Young Attacking Midfielders in Football Manager 2021

Find out now who the best young attacking midfielders in Football Manager 2021 are, listed according to potential and future future.

The first name on the list is Pedri, star of Barcelona and the Spanish national team. Class and personality for a boy who is still a minor and whose future has been written.

The second name is Joao Felix of Simeone’s Atletico Madrid. In his second year in the Spanish La Liga, the young Portuguese ace is a true star in the firmament of modern football. In Football Manager 2020, he was a real stunner, so we suggest you confirm him at the heart of your project.

Finally, the last step of the podium is covered by Phil Foden, star of Guardiola’s Manchester City. His technical and athletic skills are not in dispute. Some character traits need to be polished, as demonstrated during the Icelandic trip of the English national team.
