The 20-year-old is highly rated amongst Juventus fans, and it’s easy to see why. Nicolo Fagioli (Juventus: CM, CAM)Īnother promising Italian youngster to look out for in FIFA 22 is Nicolò Fagioli. Whether he reaches the same level as Totti, it’s highly unlikely, but he’s definitely one to keep an eye on. A little over the top? Perhaps, but there are some similarities with 77 dribbling, 76 ball control and 74 short passing. An aspiring number 10, with a quick turn of pace (77 acceleration), Vignato has been likened to a certain Francesco Totti. Now a first team regular at Bologna, the creative midfielder’s stock is on the rise following an impressive 2020/21 campaign, which resulted in 7 caps for Italy’s Under 21s. Rated 71 overall with a potential of 82, Vignato made his Serie A debut during the 2016/17 season for Chievo, where he’d go on to play almost 50 games. Emanuel Vignato (Bologna: CAM)Īged 21, Emanuel Vignato is already closing in on 100 senior club appearances. End product needs improving with 63 finishing, 67 heading accuracy and 61 crossing, but this kid definitely has the right attributes to become a top quality striker. Despite his recent poor run of form Salcedo is rated 70 overall with a potential of 82 and is a well rounded striker with 79 ball control, 78 dribbling, 80 jumping and 79 acceleration. Currently on loan at Spezia, following a season at Hellas Verona, the 20-year-old has found the net only three times in his last 40 appearances. Teenage sensation Eddie Salcedo averaged a goal every three games for Italy’s Under19s, but the Inter Milan striker has failed to hit the same heights at club level. Bang on 6ft he’s by no means the tallest of defenders, but what he lacks in height he makes up for with 69 jumping and, more impressively, 76 strength.

Currently rated 64 overall with a potential of 82, Pirola has already shown he’s solid defensively with 72 standing tackle and 62 heading accuracy. Currently on loan at AC Monza from Inter Milan, the 19-year-old is nowhere near the finished article, but has all the right attributes to become a dominant centre half. Lorenzi Pirola could well be one of those to step up to the plate. Italy’s current first choice centre back pairing of Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini has a combined age of 71, so it’s only a matter of time before the Azzurri look for their long term replacements.

Physically, though, he still has room to improve with 61 stamina and 62 strength, but with regular game time, which he’s likely to get at new club Chievo, there’s no reason why he won’t. The 20-year-old, still only rated 68 overall with a potential of 81, has the attributes to carve open the toughest of defences with 75 short passing and 72 vision. One of three defensive midfielders to make the list, Mattia Viviani is best deployed as a deep-lying playmaker where he can showcase his passing ability. Rated 68 overall with a potential of 81 the teenager provides excellent value for money in FIFA 22 with a €6.3 million release clause. Capable of playing a number of positions including left back and left midfield Calafiori is a well rounded player with 72 crossing, 73 ball control and 69 standing tackling. Roma’s 19-year-old Riccardo Calafiori has represented Italy at youth level since the age of 15, most recently for the Under21s and, providing he continues developing, should go on to feature for the senior team in the not so distant future. Despite all the positives, Cancellieri’s end product needs improving, which should come with more game time.

Comfortable on the ball with 72 ball control and 73 dribbling, pacy with 79 sprint speed and acceleration and, as is the way nowadays, he’s left footed playing predominantly on the right wing as an inside forward. Slightly built and 5 ft 9 inches in height, Cancellieri is your classic modern day wide man. Still only rated 68 but with a potential of 81 this pacy, agile winger has already represented Italy at youth level. Matteo Cancellieri (Hellas Verona: RW, CF)Ĭurrently on loan from Roma at Hellas Verona, 18-year-old Matteo Cancellieri is tipped to have a bright future. Below we take a look at the best young Italian players in FIFA 22. Veterans like Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini will soon be calling it a day leaving the next generation to take on the mantle. After a record breaking run of 37 games unbeaten and a second European Championship success, Italy’s new crop of talent has a lot to live up to.
