Football Manager 2016: 20 Wonderkids You Will Need To Sign

17. John Stones

It's nigh-on impossible to maintain a homegrown team of champions in the Premier League, but for those managers keen to add a British core to their superstar lineup, John Stones is your man. The 20-year-old defender is tipped to be a future England captain, and is coming along at exactly the right time with the patched up England defence lacking serious quality. Stones is already a commanding, solid presence for Everton and will no doubt make it to the top. Chelsea are weighing up a bid as John Terry approaches 35, so Stones may not be around for long. Expect to pay big money, but he'll slot into almost any top team and flourish.
