Football Manager 23 is now available and the fan-favorite game to kick back and relax to is back to let gamers live their fantasies of becoming head coach of a football club. Liverpool is one of the best sides in the world but in Football Manager 23 they are in dire need of some investment. With an aging squad and a question of depth, there are some positions the English Premier League side needs to improve in.
Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are the stars of Liverpool. With young prodigies Harvey Elliott, Darwin Nunez, and Fabio Carvalho there for fans to develop, there is always room for improvement and gamers should look to be replacing some of the older players.
10 Rayan Cherki
At just 18 years old Rayan Cherki is one of the best pickups on Football Manager 23 priced at an insanely cheap $8-$10million. A mere dent in the Liverpool budget. Go and buy this French winger. Cherki is also perfect for Liverpool, a backup for the right-wing spot is needed and a successor for Mohammed Salah is also required.
The Olympique Lyon man matches these criteria. With 16 dribbling and 16 flair, he is an amazing winger for the future in this Liverpool team. Could he be a Premier League great in the making?
9 Devyne Rensch
Although Trent Alexander-Arnold is the best right back to use in the game, still just 24 the ceiling is very high for the Englishman. But with that being said, there is no real cover for him at the football club.
This could come with 19-year-old Dutchmen Devyne Rensch. Available for around $23 million, Rensch will soon make this price tag an absolute steal as he will grow into one of the best right-backs in the game. One of the best young players to pick up in Football Manager 23.
8 Joško Gvardiol
Joško Gvardiol will be an amazing pickup for the Reds in a Football Manager 23 save. Liverpool needs a left-footed center back and the Croatian is exactly the player that fits the bill.
At 20 years old Gvardiol is already an amazing defender, his mental and physical stats are off the chart. Virgil van Dijk is now 31, with not too many years left at the top level, and maybe fans could move him on and bring in Joško as his replacement. He is also comfortable at left-back so his $90 million price tag is lessened with his versatility.
7 Danilo
No question about it, Danilo is one of the best holding midfielders to pick up in Football Manager 23, and at just $10-$15 million, he is an insane buy for any Liverpool fan. His standout stats are his teamwork, anticipation, work rate, and technique.
Liverpool has Fabinho as a defensive midfielder, but the club doesn't really have a cover for his role and fellow Brazilian Danilo is a great choice for this. At just 21 he has much more room to grow and can be loaned back to Palmeiras to help sweeten the deal.
6 Jude Bellingham
Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham needs no introduction for a Football Manager fan. He is one of the best wonderkids to buy in the game. Bellingham has been very much linked with a move to Liverpool in real life so if fans are going for a realistic side to the save it is a no-brainer to buy this midfielder.
Again with the theme of replacing an older player, Thiago, and Jordan Henderson are all on the wrong side of 30, and 19-year-old Bellingham is the perfect replacement for those in the midfield position. His technical, physical, and mental stats are all already amazing and there is much more room to grow. Liverpool will have to pay a fortune for Bellingham and fans may have to move on some players to make way for his $100 million price tag but it will be so worth it.
5 Jamal Musiala
The best-attacking midfielder to buy in the game, Jamal Musiala is already a world-beater at 19 years old. Liverpool does not have a natural AM in the squad and looks no further with this German wonderkid.
The 4-2-3-1 gegenpress tactic is always the way to go in FM and with the purchase of Musiala, players can use this title-winning system expertly. Like Bellingham, he is very expensive, and fans may need to offload some players to bring him in, but it will be worth it to bring in such an amazing talent.
4 Arda Güler
If Musiala is too much of a stretch on the bank balance, this young Turkish playmaker can just be what fans need. Just 17 years old Güler has his full career ahead of him. Will that be with Liverpool?
With unbelievable technical and mental stats already, the teenager will only grow and become one of the best players in the game in any gamer’s save. Liverpool won't need to break the bank to pick him up and can be bought for under $ 10 million.
3 Youssoufa Moukoko
Without a doubt the best young striker to buy in the game, Youssofa Moukoko applies his trade with Jude Bellingham at Borussia Dortmund and the sky is the limit for the German.
His insane finishing and dribbling stats mean the 17-year-old is already a top striker despite being at the start of his career. Gamers can pick up Moukoko for around $30-40 million, but his contract is up at the end of the first season, meaning he could potentially be picked up for free. That certainly should be monitored as that would be one of the best bargains in the franchise's history.
2 Endrick
Endrick is just 15 years old. The Brazilian is the wonderkid in Football Manager 23. Fans won't have to pay a premium for him either, available for just £12-15 million, and it is an absolute bargain.
In real-life football, every side in the world is after the teenager and Liverpool could be the side that picks him up if gamers can play their cards right on FM23. Like most Brazilian forwards his flair is his best attribute, and he will no doubt be an absolute magician in the future.
1 Brian Brobbey
Darwin Nunez is the only natural center-forward in Liverpool's first team, although Nunez is a great striker in Football Manager 23 it will be very wise to bring in another center-forward for depth in the position.
Brian Brobbey is the one to go for, available for around £15 million he is very cheap and has great potential in the game. At just 20 years old he has plenty left in the tank and will be a good squad player for the club or potentially a start down the line.
Football Manager 23 is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
