Everyone loves a good hidden prospect in FIFA games: they're the key to sustained greatness and building a dynasty in Career Mode, and they're often a lot more affordable than going out and trying to buy players at the top of the game as soon as you start.

The most valuable of those wonderkids are those that can affect results most tangibly: the goal makers, unbeatably goalkeepers and defensive rocks all rank highly, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more valuable than a young striker who turns into a beast and bangs them in.

With that in mind, identifying the young players who could go on to develop the most and who could be goal machines is one of the most important early steps in the game. And we've done the hard work for you.

Here are the best hidden wonderkid striker prospects you need to sign in FIFA 17...

Potential Rating: 84

Current Rating: 72

Club: Monaco

At 21 years of age, new Monaco recruit Jean is now into his fifth year playing in the French league. He's scored 24 goals in 114 appearances altogether and while he wasn't prolific last year, the French giants clearly see him as a big prospect.

He only starts at 72 in FIFA 17, but he boasts impressive strength and agility, so he'll still be a useful player when you have to play him. He's also got a potential growth factor of 12, and could go on to be as good as Daniel Sturridge and Carlos Bacca in the game eventually. Pretty exalted company.
