These are in no particular order but are, from my experiences and knowledge, the 10 best wonderkids in the game.
1. Lulinha - Corinthians - 2.9 mil release clause. - An exciting central attacking midfielder who can always deliver goals and assists. In 14 games he has 4 goals and 6 assists with a 7.43 AR.
2. Glenn Christiansen - Stromsgodset - Free, but I bought him in 09/10 for 6m - An extremely quick left back who is lethal with any free kick.
3. Ever Banega - Boca - 4-5m - A tireless defensive midfielder who chips in with a few goals. He has a 74% passing rating, one of the highest in the Premier League at the moment.
4. Bojan - Barcelona - Unbuyable?? Somewhere near 20m but he rarely wants to move - A quick striker who finishes with ease. 9 in 10 for Barca and 3 in 4 for Spain.
5. Gonzalo Higuaín - River Plate/Real Madrid - 15-25m - A versatile attacker who scores, assists and helps the team. He got my vote for world player of the year.
6. Karim Benzema - Lyon - 15-25m - A strong, quick striker who scores 20-30 a season.
7. Igor Akinfeev - CSKA Moscow - 20m - An unbelievable talent in nets who is solid in all parts of keeping.
8. Andrés Guardado - Deportivo - 20m - A very versatile left-footed player who with good training and guidance will become a great addition to any side.
9. Damián Luna - Independiente - 6m - An explosive striker who scores goals for fun. A snip at 6m.
10. Breno - LOSC Lille - 10m A commanding centre back who is accurate in passing and tackling.
So, there you have it. Football Manager 2008's brightest prospects. Get these guys early while they're cheap before the big guns swoop them from you. Good luck.
Simon.
