Tom Heaton - Good Enough For a low prem team or a Championship team.
Tomaasz Kuszczak - Wicked player def worth keeping for a few season is alot better out there.
Edwin Van Der Sar - Wicked player should keep for a few season but i would start looking for a replacement after 2 or 3 season.
Ron-Robert Zieler - Def one for the future could easly become the best in FM08.

DR/RWB's
Phillip Bardsley - Good player but not a top player... i would sell.
Tom Cleverley - Not Worth Keeping.
Richard Eckersley - Not Worth Keeping.
Danny Simpson - One for the furture, with the right training could become a star in most top teams.
David Gray - Best postion is RB but his not worth keeping.
Gary Neville - Wicked player, Make him captain cause the team is lost without him.

DL/LWB's
Adam Eckersley - Rubbish player good for any team in Div 2 or 3.
Michael Lea - Sell him as he would only be good for a championship team.
Mikael Silvestre - So under-rated plays best LB not LWB always solid!
Patrice Evra - Best position is LWB, Fast, Good passer, good dribbler.
John O'Shea - Very Versital but plays best LB worth keeping.

DC's
Wes Brown - Half Decent player i usually sell him. could get about 4.5m -ish
James Chester - Not a bad player with the right training could become a good player for most middle prem teams.
Jonathan Evans - A player for the future. Could become a solid player for any top team.
Rio Ferdinand - Wicked player makes a few mistakes but worth keeping.
Craig Cathcart - A good player for any Championship team.
Ryan Shawcross - Not a bad player but i would sell in as there is much better out there.
Nemanja Vidic - Wicked player... strong, hard tackler, wicked in the air and chips in with a few goals.
Gerard Pique - Again a wicked player def keep will be one of the best DC in the game.

MR/AMR's
Darren Fletcher - An ok player lacks the spark for a man utd player i usually sell as there is better out there can get about 7m-ish.
Chris Eagles - With the right training could become a wicked player..Maybe worth keeping.
Nani - Not a bad player needs to be loaned out or he takes some time to settle in.
Park Ji-Sung - I always sell him cause i dont think his good enough for man utd!
Cristiano Ronaldo - His man utd's best player!!! No one can handle him Scores shed loads assits loads. can also play wicked upfront.

ML/AML's
Ryan Giggs - SOOO under-rated. his scores and assits loads. wicked at free kicks, My vice captain. good for 3 or 4 seasons then move into the CM.
Sean Evans - Crap so sell.
Michael Barnes - Sell not good enough for the prem.
Lee Martin - Good player...a replacement for giggsy!

CM/DMC/AMC
Owen Hargreaves - Good player all round chips in with a few goals and assits and protects the back 4 really well.
Michael Carrick - Passing is great! his gets a fair few goals worth keeping.
Darren Gibson - Best CM or DM in the Man Utd team hard working always in the thick of it. Great tackler and passer.
Sam Hewson - Def one for the future...Tackles hard, passes are wicked. Doesnt get pushed off the ball easly.
Ritchie Jones - Not to sure about him yet but ill update this.
Anderson - Plays best just behind the ST or ST's. Gets loads of goals and a few assists.
Paul Scholes - Bril player one of the best AMC in FM..shame about his age!

FC/ST
Wanye Rooney - Goal Machine! hard working.not always consistant
Carlos Tevez - Again Goal Machine. not always consistant
Febian Brandy - Young could become a star player for most prem teams.
Dong Fanghuo - Not sure about him yet ill update him.
Fraizer Campbell - will update.
Louis Saha - Underrated by most people can get 30-40 - ish goals.

Under 18 players for the Future
Nicky Ajose - Will be a wicked target man within time
Antonio Bryan - fast, great passing and crossing will be a great player for any team.
Daniel Galbraith - Great player with the right training good in the air, good passing wicked long shot he has plays better upfront.
Magnus Eikrem - One of the best young players i have ever come across! wicked passing, shooting and dead balls.
Conor McCormack - his a great passer of the ball and will be the perfect playmaker.
Corry Evans - Again like Conor will be a great playmaker.
Ben Amos - Great as a young GK and when his older he will def be the best around!!!

Recommended Position to Buy -
You Will need another RB pref Ryan Taylor , CM/DMC Tom Huddlestone, LM/AML Pref Stewart Downing or Kerion Richardson and another striker pref a target man like Dean Ashton or even bring Alan Smith back also Riki, Sunny, Beckham, The Hunter, Bendter, Richards and Bale.

bric999 · 18-02-08, 12:30 AM

Nice guide

FM_Scotland · 18-02-08, 01:00 AM

Decent guide mate. I think you have over-rated a few youngsters and first team players.

Calling Darren Fletcher OK is a joke, because he is crap. Would not sign him for any prem team.

And you said play Giggs for 3-4 seasons? That would make him 37!

Overall thought it's quite good.

Little tip, IMO Frazier Campbell is a great player. Seems to score alot for me. Heard he runs riot first season for any league 1 or 2 side. He also done great for me at Celtic. Saw an SOMS where he ended up playing for a side battling for the CL.

leachy-boi91 · 18-02-08, 01:14 AM

First of All Fletcher you can sell him for about 9m, he went to spurs on mine and was wicked there best player of the season so i will scout him again i dont like him cause his crap!

Giggs you have to move him into the middle or just behind the forwards.

Campbell does turn into a goal machine in the new update and some others do too so i will update this again cause the man utd youth players are better in the new patch.
