Everyone with any vague awareness of the past few years of Football Manager will be aware of Julian Brandt's name already and it's for good reason. Sure, he'll cost an arm and a leg, but he's the kind of long-term brilliant prospect that super teams (and super rich teams) should always look at. And for the money, he'll offer around 10 goals, 7 assists and 5 man of the match awards a season.

Plus, he's available at the lower end of the spread after a couple of years.
