Potential Rating: 88

Current Rating: 76

Club: Milan

Age: 17

Position: GK

It's still pretty inconceivable how quickly Gianluigi Donnarumma has broken into the first team picture at both Milan and for Italy. He made his debut at just 16 years old, is still only 17 and has already established himself as a legend for his club side. It helps that he's an absolute monster - standing 6 ft 6 - but he's surprisingly agile for a big lad and has an impressive knack for saving penalties.

EA Sports have pretty much hobbled him at 76 because of his age, but he should surely start to improve on that towards his full capability of 88, because that's already happening in real life. It seems to be his positioning (70) that drags him down initially and he's valued at €7m, so he might be one to invest in to take over custodial duties in the long-term.
