Josef Martinez career history until 2016
This FM 2014 player profile of Josef Martinez shows a cheap, athletic poacher able to get in behind. Martinez may not have the potential of say Fierro, but he’s got a good set of starting attributes and flexible potential that when maxed out makes him a deadly forward. I chose the screenshots above as they show Josef developing reasonably fast, he has become an all round striker with good technique, flair, off the ball movement and underlined by his excellent pace, agility and acceleration. For just £3.4 million you could even try him as an impact sub while you gauge just what he could become at your club.
