There was a time when Italy's Stephen El Shaarawy seemed destined to become the next star of world football. Now 24, he's not quite the exciting young talent of 2012-2013, but he does have something to offer as a wide man. After moving from AC Milan to Roma last year, El Shaarawy is in dire need of a manager who can nurture his obvious talents.

If you're operating on a budget, then there are worse options than 32-year old Argentinian Ignacio Piatti on the left wing. His best years are most definitely behind him, and yet Piatti is one of the best, most solid left wingers in the game. Still fast for an older player, it's Piatti's dribbling and skills moves that help him stand out.

16. Hatem Ben Arfa (81)

He's still rated by EA.
