FIFA 18 Career Mode: 20 Wonderkids You Need To Sign

10. Issa Diop (Toulouse)

As nice as it is to have blistering pace when attacking, it's also important to keep the back door locked at the other end of the pitch. Toulouse defender Issa Diop allows you to do that, and though he isn't the quickest (with only 63 pace), his overall defending stat is 77 and high for a 20-year old.

In addition, Diop starts out with a 76 rating and can grow that by 11 points to 87 if given the necessary match time. The Frenchman has been a smart buy over the past couple of FIFA titles, and that continues in 18. Don't miss out on your chance to watch Diop emerge as one of the game's greatest centre backs.

81 physical stats mean he's a commanding presence at the back too. If you can add a sell-on clause, you may be able to convince Toulouse to knock a few quid off the fee. Then, you don't need to sell, do you?
