BEST CHOICE

JULIAN WEIGL
Nationality: Germany 🇩🇪
Club (first season): Borussia Dortmund
Rating: 81
Potential (1): 87
Age: 22

Weigl is much more than a defensive player. He is the first attacker of any team. In other words, a full package.

AMADOU DIAWARA
Nationality: Guinea 🇬🇳
Club (first season): Napoli
Rating: 77
Potential (1): 87
Age: 20

Diawara is one of the most outstanding young players of the moment. It will not be easy to convince Napoli to sell him.

ONYINYE NDIDI
Nationality: Nigeria 🇳🇬
Club (first season): Leicester City
Rating: 77
Potential (1): 86
Age: 20

Ndidi is a very useful player because he can plays in several positions: CDM and CM are the most usual ones but he also has the skills needed to play as centre back. Good investment.

LEANDER DENDONCKER
Nationality: Belgium 🇧🇪
Club (first season): RSC Anderlecht
Rating: 79
Potential (1): 86
Age: 22

Dendoncker will not be much longer on Belgium. He’s too good to not be playing in one of the biggest leagues. He is a very balanced midfielder that doesn’t left anyone indifferent to his high stamina and strength.

RUBEN NEVES
Nationality: Portugal 🇵🇹
Club (first season): FC Porto
Rating: 77
Potential (1): 86
Age: 20

You probably are not impressed with his stats. But what if we told you that he can reach overall 80 in the end of the first season? Don’t forget that he is only 20.
