I haven't had the same problem with Axel, but I cannot find Nicolas Leroy, sounds like I'm missing out... where did you sign him from?

Because he is 17 in 2012/13 therefore he is a regen
 
how come no one mentioned veratti i played him several seasons now he is better than fabregas and is a rock in the midfield:D
 
Right guys, I've been reading about everyones 'hidden gems' on here for a while now and personally I've found that some of the names mentioned either arent THAT good, or others (Witsel for example) just cost too much (Standard were asking for £17.5m when I bid for him).
So after hours of searching I've decided to put on a list of my own so called wonderkids, I will put transfer fees where I can remember them but most of them cost less than £10m so here goes....

GK - ALPHONSE AREOLA - Plays for PSG and you can sign him by simply offering him a contract as he is only 16yrs old. Got great reports from my 20/20 scout, backed up by bids from both Man Utd and Liverpool.

DC - GERSON - Plays for Gremio and again can be offered a contract due to his age, however you wont get him straight away due to Brazilian rules on young players. Also recieved good reports from scouts. Usually joins on 1.1.2011

DL - JEREMY HELAN - Plays for Man City, available on loan at 1st but I signed him for £350k, not quite ready to go straight into the 1st team but has plenty of potential.

DL - VASCO REGINI - Plays for Sampdoria, recommended to me by a scout and has been pretty solid in my Hearts team when called upon. Can be signed for around £1.7m

DC - NICOLAS OTAMENDI - Plays for Velez, he is labelled the new Milito and is probably the only 1 of my defenders who can instantly step into the 1st team, even chips in with a few goals from corners aswell. Paired with Sol Campbell in the heart of my defence, my Hearts team conceded the least goals in the league during my 1st season.

DM/MC - STEVEN DEFOUR - We all know this 1. Plays for Standard and I got him for £9.75m plus 20% of next sale clause. Nothing I can say about him really, check his stats and you'll see why he's a must buy.

DM/MC - SANDRO - Another most of us will have heard of. Plays for Internacional and was signed for £10m plus 20% of next sale clause. Not quite as good a midfielder as Defour but is probably more effective in the DM role I use in my 4-4-2 diamond.

AM - JANO ANANIDZE - Plays for Spartak Moscow. Recommended by scouts and seems to have a lot of potential. Can be offered a contract due to his age but you wont get him straight away due to Russian League rules on young players. Usually joins your club on 1.1.2011

AM - EDUARDO SALVIO - Plays for Lanus. Can be signed for between £3m-£5m. Good playing through the middle but even better on the right wing. A great signing.

AM - DIEGO BUONANOTTE - Plays for River Plate. A good attacking mid and very useful on the left wing. Sign him early in the 1st season as River will ask for around £12m if you leave it too late.

AM - SOFIANE FEGHOULI - Plays for Grenoble Foot 38. A talented right winger available for around the £6m mark. A very good signing but quickly becomes unhappy if he's not in the team.

AM - ALAN DZAGOEV - Plays for CSKA Moscow. My record signing at £11m. Brilliant playing in the AM role on my 4-4-2 diamond, scores a lot of goals and is more that worth the transfer fee.

AM - CLEMENT GRENIER - Plays for Lyon. A good attacking mid and right winger but can perhaps benefit from being out on loan to get some experience before going straight into your team.

AM - SERGEY KRIVETS - Plays for BATE. Absolute bargain, available for under £1m and can play through the middle or on either flank. Sign him early or you'll miss out.

AM/FC - DIEGO SUAREZ - Plays for Dinamo Kiev. Can be offered a contract due to his age and like the others wont be able to join until 1.1.2011 but could be worth the wait if scouting reports are anything to go by.

AM/FC - ALEX TEIXEIRA - Plays for Vasco. I signed him but left him at his club until the end of the Scottish season. Scout reports looked good and so far in my 2nd season he's looked a good buy.

FC - ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI - Plays for Lech. Signed for £1.8m and worth every penny. Now plays up front in my team alongside Liedson after injury to Ebi Smolarek and has been an absolute goal machine. 12 goals in 9 starts so far in my 2nd season.

FC - KHOUMA BABACAR - Plays for Fiorentina. Is 16/17 years old and will cost aroung £6m but has scored a lot of goals for my reserve team and been reliable when put into the 1st team. Barcelona and Real Madrid have made bids of £7m and £8m so that tells you of the potential he has.

FC - ROMELU LUKAKU - Plays for Anderlecht. Is also on the young side and should cost around £2m-£3m. Another who has impressed in the reserves and has also attracted interest from Real Madrid.

Well thats my list of 'wonderkids' complete. I'd be very interested in seeing how they get on should you sign them. Cheers
 
still didnt mention veratti with all respect mate he is a beast when i get home i will post for u his screenie on 2018 he is one of the best players on my team....beats any other player on my midfield and i got some amazing midfield..
 
I have just signed Wellington Silva but he wont be joining me till 2011. Only 16 cost only £240K due to min fee release, looks like he has potential has anyone signed him and what does he turn out like

Just signed him for West Ham after reading this. I'm in 2012, had to sell stanislas and carlton cole to get him like, but not complaining. He's just scored a screamer on his debut. Hope he keeps it up.

Axel Witsel is at Standard Liege (Belgium)along with Defour who was quality on FM08.

Steven Defour is still quality in Fm10. The problem with Axel Witsel and Defour (for me) in FM10 is that they are to expensive. When managing Arsenal I have a policy of not paying more than 10mil pounds for a player. I rather look for good youngsters (Arsene Wenger style) that I can turn into great players. Hidden Gems you know. Real Hidden Gems, what this thread is all about. Therefore I always buy Tinga from Ponte Preta (2.3mil) and Mats Rits from Germinal Beerschot (700k). No comments on my lovely Arsenal skin please.

Here is a screenshot of Verratti in his original club
 
A couple of hidden gems in the lower leagues in Scotland, probably wouldn't walk into the bigger teams but worth a punt if you're a lower EPL or Championship side.

Leigh Griffiths (Dundee) - 18 and already the perfect poacher - around £1 mill
Ryan Stevenson (Ayr United) - 26 goalscoring advanced playmaker (scored 13 goals in 32 sub appearances for me!)- around £40K
Johnny Tuffey (Partick Thistle) - 22 good backup Keeper, gets good after a season or 2 - around £100K
A couple i'm sure most people know:

John Fleck (Rangers) - 18 becomes a monster - around £1.9 mill
Danny Wilson (Rangers) - 16 huge potential CB - around £600K
Jamie Ness (Rangers) - 18 good DMC - around £300K

These might be good for people wanting to build a good young British team.
 
when i get home i will post a screenie of veratti on my current season in 2018 and u will see...
 
Surprised nobody has mentioned Leo from Gremio? Or Iker Muniain?
