I know it’s more of a gaming question than a football question. I have recently started playing football games again and there are those young players with the comment „has potential to be special“ or „an interesting prospect“.

Especially those that aren’t stars already like Musiala, Haaland or Pedri.

Players like currently Arda Güler, Gavi, Antonio Nusa, Ansu Fati or Youssoufa Moukoko.

The question/discussion I wanted to spark is which of those players that you remember from the past didn’t actually become stars/good players, or even, which players rated very low by the games in their early careers did become actually good players.

    Jose Baxter was one of the best young strikers to buy in FIFA 09 or maybe 10 but his career fell off massively due to a dodgy personal life but I’m assuming he wasn’t a good professional either.
