Five New FM2009 Wonderkids

It's been a while since I last updated my wondekids list here, and I think it's time to change that. Therefore, I present you five new great youngsters you should purchase for a bright future at your club. Here are the new Football Manager 2009 wonderkids I have to recommend:

Alberto Paloschi (Striker, incredible stats):

Sergio Asenjo (Class Goalkeeper, a bit pricy but definitely a wonderkid and a good investment):
Bartosz Salamon (Central Attacking Midfielder, amazing stats):
Mascio (Brazilian Central midfielder, one we'll certainly hear about more often)
Vincenzo Fiorillo (Goalkeeper, great reflex skills and lots of room for improvement):

Wonderkid Update: Keirrison

I have found another great youngster to place on the ever growing list of Football Manager 2009 wonderkids. He is a 19 years old Brazilian player Coritiba named Keirrison, he valued at less than 4 million EUR, but I only took the screenshot after he signed the contract and his value increased. He looks like a solid, really good young player. Here is an image with Keirrison's skills.

Freddy Adu - get it!

Just a quick update: if you have the money and a strong enough team to make him want to move, grab Freddy Adu, he's a great player as ever to see come out the USA soccer camp. I just saw the guy and was impressed, I'll try to buy Freddy Adu myself. Screenshot coming soon, now I need a little nap since I've been playing like a mad man this wonderful Football Manager 2009.

FM09 Good Young Romanian Players

I just realized after writing the Football Manager 2009 Wonderkids list yesterday with six great players that I omitted a few players of my own. As I have stated before, I have started a Football Manager 2009 challenge with Steaua Bucharest, a Romanian football team. And, while searching other clubs for players, I forgot about mine!

Steaua Bucharest begins the 08/09 season with three great youngsters I'm really satisfied with until now. Check their stats now:

Razvan Ochirosii - AMLBogdan Stancu - FC
Alexandru Iacob - DMC (but he can also play as Central Defender)
The only problem about these three good young players is the fact that they are pretty expensive, after all and they don't have sky rocketing stats. But if you have the money or ever find yourself in trouble, they will do a great job!

First Football Manager 2009 Wonderkids

After playing for two seasons my first Steaua challenge in Romania in the recently released Football Manager 2009, I have managed to create a list of wonderkids. These great Football Manager 2009 young players do have the ability to transform into super players in a few seasons and they definitely worth a try. Check the list below for the first Football Manager 2009 wonderkids I have found (and with a promise of more to come!)

The first are two no-brainers I could not buy. If you can, try getting them:

Francesc Fabregas (MC)
Lionel Messi (AM RLC)

Now the few real wonderkids I have found in Football Manager 2009 are:

1. Tom Ababio (very cheap DC, has all the main features needed for a central defender: 18 work rate, team work and jumping, 19 heading and tackling. It has poor marking bravery and pace: just 12, but it is dirt cheap at semi-pro club Dulwich Hamlet. Can be purchased for less than 5k)
2. Maurício – Brazilian AML, starts unemployed. Great stats, free to get. 18 years old
3. Gianluca Palmiteri – Italian SC, starts unemployed. There is barely competition for his signature, promises to turn into a good player.
4. Kayke – Brazilian SC, starts at Flamenco.

For the moment these are the wonderkids I have found until now, I will be searching for more.

Please note: the players are in the 9.1.0 database update, so if you have not installed it, do it now!

FM 09 Woderkids

I am so excited about the upcoming release of Football Manager 2009 that today, while I was playing FM 08 as usual, I was unable to focus and do anything right: my mind kept flying and thinking about the wonderkids in FM 2009. So I started to edit some pictures and I came up with the logo above which is only 5% my work but anyway... at least it makes the pain a bit more easy.

So, as you can see, I have created this page and it will feature, as soon as the game gets released, links towards my posts with FM09 wonderkids. But until then I am 100% sure I'll find something else to do - maybe predict a few of them? Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter!

As promised, here is the first small list of Football Manager 09 great youth players:
