Joey Dudulica

Joey is your first choice keeper. Hes injured at the start of the game for around 3 weeks. You may want to buy some backup for him.


Sergio Romero

I really don’t think Sergio has the ability for the dutch league. If you are gonna be challenging for the league I would think of getting a replacement asap.

Boy Waterman

Just having a look through Waterman’s stats on FM and none of them really jump out. He has a 17 for reflexes and also a18 for Jumping and 16 for Rushing out. He will be your number one keeper unless you invest in a new one



Kew Jaliens (Defender, Right, Center)

The AZ captain. Jaliens is probably one of your best defenders. He plays best as a DC but can also play out on the right of defence. On FM his influence seems to let him down a bit with a rating of 14. If it was me I would be picking someone with a higher influence rating and work rate as captain.

Barry Opdam: (Defender, Left, Centre)

Barry will be your first choice left back. He may not be great as an attacking left back but makes up for that with some great defensive stats. Heading 19, Tackling 16, Bravery 16, Concentration 18, Determination 16, Work Rate 16, Balance 17 and Stamina of 18.

Ryan Donk (Defender Centre)

Im not sure if Ryan has what it takes to succeed at AZ. HE may only be 21 but his stats just don’t shout out at me. He has the odd high rating such as heading 16, Balance 16, Jumping 18, Strength 18

Hector Moreno (Defender Centre)

The young Mexican looks like he good have decent potential. Hes already capped 3 times for Mexico. He joined AZ from Pumas in 07. I would recommend loaning Hector out for the season to gain some first team experience.

David Mendes Da Silva (Defender Centre/ Defensive Midfielder)

I reckon this lad is probably your strongest player to partner Jaliens in defence. Also could be a candidate for vice captaincy. He aint to bad from at the old dead ball situations either

Milano Koenders (Defender, Wingback, MR)

Another young player I would recommend sending out on loan for the season, as he really needs first team experience.

Sebastian Pocognoli (Defender, Wingback, AML)

The ideal replacement for Barry Opdam if you decide to sell him. Sebastian can play anywere down the left hand side of the pitch. Considering he is only 19, he still has a lot to learn, so for the first season I would play him as backup to Opdam



Ruud Vormer (Defensive Midfielder)

Vormer is your only natural DMC, and at 19 he may not be ready for taking up that role in the team if you decide to play a holding midfielder. Could possibly be good back up or could be another to be loaned out for the season.

Demy De Zeeuw (Defensive Midfielder, MRC)

In my opinion, this is the man who should be captain of your side. He will be the heart and soul of your midfield. He has great creative and passing abilty, and will work his socks off for the team.

Stijn Schaars (Midfield, Left Centre)

Another really creative driving force in the AZ midfield. Gets a fair few assist and also chips in with a few goals as well. Definetly one to hold on to as other European clubs will be after him.


Simon Poulsen (AML)

Poulsen is gonna be your main attacker on the left of midfield. He posses great pace and acceleration which will cause trouble for opposing defenders. His crossing needs to improve though as it just is’nt good enough.

Simon Cziommer (AMC)

Well what can you say about Cziommer. He has the perfect stats needed for a free roaming AMC. He can create, pass, score and with a work rate of 20, he is’nt afraid to get stuck in. another dead ball specialist with a 17 for free kicks.


Mounir El Hamdaoui (AMC/FC)

Mounir is another creative force in the team. Plays best up front. Im not 100 per cent sure on how I would play him though. Probably set him as a target man as he is’nt one of those fast paced strikers. He will set up plenty of chances though.

Moussa Dembele ( Forward Center)

I would loan Moussa out asap to gain some experience.

Ari (Striker)

I don’t really think that Ari is up to championship challenging material. His stats look really poor. I would recommend bringing in another striker to be honest

Graziano Pelle (Striker)

Graziano will be the one to latch on to those long balls, and set up chances for your other striker. He is an ideal target man standing 6ft 3”. He has a number of stats that stand out for this role, Heading 17, Balance 17 and strength 18.




Just gonna go through a few players who you may wanna have a look at.

Jeroen Tesselaar (Defender Left)

Looks like he could be a decent player in the future. Has some decent stats at the moment Tackling 14, Bravery 16, Determination, Agility 16, Acceleration 15, Long Throws 17.

Jordy Deckers (GK)

Jordy could be one of those players to watch over the years. Still only 18 but already looks like he could be a good prospect for the future. I would recommend loaning him out for a few seasons to gain some experience.

Marko Matic (Midfielder Center)

Hes compared to Simon Cziommer on my game. Looks like he could be a real gem of a player with the right training and guidance. His stats look really good for his age. Passing 15, Creativity 14, Work Rate 15, Teamwork 16, Long shots 14, Dribbling 15, Determination 16, Off the ball 16. One to keep an eye out for over the next few seasons.


Good thing about Holland is that you don’t need Work Permits :P

Gabriel Torje – Striker – Poli 1921 – 900k to 1.2mil or so, depends on interest in him

Alex Fernandez – Striker – Coslada - Free

Christopher Samba – DC – Blackburn – 750K to1M.

Bogdan Stancu – FC – Unirea Urzicini - Valued at 1.1M on my game

Juan Ojeda – GK - River Plate – Cost around about 350k to 400k, really cheap amazing player

German Re – Defender (Right Left Center) – Newell’s

Just a few players to get you started


Heres who I would personally get rid of

Ari

Ill add some more as I get further into the game :)
