Best Young Players in Football Manager 2010

With the release of Football Manager 2010 on the PC men everywhere around the world have once again become glued to their computer screens as they try to take their football club to the top. One of the most exciting and most rewarding things that you can do in Football Manager is to find a great young player (promising ‘young players’ are usually less than 20 years old), train him up and turn him into a world beater.

This is easier said than done, however, since finding youngsters with great potential can often be quite difficult. Luckily, I’ve compiled a list of the best young players in the game:

Romelo Lukaku – Playing for Belgian club Anderlecht, Lukaku is just 16 at the start of the game, but is already showing signs of turning into a world class striker. He can be bought for as little as £1.5m and is an absolutely essential signing.

Mario Balotelli – Described as ‘Super Mario’ by in the Inter Milan fans, Balotelli is an exceptional young striker. To capture his signature you’ll need to pay around £30m at the start of the game, so for small clubs it’s often best trying to sign cheaper players.

Nicolas Otamendi – One of the best young defenders in the game. Otemendi can be bought for around £3.5m at the start, and his speed and strength mean he can slot into almost any team straight away.

Joe Mattock – While not the flashiest player in the game, and one that will rarely grab any headlines, Mattock is one of the most reliable players in the game and is one of the few players that can be developed into a genuine world-class left back (there are many good attacking left backs in the game, but few can defend half as well as Joe can).
