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.
FIFA 19 gave one to Arthur Melo and Guendouzi.
Maybe not total car wrecks but still slight misses.
FM more than FIFA but… Cherno Samba.

Halilovic was supposed to be the next messi.
Fun fact: he scored the winner for fortuna sittard in the Dutch cup yesterday
Still only 27!

Messi, the lad just didn’t have it.
Patrick Cutone, he was the reason I had hope for Italy’s future after missing the 2018 World Cup
