I use version 7.0.2

I'm sure most of us have a little sub-conscious list in our heads of who to buy when starting up a new game of FM. Some players are great to use when managing a medium-low level club because they're affordable, young and have great potential. Some are great no matter who you go, as long as you can pay the transfer fee and afford the wages. But there's 2 players i've found are always consistent no matter what team they play for and no matter which of their competent positions you play them in. Thomas Kahlenberg of Auxerre is one. He can play pretty much anywhere in midfield and is a great attacking player. Sometimes he's bought as a utilty player for when any of the midfield players pick up an injury but when given the chance to play he always performs well. The other is Thomas Vermaelen of Ajax. Aside from Vedran Corluka he is one of the best CB's on the game ive found. Season after season he consistently plays 8's and 9's and scores no less than 8 goals from moving up for set pieces.

Has anybody else had any similar experinces with these players or even any bad ones? I'm yet to see these guys play poorly on the game.

Usually sign Michael Jordan out of retirement and he becomes a very good striker for me.

never experienced any of your buys but Rolando Bianchi never fails to perform on the 7.0 version for me

i agree about Vermaelen. was always consistent with me too, and cus he's still young he can be at the centre of your defence for years to come without any problems

I completely agree that Bianchi is an awesome player escpecially as a TM. The thing is though, most people who post on here agree on that and its common knowledge that players like him and Eddie Johnson, Pazzini, Guardado etc are sure things. I've just never seen anyone rave about either of these guys so thought i'd post this thread.

I'm not flaming you for suggesting Bianchi btw! I totally agree! I;m looking to buy either him or Zigic for the new season.
