I saw here that in everyone's 'super teams' all the players appear to be about 30 at the start of the game, which is no good if you want to play for more than 2 or 3 seasons.
Here is a list of players that develop to be some of the best on the game, and are all relatively cheap at the beggining of the first season. It does vary from game to game how well a player develops, but these ones usually become very good, provided you give them plenty of games.
1. AM/FC, Ederson, 17 y/o, £20,000, (RS Futebol)
2. AM/FRC, Toledo, 21 y/o, £200,000, (Catanzaro)
3. DLC, De la Cuesta, 20 y/o, £350,000, (Atletico Nacional)
4. AMR, Mariano Gonzalez, 22 y/o, £4,000,000, (Racing)
5. AMC, Diego, 18 y/o, £8,000,000, (Santos)
6. DC, Gabriel Milito, 22 y/o, �..

Fc/r Evandro roncatto (Worldclass forword at the age of 20)

Diego, end of secon season.
Joe Cole, got him cheap on unprotected contract.
Wayne Bridge, same as Cole.
Jos� Antonio Reyes, same as Cole and Bridge.

Ze Mario
Fabio Paim
There is this guy called Fredy William Thompson.
He is a must buy and is very cheap. He only costs 525k.
He is an absolutely amazing player and comes at a bargain price. He is only available on Large Datbase.
You must offer him a very good contract as a lot of clubs are intrested in him.
RFC1
I got bored of playing with Arsenal so I started a team from Div 1. Well basically the players sucked and with my budget I could not get quality players so loaning players was my only shot at getting promoted.
Goalkeeper:
Stuart Taylor, Arsenal loan him to me. I got Andreas Isaksson in me 2nd season when I was promoted for 1m but values goes up to 15m because he is really young and world class. Also look for Lucas Rastello, I found him in French U21 squad. Cheap and a great back up keeper, only 375k, starts all 15 at age of 20!
Defenders:
I got Kevin Dawson frm Chesterfield
Alan O'hare is a great left back, gets 8 and 7s in every div1 and Epl game.
Midfielder:
You can try and get Freddy Guarin, world class and try to loan Cesc Fabregas..
A simple hint - obviously go for young talent, but also keep at least 2 old(er) players (28+). These players will have to be experienced, quality players (even though they may havd passed their prime), and they will provide the backbone of your team. I normally would go for an older keeper, and 1 older outfield player (not on the wings, as pace is needed).
If a player is unsettled (as de la Cuesta - Columbian often is), bring in another player of that nationality, and try to fit him into the squad.
1 hint on players - Newcastle's 2 young, English strikers are amazing! - Future stars - Shola Ameobi, Michael Chopra.
Enjoy!
I'm in season 2014 and I have a great young team for porto, so it may help you to find good upcoming players.

Two good players to buy:
Pavel Beganskiy of BATE. Enter his name in the quick search. You should be able to get him for about 500k, but his value rockets to �7.5million as soon as you get him. Play him up front; in the Premiership I think he's about a 15-25 goals a season striker.
Daniel Braathen of Skeid. You have to activate the Norwegian league at the start to get him. He'll come for about 250k, but his value rises to about �2.8million and carries on if you play him regularly. I like to play him on the wings and then play him up front after two seasons.
With the latest Championship Manager, there comes a Data Editor.
If you click "Start" and then "All Programs", you should find and file called "Championship Manager 03-04". Click on this with the mouse and 2 options will come up. Click on Data Editor.
This will take you into a program where you can edit the database of the game. Now you have to load up a file on the program called "serverdb".
When this has loaded up you can change anything on the game. For example you could make yourself on the game an make you 20 for everything, as young as you want and put yourself into the team that you are going to be.

Nyron Nosworthy is absolutely excellent!
I bought him for Arsenal and he gets a 9 or 10 every game and he's really cheap. A must buy!
1)your formation should be a flat 4-4-2, with the wingers making forward runs (to AM R/L) and the central midfielders making backward runs (to DMC).
In central midfield you should play defensive midfielders only. Sell paul scholes, ole solskjaer, diego forlan, nicky butt, roy keane and ryan giggs.
You will now be filthy rich!! (this will take some time though, it toook me three seasons to get the invincible squad I have now - be patient!!)
2)PLAY KLEBERSON. He is surprisingly brilliant and reasonably young. 3)righty-ho, this is how my team lines up:
GK-Barthez
DR-Phil Neville
DL-John O'Shea
DC-Rio Ferdinand
DC-Mikeal Silvestre
MR- C. Ronaldo
ML-Arjen Robbem
MC-Kleberson
MC-Djemba-Djemba
FC-R. Van N..
You absoloutly must buy this guy. The name is Evandro Roncatto. He is 17 at the beginning of the game. On his debut, he scored 2 goals. One was an amazing curling shot from the dead ball line, a bit like the one figo scored against man-u.
Happy Scoring
After one season if you are a good team like chelsea, man utd or real madrid then you can sign some worldclass players on free tranfers as thier contracts expire after one season they are Edgar Davids(amazing),Thierry Henry, Guti and many more.
I found some great young players on my game like a star striker gianpaolo pazzini, Aaron lennon, jan kristiansen and the young goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Ok, if you buy these players you are bound to do well. To find these players, all you need to do is go onto quick search and type in these names :-
Diego (becomes amazing)
Wright-Phillips (becomes England midfielder)
Lucio (ready-made world-class player)
Anelka (becomes world-class rated striker)
Tevez (brilliant young striker)
Barton (earns caps for England ahead of Gerrard)
Joaquin (explosive young midfielder)
Paul Robinson (amazing young goalkeeper)
Batistuta (old but very cheap and very good)
Romario (like Batistuta)
Goater (awful stats but always scores)
Cristiano Ronaldo (exciting young midfielder)
Nicky Weaver (good, cheap back-up goalkeeper)
Torres (becomes a goal machine)
Scott Parker (great young England..
Before the season starts get all these players that are listed because they are worth it:
1. Frey ( plays for parma, what a shot-stopping keeper).
2. Coboda (I think that is how you spell his name, his plays for Inter Milan).
3. H. Nakata (he plays for parma).
4. Gerrard (he plays for liverpool I think his better than beckham).
5. Martins (he plays for Inter milan, his a goal scoring machine).
6. Andrino (I think that is how you spell his name he plays for parma, he doesn't stop scoring).
Trust this player is well good he is only 21 from nec in holland I got him for 3.5 million and paired him up with van nistlerooy they have scored 30+ goals each.
Well I am into my third season at Chelsea, I have won the premiership in my first seaon, the fa cup, league cup, and I have won the championsleague 2 times in a row.

This is cool,
It lets you change player names, stats, stadiums and capacity, team names and create new players!
When you go on to the screen were the champ manager and readme underneath is editor. Go on that and follow instructions.
If you've chosen a small database and now you want a large one, I have worked out how.
On the screen at the beginning where you can make a new game or resume your last game, click on game options, edit preferances. Choose a large database and then go and resume a game. You will now have a large database.
Canizares - get him when his contract expires.
Abbiati - good keeper
Lucio - one of the best defenders
T.Henry - you know who he is! get him after the first season because his contract expires
Jermaine Jenas - Newcastle player, gets 8,9 or 10s every game.
Diego Martinez - best midfielder
Patrik Viera - another great midfielder
Pavon - great defender!
Perez - 19 years old and he's already a star
Ian Harte - he gets 8s and 9s every game
James Graham - 17 years old, scores every game, 8s and 9s every game
Pretend u manage real madrid and u spent all their money and u want more money u resign as manager and add manager again as real madrid, u will see the board would have given u 31m for transfer funds I've been doing this for 5 seasons running.

As well as Brazil, Argentina has some great talent. Go to river plates team and offer contracts to both the hussains and dominguez.

Other great young players are fernando cavenagi(argentina/river), kim kallstrom, a young swede, the dane jan kristenson, david bellion(great pace), rob friend(canada/moss trust me on him,a minimum release of 400,000,bought him with real madrid and was soon worth 13.5m), mike duff(decent defender in 3rd division in england,young and tackling is 18), mirislav klose (the big german is well worth it bagging 30+ a season), almost every player with 20 pace/acceleration and try playing cristiano ronaldo up front inst..
