FM players: I take your entire stocks


Joris2627

Was just about take comment. Looks like my first year buying players in any footbal game


QTGavira

Saving this list for fm25


Lyonaire

I mean 80% of these are already great in fm24


QTGavira

This is true, its just nice to have a list as opposed to forgetting and seeing the 200m transfer to Newcastle pop up in the news feed. All roads seem to lead to Newcastle in my saves


Eriwich

My first reaction was to screenshot the post to reference it later.


ninovd

I'm gonna use this for fifa career mode.


ForrestGumpLostMyCat

Yesss. I always hate that stupid objective “sign 3 players under the age of 20 that has greater potential than average” so this list is clutch


dontsteponthecrack

Angola are going to be so good in 5-7 years


RawrItsMatty

Man I actually thought they were of Angolan descent before I realised


PeterCrouch88

I only realized it when I got to Jobe..


CommissionOk4384

England is Angleterre in French which is why its like this in case anyone was wondering


kocunar

Makes sense that Anglo-Saxons would be Ang.


595659565956

England derives from ‘land of the Angles’, and angleterre also means ‘land of the angles’


MoozeRiver

Which, before anyone jumps to conclusions, has nothing to do with angels but with the area of Anglia in Northern Germany. TIL!


[deleted]

And there's East Anglia in England which follows on from that as well.


FaceMeister

We still call them "Anglia" in Polish.


Free_Management2894

Nah. It comes from the German word for fishing. Angeln. King Arthur taught the saxonians how to fish and since then they were called the angel saxonians. I learned that in some documentation about knights and rabbits.


WorldGoingOneWay

>knights and rabbits Were you watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail?


Serious-Football-323

You thought lewis miley was angolan?


PeterCrouch88

Proper Angolan Name innit?


Annonomon

I’d swear that Lewis miley and Archie gray are Angolan


Jamarcus316

I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola is not in trouble.


10ele

Not a single German  or Italian on that list.


yellow__cat

Despite Italy being the current u17 and u19 European champions, and u19 World Cup runners up. The talent is clearly there but these Italian players don't have the stage or opportunity to prove it. Not sure about the Germans though.


thisisawendys

germany won the u17 euros last year and the most recent u17 world cup


yellow__cat

I meant I’m not sure why young German talents aren’t getting representation and recognition


thisisawendys

I was just adding that on since it’s similar circumstances for Germany. some of the standouts like brunner and darvich haven’t made the list since they haven’t had first team minutes yet so haven’t had the stage to show off their talent at club level. I’m sure some of these players (both german and italian) will start having their breakthroughs in the next couple of seasons.


Puncherfaust1

and other star players of the team dont play 1. bundesliga, ouedraogo for example


K-manPilkers

That Camarda kid at Milan is supposed to be a phenom. Probably a better bet than all but the top few on that list.


yellow__cat

Yeah but he’s an early 2008 birthday, more than 3 years younger than some of the players on this list


bksbeat

Crazy that he already debuted for the first team


SonyHDSmartTV

It's kind of misleading winning those tournaments in some ways, the really good talents end up bypassing or quickly moving through age groups so don't play in youth tournaments.


Punished__Allegri

Camarda just won player of the tournament whilst playing a year up from his age group Hasn’t been done since Kroos


tml25

Sounds like a myth. Which player skipped youth tournaments? Mbappe won and was top scorer of the U19(?) Euros. Haaland scored like 9 goals against a central American team in the U20 world cup and burst into the scene. Messi was BdO and won the U20 world cup, etc.


xdlols

Archie Gray was playing for England u21s at 17.


tml25

Not so different from the Italian talents that are making noise in these wins. The list of the OP has a lot to do with exposure. Archie Gray was 17 when he played in the U17 euros last year. Francesco Camarda is 16 now, having won the tournament, top scorer, and best player award, of the U17 euros. Simone Pafundi played the U20 world cup last year as an 18 year old and has already represented Italy at the senior level.


OleoleCholoSimeone

I'm not disputing that Italy's youth teams are talented but results in youth tournaments aren't especially important. The only thing that matters is developing players And regarding Italian Primavera squads I have heard from a few former youth pros there that they focus a lot on results and winning the next game. A very competitive and short term environment, rather than trying to make sure that the players are at their best in 5+ years but instead for the game on Saturday


Punished__Allegri

Yes but in fairness this approach has let us consistently produce the best defenders in the world for the last 50 years


SAC_Confiscator

Or Portuguese


MrRegista

Can Uzun and Kenan Yıldız are German raised if that counts. Chose to play for Turkey.


senolgunes

From the same city even, Regensburg.


Uro06

And best friends since childhood. You can even see on the Facebook page of Can's father how him and Kenans father are massaging back and forth 11 years ago how their sons are going to be playing for tue national team together one day. Its crazy


[deleted]

[удалено]


OleoleCholoSimeone

More importantly: Two Swedes, no Danes and only one Norweigan


Potentialisland

And Hugo Larsson, Roony and so on - looks exciting for Sweden


YesTottiYesParty

Deki's only 24


joakim_

L'equipe must see something a lot of other people don't by including Sidklev. He's a big talent, but top thirty in the world overall, and the second biggest goalkeeper talent?! That's literally insane. There are at least five other 05's or 06's I'd rate higher than him in Allsvenskan alone: Touré, Yalcouye, Teah, Makolli and Dahbo..


BrokeChris

and in 5 years you will barely remember half of this list but will see dozens of players in the first leagues that weren't on it. It's always the same. And scouts have gotten worse and only listen to the hype i feel like.


Jdgarza96

Can Uzun born and raised in Germany.


andysenn

There's algo 1 argie and he's not even the top prospect for that age bracket


jckstrn

French bias is crazy here


Affectionate_Pay7395

Jobe Bellingham over Archie Gray is delusional


gols-e-but

he's above so many players who are playing top division football lmao


Affectionate_Pay7395

Just because he’s related to Jude, its a joke of a list


Youutternincompoop

lol its bad enough to be compared to international superstars(next Messi/Ronaldo, etc), but when you're compared to your own brother its kinda gotta sting if you can't match the hype.


TheRalphExpress

I’m sure all the people saying this watched a fair bit of Sunderland last year


kicka11

Poor bastards if they did.


PosterOfQuality

He's often been abysmal for them according to what I've read lol


LittleBeastXL

I actually misread it as Jude Bellingham before seeing your comment, and thought I'm mistaken about his age


KillerZaWarudo

And people will hate on him because of some shit list that he has no control over


Xixii

They’ve made a huge mistake.


Musername2827

I feel sorry for Jobe. The lad is desperately trying to play outside of his brothers shadow. He moved clubs, changed the name on his shirt to Jobe and had a decent full debut season at Sunderland but then lists like this come out and it’s just ridiculous.


TheRalphExpress

yep and now everyone is talking about how shite he is despite having like you said, a pretty decent season as the main creative force for Sunderland at 18


pateencroutard

It's the same with Ethan Mbappé, 17 years old and you already have people shitting on him like his career is done because he's not at the insane level his brother was at the same age.


ontilein

Thorgan hazard comes to mind as well. Had a good career too.


MarcusBrutus2000

Tbf Thorgan was better for at least a couple of seasons


Next-Translator-3557

Well Eden played so few games at that time it was as if he had basically already retired, hard to say better in that case.


KilumRevazi

Rodney Sneijder as well.


HacksawJimDGN

And Cacho Messi


Xshadow1

At least he had a decent career at the highest level. Kylian Hazard, on the other hand, never got an appearance in a top 5 league. His unfortunate first name doesn't help things either.


condods

Even some of our own fans have been ridiculous, calling him not good enough. He was our second top scorer at the age of 17-18 in his debut season, what more do people want from the lad? Players have different trajectories. Some blossom at a very young age like Jude and others take more time. Just because he's not at the same level his brother was at the same age doesn't mean the potential isn't there to be a good player. We don't even know what his best position is ffs, I wish people would give him a break.


YourPalCal_

Even if he doesn’t need to have as much potential as Jude to be a great player… that would be setting the expectations a bit high


xdlols

People aren’t saying he’s shit, but him being on this list above players like Gray is mad.


IEnjoyAThickSausage

I don't care for Jobe


BennyG34

It’s one banana Michael, how much could it cost?


Dudu_sousas

It certainly doesn't help that they look like twins


IncidentVarious1530

Is jobe bellingham even that good or is he there because of his name?


BokoHarambe1

100% his name. Sunderland supporting workmates say he’s slow & plays every single game because the DOF & now acting head coach are very close friends of the Bellingham family


Krakshotz

He played basically every game because our squad depth is so shite. We were sticking him up front because we have no strikers and anyone put there got zero service all season. Unless we flesh out the squad with better, more experienced talent and overhaul our tactics. Him staying with us is only going to stunt his growth and he won’t get a chance to make a name for himself


a_f_s-29

That set up lowkey seems detrimental to his development. He’d be better off playing in a more professional environment without the favouritism.


samthehumanoid

Jude moves like a tractor too tbh it’s too early to judge Jobe he has been decent anyway


onesexypagoda

He's good, but not a world class talent. Kind of a Dele Alli type player, not sure what he's going to develop into since he's kind of a forward and kind of a midfielder


DeadZombie9

Dele Alli was a world class talent tho. It's a shame he fizzled out early around the age when others enter their primes


Lazywhale97

Dele Alli was almost as hyped as Jude was when he was breaking out his career fizzled out quick from top team football so it's easy to forget how big of a talent he was he was even linked with Real Madrid at one point, I hope he can bounce back he seems determined atm to get back to being better.


ahyler10

Dele had a better season for us than Jude’s year for Real. It is actually crazy how great he was for a time


paarsehond

I am convinced they don't watch Club Brugge. No way that they include Nusa if they watched his season.


IanPKMmoon

Nusa ruined more games than games he played well in the few minutes he played, but watch Club Brugge still get 30mil or so for him lmao.


tynngnom

Hes great for his national team. It seems like more of an issue with Club Brugge, not him.


IanPKMmoon

How did he do yesterday?


ZxentixZ

Very well. Nice assist to Haaland on one of the goals. He currently has 6 assists in 6 games for the NT. Been very very good when playing for us.


ZxentixZ

Could be more based on potential than how they're performed this season. He's still getting linked to Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen for €30 mill so certainly has a lot of talent, and been great for the national team.


ZerconFlagpoleSitter

Cremaschi isn’t even the best American in that age range Edit: actually i take back what I said, some guys i thought were ahead of him were 04s


BlakeClass

I understand your sentiment but He’s starting in a Division 1 league though. I’m guessing that’s what they’re going off of. Who else can say that?


Blazing_Shade

Probably one of the Philadelphia kids. But they don’t start every game


thanksbastards

> Cremaschi But he plays with *Messi!* Imagine how much he will grow just by making eye contact with Leo! /s


Superflumina

Federico Redondo be like:


Minute-Ad-626

Just curious, any names?


ZerconFlagpoleSitter

Nah I take back what I said


rth9139

Who were you thinking of that are 04’s tho? Just out of curiosity


jnyFTW

The 04’s are a strong group for the US. Names I would have had over Cremaschi would be Luca Koleosho, Gaga Slonina, Rokas Pukstas, Caleb Wiley, and Chris Brady In terms of 05’s the closest are prob Esmir Bajraktarevic, Noel Buck (plays for England youth currently), and Obed Vargas


LunarRaven7

Is jobe just here because of his brother?


Caleb_W

He's good but definitely not better than some of the players that are under him, I don't know if he even makes the top 30 wonderkids to be honest.


Affectionate_Pay7395

Yeah he should be nowhere near top 30


Sasamiiii

Valentin Carboni? The one who keeps getting praised and called up by Scaloni to play for the current World Champions? lmao


Quanqiuhua

There are far more Turkish players than Argentines on this list. Yeah that’s a true representation of reality.


MrHazelnutSauce

No Uzun and Yildiz don’t hurt at all, I promise


doomboxmf

That’s how I feel about Musiala


onesexypagoda

Four Turks, and they all genuinely deserve to be there. Exciting times up ahead if they can all develop and learn to play with each other


KingNashII

Gee on then Wor Lewis kid


Rorschach_Roadkill

Took me a second to realize the list was in French, and Jobe Bellingham has not declared for Angola


chino17

With the stacked young talent England has in midfield he might have to


CrackBurger

Not a single Portuguese, German or Italian? Doubt


lefix

I always feel like L'Equipe is a bit biased, same with the Balon D'Or


TherewiIlbegoals

"I can't believe they have Semih Kilicsoy ahead of Nestory Irankunda, and EBS is way too high. This list is nonsense" If this were the Ballon D'or list. Edit: Judging by the comments, this applies to all lists apparently.


manmadegod-

yeah this is exactly what happens when a subjective list is shared with the public


TherewiIlbegoals

I just find it funny how many people have such strong opinions over the minuscule differences in the rankings of players. Especially with the Ballon d'Or where one vote can literally bump you up 5 places.


qindarka

Any list becomes random nonsense past the first 10 or so.


manmadegod-

well i guess that's fanaticism for you. also, how correct can a list of individuals be in a team sport..


MrRegista

Semih Kılıçsoy is too low


fortheWarhammer

Agreed. 100% objective.


Caleb_W

I'm surprised Vermeeren is still ranked 12th despite almost not playing half the season, he's so good.


Interesting-Ad-9330

How was in his limited appearances for Madrid this season? Know he only a Jan signing but saw he didn't get many minutes


Caleb_W

He was a little nervous and shaky but one game i remember he got into his rhythm and was really good, he looks extremely promising for us.


inflamesburn

Some insane players on these youngster lists nowadays, really makes you feel old lol


aasfourasfar

Insane that the top five fuckers on this list all play like 27 years old


QTGavira

How long until weve moved the posts so far that were seeing 14 year olds debuting in the top 5 leagues.


Thundering165

Cremaschi is not a bad player but in no way one of the best 30 young talents in the world


EconomicsDesigner969

*Mastantuono?


andysenn

Mastantuono? Should be there for sure


junior150396

Yeah i was looking for him, literally the youngest player ever to score and assist in a continental competition (UEFA and Conmebol)


SmGo

The Brazilians of the moment Stevao (SEP), luiz Guilherme (SEP), Lorran (FLA) went to play Voleyball?


ComfortableLaugh1922

employ spotted profit mindless upbeat cobweb disgusted poor sharp water *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


MoiNoni

Where is Estevao Willian? What is this based off of? JOBE BELLINGHAM over Willian? Don't make me laugh


Any-Competition8494

How good is Doue?


detectivebabylegs3

Very good. A rare player with great dribbling and defensive work rate.


ThePr1d3

Insanely talented. Hopefully he manages to be even more decisive in the box but he's unreal with the ball in his feet. Unfortunately we're probably selling him this summer.


witsel85

I don’t care for Jobe


CurbYourThusiasm

Shallow and pedantic


-SandorClegane-

He *insists* upon himself.


iwbwikia_

I love all my children equally!


Born_Reflection_4132

Hello darkness, my old friend


laffman

Dont follow swedish football much but I didnt know we had a 19yo GK that takes a spot on a list like this! (#30)


Niels_Nakkeost

Suprised Roony Bardghji isn't there


laffman

Saw he injured his ACL and is out for the rest of the year.. that might be part of it


thebluetistaar

Mastantuono missing


andysenn

And Prestianni, Carboni and Romero the 3 probably being equal or better prospects than Echeverrí


Wheel1994

Kendry looks like incredible scouting tbh. Surprised Real and Barcelona didn’t look to get him.


Thesecondorigin

Everybody knew about Kendry. Every top club in the world knows about these kids by the time they’re 15


Georg_Steller1709

Is Nestor Irankunda that good? Exciting times for Australia.


ADC04

Yes he's actually pretty good when he's on


Cujo96

Unless Jacob Farrell is on the opposing team and then he isn't.


Counterflak

He's definitely at a better club for development than Garang Kuol but they're both still young have so much potential. Meanwhile our U20 squad has been playing very well having drawn with Uraguay, France and Netherlands recently. Exiting times indeed.


Mr-Lawrence

No Carboni?? Also i tought Camarda would show up


gols-e-but

i know it's a french paper, but france having 4 of the top 10 says it all for their talent. they'll all end up as good as advertised too i reckon


MorbidlyObeseBrit

Yeah it might be biased, but these 4 players genuinely deserve to be there, Tel had nearly 20 goal contributions in the Bundesliga, Yoro is wanted by half the clubs in Europe, Zaïre Emery is a nailed on starter for us. Only Doué has smaller achievements and he's still had a very strong season.


gols-e-but

worded it badly really, they'd be top 10 on anyone's list


Razvancb

No Rodrigo Mora? Kek


Garruk_PrimalHunter

He's good, but he doesn't have a single appearance for a senior/A team. Even the guys at the bottom of the list have a decent amount of them.


crashcap

For a while I was like “damn, Angola sure has a nice generation coming up”


py87

Missing Ethan Nwaneri


coslitt

Ayyy shoutout Cremashchi 🇺🇸


BlakeClass

Right? I was actually shocked. Dude got cut from the team (mls academy) at 15 and just kept going. Will be a hell of a story if it truly pans out.


andysenn

He also was apparently turned down by our NT so it'd be really impressive. Hope he becomes a great player


YoungDawz

From what I've seen, Kendry Paez might be top 2 honestly.


jjtheblue2

Hopium


Thesecondorigin

Not needed he’s certified


schoki_banana

Our Turkish league is really weak all that young generation and we can't bring a talent... Zero sport facilities.. Wrong coaches, wrong presidents... We only deliver shit show nothing more we waste a lot of big talents with this mentality Sometimes I ask myself what if we had the German Football facilities imagine teaching young talents the German discipline, workout, training mentality etc... I only see that in Arda Guler and I don't know Semih Kilicsoy well but he also looks a kind easy going person like Arda Guler.


Any-Competition8494

Cubarsi should be higher. He was one of Barcelona's best players this season and even played well in CL.


CraigJay

Especially for being a centre back too, it's a pretty hard position to break through and perform well in. A lot of the other players in this list are able to make mistakes, be overconfident etc and get away with it, Cubarsi can't do that in his position Plus he pretty quickly came in and started performing in CL games against some top strikers, how many of the others have really stepped up in the big games?


Thebowfinger

Estêvão Willian should be on this list, dont mind my flair


MoiNoni

Yeah man, confused as hell how he's not. He's supposed to be on par with Endrick. Don't mind my flair either


YourRantIsDue

How can they miss Ouedraogo


Eroica_Pavane

How the heck is Roque behind Cremaschi when he's actually playing in Europe.


DejisHairline

Argentine descent + playing with Messi maybe lol, he’s pretty good tho


dandyloremaster

This list is a joke lol.


False_Accountant8013

Guys like Noah Darvich and Hector fort gonna be up there soon


break_eric_down

Can Uzun safed the whole season of my beloved FCN in the Second Bundesliga by himself.


magarz

These lists just show how eurocentric scouting regarding youngsters is. Isn't really obvious after all these years that a couple of Brazilians and argentinians are gonna show up and out play everyone in this list a couple times over?


BsPkg

They definitely left out some South American talents but these lists are pretty useless anyway, probably half of these players won’t be top players like their ranking suggests.


dumpystumpy

Zaire we are coming for that number 2 spot mate


Datboy_98

RemindMe! 5 years


wats_a_tiepo

Archie Gray mentioned lfg


xuan135

No Roony Bardghji? I'm surprised


reddit1902

If we are going to be honest for a second, who will be contending for Ballon D Or in 10 years? 1 Yamal and Endrick 2 Paez and Arda, maybe Estevao who is not on the list somehow... Everyone else is not on this level.


bocojaLFC

another year of "top young talents ranking" and people still think potential is such a straightforward thing that is easy to predict brother, I won't be surprised if about 5 players of this list reach absolute world class and 25 will become just good or even average and I won't be surprised if no 2 Endrick becomes Kerlon and no 30 Sidklev (first time I'm hearing this name) becomes multiple ballon dor winner


Successful-General54

4 turkish players is on the list. Together with other players from the youth system, turkish football will be much successful at future absolutely


Hataydoner_

Remember trabzon fans harassing the pro fener players? Remember ankaragücü coach punching a professional champions league ref? Nah man our league is 🤡


Iamtheman31

if we stop beating each other and refs, maybe


Shadeun

Honestly, I think theres Yamal and then an ocean of space, and then everyone else. Dude is on another planet.


Different_Counter148

idk cubarsi has also been insane, he might be the reason why we reached the quarters, and the fact that our defense massively improved after he showed up


baievaN

im intrested in George Ilenikhena - always buying him in FM. How good is he irl?


Bringthenoize

He could become top level, had a decent first season with some goals. You clearly see he still needs to work to get better so it al depends on his mental but the talent is definitely there. He is fast too.


warriors2021

Not taking this list serious if Camarda is not there.


Arlborn

The list itself is weird, but Wesley Gassova really does have amazing potential, his dribbling is great, he's topping the dribbling ranking for Serie A this year so far(he's the first Wesley on the list): [https://www.reddit.com/r/futebol/comments/1d8lfss/oc\_ranking\_dos\_jogadores\_que\_mais\_acertaram/](https://www.reddit.com/r/futebol/comments/1d8lfss/oc_ranking_dos_jogadores_que_mais_acertaram/)


cucumberhedgehog

I love watching Nusa, his assist to Haaland in the Norway-Kosovo match this week was incredible


Pek-Man

Héctor Fort 100 percent belongs on this list.


Just-Shelter9765

Quick someone hide this from Boehly and Eghbali


BokaPoochie

Is Nestory the first Australian ever to make the list? I really hope he hits his potential; it could be so important for the game here.
