FM 2010 :Jermain Defoe

Jermain Defoe,definitely one of the best striker in Premier League.



Based on my save game, he had 3 impressive seasons with Spurs.In his 1st season, he single-handed pushed Spurs into top4. In his 3rd season, with him banging goals for fun, Spurs are standing firmly on 2nd in league standing.

This is his stats for all 3 seasons in my game based on Patch 10.3.

Second Season:

In his second season, he played as much as 42 games and scored 29 goals and had a hand in another 14 goals scored by his teammates.

Third Season:

The season is still running...7 league games more but Defoe already scored 29 games.As if that's not enough, he also provided 13 goals...Another season where he scored 20 league goals.No wonder Spurs are standing firm at 2nd spot in league table...

Past Injuries Record:

Impressive fitness. The longest period he ever sidelined is 11 days.That's why in all 3 seasons, he played as much as 42 games,45 games...

FM Freak Kid Scout Report Conclusion:
In my save game,he is almost unstoppable...Great finishing...Stats might not be flowery like Crouch, Wayne Rooney but he is definitely around their level...if not better....

From my pov, these are the pros and cons of signing him.

Pros:
-Home Grown(nation)
-Consistent
-Great provider
-No problem in adapting for any team in Premier League
-Payable wage...(Wage stands around 50k+ for now in my game)
-Discipline player. Zero red cards in my game and less than 10 yellow throughout his 3 seasons.
-Fit and not injury-prone.

Cons:
-Won't come cheaply.English players are usually overpriced.
-Height is a concern...

Recommendation rate :

4 /5 stars
