Football Manager 2021: 10 Wonderkids You Must Sign

3. Pedri

Football Manager 2021
Sports Interactive

Position: AML

Age: 17

Team: Barcelona

Right, this is the last player on Barca's books. Promise!

In fairness, it's a goodie. 17-year old Spaniard Pedri can rise to an 8.9 overall rating, and he's already good enough for most Premier League clubs. The only snag is that you'll likely have to pay through the nose for him (that £7.75m valuation is a bit of a trick), and Barcelona won't be keen to lose him too soon.

There's an important piece of info here that newcomers to Footy Manager must get up to speed with pronto too; that "Breakthrough Prospect" line is dangerous when clubs have started giving players some time on the park. It also means Pedri is playing alongside Messi. Basically, don't be too tight, cough up enough dosh and you'll get a future great.
