Everyone talks about Ouedraogo at Schalke, but I'm really enjoying Keke Topp there. Not a super high rating, but a really complete striker who can score all types of goals
Dude I signed Keke Topp to my Falkirk side, and he was an absolute beast, sold him on for 27 mil to athleti. He was sorely missed. Also signed a German defender, Frederick Jakel, he was a stalwart at the back
In my case, one of the players that really helped me achieve the Champions League title with a middle-of-the-table portuguese team: GUILHERME SANTOS, which begins in Sporting Clube de Portugal youth team. It develops into a fantastic mezzala, scoring +20 goals per season. Absolut monster. Other players to include in the list: GK: Niklas Hedl DR: Yukinari Sugawara DE: Tom Roth DC: Ousmane Diomande DC: Zeno Debast CM: Marc Bernal (sometimes you can get him very cheap from the academy) CM: João Veloso AM: Noah Darvich RW: Gianluca Prestianni LF: Rodrigo Ribeiro ST: Lorenzo Lucca
My best XI in FM24 of all time GK: Anatoliy Trubin/Noah Atubolu DC: Finn Jeltsch, Isaac Toure/Francisco Marco, Jhon Lucumi DL: Owen Beck/Carlos Romero DR: Ivan Fresneda/Connor Bradley DM: Andre Franck Zambo-Anguissa/Gaius Makouta Number 8: Andy Diouf/Luka Topalovic Number 10: Gauthier Hein/Can Uzun LW: Idan Toklomati/Kaoru Mitoma RW: Lirim Kastrati/Francisco Trincao ST: Matija Popovic/Mathis Lambourde
I prefer Popovic and Lambourde as Inside Forwards, did you try that, maybe with a powerhouse ST with good physicals. Fresneda has had a downgrade in updates based on what i am seeing, was epic in FM23 and in initial FM24 release. Interesting shouts on Diouf and Bradley. Trubin is awesome and 199cm.
I actually did everyone from that list on my Save. but i went Guillaume Restes as GK & Maurits Kjærgaard, Esposito as ST. Were a lot better in my specific save.
Lots of good suggestions in the video. But what I really get drawn to is cheap players that just massively over-perform their CA or PA. Players who you can sign when in the lower reaches of the PL, but also who you might target if managing in a place like Japan. To that end: Mauro Silveira (Wanderers) GK - a natural born sweeper keeper with awesome consistency. So reliable in goal beyond his CA/{A its insane. Marcel Ratnik (Olimpija) DC - solid, cheap, highly promising central defender. Abdul Konate (Abidjan) MC - workhorse central midfielder, nice mix of defensive and attacking traits, not a worldbeater but a bit of a cheap unsung hero. Lucao (Gremio) ST - cheap, run of the mill nomadic striker, not top drawer, but by god he scores a hatful for any underdog club who signs him.
ezra mayers was a great buy for right back on my save, cost 175k for me in 2026 and currently has 16 in accel, agility and pace with 15 tackling and marking at 22 years old. He's way too fast for some solid teams let alone low level ones.
My personal favourite from this year, Shea Lacey from Man United he develops to what i can only describe as an Eden Hazard regen I highly recommend signing him if you want a winger who is comfortable on both flanks who has the individual quality to win you a game against anyone
i must have got lucky, i’m assuming he has a dynamic potential as he had 11 determination for me which i don’t find hinders him i signed him in my second season in the prem with lincoln city, 4 years later he’s my talisman with a champions league final coming up, hopefully he can take us all the way
My best player yet that I found is Ugurcan Cakir, a turkish goalkeeper, that I bought when I was at Fulham, he alongisde Smith-Row, carried Fulham to top 6 in the Prem, and later on to win the Europa league.
Current first XI in my Leicester Team GK - Trubin RB - Kayode LB - Gutiuerrez, CB - Diomande & Schlotterbeck DM - Kone CM - K Thuram & Guerra RW - Roony B LW - N Williams ST - Samu O Quite a physical team in the key areas where this is needed. Not won the CL yet but in 4 completed seasons have won 3 FA Cups, 2 Charity Shield, 3 Premier Leagues, 1 Championship. Defeat in R16 in CL to PSG and Milan but currently in QF in latest season having topped the league stage.
Danny Greenslade has dominated in my saves. He’s only National North/South level allegedly, but I signed him as a joke in my Southampton save and he got a hat trick of assists on debut in the Premier League. He was still there when I made it to the Premier League with Bath City and was still getting assists aged 38 and barely able to walk 😂
Emmanuel Emegha, 6ft5 striker with balanced stats and 15 pace to start. Always grows into a Drogba-esque player for me and plays best as a TF or CF alongside IFs or a Poacher. Scalvini, CB with no cons and huge mental stats for a youngster. Leny Yoro, another CB with huge physicals but I have converted him to a DM twice and he performs amazing. Usually use him as an Anchor or Half Back with a DLP. Ernest Nuamah, young winger with electric pace and amazing ball control stats. Left footed only but plays both wings and plays best for me on the right as an IF or IW.
My personal FM favourite who'm I buy every year is Martin Baturina playing for Dynamo Zagreb. He is really decent at the start of the game age 19 or 20. Best thing is he is fairly cheap at 8mil and you're almost always able to sign him. Apart from that he's got some real life interest from Real Madrid.
First of all i need to thank you. The video on Your/The other channel you have with rebuilding Vitesse. Made me want to understand more of this game. But then i got annoyed, Did not touch the game for moths. Then gave it an other go 3 weeks ago. and now i'm hooked. i live on 12 miles from the Vitesse Stadium. i dont wanna call myself a fan, but it is my favorite club in the Netherlands. Really looking forward to a rebuild on FM25 on Vitesse from you, now they are relegated there is really something too rebuild. So i've got 2 saves now. one with of course Vitesse, Where i won the Eredivisie 3 or 4 times the passed 6 or 7 years. got to Quarter finals champions league. the urge to win that is still alive. in that save i got myself 2 players that are there almost from the start. 1st Uros Kabic he's a RW/LW, comes from FK Vojvodina Novi Sad and is only costing you 1.1 million euro's the 2nd one is Colin Kleine-Bekel who plays at Holstein Kiel and did cost me around 3 million. The 2nd save is with Leicester where i did become champions in the first year 2nd division. 2nd year i won the Carabao Cup, and became 2nd in the Premier Division 2 points behind Man City Here i picked up Marten de Roon for a Free after the first year. He was one of the pillars of the team together with Tommy Doyle from Man City for 6.25 mil and the only guy i got that was in this video Ivan Azon i got for 4.7 mil.
Love hearing that mate, I’m glad it helped get you into the game! Leicester is my hometown so I rebuilt your local club and you did mine! I hope you keep having fun with the game, I’m glad it encouraged you to play :)
Wow, that's a coincidence. The choice for Leicester is because of the 1.5 years it took to go from relegation to champions, Breaking several records along the way. what a fairy tail was that 😎
Oscar Schwartau, Leif Davis, Xadas, Simone Pafundi, Rafiu Durosinmi, Patrick Berg, Chris Rigg, Luiz Felipe, Maurits Kjaergaard, Dean Huijsen, Can Uzun, Max Moerstedt, Lucas Jetten, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Ivan Azon
Last hidden gem Olakunle Olusegun from Russias FC Kranodar bought for 5.75 is nothing but pure pace but good enough for any mid level premier team but a monster in the championship.
Leif has been getting me 20+ assists and 5+ goals per season for my leicester city side...love can uzun, sold kjearguaard for top money after he was the best target man ive had on this game....ill look into lots of other suggestion here...thanks.
Vivaldi Semedo. Signed him for 600k maybe as back up to Gyokeres at sporting. Gyokeres got injured for a month and semedo came in and scored loads of goals. A couple hat tricks even
Gaïus Makouta is a cheat code signed from BVT for 5mil to west ham in the 24 season average a 7.11 sold Al- lttihas 30mill next season they release him two seasons later and I signed on a free. he then played two more season for us then sold to Benfica for 31mil.
Cho Gue-Sung singed for 9.75mil from FC Midtjylland. 18 (9) league games 18 goals but 25 goals in all competitions. Hard to beat that for a ready now premier league striker under 10mil
Lorenzo Lucca for me is the best player to sign this game. Can get him for under 10m after the first season. And every save I've had him he's consistently scored more goals than games played per season! Absolutely insane striker.

My personal favourite from this year, Shea Lacey from Man United
he develops to what i can only describe as an Eden Hazard regen I highly recommend signing him if you want a winger who is comfortable on both flanks who has the individual quality to win you a game against anyone
in my save he only got 2 determination lol what a shame
Never seen him develop which is a shame, i edit him and mikey moore of Tottenham sometimes, just to see them rip international tourneys
i must have got lucky, i’m assuming he has a dynamic potential as he had 11 determination for me which i don’t find hinders him
i signed him in my second season in the prem with lincoln city, 4 years later he’s my talisman with a champions league final coming up, hopefully he can take us all the way

Sverre Halseth Nypan
with Haaland, took Norway to win the 2026 WC 😂 in my save
he actualy really popular in real life too btw
Elia Caprile is always my go to keeper, can pick him up for about 7-8 mil and grows into an absolute beast of keeper
Current first XI in my Leicester Team
GK - Trubin
RB - Kayode
LB - Gutiuerrez,
CB - Diomande & Schlotterbeck
DM - Kone
CM - K Thuram & Guerra
RW - Roony B
LW - N Williams

my favourite Ernest nuamah, always bangs in great numbers for me
yeah he's a killer, 17 accel 16 pace 15 flair 17 dribbling on my save and only 40 mill
Danny Greenslade has dominated in my saves. He’s only National North/South level allegedly, but I signed him as a joke in my Southampton save and he got a hat trick of assists on debut in the Premier League.
He was still there when I made it to the Premier League with Bath City and was still getting assists aged 38 and barely able to walk 😂

for me Tyler Goodrham (M) from Oxford United is doing absolute wonders crushing that right side of the field

Find it annoying that a player earning £3000 a week then wants to£45000- £55000 to join.
Last hidden gem Olakunle Olusegun from Russias FC Kranodar bought for 5.75 is nothing but pure pace but good enough for any mid level premier team but a monster in the championship.

Nice picks mate, some other great ones here
Vivaldi Semedo. Signed him for 600k maybe as back up to Gyokeres at sporting. Gyokeres got injured for a month and semedo came in and scored loads of goals. A couple hat tricks even
Benjamin Sesko as shadow striker was beast!
Always buy Xadas because I usually pick a mid table team. Good corner taker + playmaker 🔥🔥🔥
there is a save from a french youtuber (Arthur Ray) with Chris Rigg and Jude Soonsup-Bell banging goals and winning the prem/CL with Sunderland
Here thats the video we wanted
🙌
Marcandelli best CB, can get him on pre contract in January turns into a great player.
Mohamed Diomande is a must buy aswell
Kayode is beast, he can be mvp in most matches as a RB 🤣
Ronny Swedish kid amazing
My top pick would be Bruno Viera and David Martinez. Both can be picked up for less then 13mil pounds and they will be world stars.
Very good Davis!
Top player!

I had Duronsinmi on my Pacific journeyman save for FC Seoul brilliant player

Aziz Yakubu from Rio Ave is a great ST, cheap buy and scores lots of goals.
I love the aston villa player kellyman who can be used in all the attacking positions.
I had him didn't really develop that well for me, Jacob Ramsey was world class within 2 seasons though
Cho Gue-Sung singed for 9.75mil from FC Midtjylland. 18 (9) league games 18 goals but 25 goals in all competitions. Hard to beat that for a ready now premier league striker under 10mil
Nelson Weiper is the best ST i have on all FM
Alvaro Fidalgo is a beast, less than 2M😉
Juan larios left back at Southampton
Hi mate, nice video! Which is your skin? Its pretty awesome. Please
You should really try starting a save on the second channel
I'm doing a Everton save and I have Alan valasco playmaker from Argentina suits Everton to the ground walks into my save and regular assist maker

The best player for me in fm24 is Francesco pio esposito i bought him 1m and make 100m profit

Kaden young aston villa
Mamadou Doumbia

Lorenzo Lucca for me is the best player to sign this game. Can get him for under 10m after the first season.
And every save I've had him he's consistently scored more goals than games played per season! Absolutely insane striker.
Luka top
Josh doig is a better lb than Davis and cheaper
Can uzun
Big talent!
I love uzun I used him before from another one of your vids
Any right backs?
Fresneda from sporting
Kayode
