1 Smith — 10. Kerr Smith – 57 OVR – 83 POT – Dundee United – Age 16 – €625K MV

**We start young, cheap and always wanting more.** You have to make up the gag about ex-partners yourself... | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

2 van den Berg — 9. Rav van den Berg – 59 OVR – 83 POT – PEC Zwolle – Age 16 – €675K MV

In case you didn't know, **potential is dynamic in FIFA 22.** So the 83 is more of a guideline. He can still get a lot better. | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

3 Martel — 8. Eric Martel – 66 OVR – 84 POT – FK Austria Wien – Age 19 – €2,1M MV

From Leipzig he went to Austria. **But not to Red Bull aka. RasenBallsport.** The youngster is a important defender in Vienna. | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

4 Van de Ven — 7. Micky van de Ven– 68 OVR – 84 POT – VfL Wolfsburg – Age 20 – €3M MV

With **72 Pace**, he is nice to use right from the start. At 20 years old, he's also **the oldest fart** of this selection. | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

5 Colwill — 6. Levi Colwill – 69 OVR – 84 POT – Huddersfield Town – Age 18 – €3M MV

At Huddersfield, Colwill can show what he's made of. Or you bring him to **the club of your (career) choice** and train him to be a really good CB. | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

6 Arrey Mbi — 5. Bright Akwo Arrey-Mbi – 62 OVR – 85 POT – Bayern Munich – Age 18 – €1,2M MV

Pretty new to this list, because the youngster wasn't even in the game when it was released. He can really go wild – **but not keep up with the following players.** | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

7 Nianzou — 4.. Tanguy Nianzou – 71 OVR – 85 POT – Bayern Munich – Age 19 – €4,2M MV

Because if a talent already starts with more than 70 overall strength, you can easily let it play more often. **But Nianzou costs a bit more.** Just as much as... | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

8 Dardai — 3. Marton Dardai – 71 OVR – 85 POT – Hertha BSC – Age 19 – €4,2M MV

as the son of german cult coach Pal Dardai. **But both will not disappoint you.** | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

9 Stergiou — 2. Leonidas Stergiou – 67 OVR – 86 POT – FC St. Gallen 1879 – Age 19 – €2,5M MV

Stergiou is a reliable player when it comes to gaining a lot of overall rating points quickly. He's nice in every career, promise. **However, no one can match the best CB talent...**| © EA Sports/Faris Delalic

10 Mbamba — 1. Noah Mbamba – 64 OVR – 88 POT – Club Brugge – Age 16 – €1,7M MV

Mbamba just celebrated his sweet 16th birthday. You got all the time you need to shape him into a world-class central defender. One of the talents with the highest growth in FIFA 22! | © EA Sports/Faris Delalic
