Endrick is probably a name you've heard floating around by now, but for those who haven't he's an incredibly talented 15 year old who currently plays for Palmeiras Under 21s. Endrick already has brilliant stats, including flair which sits at an impressive 18, with dribbling and natural fitness at 14 each. He's definitely a talent to snatch up quickly before his price sky rockets later in the game.

Marcos Leonardo is an emerging gem in Football Manager 2023. The 19 year-old striker has all the makings of a world class player and would definitely be a worthwhile investment.

When we simulated 5 years into the future in FM23, Leonardo was netting 15, 25, 18 and 17 goals each season and his attributes saw a huge increase, reflecting his skills as a player.

Gabriel Martinelli

Gabriel Martinelli is a 21 year-old winger currently playing for Arsenal and is another with a big price tag on his head. If you are wanting him in your squad, you best do it early on as in 5 years he isn't available for sale in FM23. Described as an enthusiastic winger, Martinelli is a force to be reckoned with, on and off the ball. His 17 acceleration and 5 other attributes at 16, show that he's worth the money and in a simulated 5 years time, he only gets better.

Danilo

Danilo is a 21 year-old midfielder who is signed to Palmeiras and has 4 star potential. Danilo can be picked up for a little over 11M at the start of the game if you have the budget for it and he would be an excellent midfielder to add to your squad. Danilo's stats sit quite comfortably so you can use him straight away or use it as a base to build upon with training. If you don't fancy having Danilo in your squad for too long, his value increases within 5 years for those you of who like the moneyball tactic.

Player Information
