Gabby is already an established player. At 25 years of age, he doesn't have much scope to development. But he is a great all around striker, and can fit in virtually any system or attacking role. He starts at Aston Villa, and to take him from them is rather hard. If you're in a rich club like Man City, you would probably have to pay around £17M to get him - plus a superstar salary. But be sure that he will perform at the highest standard. These are his stats at the beginning of the game: That's how he looks like 4 years later, without any special training: Marked improvements in his stamina, strength, teamwork, heading, shooting and technique. Not bad. I've used him for one season only, in my Caretaker Challenge. These were his stats (no forced attempts to make him the top scorer). He finished as the league top scorer and won Premier League player of the year, ahead of all other superstars. I've played him mostly as an advanced forward, but many times I have used him as a left inside forward. He was class anyhow. I strongly recommend him for big clubs, in a game where you might be wanting to play around with tactics and roles. His all-around stats adapt very well to any of the main offensive roles, and this versatility is very useful when trying to fine tune a tactic. Overall, he is expensive, but a sure bet. He will always perform to a high standard.

Ronan Finn - MC - 24 - Shamrock Rovers If you sign me I'll make you smile too! This young lad is a perfect signing for lower league clubs. You can get him in January 2013 on Bosman, and he will definitely be your midfield maestro. Here are his stats in the start of the game: Don't let my lack of green attributes fool you! His favourite role is as a Deep Lying midfielder. I have signed him for Wrexham in my Caretaker Challenge, and played him as one of the central midfielders in my marvelous 4-2-3-1! He arrived in January as a Bosman signing - great stuff - and these are his stats after half an year of normal training: Not too shabby for Blue Square Premier! He performed at a very high level, as it can be seen by his stats: I'm waiting for Premier League bids anytime soon Notice that his value has increased 24-fold since his arrival So, if you're managing in the bottom of the leagues' pyramid, don't hesitate to snatch this guy. He will score loads of headers from corners, run wild from deep to surprise defenders and score a few - even if his shooting is crappy!
