Here’s an FM20 list of the top 5 best players in English League two which is the 4th tier of English football. Some players on the list definitely have potential to play higher up than where they are right now while others have had careers that did not really take off.
However, these players definitely have the best quality for this tier of football and will easily be topping most charts with their performances.
Randell Williams
• Age: 22
• Current Value: £1.2m
• Nationality: English
• Current Club: Exeter
Williams’ career is a string of missed opportunities. Having started his career at the Spurs academy, Williams started his professional career for a non-league side. He then had a trial at Crystal Palace and moved to Watford but could never break into the first team. After a loan spell at Wycombe Wanderers, he signed for Exeter in 2019. In Football Manager 2020 he has a current ability of 113 and a potential ability of 123 making him one of the best wingers in League Two. He has extremely good physical stats and is a very fast winger who will set the league alight with his pace.
Bruno Andrade
• Age: 25
• Current Value: £1.1m
• Nationality: Portuguese
• Current Club: Salford
Andrade is a Portuguese national who spent his youth years at QPR. However, he never really made the cut for the club and after being sent on a host of loans he eventually joined Working in the 5th tier of English football. He now plays for Brentford and is considered as one of the best central midfielders in English League Two. In FM 20 he has a current ability of 112 and a potential ability of 130. He is a very versatile winger and is able to comfortably play on both wings. He has decent well-rounded stats and will be one of the best players for this level in most saves.
Tom Lowery
• Age: 21
• Current Value: £475k
• Nationality: English
• Current Club: Crewe Alexandria
Lowery is a product of the youth setup at Crewe and got absorbed into the first team eventually. Now he is considered one of the best young players at the club and will definitely impact their performances in League Two. In FM2020 he has a current ability of 112 and a potential ability of 135 making him one of the midfielders in the league. Considering that he is just 21 and has very well rounded stats, he would definitely do well for higher-tiered clubs too and has a far higher ceiling than most players at this level. His work rate is his best attribute and he is a very good team player.

CJ Hamilton
• Age: 24
• Current Value: £900k
• Nationality: English
• Current Club: Mansfield Town
CJ Hamilton is a product of the Sheffield Youth academy. He could, however, not break into the senior team at Sheffield and after a couple of loans complete a transfer to Mansfield Town in 2016. He has been one of the club's most important players since. In FM20 he has a current ability of 112 and a potential ability of 120. Considering that he is relatively young, there is still room for growth. He is one of the fastest players in League Two and will be a nightmare to deal with on the wings for opponents.
Adam Rooney
• Age: 31
• Current Value: £400k
• Nationality: Irish
• Current Club: Salford City
Rooney began his career at Stoke City and even broke into the first team and played a few games for the club. However, his career has gone south since and after a host of spells at various clubs, he has settled at Salford City. In FM20 he has a current ability of 110 and a potential ability of 124. With decent stats all around, he is an extremely able striker who is composed with his finishes.
That concludes the list of top 5 League Two players in FM20
A common theme to all these players is that their careers never really took off despite having a lot of promise and have landed themselves at lower-tiered clubs. They, however, do definitely have the quality to play 1 or 2 tiers above their current clubs and could be crucial to their club's ambitions of achieving promotion.
