Our second trip to South America sees us go to Argentina's most successful club of all time. Los Millonarios have some serious talent in their ranks even at the start of a new save.

There really isn't much left to be said about this iconic football club. Along with their fierce rivals at Boca Juniors, they represent sacred institutions of South American football. Playing for them is like playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona for most Argentine kids.

This naturally is reflected in the profile of players and the sheer wealth of talent River Plate have, both in reality and in Football Manager. With a youth recruitment rating of 20, it's safe to say they are near the top of the list for any virtual manager on their scouting trips through Latin America.

Even with players electing to make the switch to Europe earlier than ever nowadays, there are still diamonds to be found in the famed Buenos Aires club. Julián Álvarez is easily one of them, and this year's edition of the game might your last chance to get him for a reasonable price, as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have recently snapped him up.
