🙇‍♂️ YOUNG PROSPECTS 🙇‍♂️

At smarterscout.com, we use a unique algorithm calibrated to a decade of debuts in Europe's top five leagues to spot young talent. Premium users can see the young prospect badge, and Pro users can use it to search. Here are a few from the EFL:

1/4

EFL Championship:

Bryan Mbeumo – flagged 2018-19 in Ligue 2.

Already close to average in attack for the Premier League, good in the air, great tackler, amazing finisher. That's why stats-driven Brentford let him take shots like these in open play. Scores from dead balls.

2/4

EFL League One:

Luke Woolfenden – flagged 2019-20 in League One.

Already an average defender at RCB for the Premier League, great tackler. Quality at LCB as well, though lower ball retention. Look at the Premier League RCBs with a similar style to Woolfenden's. Great list.

3/4

EFL League Two:

Harry Pickering – flagged 2018-19 in League Two.

Has improved to a fantastic Premier League standard, awesome in duels, top finisher. A modern fullback, comes inside in both halves of the pitch, involved in 40%+ of dangerous attacks. Big clubs take notice.

4/4

P.S. If you're a club that wants to spot players in Ligue 2 like Brentford or pick up the top prospects in Leagues 1 and 2, maybe USD100/month on Pro membership to smarterscout.com would be money well spent. Get in touch anytime via our site for a guided tour. Thanks!
