Hidden Gemsdays - Week 2

Hey guys! This week on Hidden Gemsdays, I'm going to be bring you some special players from our Scottish Squad Builder posted on Sunday. Some of these players are very surprising and equally cheap, earning them a position in our squad. Ok now the introduction is out of the way, let's get started.

First up, we have our bronze midfielder McCabe, from Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship. This CM put in some great performances and far out-shined his gold counterparts. With 76 pace and 69 dribbling he is an awesome attacking midfielder and for under 300 coins, an absolute bargain too.

Next it's going to have to be Gilks. This beast of a keeper from Blackpool in the Championship saved the team from an undeserved defeat on many an occasion, pulling of reflex saves and coming out on top in plenty of 1 on 1 situations. At only 6'1", he is a little bit shorter than I would like my keeper to be, but in game you can't really notice. For under 400 coins, he is definitely worth a look, and has earned himself the #1 position in this squad.

Next, at LB we have Lee Wallace from Rangers.This guy was fast, strong and always where he needed to be, whether in attack or defence. Assisting a couple of times and putting in match saving tackles plenty of times, he makes it into the team easily with a price tag of around 750 coins.

Lastly, we have Gary Caldwell, the Wigan CB. Caldwell turned out to be an absolute tank of a defender. He is a little bit lacking in pace, but he makes up for it with brute strength and presence. For under 400 coins, I'd recommend you pick him up now and try him out. If you're really lucky, you might even get him for discard value.

Now I would just like to mention two more players who are going to eventually be added to this squad.

First of all, Snodgrass will most likely feature because he was hands down the best player all round in the Scottish Squad, but I would like to pick up his IF version first to compare the two. Secondly Templeton will probably be on the subs for this team, but I need to find a Hearts version of his card for chemistry purposes and sadly there haven't been any on the market over the past few days.

Ok, that's it for this weeks Hidden Gems, but stay tuned for next weeks Dutch players who you will definitely want to go out and buy for your teams. Thanks for reading guys, and as always let me know what you think by leaving a comment. All criticism is appreciated; especially the positive kind. Peace!
