Default Fernando Forestieri

Fernando Forestieri



Club: Siena (Co - Owned by Genoa)
Position: Attacking Midfielder Centre
Value: £1,400,000
Contract: £1,200 per week
Age: 17
Nationality: Italian
Other nationalities: Argentinean
Languages: Spanish and Italian
Reputation: Natural
Personality: Fairly Ambitious
Squad Status: Hot Prospect
Media Comparison: Next Andrea Pirlo

In Real Life

Forestieri was born in Rosario, from parents originally from Messina, Sicily. His career began in 2003 with Newell's Old Boys but in 2003, when he was just 13, Boca Juniors bought him for $50,000. In Buenos Aires, Forestieri became well-known for his way of playing, which was compared with Lionel Messi's.

In January 2006, at the age of 16, Genoa signed Forestieri on a five-year contract; Boca tried to keep the young player, but failed to do so. That summer he played some friendly matches with Genoa, and in one of them Torino president Urbano Cairo saw Forestieri in action and offered 500,000 € for him, but Genoa refused.[3] On 8 November 2006, Forestieri made his official debut with Genoa in a lost Coppa Italia match against Empoli.
Forestieri has been capped by Italy national under-17, and under-19 football team, after refusing the calling of the Argentina U-17. The young player decided to play for the Azzurri because the dream of his family was to live and work in Italy.

In Football Manager '08

Fernando starts a bit quiet in the game but as the game goes on he tends to get better and better. I always buy him for my teams in FM and he is always a great player. To buy him you will need to make to separate as he is co - owned by Siena and Genoa. But he starts the game playing with Siena. You can usually pick him up for about 5M (2.5M to each team) but it’s worth it although you could try a lower bid.



Tactical Instructions

Fernando naturally plays in AMC but he is trained to be an accomplished MC and you can also train him to play in FC. He always makes good cover as a striker for me.



Strengths

Dribbling – 18
Technique – 18
Concentration – 18
Anticipation – 16
Crossing – 15
Finishing – 15
Creativity – 15
Flair – 15


Weakness's


Long throws – 1
Marking – 2
Tackling – 5
Influence – 5
Aggression – 7
Bravery – 8
Heading – 8


Conclusion

This guy always stars in my games when I buy him. I think that if you have some spare money and your looking towards the future then try to get this guy!

i dont really like having this guy on the first-team, nevertheless, a very hot prospect, i'd like to put piatti, but i never put this guy. piatti is faster and more average-stated while forrestieri has more good stats and bad stats and less average stats. both have 1-year-difference

How do I is make sigs?

Great guide Abs. Well done.

Never actually seen or used this player on fm. Probably slipped under my radar.

good guide, although there are better options available to this player, Forestieri doesnt always turn out good its 50/50 on every game

When I did my Lecce league, he played really well for Siena... He got snapped up by a mid table Serie A side and was voted one of the "worst signings of the season"

Bristol City - Premier League here we come!!!
