In Real Life

Miralem Pjanić (born April 2, 1990) is a Bosnian football player who plays for Olympique Lyonnais in France.
Although he played for the Luxembourg national team's youth sides as a teenager, in 2007 he revealed that he'd continue his international career playing for Bosnia-Herzegovina instead. That same year, he became a regular for Metz and began to attract the attention of clubs such as Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid. Primarily playing as an attacking midfielder, he is often cited as one of the biggest European talents of his generation.

In Football Manager '08

This man is a real gem in FM. At the start of the game he is 17 and his contract is unprotected this meaning you can “Approach to sign” him at the very start of the game. If you take a look at his stats he is brilliant play for his age!! I have also added a few screenies of him compared to other brilliant youngsters Mario Balotelli and Sunny who is his age or there abouts.

I played him in 4 friendly matches above and he played very well assisting 4 goals! (Below)

For a 17 year old, he looks really good and he performed well in those four friendlies.

I'll have a look at him later when I next play FM.

Nice guide mate.

**Jonners71** · 24-06-08, 02:02 PM

no problem...yours is better!

as long as lots of people get to hear about this player. Think he is about to sign for Lyon so most people will know him before long I reckon.

apthered · 24-06-08, 02:44 PM

**ChrisA** · 24-06-08, 03:17 PM

incredible guide mate, KUTGW

I've got him at Rangers right now. If I've got some time this afternoon I'll get a screenie up of him in year 8. Absolute class, highly recommend this player for any league. Gets unsettled a bit too easily sometimes but is pretty loyal and certainly puts in some top class performances.

Also looks like Harty already has a guide with a year 4 screen: Miralem Pjanic

Here's his ratings for me, 2016:

I was able to land him on a free from Man City before the beginning of the 2014-2015 season. He was able to quickly fit into the hole left by Charlie Adam leaving for QPR, netting 14 goals and setting up 17 more in 52 appearances. His showings in Europe have been consistently good, with an average rating just over 7 in 19 appearances, including a goal at Sporting in last year's CL and another v/Chelski at Ibrox in the quarter-final.

In the league he's been a revelation, although he can take the occasional game off. He was unsettled for a period at the beginning of the current season after I rejected an offer of 11m from Roma for him but after signing a new contract on 35k/week his performances have been incredible, certainly living up to the promise he showed last year.

Notes:

Highly recommend for UEFA Cup+ level sides, not a prototypical Big4-type player but certainly a capable attacking midfielder and a solid playmaker if you use one. Good on free kicks, you should be able to grab 10 goals or so a year from him as well as a good number of assists. His first touch is impeccable and inside of 30 yards he's deadly with the ball at his feet. Despite being capable as a CM should only be used as a CAM, and can give you some games on the right if necessary.

Adapted well to Scotland as he's a very cultured player. Should fit in on just about any squad anywhere. Works well with younger players; all prospects I've paired him with have made noticeable strides in their game under his tutelage. Not a prime candidate for a leadership position on most teams as his influence and bravery aren't the highest. Keep him happy and his performances will stay at a high level; let him get unsettled and you'll be searching your bench for someone to plug in while he sorts himself out.

If you can get him on a free like I did then I definitely recommend it. Outside of that, given what I've seen out of him the past couple years, I wouldn't have a problem making a bid in the 8.5-11m range for this player.

Overall: 6.8/10

**Hartynips** · 04-08-08, 10:49 PM

With 3 guides now to his name, Miralem Pjanic must be officially "The most coveted FMF player"!
