Eduardo Camavinga keeps his title as the best wonderkid on FM21, with the Rennes midfielder making his debut for France this season.

The 17-year-old is unlikely to be sold for anything less than £65 million - but you'll still want to act quickly to get in ahead of the rest.

Camavinga may be the highest rated wonderkid, but Yousouffa Moukoko is the one you'll want to be signing.

The German is a new addition following the winter update, and he's already been dubbed the "best FM Wonderkid in history".

Ansu Fati (CA 148 - PA 160-190)

Club: Barcelona

Position(s): AM (RL), ST (C)

Best attributes: 17 agility, 16 dribbling, 16 movement

Value: £54 million

Wage: £70,000 a week

With already a full season under his belt at Barcelona, Ansu Fati is already a "veteran" aged 17.

The Spaniard already has 13 Barcelona goals to his name and made his Spain debut in September 2020.

Pedri (CA 143 - PA 160-190)

BREAKTHROUGH - Pedri has emerged from nowhere to be a regular for Barca

Age: 17

Position(s): M (C), AM (RLC)

Club: Barcelona

Best attributes: 17 vision, 16 passing, 16 first touch

Value: £16 million

Wage: £35,000 a week

Snapped up from Las Palmas for just £4 million in the summer, no one foresaw Pedri making such an impact at Barcelona aged just 17.

The versatile midfielder has featured over 30 times for Barca, with a Spain call-up possible for Euro 2020.

Rodrygo (CA 136 - PA 160-190)

LEVELLING UP - Rodrygo forms a new-look Real Madrid alongside Vinicius Jr

Age: 19

Position(s): AM (RL)

Club: Real Madrid

Best attributes: 15 dribbling, 15 finishing, 15 movement

Value: £8.8 million

Wage: £141,000 a week

A youngster who is establishing himself in the Real Madrid squad, Rodrygo is likely to become one of the leading lights for the club in the coming years.

The 19-year-old is already a Brazil international but perhaps needs to work on his goal return with just eight goals and nine assists in over 40 appearances for Los Blancos.

Ilaix Moriba (CA 124 - PA 160-190)

Club: Barcelona B

Best attributes: 16 technique, 15 first touch, 15 bravery

Value: £3.2 million

Wage: £12,000 a week

He may have only played twice for Barcelona, but Ilaix Moriba is being touted as the next star to come through the club's academy.

Moriba got his first start for the club in February 2021 - notching an assist in the 5-1 win over Alaves.

Yusuf Demir (CA 112 - PA 160-190)

Club: Rapid Vienna

Position(s): AM (RC)

Best attributes: 15 pace, 15 dribbling, 14 acceleration

Value: £825,000

Wage: £600 a week

Playing out in Austria, you'll be forgiven for not recognising midfielder Yusuf Demir.

The 17-year-old has close to 30 appearances at senior level, but his damage as been done in the youth setup, with 19 goals in 22 appearances across Austria U17s and U15s.

Mason Greenwood (CA 140 - PA 172)

Club: Manchester United

Best attributes: 17 pace, 16 finishing, 16 acceleration

Value: £30 million

Wage: £25,000 a week

Mason Greenwood has transitioned brilliantly from youth level to the Manchester United senior team.

The 18-year-old bagged 17 goals last term, but has struggled this year with just four in over 30 matches.

Gabriel Menino (CA 133 - PA 168)

Position(s): D (R), DM, M (C)

Club: SEP (Palmeiras)

Best attributes: 16 versatility, 16 determination, 14 passing

Value: £7.3 million

Wage: n/a

An enigma Gabriel Merino is, with the 19-year-old called up to the Brazil national team in September 2020, despite just 20 appearances for Palmeiras.

Here's clearly rated highly in his homeland, so keep an eye on his development in the coming years.

Alphonso Davies (CA 152 - PA 150-180)

ROAD RUNNER - Alphonso Davies has become one of the world's best left backs

Position(s): WB (L), D (L)

Club: Bayern Munich

Best attributes: 19 acceleration, 17 pace, 15 stamina

Value: £32 million

Wage: £88,000 a week

When Bayern Munich snapped up Alphonso Davies from Vancouver Whitecaps, we knew they had a talent on their hands - but no one foresaw the winger becoming one of the best left backs in the world.

Still just 19, we can't wait to see where Davies goes next in his career, and whether he will move back up the field.
