In Real Life

Victor Moses was born on December 12, 1990 and is an English footballer but born in Nigeria, he currently plays for Crystal Palace (but there has been some transfer talk about him leaving for juventus). Moses can play in a lot of different positions, but so far Moses has played as an attacking midfielder, wearing the number 43 shirt.
He made his debut for Crystal Palace on 6th November 2007 against Cardiff City at Ninian Park aged just 16 years old replacing 15-year-old John Bostock.

Moses has played for England at under-16 and under-17 level. He finished as the Young Lions' top scorer, netting three times in the Group B fixtures. But he got injured which meant he couldn't go on in the tounament.

In Football Manager '08
In fm08 victor can be signed by “approach to sign” because he is only 16 when the game begins. Moses really does become a great player as you can see from the screenshots below also look at the England U21 caps and goals ratio! Look at how well some of his stat improve e.g. crossing 4 up to 12 thats an improvement of 2 every year!

This is at very start of the season!

This is at March 2012

I signed Moses for manchester united as a future investment/Player and he is a very good one. he scores for fun in the ENG U21's and he is starting to get to grips with the premier league by scoring 3 goals in 6 starts.

These are the stats the season after!(Novenber 2012)

Tactical Instructions

Moses is best used up front. In the years that i have had him he dosen't tend to perform aswell in attacking midfield. I think it would be better to make his height more effective and have him constantly in the penalty box.

Strengths before and after (Before is start of game and After is 2012)

Strength 16 = 19
Jumping 14 = 20
Pace 14 = 13
Creativity 14 = 17

Weakness's before and after (Before is start of game and After is 2012)

Penalties 3 = 4
Corners 4 = 4
Crossing 4 = 12
Concentration 4 = 8

Conclusion

In my conclusion i think that Victor Moses is a good player at the start and becomes a great player as the game goes on. He is well worth the 500K odd thousand in comp to get him!!!!

I really enjoyed your post :D Keep it up !!!
Also did you use any training schedule for moses... i mean his crossing dramatically improved .. basically wanting to know if it was your training schedule or if it was just a natural incline in stats .

Cheers

Hes Ok but theres much better, hes a lower prem side player

**Hartynips** · 23-04-08, 11:58 AM

His concentration is a big doubt for me...He looks like he may get distracted halfway through a game, and walk out to do his groceries shop at half time.

All joking aside his other stats are very impressive, especially after a year or two. great guide mate, and the player is well worth a look.

logomofobognor · 23-04-08, 12:05 PM

remember this is only at 21?!?!?!??! what age does a striker peak at......around 28!!!! so there is still a long time for him to develop in!!!

ryanthagunner · 24-04-08, 08:09 AM

Great player IRL, watched England U17 in the WC and him, rhys murphy, henri lansbury and some other really stood out. Good future for him.

And on FM he was amazing in my Arsenal reserves for half a season!

logomofobognor · 24-04-08, 08:48 AM

have just started a Crystal Palace league?! Not sure if i want to leave him in the youth/reserve team or try to bring him through!?!?

ryanthagunner · 24-04-08, 09:11 AM

Play him pre season see how he does. Keep him on the bench to start. He will be super sub.

**abeatty2209** · 24-04-08, 10:42 AM

yeah m8 i agree with ryan play him in pre season i think after a year he would be good enough. u dont wont to play him to much when hes that young you could burn him out.

Sports King · 24-04-08, 01:54 PM

Great Guide mate, so much detail. I had no idea who this kid was before this post but thanks to you i may have found a future investment for my team

dcarterclout · 24-04-08, 04:24 PM

Keep an eye on Palace as the real life season draws to a close - he's got skill and pace to burn in real life and only turned 17 at Christmas.

As a Palace fan I've just signed him for Arsenal at the start of my new game. Only had to pay £170k compensation and with my youth coaching setup all 6 and 7 star I'm hoping to turn him into a legend by the time he's 21! I'll let you know how he gets on...

Alan_R · 24-04-08, 04:44 PM

just had a look at him in my game. hes 22 and not great. I reckon you need to be a big club with good coaches or give him a specific training schedule if your a smaller club, hes still at palace in my game.

ryanthagunner · 25-04-08, 11:35 AM

Thats intresting Alan. . Ill have a look at him in one of my games were ive dun a few seasons. If i have any saved still lol.
