I once signed a young Tevez and Adriano for Blackburn, went on the win the Champions League with Tevez scoring from the halfway line in the final. Imagine that pair in real life, unmanageable.

Fernando Cavenaghi was the goal machine I built most of my teams around with D'Alessandro in behind him.

Juan Fernando Quintero was great for a few years as well as Doran Rotiaru.

Yeah I recall Zlatan having a lot of 20's and thinking "who is this guy !?" :lol:

Arjen Robben also had the highest potential in CM03? Or something? And I remember looking through the files and buying him from Holland and thinking how amazing he was in the game.

Harry Kane was also surprising successful on my FM2012 save! As was Wes Morgan.
He was for me too, as a loanee for Leyton Orient ! Still didn't expect him to become this good irl.
