Fabulous Players of CM 01/02: Maxim Tsigalko
Here is an analysis of the best player of the CM series.
CM, or Championship Manager, is one of the most addictive games. There are millions of people playing this game worldwide. Many of them are interested in sports like me. I have been playing CM series for four years and searching over the talented players, youngsters and wonderkids. This is actually one of the aims of CM game. I aim to find wonderkids and train them to be a legendary player in their professional football careers as other cm fans do. This article is about the best players of all CM series. They are not an ordinary players. They are legendary players of this game.
Maxim Tsigalko:
To many CM fans, Maxim Tsigalko is the best player of all CM series. However, he shows his talents especially in CM 01/02. He starts to his football career at a Belarussian football club Dinamo Minsk as a striker. He has a great finishing property. It is set to 20 after the first season. Someone should stop him before he kicks the ball, otherwise the result is inevitably goal. After one year passing in Dinamo Minsk, he transfers to the biggest teams of Europe like Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool. If are lucky and aware of this player, you can buy this player. He is not as expansive as most of the people think. You can get him by very low cash. He plays as a striker and kicks goals and make assists. He always gets along with his teammates. He is loyal to the club. You can sell him to bigger clubs in your future plans. If you play this in forward zone as an individual striker, you can get better results. However, you should put a good attacking midfielder behind him to assist.
Maxim Tsigalko plays at the right of forward region since he uses his deadly right foot. Even though he is not good at accelerating and dribbling , his goal scoring capability in one-to-one positions are extremely good.He frustrates the goalkeeper in one-to-one positions.
Here is some of screenshots showing his extreme football.




interesting article, my son will surely be very happy to read about this,i’ve already quit playing games,thanks
I’m not a gamer anymore but I still enjoy the simple ones!
i mis ur talent tsigalko..
with tsigalko I always win every leaugue I play.
maxim you are legend
In CM 01/02,he is really legandary.However,my favourites are Evandro Roncatto,Diope,Krasen Trifonov and Carlos Tevez in CM 03/04.
Don’t forget to talk about Sergey Nikiforenko and Carlos Jacques. They are the best attacking midfielders of CM series.
Daha birçok böyle futbolcu var. Rodallega, Simonetta, Cerci, Pazzini bunlardan sadece birkaç tanesi.
Tsigalko is not a good player in real time. He is just one of the bugs of that game like To Madeira or Tonton Zola.
The players of the game CM01-02 can also buy Volodonko(Belarus), Milevskiy(Belarus),Mark Kerr(Scotland) and Lee Chun-Soo(South Korea)!
Thanks
hip..hip…hura… tsigalko is the best striker and aghahowa is a good player too
Maxim wow, i discovered this guy in season 4 of my career he had moved to leverkusen i paid 18million quid for him to bring him to united and wow never looked back – (annoied the hell out of my bro when we started an italian league and i could buy him straight away haha go MAXIM!
the best…. try to use it side by side with Tó Madeira… doble team is better… lol
i think maxim is a good player because he scored 59 goals and got 34 assists in all comps in one season for my marseille team. My four strikers are drogba, mido, tsigalko, dagoberto. also sergy nikiforenko is wicked at assists
I’ve never bought him, because I always find it impossible for him to get a work permit. Anyone know a way round this?
I’ve nver managed to get a work permit for him either. I always go for alonso solis(free transfer), luisao (striker, possibly corinthians) and guillherme (atl.mineiro). mark kerr, assane n’diaye(shaktar), agahowa(shaktar), isaak orokonowo (def, shaktar) and andre d’allessandro are all very good too.
Hello guys!
Let me give U a few tips..:D .cause I RULE at CM 01-02..
tsigalko is the best!
Also look for To Madeira, Joao Paiva, Marc Kerr, Mirel Radoi, F. Risp, Alex Iglesias, Vicy, M. Lindgrasmo, Harbuzzi,agahowa, Isaak Orokonowo, Carlos Marques…
Alos a tip..use a 1-4-1-2-1-2 formation..
I do not mentione playes like Ronaldinho or Cannavaro because they are good alsoin real life.
Good luck!
David Collins at Radcliffe. scores hundreds of goals in his first seasons. buy him for 10k. bargain buy of the game. Aside from him…here is my dream team.
Hugo Pinheiro (Marinhense)
Taribo West (Free) Fredrik Risp(IFK Goteborg)
David Prutton (Nottm Forest) Michael Carrick (West Ham) Mike Duff ( Cheltenham)
Kim Kallstrom (Hacken) Mark Kerr (Falkirk) Stefan Selakovic (Halmstad)
David Collins( Radcliffe) Justin Georcelin(Northampton) Enjoy!!!
Hollo,
i try a wonderfull solution for every problems of money or player….
with a little change in file editor, you can have a fantastic team, with giant stadium, legendary player, incredible staff and money, much money….
But if you like a regular game, i give to you this names of young, cheapest and good players:
Andey Milevsky, L. Kovacevic ( free ), Panucci, Torrado, Foucini ( free ) Castillo ( free )
A little expensive, but very good player: Zè Elias Bonera.
Good game to all.
abgar barsom for amc or amr. very very good
not a patch on CHERNO SAMBA. Samba is god
ANDREW MAINWARING!!
i have brought in alot of these players into teams of mine & aa majority of them have certainly performed, but To Madeira doesnt tend to, should i give him a seasion ot two beore i sign him?, i play as Celtic in some of my gamee, is he good enough?, or am i just not giving im enough time to develop?
Tsigalko is something else, class!
Just buy Marcin Harasimowicz from Gwardia Warszawa. 18 years old, ridiculous price and lots of 20’s he’s the Polish Tsigalko
Shane Tolley is fantastic!!!Belarus players are awesome…i don’t know why,but it’s like that.
Problem is work permit. :/
Very good defender is David Klimek from Fortuna.You can sign him on free after a first season.
Good luck!
you want the best player ever he is way more better than tsigalko or dunwell buy jeh jeh pezpak
Hugo Pinheiro GK buy him for around 100K at the beginning of the 01-02 game, hes quality
How can i find tsigalko in this game?
If you prefer a challenge and begin in lower leagues, here are a few names who will be of great benefi to you on a low budget;
Brian McCallister (DF C/L) Free
Scott Jones (DF C/L) 50k from Bristol Rovers after half a season.
Darren Kelly (DF R/C) 20k from Derry City
Peter weatherston (S) 100k after 10 international apps from Q-o-S
These players will perform throughout all leagues or make you a good profit!
Other players if you start the game with a higher league team;
Kallstrom AM C (hacken)
Delios GK (Aris)
Lescott DFC (wolves)
Lucic DF R/C (Swedish club)
Damien Johnson AM R (blackburn)
Werhman MC (Moss)
Okorwonko DFC (shaktar)
More players can be given if requested. This is proven with Cardiff, Carlise, Hearts, Wolves, Kidderminster, Hull etc
I have established all these teams in their top league and cup finals within 5 / 6 seasons dependin on which league it is!
Hi there, I’m from Hungary so sorry for my english.
I tried Tsigalko and To Madeira but both of them weren’t as good as it is shown on the pictures above, (I tried them in Man Utd, I don’t know what can be the problem, maybe the Premier League is too hard for them). Tsigalko scored 25-30 goals per season in about 50-55 matches, we rule England but we played only 2 ECC finals under 10 years. I also tried a lot of famous players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Figo, Totti, but they weren’t enough good too.
I always play 4-4-2, I guess I should try the 4-1-2-1-2
3 5 2 is attaking the best formation but u need great defenders also a good attaking midfilder [eg agahowa or moukoko also i agree samba is god tsigalko is good but samba is the titts
Stanislaw Terlecki, same club as Harasimowicz and is also only 16 years of age
4-1-2-1-2 is the best formation to use. Ive been playing the game for around 7-8yrs and this is my favourite formation. Also the 4-3-1-2 is good also.
Havent heard anyone mention:
Christian Chivu (Ajax)
Tieme Klompe (Heerenveen)
Jonas Lunden (IFK Goteborg)
Emil Debski (Dalum)
Gareth Jelleyman (Peterborough)
David Livermore (Millwall) etc.
Its true Tsigalko is a class player, and Samba too.
Belarusian players are ace, and look at players from Shakhtar Donetsk. Theres a Japanese player called Daisuke Oku who is good when hes eligible for a work permit.
Dionisis Chiotis (AEK) class keeper as well as Antonis Voulgaris (Apollon).
Check out Michael Dunwell (Bishop Auckland) becomes a top player after you have left him in reserves for a few years.

For real cheap options, where the players have amazing stats in just a few areas so their still mint, try; Steve Barnes, Stuart Brightwell, Mike Duff, Richard Sadlier, Leon Constantine, Teddy Lucic, Daniel Andersson (Both a GK and a ST with this name are mint), Tommy Andersson, Swedish, Greek and Portugese leagues and Shaktar all have lots of cheap but excellent players!
hi danny,
i got to 2069 cuz i play champ 01/02 like all the time. Best players now is Izurmomabitch and yehsheas. Their like nearly all 20’s!
About the work permit for Tsigalko: offer him “indispensable for the squad” status and the biggest contract that your team can give (even if it’s 4 mil dollars, he deserves every cent).
I usually buy him for 3.1 mil. dollars, or 1.6 + 1.8 after 50 league matches (almost one and a half season)
I usually use WWW2 tactics and i put him to man-mark the opposing keeper! That way he can score more than 100 goals per season!
great maxim tsigalko.
tevez and mascherano, 17 years in cm 01/02. They are free when the game start. Hard training and they are ready to play for the first team in year 04 or 05.
pawel Brozek,Sergey Nikiforenko,Eldar Hadzimehmedovic,Santa Cruz(cerro),avalos,To madeira,Marko Croce,kerr,Cherno Samba,gk Voulgaris and Chiotis(aek)and the best player is Andrey Milevskiy….cm 01-02 is the besssssssst
how do you get your strikers to man mark the goal keeper.when i try to set it up in the tactics,my striker will only mark the centre half

my team
saja gk
Duff RB Bouma LB {cheap back up} Kalogeras Andrielos, terry
petrov cambiasso DM D,Alessandro Mid Schewwleff at,bruno att mid and cheat mode up front gives u the best team in england and europe trust me
You have to put him to man-mark when you are in match, before you click on kick off; enter your team tactics, right-click on him, click on marking (the last line), click on man, and then select the keeper’s name.
You can only put him to man-mark the keeper after you click proceed to match, so you have to repeat it every match. If the opposing keeper is sent off, go back and select the new player in the keeper position
(the keeper’s substitute or an outfield player if the dummy manager made all substitutions)
Good luck!

MAGIC TEAM!
Those players are great…
I started my season on Machico (I bought João Paiva and Tó Madeira) ->> got to Vit. Guimarães (I bought Tó Madeira and Maxim Tsigalko) ->> got to Sporting CP (I bought Tó Madeira, Maxim Tsigalko and Eldar Hadzimehmedovic) ->> got to Portugal and Sporting at a time (best Portugal Manager in 5 years)
lol i was always buying the same players… Tó Madeira was with me with all my clubs…
Some of the players I bought too are: Neri Alberto Castillo (MAE), Ernesto Cristialdo (young DC with great expectations), Paulo Ferreira (DD) and Pontus Farnernud (DE) (he’s actually in Sporting in real and I didn’t know O.o). Tota is a young keeper with great expectations too. Volodenkov, Din. Minsk player, is a good player too.
Awesome players and worked with them:
Dionisis Chiotis, Sebastian Frey, Petr Cech, Hugo Pinheiro, Gino Coutinho, Gianluigi Buffon, Francesco Toldo
John Terry, Ibrahim Said, Taribo West, Ashley Cole, Vincent Candela, Walter Samuel, Fabio Cannavaro, Javier Zanetti, Tieme Klompe, Isaac Okoronkwo
Assane N\’Diaye, Patrick Vieira, Damiano Tomassi, Stephan Appiah, Kaká, Marat Izmailov, Francesco Totti, Arjen Robben, Juan Sebastian Verón, Johan Elmander, Harry Kewell, Vitaly Kutuzov, Matteo Brighi, Gianluca Zambrotta, Emerson, Denilson, Andrea Pirlo, Jussi Kujala, Kennedy Bakircioglu
Ronaldinho, Luis Saha, Hernan Jorge Crespo, Vincenzo Montella, Djibril Cissé, Emmanuel Olisadebe, Gabriel Omar Batistuta, José Saturnino Cardozo, Besart Mazreku, Justin Georcelin, Cherno Samba, Mirko Vucinic, Zlatan Muslimovic, David Trezeguet, Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Joao Pinto, Mark Viduka, Roman Vasilyuk
and so on, these are from my head atm
I already have seen Tsigalko but didnt try yet, but now Im curious and I will
A CM0102 fan from Hungary
A lot of great players are mentioned above, but i think some players are missing. For example Meysam Javan and Lee Croft. Javan plays for IFK Trelleborg in Sweden. They wont disappoint you! : )
I tried to work my way up without buying any of these players. There’s so many, there’s just nothing left to buy anymore
I couldn’t even challenge for any title!
So I went on to buy only To Madeira and Maxim Tsigalko and became 4 times champions in a row.
One word. Brozek.
My favourite player on CM01/02 is Tommy Wirtanen of Finnish team, MIFK. He was a young player with heaps of potential and in one certain saved game of mine, he dominated for me down the right wing and didn’t let the pressure of playing for FC Barcelona get to him. Tommy Wirtanen – Great player.
Hugo Rodallega is my favourite one. He was transferred to Wigan. Here is the transfer new of Rodallega.
Wigan completed the signing of Rodallega from Mexican side Necaxa in January 2009.
He had a nomadic early career in South American and Mexican football, playing for Deportes Quindío, Deportivo Cali, Monterrey and Atlas before arriving at Necaxa.
The Colombian international was prolific for his country at youth level before graduating to the senior team in 2005. He was part of the full squad at the 2007 Copa America and was forced to go in goal following the dismissal of Robinson Zapata.
good players to buy

Gamers and football fans though are increasingly looking to the net to provide higher quality football games either 3D console format games or football manager downloads. Now the net is not sentient and cannot respond directly to these searches but the people who use it are. Well most of them are sentient but this author suspects that an alarmingly large number of users are scoring very low on the Glasgow Coma scale.
The FIFA series and Championship (Football) Manager games are probably the best known and used football games in the business at the moment and this has been the case for over 10 years. You may thus say “It is therefore, my dear fellow, high time that the web designers got off their lazy updating backsides and invented something new” and you would be right. There are only so many updates you can make to Championship Manager before you actually make it easier to really manage a football club rather than virtually do it.
Football games have been lucky in that the technology has kept advancing and allowed so many new additions to be made to the original game formats but their complexity is such that people are now looking at diversifying the complexity away from the game parameters and into the internet.
My favourite player is of cource Ernesto Farias from River Plate.
This is the new published in Fifa official site about Ernesto.
Ninety-five goals in official games in the colours of Estudiantes de La Plata between 1998 and 2004 helped convince River Plate’s directors that Ernesto Farias was the right man to fill the void left by striker Fernando Cavenaghi, sold to Spartak Moscow.
Farias joined River Plate following a brief spell in the Italian league with Palermo in 2004. Despite only scoring twice for the Serie A side, the Millonarios were made to work hard at the negotiating table before they could bring their man back to Argentine soil. His ten goals this campaign, seven in the Clausura tournament and three in the Copa Libertadores, are testament to his ability in front of goal. However, Farias has not found the net since 24 April, when he scored in a 5-2 win over Almagro in the Argentinian Championship.
Still to find his feet in River Plate colours, the marksman is aware that the return match against Banfield is one of the most important games of his career so far and would be an ideal moment to end his barren spell. Nicknamed La Tecla (The Key), Farias knows that he will have to push all the right buttons in the upcoming clash to win over the demanding River fans.
The great Moukoko, who currently plays in the magical environs of the Swedish lower leagues, was actually misspelled Mokouko in the 2000-01 version of CM. At that stage of his career, he was a promising youngster at Derby County, apparently courted by the likes of Juventus, he lent an exotic bent due to the seven syllables of that majestic name and his Swedish/Ghanaian background. Also, he would sign for you even if you weren’t in the premier league and you didn’t need a pesky work permit.
The first time signed him I got him on a free from Derby – who weren’t even playing him in the first team, the fools – he gobbled up goals and was absolutely devastating in the central role of my midfield in my preferred 4-1-3-2 formation. Even now, years after his CM glory days, he has a Facebook appreciation group: men whose upper lips remain defiantly stiff at funerals go a big rubbery one when they remember the time he banged in two in the last four minutes to overturn a 3-4 deficit at home to Aberdeen in the Champions League semi-final of 2014-15. His success and reliability took man-love to new, twisted levels of absurdity. CM has, to date, been cited in over 35 divorce cases. I’m surprised it’s that low.

Tsi Dinamo Minsk takımıyla çıktığı 53 maçta 24 gol atmıştır.2006 yılında Naftan Novopolotsk takımına transfer olur.Orda ki başarısız sezonun ardından Kazak kulübü Kaisar Kyzylorda kulübüne gitti.Orda 21 maçta sadece 7 gol atabildi.Daha sonra FC Banants’da forma giydi ve 4 maçta 2 gol ve son takımı Savit Mahilyou kulübünde 6 maçta 2 gol kaydetti.Halen o kulübün formasını giyer.Şuan 26 yaşında olan “Gol Makinesi”‘nin 2003′te kazandığı Belarus Kupası ve 2004′te kazandığı Belarus Premier Ligi’nden başka başarısı yoktur.Milli takımda da 1 maçta 1 gole imza atmıştır.
Görüldüğü üzere bir CM Scout’nun raporu doğrultusunda bütün dünyada hayranları olan bir oyuncu olmuştur Tsigalko.Şimdi 13-18 yaş aralığında hangi gence sorarsanız sorun hepsi kendi ülkelerinin yıldızlarından daha çok tanır Maxim Tsigalko’yu.
Read all posts, and you all post great players, even though one is missing.
Arkadiusz Bak from Polonia.
He makes tons of goals and assists – just place him right behind your strikers and let him do his job!
i always buy tsigalko, no matters the team. but a player you will surely want is wael reyad. he is really cheap and you can find it in al-ahly. i would name to madeira, but he is unreal, so i reccomend you jonas lunden, from ifk goteborg and cherno samba, he is very young but when he gets the right age, he becomes in the best player. i recommen two “oldies”, taribo west, who is free at the beggining and radoslaw kaluzny, who is at cottbus and is the best defensive midlefier.
