FIFA 17 Career Mode: 11 Players You Need To Sign

11. Gianluigi Donnarumma

Looking for a new goalkeeper? None have more potential than AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose status as one of the most exciting young prospects in world football is accurately reflected in FIFA 17. He starts with a relatively modest overall rating of 76, but Donnarumma has the potential to grow all the way to 88, and the best bit? He’s still only 17 years old. Yikes…

Regarded as Italy’s long-term replacement for Gianluigi Buffon, Donnarumma is a commanding presence between the sticks. He stands at a towering 6’5”, so you don’t need to worry about high crosses into the box any more, and with reflexes of 84, he’s already an expert shot stopper. He’s not quite ready to start for the game’s elite sides, but Donnarumma is good enough for everyone else, and he’ll stand as one of the game’s best ‘keepers after a season or two.

Milan recently slapped a dizzying €170m price tag on him in real life, but don’t sweat: Donnarumma can be acquired for a fee in the region of £7m in FIFA 17. A sound investment all round.
