Football Manager 2022 Lorenzo Lucca
SEGA

Club: Pisa

Nationality: Italian

Price: £1.5 million

Of the players on this list, Lorenzo Lucca is the one of the few who can truly become a genuinely world class striker on Football Manager 2022.

Starting the game at 20 years of age, Lucca is an out and out #9 who will do nothing but look to score you goals. And let’s face it, that’s always an incredibly useful trait. This is someone who you don’t need to have working channels, to be dropping deep to pick up a ball. Instead, this is your typical spearhead striker is best utilised as a poacher, a target man, or an advanced forward.

While some strikers are about tricks, are about linking play, are about assists, Lorenzo Lucca is simply all about goals. As FM22 progresses, those goals will become ridiculously frequent, with him easily capable of bagging more than a goal a game by the time he starts to mature.

For initial stats, Lucca has impressive numbers for finishing (15), heading (17), jumping reach (17), determination (18) and strength (15). Considering his young age, these stats jump off the screen. Added to that, a powerful 6’7” frame makes the Pisa player a handful for opposition defenders.

In terms of price, move early and you should be able to snap Lorenzo Lucca up for the bargain fee of around £1.5 million.
