Posted by Football Manager Guru in I have been playing Football Manager 2011 (FM 2011) for a year now, and I reckon I know who are the football manager 2011 (FM 2011) best players to buy in the game right now.
Not only that, I also know the EXACT sales value of players at the start of the game that you could purchase a player for.
I calculated their exact sales value using an excel spreadsheet over my year of playing FM 2011.
The exact sales value of each player in the table below, is from my 1 year of experience of playing Football Manager 2011 day in day out.
And basically I have collated data on the average bid you need to make before the club agrees to sell the player at the start of the game.
Afterall, what’s the point of knowing the name of the player you want to buy, but not knowing how much to bid?
Without further ado, I give you, a very comprehensive list of Football Manager 2011 Best Players, COMPLETE WITH THE BID YOU NEED TO MAKE FOR HIM AT THE START OF THE GAME.
