CrazySauer 10 Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I'm looking for an easy way to add some midfield talent to my Ajax team in order to become more competitive in the top division in my championship. By "easy" I mean through players that are on unpopular teams, or external teams because all of the big name clubs and top prospects are pretty much taken already, it's challenging. I've come up with a few prospects I could probably get without many problems, and would like any input you can give me on the future of these players (specifically their SM ratings, but I do like hearing about them as well) LAVEZZI - Estudiantes MONTOLIVO - Fiorentina HULK - FC Porto JAVETIC - Fiorentina RAMIRES - Chelsea? (Not currently with Chelsea in my Game World) Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pitung Drughi 1,790 Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Re: Adding (Rising) Midfield Talent... if you want a lower rated; Davy Propper Luca Marrone El Shaarawi Limbombe Alberto Perea Gundogan Higher rated; Henderson Moussa Sissoko Ronald Vargas Phil Jones K.P.Boateng Andrea Poli Radja Nainggolan Bruno Cesar Holtby CrazySauer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrazySauer 10 Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Re: Adding (Rising) Midfield Talent... Thanks for the feedback guys, definitely have some more names to look into now. A lot of those players have already been snapped up, which is what's making this much more challenging. (ie Kroos, P Jones, Sissoko, Gervinho, even Honda! etc) I also have a few names you guys have suggested, so at least I know I'm headed in the right direction. I have Pastore, Propper, Hazard and a few others that I think are set to rise over the coming seasons. Thanks again guys, and if you can think of any more suggestions I'll take them!

Aitken123 1,357 Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Re: Adding (Rising) Midfield Talent... Try N. Sahin, S. Bender, S. Kagawa CrazySauer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrazySauer 10 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Re: Adding (Rising) Midfield Talent... Try N. Sahin' date=' S. Bender, S. Kagawa[/quote']Think Sahin will be due for a rise (to over his current 90 rating) in the next German review? I know the Borussia Dortmund stars are really shining this season, thought about picking up Hummels but I like Bender as well. I don't believe Kagawa is available.

Think Sahin will go to 91? I checked his stats, he's playing well but not exactly lighting things on fire... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paul_tisdale 224 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Re: Adding (Rising) Midfield Talent... I'll focus on the options you mentioned as everyone else have been suggesting other players... Ramires still has rise potential as long as he settles at Chelsea, I definitely wouldn't rule him out, Chelsea's poor form would hinder any new player to such a competitive league. Jovetic has huge potential, he's just been injured this season. Hulk, again has good potential to rise, especially if he moves. All 3 are good signings, especially the last two. Lavezzi and Montolivio wouldn't interest me. CrazySauer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrazySauer 10 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Re: Adding (Rising) Midfield Talent... I just learned that Hulk and Jovetic are both on unmanaged teams that have the bare minimum of players in my Game World, so no player from those teams can be signed. Frustrating! That leaves me with Ramires, and I can't decide whether or not I think things will pick up for him at Chelsea... I guess I'll wait and keep an eye on his situation to see if performance picks up. In the mean time, I did sign Mats Hummels from Dortmund, although he is a Defensive Midfielder he's on the rise and I really like him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you buy a real-life player from that club then sell him back to his real club after the 10wk transfer ban is up you can raise the squad size to 22 yourself and bid on these players. Just requires waiting a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just requires waiting a few weeks. That's a great tip! So if I can poke around online for the real life roster of a club, then buy a player on SM who is listed under a different team, he'll sell back to the SM equivalent of his current real life squad?

Afterwards you can buy the player that you actually want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been seriously considering Elia, because he is Dutch and I like to pick up talented and rising Dutch players when I can for my Ajax team. I know almost nothing about Payet, but he is available in my league... is he going to be a 92 or higher player someday? Is he going to sign with a bigger club in the near future?
