Under The Radar - Ferdi Kadioglu

[dalenichol]

Hello and welcome to the first of hopefully many 'Under the Radar' posts. Essentially, what I want to do with these (and anybody else can too) is just to highlight some young, exciting talent that may be overlooked because of their league, nationality or other factors. Every list you find online on twitter or wherever will tell you that Jadon Sancho is good or that Patrick Cutrone is probably worth buying if you have the money, but I don't want to do the obvious picks. 


So, first up, 18 year old Dutch youth international Fedri Kadioglu




A versatile and exciting AMC who can be play all across the midfield spectrum, I'd expect big things from him. It will be difficult to prise him away from Fenerbahce in the first season, as he's a brand new signing, but depending on whether or not they've improved how the AI handles youth players, he's the sort of player that you could pick up fairly cheaply after the 2nd or 3rd season

Good choice Dale, love managing in the Eredivisie and Ferdi was always a go to signing in previous years. Was a bargain when he was at NEC, not so sure Fenerbahce will let him go so cheaply!

I think you're very possibly right Matt. I did read that they've done a lot to improve the AI youth development aspect, but you never know, a couple of years rotting in the reserves and you might get lucky, or even a loan with option to buy
