What makes a wonderkid striker?
To class as a striker we are looking for players that are either a ST or CF.
For a real wonderkid a player has to be a teenager upon your first FIFA 22 Career Mode save, so that means Erling Haaland will not be on the list! (Although you should definitely still get him!)
Youssoufa Moukoko (OVR 69 - POT 89)
Age: 16
Position(s): ST
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Value: £3.3 million (Release clause: £8.8 million)
Wage: £4,000 a week
A new player to the game now he has turned 16, Youssoufa Moukoko will be the go-to signing for many players.
Available for cheap, with top potential, he already has 84 PAC, 76 DRI and 75 Finishing to hassle defences.
Armando Broja (OVR 73 - POT 87)
Age: 19
Position(s): ST
Club: Southampton
Value: £6.5 million (Release clause: N/A)
Wage: £37,000 a week
Southampton's on-loan star Armando Broja has impressed on the South Coast, so much so that there were rumours that Chelsea would recall him in January.
Tall, quick, and strong, Broja's 77 Finishing make him a top prospect.
Facundo Farias (OVR 74 - POT 86)
Age: 18
Position(s): ST, CF
Club: Colon
Value: £8.6 million (Release clause: £14.6 million)
Wage: £5,000 a week
Facundo Farias is a really nimble striker, with 90 Agility and 86 Balance allowing him to weave between defenders with his 81 DRI.
He also has 91 Acceleration, which allows him to get that extra yard of space to concentrate on his finishing.
Karim Adeyemi (OVR 74 - POT 86)
Age: 19
Position(s): ST
Club: Red Bull Salzburg
Value: £8.6 million (Release clause: £14.6 million)
Wage: £14,000 a week
Karim Adeyemi has got in a lot of matches for such a young player, helped out massively with a loan move to FC Liefering to hone his trade.
The German is now back with parent club Red Bull Salzburg and has been getting plenty of goals.
Oh, and did we mention he's quick...
Dane Scarlett (OVR 64 - POT 86)
Age: 17
Position(s): ST
Club: Tottenham Hotspur
Value: £1.5 million (Release clause: £4.5 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 worlds best.
Sebastiano Esposito (OVR 68 - POT 85)
Age: 18
Position(s): ST, CAM
Club: FC Basel (on loan from Inter)
Value: £2.7 million
Wage: £11,000 a week
Sebastiano Esposito has got goals at every level he's played at.
Currently on loan at FC Basel, Inter Milan will hope they are returned one of their prized players in great form.
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
Does it help to be the son of a professional footballer? It appears so for Liam Delap.
It also helps when you have the backing of one of the worlds best coaches in Pep Guardiola.
But what really helps is numbers, and scoring 30 and assisting 6 in 27 appearances last season is some going.
Joao Pedro (OVR 71 - POT 84)
Age: 19
Position(s): ST
Club: Watford
Value: £3.9 million (Release clause: £9.8 million)
Wage: £17,000 a week
Still waiting to make an impact at Watford, Joao Pedro looks set to become quite a solid striker.
With 77 PAC and 74 DRI, he has good stats to improve upon, with a bit of power about him too.
Fode Fofana (OVR 64 - POT 84)
Age: 18
Position(s): ST
Club: PSV
Value: £1.4 million (Release clause: £3.3 million)
Wage: £2,000 a week
Fode Fofana has been banging in goals at youth level.
Last season he managed 17 goals and six assists in 23 games.
Another physical presence, he will be a handful for defenders.
