    A Chelsea reserve called Mancienne is a pretty good prospect for a defender. I think he can be gotten fairly cheaply, but i'm not sure as i play as Chelsea.

    i managed to get Chiellini pretty cheap too, he was transfer listed... solid player for around the 10 - 15 mark. can't remember what it was. just keep anj eye out for oddities like that, they always come around.
    I'm actually managing England in 2012 now, and Mancienne is my starting DC. He's an absolute ROCK.
    Also in Chelsea reserves- Ben Sahar, I'd recommend.

    Anyone know any good left wingers for when you start the game? I've seen some of the youngsters in that position on this thread and they look fantastic but they will take a while to develop. I'm managing Spurs so probably in the price range of £1-9m.

    I usually stick to Gamst Pedersen in that price range, or else Samir Nasri (he can play left too)

    yeah Chelsea have a feckton of good youth. Sinclair is also good. he can play on the left too so if you can pick him up cheaply he's a good buy. i'm a bit miffed though, i kinda let Mancienne fester a bit in my game, there'll be be no callup for him anytime soon and it's 2011 but he's still excellent cover for Richards and Terry.

    If your looking for a good, strong centre back look no further than Christopher Samba from Blackburn. Price £1-2 million.

    Henri saivet is out of contract at the start of the season and you only have to pay 500k for him he's now worth 9 mill already by 2009.

    If you look at Henri saivet's favoured personel you will find mamadou sakho a young rock solid defender for 450k

    Lulinha awesome but he will come when he's 18 for 1.8 mill

    Hatem Ben Arfa good from the start but not cheap

    Karim Benzema good but also very expensive

    Carlos Vela a hard one to snap up with him being on loan until he reaches his full potiantial when Arsenal take him back and won't sell him

    Kahlenberg very versitille and good goal scorer

    Pierre Ducasse strong Dm also good in the air

    anyone got any very cheap talent 100k ?

    Scot sinclair when to my school and his brother Jake sinclair who is in the year below me is class and is said to have more potiantial than his brother one to watch out for just wait

    Ralph Hammouti, young Dutch forward. Should cost about £95k+sell on clause. Becomes a wonderful player.

    Samuel Armenteros, young Swedish forward. Costs virtually nothing and can make an immediate impact.

    Simon Wagner, young Belgian goalie. Costs about 40k. Becomes a great keeper by age 19 (bear in mind goalies reach their peek in the game aged 31!)

    S. Kantarci, young Turkisk defender/wing back left/centre. Can be trained into a very good left winger. Costs about 60k.

    One player I've never heard recommended is a Belgian GK, Sinan Bolat...

    Unsure where he starts off (not at laptop now) but I got him in Jan 2011 for my Nottm Forest side (now in Premiership, thank you). He came via Sparta Prague & Rosenborg but after noticing that my coaches regarded him better than my current no. 1 Joe Hart I threw him in, and in Jan 2012 he was voted 3rd in European Goalkeeper of the year behind Ustari & Casillas, after exactly one year in my team! He has shored things up at the back in a big way and gets MoM once every 3-4 games.

    A giant prospect I reckon, and best of all he's only 24!

    Charles Andre Doudin is another cracking signing, costs about 190k at the start of the game, worth 5 million inside 2 seasons

    If you are just starting a new game and have £5.5 mil to spend, Alan Kardec. The best buy I have ever made. Bought him at 18, now 21 and an absolute goal machine.

    Big centre forwards and wins almost every ball crossed into the box and 8 times outta 10 he puts them aways.

    So far this season 29 goals in 25 games 22 of those in the league and its only January.

    do you guys not start with forming a totally new club ?

    I formed Tallaght FC, I'm in year 2018/2019 and i'm top of the Championship. Only half way through the season tho.

    started in Div 2 I got promoted the 1st season i played. hung around in div 1 for a few years.. then moved up.. about 4 seasons of nearly getting religated but then i got some good players and was around mid table.. Came second in i think year 2013 and got promoted to Champ, been here a few years.. and as i said i'm top at the moment ;)

    If u can buy Stancu and Torje, both romanian. Stephan Ireland sometimes becomes available. Loans are prob your best bet though....Liverpool usually have good players in reserve, as do arsenal.
