FIFA 18 Career Mode: 20 Wonderkids You Need To Sign

7. Julian Brandt (Bayer Leverkusen)

At first, the chance to see Julian Brandt grow by 8 points overall in FIFA 18 doesn't sound too impressive. That all changes when you realise he starts out with a rating of 80 and can rise to 88. Then, things become even more dazzling when seeing the young German's stat sheet.

82 pace, 83 dribbling and a pair of 4-stars for skill moves and weak foot ability make Brandt a player you must take off Bayer Leverkusen's hands quickly. He's still only 21 and will light up the left side of your midfield if you set him loose. The growth won't be too fast, but does that matter when Brandt is so good to begin with?

Perhaps the only downside here is that Bayer will want a huge transfer fee. Do yourself a favour: scout Brandt properly first so you don't infuriate the Bundesliga side's management by offering money they find insulting.
