Serge Gnabry (OVR 85 – POT 87)
Age: 23
Position(s): RM, LM, RW
Club: Bayern Munich
Country: Germany
Value: £42.8 million (Release Clause: £73.7 million)
Wage: £117,000 a week
After a one-year loan spell at Hoffenheim, Gnabry had an outstanding first season with Bayern. He was massively instrumental in the German club’s treble-winning season and was awarded player of the season, ahead of Kimmich and Lewandowski.
In FIFA 20 his superb stats reflect his 2018/19 season. His £73.7 million release clause and £117,000 a week wage is a hefty price, but one that is well worth paying.
Achraf Hakimi (OVR 82 - POT 87)
Age: 20
Position(s): RM, RB, LB
Club: Borussia Dortmund (on loan)
Country: Morocco
Value: £27 million
Wage: £59,000 a week
Many of you may be surprised to see Achraf Hakimi on this list, but with Dortmund playing a back three, the Moroccan’s FIFA 20 primary position is now set as a right midfielder.

With strong crossing and defending abilities, combined with his rapid sprint speed, Hakimi can cover your entire right flank. You’ll have to wait for his loan deal to end before signing Hakimi, at which [point he’ll cost you around £40 million.
Steven Bergwijn (OVR 82 – POT 87)
Age: 21
Position(s): RW, CAM, LW
Club: Tottenham
Country: Netherlands
Value: £27 million (Release Clause: £53.3 million)
Wage: £81,000 a week
A product of the PSV youth system, Bergwijn had a breakthrough season for the Dutch team last year, netting 14 league goals and getting 12 league assists. His impressive performances earned him a move to Spurs in January 2020.
He may have only just moved clubs, but if you activate his £53.3 million release clause, you can sign the Dutch winger immediately - although, you’ll have to offer around £100,000 a week in wages.
David Neres (OVR 81 - POT 86)
Age: 22
Position(s): RW, CAM
Club: Ajax
Country: Brazil
Value: £21.6 million (Release Clause: £31.9 million)
Wage: £23,000 a week
Ajax’s Brazilian right winger is one of the most promising youngsters in the modern game. With 12 goals and 15 assists in all competitions in the 2018/19 season, it’s a surprise no one has snapped up David Neres yet.

On FIFA 20, signing David Neres is a no-brainer. The Brazilian can be signed for his £31.9 million release clause and you’ll only have to offer him around £60,000 a week in wages - not bad at all for a player with 86 potential.
Hirving Lozano (OVR 81 - POT 85)
Age: 23
Position(s): RW, LW, ST
Club: Napoli
Country: Mexico
Value: £20.7 million (Release Clause: £36.7 million)
Wage: £64,000 a week
After two years with PSV, Hirving Lozano earned himself a move to Serie A side, Napoli. He’s made 23 appearances for the Italian side so far, but has only managed three goals and two assists.
Nevertheless, with an 85 potential on FIFA 20 and the capability to play across a number of positions, he’s worth picking up for his £36.7 million release clause - you’ll have to offer him £80,000 a week in wages.
Viktor Tsygankov (OVR 80 – POT 86)
Age: 21
Position(s): RM, LM
Club: Dynamo Kiev
Country: Ukraine
Value: £18.5 million (Release Clause: £44.3 million)
Wage: £450 a week
Viktor Tsygankov achieved an extraordinary 11 goals and six assists in just 22 league games last season. He also bagged himself two goals and four assists in the Europa League.

He’ll cost you £35 million and low wages at £30,000 a week, so Tsygankov is certainly worth a punt. With a bit of training, he could create some serious chances from your right-wing.
Melendo (OVR 80 – POT 86)
Age: 21
Position(s): RM, CM
Club: Espanyol
Country: Spain
Value: £18.5 million (Release Clause: £42.4 million)
Wage: £23,000 a week
Melendo made 11 appearances in the 16/17 La Liga season at just 19 years of age. Since then he has achieved consistent game time, but is yet to blow anyone away with his scoring or assist stats. Maybe your club could help him fulfill his potential.
The Spaniard is set to cost you his £38 million and £40,000 a week in wages. But with excellent balance, dribbling and passing he’s a decent playmaker to have on your right flank.
Carlos Soler (OVR 80 – POT 86)
Age: 22
Position(s): RM, LM, CM
Club: Valencia
Country: Spain
Value: £18.5 million (Release Clause: £42.4 million)
Wage: £32,000 a week
Soler joined Valencia when he was 17-years-old and has slowly worked his way into the first team. Last year he made 51 appearances for the Spanish side and got himself 4 goals and 11 assists in all competitions.

However, he could be achieving much higher numbers if you were to unlock his full potential of 86. The Spaniard will set you back £37 million and £40,000 a week.
Raphinha (OVR 80 - POT 85)
Age: 22
Position(s): RM, RW
Club: Stade Rennais
Country: Brazil
Value: £18 million (Release Clause: £35.6 million)
Wage: £39,000 a week
Raphinha switched Portugal for France last summer after he made the move to Stade Rennais. With five goals and three assists in 22 Ligue 1 appearances, the Brazilian has had a steady start to his first season in France.
You can secure the Brazilian's services for his £35.6 million release clause, but you'll have to up his wages to £60,000 a week.
Ismaila Sarr (OVR 78 - POT 88)
Age: 21
Position(s): RM, LM
Club: Watford
Country: Senegal
Value: £15.3 million (Release Clause: £32.1 million)
Wage: £42,000 a week
Ismaila Sarr made the move to Watford last summer after two seasons with Stade Rennais. He’s had a great first season in the Premier League, with five goals and four assists so far this season.
His release clause of just £32.1 million is well worth activating if you’re looking for a wide player for years to come, as Sarr can reach a whopping 88 overall. You’ll have to offer around £60,000 a week in wages to lure him away from Watford.
