Football Manager 2016: 20 Central Midfielders You Must Sign

By Michael Potts /

8. Lewis Cook

English wonderkids are making a resurgence on Football Manager, with Lewis Cook ranking as one of the best on the latest edition. He is technically raw, but in terms of physicality and mentality, there are few better teenagers. If Cook develops and polishes up minor rusty stats such as marking, he'll grow into an England international. Like Maia, his signing is zero risk despite costing around £6m. He'll turn into a quality Premier League midfielder so depending where your club is at, you can decide whether he's worthy of a top, top, top first team or whether he can be sold for enormous financial gain.
