And back we go to a player you may not know exists unless you're an avid fan of Mexican football. Playing for Tigres UANL in Liga MX, 24-year old Jürgen Damm is a fine option for those thinking outside the box who fancy something a little different. Besides, look at that, he's a whole point faster than Gareth Bale despite being 2 inches taller.

A dizzying 95 for pace is backed up by 77 for dribbling and a solid 69 physical stat. Remember the old days in FIFA when you could see everyone's stats without having to scout them? It made buying players like Damm much more accessible, but he's somewhat of a hidden wonder this time around. Give him a punt and you might be surprised by his quality.

At 6'2" tall, he has the size to flourish in the Premier League. Damm also reached an insane 35.23 km/h when running with the ball during a special study conducted by Mexican side Pachuca. Oddly, that's slower than Gareth Bale (according to the study), but EA have still given Damm better pace than the Welshman.
