Jose Baxter - "Dubbed the next Jermaine Defoe" (FM2011)
One has to go back to FM09 to find a snapshot of Mexes in his prime - I'd forgotten what an absolute beast he was in FM back in the day, so much so that his attributes are actually better than those of Raphael Varane in FM19!! Not sure if SI were a little too generous or not as I feel that present day Varane is far stronger in real life - either way, another successful media comparison for FM and we will give a 5 star rating to this one.Ĩ. While this doesn't always mean that the player is guaranteed to rise to stardom and become an absolute superstar, I've always enjoyed unearthing a top youth prospect that has the potential to reach the ability of an already well known footballing icon - not only does it give an indication of the type of player they may aspire to be, it is also a great way of connecting the FM alternate universe to real life football which for me is the reason I have played the game relentlessly for over 20 years now since that fateful day when I swapped my copy of Sensible World of Soccer 95/96 for a copy of Championship Manager 2 with a mate at aged 10, and to this day have never returned it to him 😆. One of my favourite features of Football Manager is to scout and find wonderkids / hidden gems who are " Dubbed", " Touted" or " Labelled" as the next. 🎵 Suggested tune: " Que Sera Sera (What will be will be) " - Doris Day 🎵įootball Manager has always been famous for predicting the footballing future, and for recognising a young player's potential long before the real life football community catches on or makes a move - so much so that a number of well-known clubs and managers have taken to actually playing/utilising the game in order to ensure they are up to date with the highest potential and most sought after wonderkids that SI continue to identify through their outstanding scouting network and wide range of researchers and contacts all over the globe.
