Take a look at who are some of the best young wonderkid strikers in the FM22 database.

For anyone trying to build a team on Football Manager 2022, the old adage is true: you are only as good as your worst player. Trying to find the best players to bring in to bulk up your team? Then check this list out. In here, we will break down the hotshot young strikers who you might look to build a new generation around. Pick them up fast, though, as these players are the kind of forwards that will likely be up for sale pretty fast!

Sebastiano Esposito – Internazionale

The Inter youngster looks set to explode onto the scene as a first-pick striker in the years to come. At only 19 he has every opportunity to make it big. You might need to loan him first, but Inter have a habit of giving young strikers the chance to move on and thus you could probably find that he is available for transfer whilst Inter stockpile new forwards. A tall, rangy, all-around strike with excellent statistics and a surprisingly high composure level for one so young.

 

Joao Pedro – Watford

A young Brazilian striker with all of the potential in the world, Joao Pedro will not be at Watford for too long. Top clubs should look to pick him up ASAP as he will not wait long before he is on the market and ready to be sold on. Watford have a young gem on their hands, and if you can beat the queue of the top clubs in Europe to sign him as early as January 2022 you could have a future star on your hands.

 

Fabio Silva – Wolves

While Portuguese football is often prone to missing that key striker, young prodigy Fabio Silva could solve that. A move to Wolves for a huge fee has not worked out so far, though, and for that reason you might find him available for loan or for purchase as early as January 2022. Fabio Silva makes a fine choice for just about any team looking or something a little bit different. He can drop deep, arrive in the box late, and finish with both feet and his head.

 

Benjamin Sesko – Red Bull Salzburg

Slovenian football is home to many exciting young players, but none are quite as exciting as Benjamin Sesko. The striker is the ideal player to turn to for anyone looking for a player who can link play, score goals, and break into the box from the wide areas. He is a proper modern striker, and would make one of the wisest investments that you could make with regards to signing a hotshot young striker. Available early, but probably not for long once he gets scoring.

 

Lucca Lorenzo – Pisa

The young striker is being linked with all of the top clubs in Europe in real life, and looks set to be courted by just about everyone in the years to come. A highly mobile young striker with a style reminiscent of someone like Luca Toni, his all-around game is hugely impressive for one so young. You might need to move fast to land this 20-year-old, though, as most of Italian football will be looking to pick him up from his lowly starting point with second-tier Pisa.

 

Joe Gelhardt – Leeds

Your main hope of landing this player is that Leeds do not give him enough game time. A mobile, pacy, aggressive young striker, Gelhardt is a great pick-up for any team in England looking for a young striker to build around. He is a good all-around option and can play off a striker, too, making him useful for most clubs who do not wish to play with two forwards. Definitely one for the future, and one for the present for any lower Premier League team battling survival.

 

Matias Arezo – River Plate

Playing in Uruguayan football and with a contract running out in 2022, Matias Arezo is a must-look for any team looking for a young starlet to build around. He has positively exceptional mobility, reads the game well for an 18-year-old, and can hit shots with both feet. He also is a good choice for those who are looking for a young player who has the potential to grow as part of the striking unit, as Arezo will not expect major game-time from the first moment he arrives at your club.

 

Layton Stewart – Liverpool

LFC have produced many great young players, but they have a precious limit on the amount of young strikers they produce. Not since Robbie Fowler has an academy forward had people as excited as Layton Stewart, though. The younger can hit shots with both feet, can take on his defender, and can easily move away from markers to create chances for himself and others. His only real negative is a lack of game-time at a professional level; get him on loan, though, and he will absolutely flourish.

 

Karim Konate – ASEC Mimosas

If you want to find a quality young African striker to build around, then Konate is a must-sign. He is available for precious little at the start of the game, and if you can land him due to work permit rules he could be a simply amazing signing. He is an all-round striker who already has many strings to his bow. He will be quite raw for the top level, but teams outside the biggest leagues could give him minutes from the moment he arrives.

 

Suphanat Mueanta – Buriram United

A young Thai striker with immense potential, you should keep an eye on this 18-year-old as he is easily among the most affordable on this list. You are taking a punt in that no real high-potential player has ever come from this part of the world, but this young Thai striker looks like he could finally break the mould. Definitely, one to keep an eye on if you fancy trying out a player from a more unique market. Ideally one for the future, but lower leagues in Europe could probably give him game-time from day one.
