Hidden Gemsdays - Week 1

First of all I would like to give a quick introduction to this series and what it will be about. Every Wednesday, we will be taking the players from Squad Builder Sundays who are under appreciated and under priced and create a special new team out of it.

So for the first members of this team, we will be taking three players from the Belgian Squad Builder. These players have actually become three of my favourite players of the year and are so undervalued that you probably won't play anybody with these players.

First up we have the only gold player and the most expensive player, and that is going to be Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne is a reasonably cheap, Bundesliga in form who you can pick up right now for around 30k. He is an incredible all round player with decent pace, dribbling and attacking play but I think he belongs on the left hand side simply because his five star weak foot allows for the perfect cut inside and shot. He has four star skills for all you skill players out there which is decent for a CM and is able to walk through teams on occasion. His shot is formidable allowing you to score montage worthy long shots from anywhere on the pitch. All in all, he's a great player and his price is on the rise, so pick him up and if he doesn't play well, just trade him for a profit.

Next we have our RB, Ritchie De Laet. This guy has incredible pace and decent defensive stats making him a formidable wing back, but he also has great attacking stats and a tendency to get up the pitch and support the forwards. For around 1800 coins on Xbox Live, this player is a great find and so undervalued, you may be able to get him for under 750 coins.

Finally, we have the beasty Jonathan Legear from the Russian League. This player is unbelievably good and for only 750 coins I highly recommend you stop reading this blog, turn on your console and buy him now because you will not regret it. With high pace and dribbling, this player will run rings around the opposing LB, allowing you to get in that game winning cross/shot. Speaking of his shot, you may remember me mentioning it in this weeks Squad Builder Sunday. Since then, I have played a tonne of games with said team and it has been so fun, but the stand out stat from the whole team is that Legear, on average, scores 2.5 goals every game. I don't know where EA have gotten this 69 shot from because really that should say 100 OP, because if he misses you have done something terribly wrong. So go out and buy him now, even if it means building a team around him, but with the Russian league being so good and so cheap, you can't go wrong.

Ok guys, this is it from Hidden Gemsdays, but please let me know what you think of it and what you want to see in the future. This weeks Squad Builder Sunday I'm going to bring you some Scots and let you know what I think of them. If there are any Scottish players you would like to see reviewed, just leave me a message in the comments and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. So until Sunday, Peace!
