Patrick Roberts falls into the Joe Gomez category of young players you're going to hear a lot about over the coming years. The ex-Fulham youngster only made 19 league appearances for the Cottagers before being snapped up by Manchester City, a team on the lookout for fresh homegrown talent. The 18-year-old's fee could rise up to £11 million; a huge sum for any Championship player, let alone for a teenager without real pedigree even if he has shown class. Roberts found himself with a 67-rating on FIFA 15, but after his big move, expect him to tip the 70 mark and possibly even leap ahead of some established Premier League players without even stepping foot into the top flight with his new club.
