Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez, aka Isco (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈisko]; born 21 April 1992 in Benalmádena, Málaga, Andalusia), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Málaga CF mainly as an attacking midfielder.[1]

Club career

A product of Valencia CF's youth system, Isco made his debut with the first team on 11 November 2010, against UD Logroñés for the season's Copa del Rey, scoring twice in a 4–1 home win (7–1 on aggregate).[2] Previously, he spent one full season with the reserves in Segunda División B, scoring once in 25 games and suffering relegation.

Isco played his first La Liga game on 14 November 2010, playing 20 minutes in a 2–0 home win against Getafe CF, after replacing Aritz Aduriz.[3] In mid-July 2011, after helping the B-team return to the third level by netting 15 goals, he signed a five-year contract with Málaga CF, for €6 million.[4]

Isco scored his first goal for his new club on 21 November 2011, starting in a 3−1 away win against Racing de Santander.[5] He netted again the following week in a 2−1 win against Villarreal CF,[6] and finished his first season with 32 matches and five goals as the Andalusians qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.

On 18 September 2012, in Málaga's first game in the Champions League group stage, Isco scored twice in a 3–0 home win over FC Zenit Saint Petersburg, also being chosen as Man of the match.[7]

International career

Isco appeared with Spain's U17 in 2009 World Cup, scoring three times in the process as Spain finished third. In 2011, he represented his country, together with Málaga team mate Recio, in the FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Colombia, netting once in an eventual quarterfinal exit.

On 28 February 2012 Isco was called to the Spanish U23s for a friendly against Egypt, but did not leave the bench.[8] On 15 May he was picked for the first time to the senior team, for friendlies with Serbia and South Korea.

my playmaker in fm 2013


Yes, i bought a spanish player, he's that good.

His great grandmother had some cevapi in Sarajevo during her wild young years, the bosnian talent is obvious in him

ahh, thanks for helping my concience

I love this dude. Verratti can suck it.

This guy is amazign! I've seen a few games of him and he always surprises me. I see him more as a CAM but he could also work as a winger if you ask me, even an SS.

Yesterday's asssit to Eliseu vs. Milan was fantastic. He has so much talent and drivling on his feets.

<- Curva

He's the complete package.

You know how I know? Look at his photo, especially around the groinal area...

He replaced aguero as my "most wanted creative talent"


god if he is only half as amazing as he is in fm2013

Rumors says that he's going to Chelsea for 19M

Ofcourse he is, thats were quality little wizards end up these days, soon there will more class spanish players in EPL then La Liga

We arent in ze game, its Real or Barca who should regret the opportunity of signing him, even if they dont need him right now.

I know that we are not in the move for him. Is just that I wish he wouldn't go to Chelsea, I hate that club for some reason. And they already have an amazing midfield in three quarters, Mata-Oscar-Hazard is simply great. I'm afraid that he could stall his career.

Chelsea do need a creative midfield player, they are really lacking in this area.

Fucking Benitez.

Yeah I wouldnt call Oscar a creative midfielder, more of an excellent link up player/box to box (in the timid sense, not EPL/African style).

and whats mata?

Mata deffo is creative, but there is room to play him with Isco, since he is playing fake winger/wingforward upfront, then dictating AM as such (though their attacking midfield trio has alot of freedom).


Benitez doesnt even like Oscar anyways, so even more opportunity for Isco, not that Benitez would be around if Isco signs in the summer.

nah not sold there, they play about the same spot on the field, pl;us why play isco as a fake winger when you got hazard
