Carlo Holse, think he will be the new go for lot of people.

Found this lad, all around attacking stats are good to be molded like you want, decent traits. Can get him cheap around 1.5-2mil.

Joshua Zirkzee from Bayern

Efkan Bekiroglu from 1860 Munich. Starts off dirt cheap in Liga 3.

Simon Power from Norwich. Got him on loan in 2020 for Bundesliga 2 and he then joined on a free transfer in 2021. Now rated as "good for Bundesliga". Attributes aren't great but he plays well enough as an MR.

Mattia Zacagni from Hellas Verona, got him for £3.3 million

[seanydude]

Just grabbed this 16 year old for 20k from Nantes, hes only got 3.5* Potential for Celtic but with the right development looks potentially decent. Physicals are there already outwith strength

[JR_Junior]

Haven't used him yet as he will only arrive at the end of the season, but this 17yo Dirk Proper from N.E.C. looks like a proper(hey!) good footballer for smaller sides. Got him on a free too.

Good find!

[Sabine]

Keep in mind that I'm playing as Sunderland in League One;

Transfer Listed for £550k at the start of the season.  Versatile with great technicals in the right places.  :)

[fidelitywars]

Few that look incredibly promising:

Leonidas Stergiou, 17, centre back, Switzerland, St Gallen

Ivan Lepinjica, 19, DMC, Croatia, Rijeka

Kevin Ehlers, 18, centre back, Germany, Dynamo Dresden

Alhassan Yusuf, 18, centre midfield, Nigeria, Goteborg

Filip Marchwinski, 17, attacking midfield, Poland, Lech Poznan

Filip Stevanovic, 16, attacking midfield, Serbia, Partizan

Hakon Evjen, 19, right wing, Norway, Bodo/Glimt

Joe Gelhardt, 17, striker, England, Wigan

Matias Arezo, 16, striker, Uruguay, River Plate (URU)

Suphanat Mueanta, 16, Thailand, Buriram Utd

 

Arezo especially looks incredible for his age.

[FCArsenal]

Can someone post some screenshots of them?

[PequenoGenio]

 

the SS are in portuguese but they are very nice young players. lots of potencial

[Robsontist]

From my Grashoppers Save:

Erik Botheim, 19 years, pretty complete, technical striker. (Technique, First Touch, Composure all 15) Can be Loaned out for (pretty much) free in the beginning, will join teams in which he is easily one of the best players, can be signed for a pretty reasonable fee. Lots of potential (might be random tho)

Jeong Woo-Yeong, 19 years, winger, both sides. (Dribbling 14, Technique 14, Work Rate 15, Aggression 16), can be signed on a 2 year loan from Freiburg for a pretty nominal fee. Don't know if he's got thaaaaat much potential too grow.

Lars Lukas Mai, 19 years, BPD, a bit on the slow side but already great in all other regards. (Jumping Reach 16, Tackling 14, Composure 15) Has loads of Potential.

Randy Schneider, 17 years, Playmaker, already well rounded technically and mentally for a player at his age (Technique 13, First Touch 13,  Passing 13, Vision 12) and performing incredibly well. A bit weak on the physicals. Dunno about his potential on the highest of levels.

Screens, keep in mind they have developed a bit already (particularly Schneider)

Like Berg too. Bodo/Glimt have a few really worthy of mention - Hakon Evjen is the obvious star but Bjorkan at left back looks really good too. 

[Hoarau]

I feel the need for another Nordic/Scandinavian talent thread....

@fidelitywars They two look very promising, as does Bodo's Jens Petter Hauge.

Another one who looks to have had a bump, Jonas Wind.

Yes! Wind looks an excellent creative striker.

Bruno Guimares is a tremendous midfielder. Young too.

Well, he's too expensive. My scouts reported 34m € would be accepted, I would buy 30 gems for that price

I got similar from scouts also £34.5m, his release clause

[FifaBing]

Marcos Leonardo at Santos looks class for a 16 year old. My scouts rated high very highly, and I was able to snag him for 250k for Milan. Looking forward to developing him.

[SpikeHughes]

I assume you’ll only get these two if Africa is loaded but there both worth it at RC Abidjan

Jean N’Guessan- 16yo mc

Brahima Ouattara- 20yo amc

[bjwphneb]

One that has suprised me is Tahith Chong, got him on laon first season and added an optional fee of £2.5Mil. 

3.5 current, 4.5 potential, now valued at £15.75Mil  and he's scored 4 goals in 7 games season 2. Playing him as an Inside Forward on the left

[Dustman2015]

You can sign Reece Oxford for season loan with 100% of wages... tag on an optional clause at 6.5m and that's an incredible young cheap English CB

[iolodavanki]

I found these players that look really good (no idea about their hiddens though):

(this is one year into the game, July 2020):

Al-Soma is available on a free after the first season

Edited November 9, 2019 by iolodavanki

[Rubentus_Juventus]

Ryan Porteous

Jesus kid looks immense

[DonPolio]

Gonzalo Villar - Elche £475k

 

[DonPolio]

 Toni Herrero - Levante £500K 

 

[Llainen]

Conrado Left back. Bought him from Brazilian side Oeste for 100kpounds. Also Gabriel Neves and Pablo Garcia at Nacional are players you can get for under 2 million.

Appears to have a year long hamstring injury in game

[threeps]

Kouame from Genoa looks pretty good, especially for a counter attacking team. Can be picked up for around 8m.

[Goretzka]

Depends on team's budget, I'd recommend some Argentinians who has transfer fees around €4-6 million.

- Fausto Vera

 

- Agustin Almendra

 

- Agustin Obando

 

- Thiago Almada

I was playing with Schalke 04 so I have no idea. The league has no foreign limits.

[FCArsenal]

They look pretty promising.

[The J-Man]

Gael Alonso for me has come along really nicely, picked him up for £18K in January of the first season from Celta Vigo but could have waited and got him for free at the end of the season. This is him about 3 months into the third season, I've been concentrating on getting his physicals up, he's a bit inconsistent but I'm hoping that will fade once he gets older. 

[Vertical Tiki-Taka]

Noah Katterbach from Koln.

Looks to have the potential to be one of the best left backs on the game with the right guidance. Stats are unreal for somebody so young and lets face it good LB's are hard to come by. Lucas Netz from Hertha Berlin also has great potential, also Left back.

[Woolly]

Former Leeds youngster Ronaldo Viera (currently at Sampdoria) has potential as a very good Premiership player signed him for 6.75m for Man Utd, probably won't be a World Class talent but is showing his consistency for me when Pogba was injured. Given the right training and he should turn into an important first team player for most clubs.

 

Edited November 27, 2019 by Woolly

[GunmaN1905]

Never seen him before and considering that he's not in cut-out facepack, must be some real hidden gem.

That's from the end of second season, got him on my Villas save for 4.3m€.
Looks like a perfect inside forward.

[Stu_UBJ]

Lucas Orellano from Velez. Managed to pick him up for £3m in third season - 


 

[Welshace]

Excellent to see this thread back once again this year and to see it become a mainstay

 

Here's a few i've managed to find over the last few weeks.

 

Joaquín Piquerez

 

This guy costs you around 100k, has italian second passport and has rtoom to grow according to top scouts in the game... easily one of my favourite finds so far..

 

Heinz Mörschel

 

This fella cost me 130k, is 6'3, german, young and talented.. I see him as a budget Havertz tbh..

 

Patrick Valverde Pedral Lopez

 

 

Determination, flair, with a spanish passport.. excellent.

 

 

 

 

 

[The J-Man]

Not sure if these count as hidden gems since they're from Barca/Madrid...

Oscar from Real Madrid, I had him on loan for 3 seasons before getting him on a free transfer once his contract expired. Easily the best player I've had on this year's FM regularly gets double figures for goals and gets a good amount of assists.

Sergio Akieme has been a very solid LB for me, got him on a free after Barca released him at the end of the second season.

I got Mbuyamba from Barca for £1.4 mil. An absoloute steal, he's a mountain of a man and a fine centre back.

Kevin Quevedo  same for me great wee player.
