So with a lot of us having played/still playing Footy manager, we all know about those "unknown" players who turn out to be little gems. I know on the old 606 a guy called pandaldinho was the master of knowing all sorts of information about players many knew relatively nothing about. For example, we are all hooked on M'Villa but what about Anthony Annan? Just as young and maybe cheaper? We know about wingers such as Neymar, Sanchez, mata but what about some unheard guys or ones with bright futures? Who do you guys know about that might not be the biggest name but a great player nonetheless.
go on fm-base.co.uk this guy called Raikan007 who posts on the forums is the greatest guy in the world for finding these 'unknowns' hes compiled quite a few lists which ill post links to in a few minutes
Thanks, does anyone remember Pandaldinho? this guy had knowledge on everything, any league, player, etc. Not wikipedia knowledge either. I think he left a while ago due to the wums? He had an answer for every type of player.

Good article about Barcas youngsters. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/435562-barcelona-to-showcase-next-generation-in-spanish-supercup I say they would beat Man Utd in the CL Final never mind the first team.
I remember pandaldinho! Fountain of knowledge when it came to this stuff, he didn't come on too often if I remember correctly though.
danilo is a shout. Leandro Damiao from internacional fits a build like negredo and younger I think. Douglas from Twente and Naldo are two brazilian CB's who could be shouts.
Lamela and Funes Mori from River Plate are two up and coming attacking threats. I think it woul dhave been FM 08 or 09 where no matter what, Man City bought Palombo from Sampdoria. it didn't matter what league, team, or where but they always bought the guy!
lamela's pretty well known, marco veratti grows into one of the best attacking mids on the game liverpool start with some which turn out to be wonderkids, as far as i know sterling, shelvey, wilson, kelly, suso, robinson and toni silva all turn out class im playing with eastleigh (blue square bet south) in my 3rd season after 2 successive promotions i have signed spearing and flanagan on frees
I remember Dalle Valle and Nemeth were knocking Torres out of the team at the time! It was crazy, helps make you realize it is just a game! I know he is not Liverpool class or may never well be but we have a player here in the US, playing for DC United named Andy Najar. 17 I believe, a lot of talent, just turned down the US to play for honduras though >(
I remember playing FM years ago and I had a goal-scoring midfielder called Eric Djemba Djemba.So that proves reality and FM should not be confused.
FM occasionally turns up a few gems who actually do turn out to be decent. I always remember Javier Saviola being one. Ok, he;s not amazing, but he's been around a few top teams. Have to say though, i don;t see much football outside of England and the occasional spanish/champs league game on sky.
Kim Kallstrom ended up ok!! I also remember champ giving very high stats for Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlestone and a 17 year old Fernando Torres
