Finding young, homegrown talent is one of the great aspects that gives Career Mode more of a personal feel, as you develop a wonderkid to fulfil their potential.
England have one of the best teams we've seen in years, with youth a key part of that, and the next generation looks like continuing that trend.
Read on to find out who all the best English wonderkids are on FIFA 22.
What makes a wonderkid?
For a real wonderkid you have to be a teenager on your first FIFA 22 Career Mode save, so that means Trent Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden will not be on the list!
Mason Greenwood (OVR 79 - POT 90)
Age: 19
Position(s): RM, ST
Club: Manchester United
Value: £33 million (Release clause: £67 million)
Wage: £53,000 a week
Putting in eye-catching performances for Manchester United, Mason Greenwood has become a regular starter for the club already.
A sublime finisher, we expect to see him get better and better training with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Before CR7's arrival, we saw him play more centrally, but he is more than happy playing on the right side, cutting in on that laser-sighted left-foot.
Jude Bellingham (OVR 80 - POT 89)
Age: 18
Position(s): CM, LM
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Value: £38 million (Release clause: £72 million)
Wage: £19,000 a week
One of several young players who have benefitted from a move to the Bundesliga, Jude Bellingham has become a regular in the Borussia Dortmund squad and has started forcing his way into the England team too.
He has all the qualities to make him a world-class midfielder, box-to-box with skill in all areas, not only is he a star for the future, he is a star now!
Noni Madueke (OVR 77 - POT 88)
Age: 19
Position(s): RM, ST
Club: PSV
Value: £20 million (Release clause: £32 million)
Wage: £9,000 a week
What's that - you like pace?
Already at 90 PAC, with 83 DRI, he will grow into one of the top speedsters.
At 6'0" his is also very agile, giving him more of a physical presence than smaller wingers.
Bukayo Saka (OVR 80 - POT 88)
Age: 19
Position(s): RM, LM
Club: Arsenal
Value: £39 million (Release clause: £82 million)
Wage: £43,000 a week
Bukayo Saka has been one of the big positives for Arsenal recently and has been showing the same great form for country.
He already has all the attributes of a top winger, and these will only improve.
He is also very versatile, being able to play on either wing, as a LB or LWB, and as a CAM.
Harvey Elliott (OVR 73 - POT 87)
Age: 18
Position(s): RW, CM
Club: Liverpool
Value: £6 million (Release clause: £15 million)
Wage: £25,000 a week
The youngest player to play in the Premier League, Harvey Elliott was seeing regular first-team action for Liverpool this season, before suffering a horrible injury.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is very happy with his young talent and will be hoping for a speedy recovery.
Fabio Carvalho (OVR 67 - POT 86)
Age: 18
Position(s): CAM, CM
Club: Fulham
Value: £2.2 million (Release clause: £5.6 million)
Wage: £5,000 a week
Fabio Carvalho came through the Fulham academy and looked to be an essential part of the squad this season, starting the first five games, scoring three goals and providing an assist.
An injury then put him out of action, with him only just returning to the squad, so we wait to see if he can maintain that form.
Charlie Patino (OVR 62 - POT 85)
Age: 17
Position(s):CM, CDM
Club: Arsenal
Value: £1 million (Release clause: £3 million)
Wage: £2,000 a week
Yet to see any senior play, Charlie Patino is working his way through the Arsenal academy.
A lot is expected of Patino, with club scouts describing him as the best player they have had.
Dane Scarlett (OVR 63 - POT 85)
Age: 17
Position(s): ST
Club: Tottenham Hotspur
Value: £1.3 million (Release clause: £3.7 million)
Wage: £3,000 a week
You've heard of Dane Scarlett, right? You know, that young English striker. Plays for Spurs.
Yeah, us neither!
But notoriety doesn't relate to success, and with a whopping growth potential of 22 points, he could be a real bargain to turn into one of the world's best.
Liam Delap (OVR 64 - POT 85)
Age: 18
Position(s): ST
Club: Manchester City
Value: £1.6 million (Release clause: £4.7 million)
Wage: £8,000 a week
We're not likely to see the long throw-ins associated with his dad, Rory, but Liam Delap is something else.
Scoring 41 and assisting 15 in 57 appearances at youth and senior level is some going.
Having one of the world's best coaches in Pep Guardiola will help with fulfilling his potential at Manchester City.
Cole Palmer (OVR 65 - POT 85)
Age: 19
Position(s): RW, CAM
Club: Manchester City
Value: £1.7 million (Release clause: £4.9 million)
Wage: £13,000 a week
Another City youngster, Cole Palmer is going to be giving Pep headaches as yet another player that can occupy the wing and play as a CAM.
He's already got his first Champions League goal, with plenty more in all competitions sure to follow.
