him without the good future profile.
niang turns out be awsum bought him from french side (easy way find starts on french under 21 or under 19 side) he is 16 bought him for man city around 7 mill in first season now in fourth season now best striker in prem leauge and europe scored 40 goals season 3 and the 4th scored 50 in all compatitions well worth it
He certainly is a good player, we’ve already profiled him on the wonderkid list.
my paloschi scored 30 in his first season, 20 plus in second season, 59 in his third season and in his 4th sesaon he scored 51 goals..
That certainly is a great strike record.
Hi Darren, top work mate. Some of the players I have got from these lists have turned out to be amazing so well done and thanks!
Was just wondering about how Jelle Vossen turns out? He has some decent stats and you can get him pretty cheap (about £2m). Thanks.
Thanks Mike, as for Vossen we are profiling him soon.
Spas Delev M/AMRL/ST/ /1M/ /21/
Thanks for the recommendation, but he’s not grown into anything in any of my games unfortunately, so can’t profile him without a good future profile.
Oliver Markoutz?Bochum,LW
Andrea Bertolacci?Roma,CM
Andy Polo?Universitario,FW
Alex Sandro?Porto,LB
Markoutz isn’t visible in my saves
Bertolacci is already in the list above
Andy Polo is nowhere near good enough
And Alex Sandro has already been profiled but shown in the wonderkids list as he isn’t cheap.
hey, i’m quite new to football manager, is there a reason hardly any of these players are appearing for me? i’ve searched them all and around a quarter are actually there. the players you have rated highly such as fierro and jenssen don’t seem to be in my game. is there something i have to change in the settings or something?
Thats because you need to load a ‘medium or lareg database’ when starting a new game. Basically when you start a new game there are options to choose the leagues and countries that are playable. Within the same screen at the bottom you choose what size the database is, you need at least a medium database to say most talents.
Jackson Martinez is an insane striker with good all round attributes, you can sign him for around 2.7 mil usually in first season and he will bag you goals at any club. he plays for Jaguares from Mexico so he will be on the large database
While he looks good I can’t see him challenging for a place in any top four club to be honest.
look for robert snodgrass AMRL from leeds untd.hes doing awesome year for me.average rat 7.45 and 12 assists and 8 goals.
Unfortunately he isn’t quite of the standard we’re looking for in this list but a good player for those Championship and lower EPL sides.
this needs to be updated and some player will have to be removed – you can’t buy Andile Jali for 300k, he is worth 2.1m on patch 12.2 and was worth that on the patch before.
Same with Tsahbalala
That is not correct, you must have the South African league loaded because with the major European leagues loaded and a medium or large database this list is factual for patch 12.2 and I just checked Jali, he is worth £350K, this may be different if you have the league he plays in loaded though…I updated a few weeks back so nothing needs doing…one or two players that were profiled before may not be visible with medium database anymore but there’s no point in deleting them as not everyone has the update.
pos borw na fiaxw dikia mou omada?
Sorry this is an English speaking site only.
hiya Darren i’m Cardiff City and on my first season can u suggest any good signings that wil get me promotion i’m 10 games in top of the league my team is Marshall Taylor Tomkins Alex Pearce Mcnaughton Whittingham David Bentley Liam Lawrence Aaron Gunnarson Heidar Helgusson and Simon Cox can u tell em any good players too sign as back ups
Unfortunately I can’t really suggest anyone as I generally scout players for the top flight and haven’t managed in the Championship so not sure who is available. But I’d recommend downloading this shortlist http://www.footballmanagerstory.com/2011/10/the-very-best-free-players-in-football-manager-2012/ as it can provide some good free alternatives.
What do you think about Junior Hoilett from Blackburn? He only has 1 year left on his contract and definitely has an eye for a goal in real life.
He’s really talented and worth looking at if the price is right or he’s still available come the seasons end.
Carlos fierro, get him on a pre-contract at the start of the game as hes only 16, compensation 1.6mill but well worth it. Develops into a goal King. scored 16 in 11 games for me
I know, we have already profiled him and he should be in the list above, great player.
Also just started a new file with Newcastle. Only got 3 million but need wingers and centre midfielders any recomendations
Jenssen and Andile Jali for CM…as for wingers you’ll struggle to get anyone of a good quality on such a budget unless Joel Valencia can get a work permit but he’s only for the future.
Great suggestions Darren, great young player Elkesson, costs a bit but worth every penny, bagged 20+ goals from AMC position for Swansea.
Sorry Jon I can’t find a player by that name, what team is he with? Could be one of those players that only shows with the specific country loaded.
Sorry mate Elkesson playing at botafogo
Still can’t see which means he isn’t visible in patch 12.2 as I have the Brazilian league loaded also. Are you sure he isn’t a regen or that you see him in an earlier patch?
Yeah mate 22yr old AMC Elkeson at botafogo definitely on 12.2. Sorry try spelling with 1 S in his name.
Found him, he is a good player and looks like he can improve but unfortunately he hasn’t been developed well in my future saves and without a good future profile we can’t report on a player.
Also, Bryan Rabello from Colo Colo, Tobias Figueiredo from Sporting CP are good cheap players, I believe!
Rabello is not visible in my saves in patch 12.2 and Figueiredo just hasn’t improved enough.
Hey Darren,
Just want to say thanks for an amazing job with all the player profiles you have done! It is really helpful and much appreciated
Regards

Thanks for the the kind words Shiraz, we’re just happy to help.
ignacio piatti around 800/900K good winger then again im blackpool in championship. best place to be
He would never make the top flight list but would be a good signing for any Championship side.
looking for something special for championship. someone unknown ?
I’d suggest Petter Moen, Soukouna, Bruins. Rubbo, Rekish and Pierre Wome.
i cheat i just click “add new manager” on the save menu, then add a team with LOADS of money(man city hav about 70m) and buy 1 of my reserves for all their budget!
The game would get very boring far too quickly for me doing that, but everyone has their own way of enjoying I guess.
