One of the best things about FIFA's career mode is signing young players and helping them reach their potential in your team – but which footballers should you buy in FIFA 17? Thankfully, EA has done a bit of the work for you, releasing a list of hidden gems in the new game. These top players are all 21 or under and have the potential to improve their ratings. Essentially, FIFA 17's wonderkids.
Admittedly, the likes of Manchester United's Anthony Martial, England midfielder Dele Alli, and Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman aren't exactly hidden gems, but there will be some players in this list that you may not have heard of.
