Best Young Players

[TheEubster]

Does anyone know of a good list somewhere online of the best young players in the game? That is to say, the young players that improve the most through the years of a career mode. Fifa Fanatic did this the last 2 years in a great spread sheet, but the site hasn't been updated in a year. I'm looking for some good value future stars.

Re: Best Young Players

Alexis Sanchez, 21 Years Old 81 RW. Bought him in my Inter MM, been a beast on the wing for me. Also, David De Gea is a beast at GK, only 19. Forgot what he is rated but I bought him to eventually replace Julio Cesar, so far he has 3 clean sheets in 3 appearances against some lesser opponents.

I bought Sanchez while using Man Utd and played him in a RW position. Top class player and he is only 21, he has amazing acceleration and dribbling skills.

Does anyone know the progression progress of some of these players?

Re: Best Young Players

Does anyone know the progression progress of some of these players?

I played a Milan career mode and bought Alexis Sanchez, Rafael, and the keeper De Gea. Three seasons later, they were all still the same rating as when I started.

I'm noticing that the progression in FIFA 11 is pretty poor. I simmed 5 years with Spurs, and Bale stayed at an 81. If anyone has seen him perform this year, it's hard to believe he won't be one of the best players in the Prem in a few seasons.

Thats what I feared. It appears that progression is broken in FIFA 11.

But the devs have released a statement saying it will be addressed in the next patch.
