Football Manager 2022: 10 Brazilian Wonderkids You Must Sign
10. Marcos Leonardo (Santos)
We kick off the list with this 18-year-old striker from one of Brazil's most famous clubs. Even at such a young age, Leonardo is already making waves in the Santos first team, having scored five goals in 16 appearances this season.
His in-game attributes already indicate what kind of a player he can become. His finishing, composure, and off-ball movement make him (all 14-rated at the start of the game) make him a dangerous poacher. However, that is not all that there is to his game. He has great natural physicality and a lot of potential to be a technically skilled player.
This enables him to be a threat off the left wing, from where he can cut inside, beat his man, and look for a shot or a square pass. Inverted wingers are very common in the modern game, and they are very effective in FM, so it's always a good idea to have someone like Leonardo in your squad.
His valuation is currently in the range between £5.2 - 15.5 million, which is more than accessible, especially considering that he will, at the very least, have great re-sale value.
