Here’s a list of the top 5 players in Vanarama South, which is the 6th tier of English football, in FM20. 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.
Jonah Ayunga
• Age: 22
• Current Value: £48.5k
• Nationality: English/Kenyan
• Current Club: Havant & Waterlooville
Ayunga had a dream move to Brighton from Dorchester Town FC but he was never able to break into the first team of Brighton. Having spent several seasons on loan, he eventually moved out of Brighton and joined Sutton. In 2019, he joined Havant from Sutton and has had an excellent start to his career at the club since scoring 8 league goals in 8 games for the club. He has a current ability of 86 and a potential ability of 112 making him an excellent player for this level. He is also very versatile able to play as a winger or a striker.
Jarvis Edobor
• Age: 20
• Current Value: £6.75k
• Nationality: English
• Current Club: Dulwich Hamlett
The Young English centre back is one of the better players of Vanarama South with extremely good mental attributes for this level. He has a current ability of 88 and a potential ability of 95 and considering that he is just 20, he definitely has room for growth. He is also good in the air making him a big presence in set pieces on both sides of the pitch.
Elliott Ward
• Age: 34
• Current Value: £9k
• Nationality: English
• Current Club: Chelmsford
A product of the West Ham academy, great things were expected from Ward and he even broke into the first team at West Ham. However, a string of injuries and bad luck has seen him fall down the pecking order and he has ended up playing for several lower-tiered clubs. He joined Chelmsford in Jan 2020 and is expected to provide massive experience for the side. He has a current ability of 84 and a potential ability of 122. Despite his age, he has excellent physical stats and is a very good tackler.
Roarie Deacon
• Age: 27
• Current Value: £74k
• Nationality: English
• Current Club: Havant & Waterlooville
Deacon had the dream start to his youth career having been selected for Arsenal. However, he was not able to break into the first team and the moved to Sunderland where he once again failed to break into the first team. After playing for several clubs at various levels, Deacon joined Havant in 2019 and has been one of their star players since. With a current ability of 80 and a potential ability of 98, he is definitely one of the better players in the team and his league. He is also a versatile player capable of playing on both wings.
Francisco Ravizzoli
• Age: 21
• Current Value: £96k
• Nationality: Argentinian
• Current Club: Eastbourne Boro
Ravizzolli was a wonderkid goalkeeper in some of the previous versions of the game. But in FM 2020 he plays for Eastbourne Boro as a goalkeeper. His stats are more than decent for this level and being just 21 there is definitely more room for growth. He has a current ability of 80 and a potential ability of 105 and can definitely be improved to play in higher tiers.
Conclusion
That concludes the list of 5 best Vanarama South footballers in Football Manager 2020. 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.
