This is our first of three trips to England in this list, and the first Premier League player we are going to talk about is Watford's striker João Pedro.

Even though the Hornets aren't enjoying the best of seasons this year, and they are most likely facing a return to the Championship, one shining light about their team is the wealth of talent they have in attacking positions. Pedro might not be at the forefront of that -- Emmanuel Dennis or Ismaïla Sarr are probably the first names that come to mind -- but he definitely has huge potential.

Just one look at his FM22 profile reveals what a complete forward he can be, with his technical, mental, and physical attributes all being at a very decent level for a player aged only 19. This also means he can play across the front line and act either as the focal point of an offence or in a more supporting role, providing assists for his teammates.

He still has a long way to go, and he will probably need to be trained into a specific role to get the most out of him, but there is no doubt that he is a true wonderkid. However, be prepared to reach deep into your wallet, as his valuation ranges from £22 to £66 million.
