Football Manager 2022: 10 Wonderkid Defenders You Must Sign

7. Morato - Benfica

CB - RAT: 64 - POT: 80

Portugese giants Benfica have produced some of the greatest players to ever lace a pair of Preds and get a terrible haircut. Following Manchester City number 3 Ruben Dias out of the Caixa Campus is Sao Paulo native Morato (Felipe Rodrigues da Silva to his mum).

All of 20 years old and still shoving Nicolas Otamendi out of the Benfica starting 11 at times, Morato is a thrilling mix of pace and power. Nimble enough to intercept a cunning through ball and strong enough to make sure no-one else gets to it afterwards.

Combine with a ball player in a back two and you've got a proper CB partnership there!
