Albanian Stroll

Posted in Guides | On July 16th, 2008 | By Ash

Welcome to Albania, home of erm…nothing of note really – except a good few FM talents to get your teeth into. All these players are found on a regular large database.

Name: Jahmir Hyka
Position: AMC
Sale Value: 125k

Hyka at the start of the game
Hyka’s potential ability

Hyka’s talent is clear to see from the start of the game – while only being 19 he holds a 15 for his dribbling attribute which will improve as he matures as a footballer. He can also be a danger from set pieces with his good freekick taking ability and average corner ability – again though, work permits may be a problem.

English League Suitability:Low level Premiership sides will be more suited to Hyka than anywhere else in my opinion, could do well as backup in higher place sides and will be a standout performer in the Championship.
My Rating

Name: Leonard Muzha
Position: AM/FC
Sale Value: Free at start of the game.

Muzha’s potential ability

Again with great pace, Muzha could adequately perform the duties of a fast strker in a little and large partnership upfront – with greater mental stats than Arezu, he will more than likely score more goals despite the lack of natural finishing ability. Work permit certainly going to cause bother.

English League Suitability: Muzha would be suited to playing in League One/Two and maybe could perform as backup for a low level Championship side if necessary.
My Rating

Name: Erald Turdiu
Position: MR
Sale Value: 30k

Turdiu’s potential ability

Whilst being the owner of a marginally hilarious second name, Turdiu’s footballing ability is actually quite decent – his freekick and passing ability are good and doesn’t have too many weaknesses – bar his finishing. Work permit as always will be problematic.

English League Suitability: Turdiu would be suited best to playing low end Premiership football and would play well in the Championship.

Albanian’s outside of Albania

Name: Lorik Cana
Position: DM
Sale Value: £5.75m

Lorik Cana at the start of the game
Cana’s potential ability

The most talented thing out of Albania since Zidane’s mother – Lorik Cana’s midfield prowess has not gone unrecognised. Cana’s strong tackling, ankle biting, harrying and harassing midfield style of play has infiltrated the minds of Premierleague scouts recently and it is not hard to see why – with very strong mental stats and exemplary physical attributes; Lorik Cana is a potentially world class centre midfielder. Work permit shouldn’t prove too much trouble either.

English League Suitability:Sides challenging for Europe, good backup for title challenging sides too.
My Rating

Name: Besart Berisha
Position: AM RL/ST
Sale Value: £800k

Besart Berisha at the start of the game
Berisha’s potential ability

Already made his home in English football – Besart Berisha is currently employed at Burnley and therefore work permits shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Good potential attributes in all of the necessary areas to make a good winger bar pace – Berisha could be a decent signing for your team.

English League Suitability:Championship/League One.
My Rating

Name: Edgar Cani
Position: ST
Sale Value: Free at start of the game

Edgar Cani’s potential ability

Edgar Cani’s second nationality is Italian – and therefore work permits should also be no problem with this young striker. Decent potential, with no standout attributes, Cani will be decent backup for low level premiership sides and a good player in the Championship – definitely worth the massive transfer fee of erm, nothing.

English League Suitability:Low level EPL and Championship.
My Rating

Name: Hamdi Salihi
Position: AM RC, FC
Sale Value: 900k

Hamdi Salihi at the start of the game
Salihi’s potential ability

Good striker for peanuts – words that many FM’ers like to hear. Hamdi Salihi is more than cut out to play in the Premiership with great pace, finishing and free kick ability. Hamdi Salihi will bang them in season after season and is still only young too, and the fresh age of 23. Work permit possibly a problem.

English League Suitability:Premiership.
