CM 01/02 (Championship Manager 01/02) remains one of the most beloved football management sims. With the fan-made 3.9.68 patch you get updated databases, bug fixes, and improved scouting—making player selection even more fun. This post highlights the best players in the patched database across positions and suggests bargain finds and long-term stars to help build a title-winning side.

• Use short-term loans and free transfers to plug gaps while scouting long-term prospects.
• Run intensive scoring/finishing training on young forwards; set tailored training for key attributes (e.g., crossing for wingers).
• Assign set-piece duties to players with high technique and crossing for corners/free-kicks; taller players for heading.
• Exploit lower leagues: buy inexpensive starters from smaller nations, then sell after they rise in value to fund marquee signings.

• Javier Saviola (AM/ST): While a real-life star, in CM 01/02 he is obtainable relatively cheaply from River Plate at the start. He is a Guaranteed 20/20 season performer.
• Julius Aghahowa (Striker): Available from Shakhtar Donetsk. His pace and acceleration are 20. He runs onto through balls better than almost anyone. He creates goals out of nothing.
• Kim Källström (AM LC): The Swedish maestro. He starts at BK Häcken. His passing and technique are maxed out quickly. The perfect deep-lying playmaker.
• Mads Jørgensen (AM RC): Often overlooked, he provides incredible width and delivery from the right flank.
• Freddy Grisales (M RC): A Colombian winger who can be bought for very little. His crossing is elite, making him the perfect partner for a tall striker like Bakke or Samba.

Mark Kerr (Falkirk): A creative engine for the midfield. Available for a nominal fee, Kerr consistently outperforms his real-life career, becoming one of the best midfielders in the game. Essential Bargains and Free Agents cm 01 02 patch 3.9.68 best players
