Liam Delap (64 OVR / 84 POT)

Team: Manchester City
Age: 18
Wage: £8.100
Value: £1.5 million
Biggest Strengths: 78 Sprint Speed, 74 Acceleration, 73 Strength

Delap is the last guy in our category, but that doesn’t mean that he is the least worthy of them all! Still very young, he has had the opportunity to train with athletes in Manchester City, so the experience may be lacking, but the knowledge is surely there. With proper training, Delap could become a true force in the offense! And he is very cheap to sign, so no need to think more when it comes to this player!

Andreas Schjelderup (66 OVR / 84 POT)

Team: FC Nordsjaelland
Age: 17
Wage: £500
Value: £775k
Biggest Strengths: 79 Acceleration, 82 Agility, 87 Balance

One could think that the deal that Andreas has is a joke and is probably a glitch in the matrix. However, the deal is legit, and for that amount of money, you could receive a fast, agile, and prolific striker in your team. Yes, the player is still very young and hasn’t had a chance to prove himself in the big spotlight teams, but we believe that shouldn’t be a problem for Andreas. He has shown great signs of becoming a striker like Harry Kane, and you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to sign him if there is a spot available!

Rabbi Matondo (71 OVR / 84 POT)

Team: Cercle Brugge
Age: 20
Wage: £5.600
Value: £4.1 million
Biggest Strengths: 94 Acceleration, 90 Sprint Speed, 87 Agility

This striker is very fast, and agile and is very good at handling the ball. Apart from that, he creates his own opportunities, as Cercle Brugge could be a small market for him to showcase all of that. However, the OVR skills revolving around his speed and dribbling abilities are the brightest points in his resume, so you shouldn’t think twice if you could sign Matondo to your team. He could be developed further into a

Joe Gelhardt (69 OVR / 84 POT)

Team: Leeds United
Age: 19
Wage: £18.000
Value: £3 million
Biggest Strengths: 75 Ball Control, 73 Balance, 74 Acceleration

Another young gem that has had high playing experience in the Premier League can be found in Joe Gelhardt. The team was very satisfied with his performance, and the deal that they have on him shouldn’t be a problem for your financial funds. He can provide you with very well offense, striking and dribbling abilities, something that is very well utilized by the right manager.

João Pedro (71 OVR / 84 POT)

Team: Watford
Age: 19
Wage: £18.000
Value: £4 million
Biggest Strengths: 79 Acceleration, 80 Agility, 76 Sprint Speed

Pedro is a very valuable asset to Watford, and he has surely been one of the brightest stars for Watford, despite the relegation that this team has suffered this year. This may be one good reason that Pedro could be on the move soon rather than later, which would provide him with more playing time and more chance for him to improve his OVR rating. So, Pedro could only grow from here, as he already has a decent experience in the Premier League on his resume!

Abdallah Sima (72 OVR / 84 POT)

Team: Stoke City
Age: 20
Wage: £13.500
Value: £5 million
Biggest Strengths: 89 Sprint Speed, 86 Acceleration, 81 Stamina

This striker possesses high sprint speed, acceleration, stamina, and jumping abilities, and you would surely love to have such a versatile player in your position. He is also a player that has a decent height, so scoring from corner strikes would be an ease for this guy. Sima is currently playing for Stoke, and the $5 million that the team is looking for him is not “unrealistic” or “fantastic”, as this striker has shown that he

Sebastiano Esposito (68 OVR / 85 POT)

Team: FC Basel
Age: 19
Wage: £3.600
Value: £1.2 million
Biggest Strengths: 71 Acceleration, 75 Ball Control, 74 Dribbling

FC Basel is possessing an unbruised gem in their rotation, more precisely at the ST position. Esposito is a very good, strong, young, and potent player that is showcasing his abilities game in and game out. The OVR rating could be better, but the 85 potentials along with the dribbling and ball control abilities make him very easy to be utilized in the proper team. As a manager, make sure that you don’t miss on these kinds of opportunities.

Mohamed-Ali Cho (70 OVR / 85 POT)

Team: Angers SCO
Age: 17
Wage: £2.500
Value: £3.3 million
Biggest Strengths: 85 Acceleration, 82 Sprint Speed, 81 Dribbling

Mohamed-Ali is a very strong player on the offensive end, as he has shown on multiple occasions that he can score from different positions. This makes him very likable to the high-caliber scouts, as it’s safe to say that he has already outgrown the environment he is playing in. Sure, the OVR rating isn’t very high, but it’s very promising due to his age and the fact that he is playing for a low-profile team that doesn’t have the facilities to utilize him properly. So, make sure you’ll have him on your list as a potential signing!

Cole Palmer (67 OVR / 86 POT)

Team: Manchester City
Age: 19
Wage: £18.000
Value: £2.4 million
Biggest Strengths: 78 Sprint Speed, 76 Acceleration, 77 Agility

Palmer has proven himself as a stable and reliable choice in the offense, but he is so young and he still has so much to learn. But, the maturity, potential, and work ethic are all here, as this youngster is looking for a bigger amount of playing time to prove his skills further! Due to his age and inexperience, the deal that he currently has is a very cheap one, so make sure that you’ll use these opportunities and sign players like Palmer to your rotation!

Dane Scarlett (64 OVR / 86 POT)

Team: Tottenham Hotspur
Age: 17
Wage: £3.100
Value: £525k
Biggest Strengths: 74 Acceleration, 76 Jumping, 69 Balance

Scarlett is a young, inexperienced player that has very high potential and very good OVR skills for his age. Unfortunately, Tottenham already has a high-caliber striker in Kane, so his abilities could be utilized elsewhere. And rest assured, the team that’ll sign him will be more than blessed with his presence on the offensive end.

At only 17 years of age, he provides a very mature playstyle and is able to score effectively. However, there is more to learn for this youngster, as we predict that he could be one of the best strikers in the league for years to come. That is if Tottenham decides to keep him, otherwise, the blessings that this guy brings will be used by another team, and for such a small amount of money!
