Best Young AMCs
Not as fresh faced as wonderkids, we're classing 'young' as players 23 or under on your first FM22 save.
From ready-made stars to players waiting to make their breakthroughs, there's something in this list for everyone. Just make sure you swoop in before another European titan gets there first.
Mason Mount (CA 160 - PA 168)
Age: 22
Club: Chelsea
Value: £70-£108 million
Wage: £77,000 a week
Already billed as the next Frank Lampard, and destined to become Chelsea's captain, Mason Mount is a player that oozes class.
Whether you're attempting to prize him away from London or simply turning Chelsea into world-beaters, Mount should be at the forefront of your mind.
Kai Havertz (CA 159 - PA 180)
Age: 22
Club: Chelsea
Value: Not for sale
Wage: £150,000 a week
A Premier League superstar with all the attributes to become a modern legend, Kai Havertz has already conquered the Champions League.
His stock is as high as ever, but his first Premier League season wasn't ideal. Still, Chelsea will not want to get rid of their young talent.
Joao Felix (CA 159 - PA 177)
Age: 21
Club: Atletico Madrid
Value: £79-£121 million
Wage: £155,000 a week
A big-money move to Atletico Madrid hasn't seen Joao Felix move on to the next level, but he is still a very talented player.
It will take another hefty bid to bring him to your club, but you could be the manager to get the best out of the Portuguese.
Pedri (CA 155 - PA 175)
Age: 18
Club: Barcelona
Value: £68-£87 million
Wage: £66,000
The Barcelona hotshot with a release clause worth £1 billion, Pedri could be the biggest wonderkid in FM22.
His versatility across a number of attacking positions puts him in a league of his own this year.
If you get the chance to sign him, you simply can't pass it up.
Phil Foden (CA 155 - PA 175)
Age: 21
Club: Manchester City
Value: £50-£77 million
Wage: £120,000 a week
From Pep's pet project to the Gascoigne hairstyle at Euro 2020, Phil Foden has certainly risen to stardom over the past few years.
Destined to win multiple personal accolades, and with many trophies already in his locker, Foden is unlikely to depart the Etihad.
Never say never, but there is no doubting that Foden will be one of the stars of FM22.
Martin Odegaard (CA 155 - PA 178)
Age: 22
Club: Arsenal
Value: £94-£114 million
Wage: £115,000 a week
Arsenal seems to have captured one of the signings of the summer when they snatched former wonderkid Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid.
An incredible player with a wand-like left foot, the Norwegian attacking midfielder could be the man to lead Arsenal back to glory. Could you be the manager that helps him achieve that goal?
Dani Olmo (CA 152 - PA 166)
Age: 23
Club: RB Leipzig
Value: £45-£69 million
Wage: £66,000 a week
Dani Olmo is back to terrorise oppositions defences in FM22 with killer passes and incredible dribbling stats.
A Spanish midfielder with a ton of class doesn't exactly subvert stereotypes, but there's nothing typical about Leipzig's star. He's quick and clever, and he needs to be in your team.
Pedro Goncalves (CA 151 - PA 161)
Age: 23
Club: Sporting CP
Value: £34-£42 million
Wage: £21,500 a week
Finishing as the Premiera Liga top scorer, included in the Premiera Liga Team of the Season, and picking up Premiera Liga Best Young Player for the second year in a row, Pedro Goncalves is making a mark in Portugal.
Bring him to your squad and he should guarantee you goals, with top dribbling to get into the box and supreme finishing once he gets there.
Nicolo Zaniolo (CA 150 - PA 171)
Age: 22
Club: Roma
Value: £50-£61 million
Wage: £76,000 a week
Jose Mourinho might be reluctant to let go of his Italian rising star, but we reckon a big offer could take Nicolo Zaniolo away from Rome.
A pass master with a decent burst of pace, Zaniolo is ready-made to succeed at the highest level in any of Europe's top leagues. It's up to you to take him there and help him realise his potential.
Dejan Kulusevski (CA 148 - PA 170)
Age: 21
Club: Zebre (Juventus)
Value: £55-£83 million
Wage: £76,000 a week
Dejan Kulusevski has top passing and vision to find the most deadly ball.
He is also very versatile, able to excel on the right, as well as fill in on the left, as a centre mid, or a striker.
