Everybody knows how good Renato Sanches is at this point. The Bayern Munich midfielder is one of the most celebrated young players in the world, which makes him sadly out of reach for all but the richest clubs.

He struggled to make a breakthrough at the German club last season, however, and that could see his value drop for 2018, if he doesn't sign for Man United or Real Madrid this summer (as has been speculated).

He'll cost a pretty penny, but if his stats are anything like last year, you'll be getting the best young midfielder in the game. Equally competent as a creator or destroyer, his mental and physical stats are already fantastic, making him good enough to start for all but the biggest sides at the start of the game.
