Football Manager 2019 is trending again.

We have assembled a list of the best young Dutch prospects in the game.

Here are the Top 10 Dutch wonderkids of Football Manager 2019.

10. Jesper Schendelaar

Age: 18
Position: Goalkeeper
Club: AZ Alkmaar
Value: £190k

In last years edition, Schendelaar was one of the best young goalkeepers in the game and the 2019 Football Manager is no different. The 17-year-old already has excellent stats at the start of the game and develops quickly.

9. Myron Boadu

Age: 18
Position: Winger/Striker
Club: AZ Alkmaar
Value: £1.5 million

Boadu was making a big impression in the Eredivisie last season before he broke his leg and he deservedly starts Football Manager as one of the finest young attackers in the Eredivisie. He can play anywhere in the attack and can form an excellent partnership with Calvin Stengs if you can keep them both at AZ for long.

Football Manager state his best position is on the wing but his finishing ability and pace means he can be developed into a deadly centre-forward.

8. Calvin Stengs

Age: 20
Position: Winger
Club: AZ Alkmaar
Value: £1.6 million

Stengs was being called the new Arjen Robben before his horrible injury at the start of last season. He starts Football Manager 2019 injured but he is one of the best young wingers in the game and will quickly be snapped up by a big club. His stats are excellent all round and he only gets better.

7. Teun Koopmeiners

Age: 21
Position: DM/Centre Midfielder/CB
Club: AZ Alkmaar
Value: £1.8 million

Koopmeiners is excelling in the AZ Alkmaar midfield and is now one of the finest playmakers in the Eredivisie according to Football Manager. The 20-year-old has played in defence for AZ and he can be used their in the game but his defensive stats aren’t as strong and he is more influential as a deep-lying midfielder. His passing is excellent and is a dangerous set piece taker.

6. Rick van Drongelen

Age: 20
Position: Centre-Back/Left-Back
Club: Hamburg
Value: £2.2 million

Hamburg’s relegation from the Bundesliga hasn’t hurt Van Drongelen’s reputation in the game but has made him a bargain buy if you are looking for a versatile defender.

Capable of playing in two positions, Van Drongelen possesses excellent stats for a 19-year-old defender and can slot straight into your side.

5. Tahith Chong

Age: 19
Position: AM/Winger/Striker
Club: Manchester United
Value: £4.5 million

Already highly valued at the start of the game without making his first-team debut, Chong is a massive prospect in the Manchester United acad

emy. He is at his best on the wings, but Chong can also be developed into a number 10 or striker.

4. Steven Bergwijn

Age: 21
Position: Winger/AM
Club: PSV Eindhoven
Value: £7 million

The brightest talent in Eindhoven, Bergwijn has been an excellent talent in Football Manager for years and this edition is no different. Bergwijn has all the talent to be one of the best attackers in the game after a few years and can be developed into several positions. He has been used as a striker for Netherlands U21’s but he is not seen as a striker in the game.

3. Matthijs de Ligt

Age: 19
Position: Centre-Back
Club: Juventus
Value: £7.25 million

De Ligt was, of course, a beast for Ajax and in Football Manager he is one of the, if not the best young defender around. His stats are excellent for a ball-playing centre-back and he can also be pushed into a DM position.

Despite leaving Ajax for Juventus, De Ligt is wanted by every big club in Europe in the game, so don’t expect to pick the Dutch international up easily or cheaply.

2. Frenkie de Jong

Age: 22
Position: DM, CM, CB
Club: Barcelona
Value: £7.75 million

Before moving to Barcelona, Frenkie de Jong was the talk of Europe, as each new day seemed to bring a new link to one of Europe’s biggest clubs.

In the game he is still in Arserdam, and if you can get your hands on him or prevent him from leaving Amsterdam, then you have one of the finest midfielders in the game. However, if you fancy playing him in the centre of defence, his stats aren’t nearly as good. He is at his best playing deep in midfield.

1. Justin Kluivert

Age: 19
Position: Winger
Club: Roma
Value: £8.75 million

Kluivert’s move from Ajax to Roma has seen his stats get a bump this year and he begins the game as a massive talent. His pace, dribbling and technique stats are high and if you can develop the rest of his game then Kluivert is one of the best wingers to have in the game after a few years.
