We continue the list with another lesser-known player. Much like Mbete, Ben Nelson is also a 17-year-old centre-back who can be bought at a very reasonable price, but Mbete and Nelson's playing styles are much different.

Leicester City's promising youngster is more in the no-nonsense mould, and that is visible in his attributes right from the start. He is a very physical player, with strength, jumping reach, and aggression being his main positives early on in a save. However, being only 17, there is plenty of time to retrain him if necessary.

It's important to note that Nelson's contract with the Foxes expires in the summer of 2022, so it's crucial that you try to snap him up in the first transfer window before the first season starts, otherwise he will most likely get an extension and his value will skyrocket.
