Name: Joleon Lescott Age: 24 (25 1 month into game) Position: Defender (Left and Centre) Value: £4.5 Million Nationality: English Languages: English Reputation: National Squad Status: Important First Team Player Personality: Very Determined young fellow
In Football Manager 2008, Joleon Lescott is a great player, and is worthy of being in your squad. He is young, got a powerful header and is a great Centre Back. I used him at villa and he won 5 man of the matches and was a great leader, he always seems to perform on the game, especially in big games. He is also a very determined lad, who like the media attention on fm 08. He is very fast two
Tactical Joleon Lescott plays best as a centre back, but can play good in the left back position, he works for the ball on fm 08, and you can see his little dot racing up and down lol, if you want him as a left back train him there to be perfect, also I believe you can train he to be holding player or a right back.
Strengths As you can See Joleon Lescott has a lot of strengths, the main ones include.
Determination: 17: As I have said previously, he is a very determined lad, and wants to be the best of his ability, in real life and on Footy Manager. He like to make it to every ball, and has scored a lot of goals from set pieces for me on football manager 2008.
Heading: 17: As you can see Lescott loves to Head the ball, and his stats show this, he not afraid to head and get up high when need, that why all his goals for me and against me on Football Manager have been from corners, crosses, free-kicks, by getting on the end of them.
Strength: 17: On the game Lescott is a very strong lad, and his stat show this, as I have said, he works and battles for the ball, and if he needs to barge someone he will beware!
Jumping/Bravery: 16: as they are both 16, I decided to them both. Firstly Jumping, as you can see, and properly know, Lescott can jump high, practically to the moon, he leaps up high when needed to score or defend. He is also a brave lad, and when needed to challenge people he will, he want ditch out that’s why he should be a great buy on FM 08 PC game.
Weaknesses Every player has them, plus Lescott young and learning, as everyone says learn from mistakes.
Free- Kicks:1: to be honest he gets on the end of them, but don’t really need to take them.
Long Shots:2: well as a defender you don’t need to shoot far, maybe tug training will help get this up if you wish to get him into goal of the month.
Flair:1: Some times he doesn’t really play attractive football, he does the basics which is good but that doesn’t always work does it, just ask Arsenal, who are linked with Lescott.
Long Throws:2: has a defender he needs to be able to take these, and this is what lets him down a lot, he a poor throwing taker, but he can improve after a few season he should go up in 2009, I think its 10 for me.
Conclusion To conclude, I think Lescott is a great player who is learning pretty fast, I would definately buy him for a Premiership club, but on Football Manger 2008, Everton don’t always sell him unless you offer big. Buy a few seasons, I think he will be a fantastic player, who everyone wants to sign. I mean, he's been in the England squad. Tell me how you get on with Lescott on FM 08 cheers.

Damnz mate, you keep improving! It's always nice to see someone who actually listens to what others have to say. I can see your spelling and gramma has improved a lot since your last guide and I bet we can expect much more greatness from you in the future.
Keep it up and of course a "Thanks" is what you get!
