It has finally happened. Youssoufa Moukoko has been added to the FIFA 22 database after turning 17 this November.
Already well known in the Football Manager scene, Moukoko is set to be one of the most sought-after wonderkids in Career Mode.
FIFA 22 could be a little too early to see Moukoko make an impact in Ultimate Team, but there is always the possibility of a special card!
Who is Moukoko?
If you haven't heard of Youssoufa Moukoko, then you clearly have not been keeping track of the Borussia Dortmund youth teams over the past few years... okay we will forgive you on that front.
Moukoko first shot to prominence after scoring six goals in his first game for Borussia Dortmund's under-19 side, at the age of 14!
Moukoko is also the youngest player to have played in and scored in the UEFA Youth Champions League too, so he has some pedigree at youth level.
The German under-21 international is also the youngest player to have played in the Bundesliga having made his senior debut a day after his 16th birthday, and already has three Bundesliga goals to his name.
Career Mode Superstar
In FIFA 22 Career Mode Moukoko will start as a 16-year-old as it won't have reached his 17th birthday in November just yet.
We would recommend signing him up as quickly as you can before his value and release clause rocket up in price.
Borussia Dortmund will surely not want to let their future star go, especially given his starting 69 OVR makes him the second-best 16-year-old in the game behind Barcelona's Gavi (OVR 70).
While Moukoko may be behind for Gavi now, when it comes to the future he surges past the Spaniard with an 89 Potential compared to Gavi's 86.
Age: 16
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Value: £3.3 million (£8.8 million Release Clause)
Wage: £4,000 a week
FUT Favourite
As previously mentioned, we don't expect Moukoko to step into Ultimate Team and become the next superstar striker.
His base silver card is decent but it will realistically only be used in the Silver Lounge, which is where he could receive his first-ever special card.
If the Future Stars promo is to return in FUT 22 then Moukoko will surely be a favourite for a spot in that promo, so look out for that in 2022!
Black Friday could see a card arrive even sooner as Moukoko has every chance of being included in any mini-release of Record Breakers as the youngest Bundesliga player ever.
