Low Investment (£0.8m – £5m)
Pedri and Pellistri show great potential in the range of about £5m with base stats at 71 and 72, and potential of going 88 and 87, respectively.

Other young players at a bit lower range of about £2m show a similar affinity. These include Demir and Simons with base stats in the mid-’60s but a similar potential as some more expensive players.

It is quite astounding to see that players such as Wirtz and Bellingham that cost less than a million, can show such impressive potential as well.

Mediocre Investment (£6m – £12m)
In this price bracket, a player like Urzi, Almada, Kubo, and Camavinga show promising returns with their potential going up to 89 while their base stats 73, 75 and 76, respectively.

It would seem that the future value for all these players will be similar, meaning buying Urzi or Almada would prove to be more profitable over time instead of the other two.

For quick returns or use on the pitch, Kubo and Camavinga are more suitable options.

High Investment (Above £12m)
At £16.7m Tonali is the most economic player here, showing the greatest signs for growth, with Foden and Diaby being some of the other viable options.

J Sancho however, is ridiculously priced but, on the contrary, does have stats to show for it.
