i've been watching a lot of transfer-based videos and young French players keep getting mentioned. in 2020 or so France should have the following attacking/winger talent ready to go

Mbappe
Griezmann
Koman
Martial
Lacazette
Dembele

in the midfield they should feature

Pogba
Rabiot
Kante
Lemar (currently a midfielder for the national team but can also play the wing)
Bakayoko
Kondogbia

and on defense, a ton of central talent

Varane
Umtiti
Mendy
Zouma

Digne can possibly develop into a cup-capable LB

not sure who they have coming up at RB, but wingbacks are currently the major issue across the spectrum for almost every major team

France is fricking STACKED and i'm not sure what international team has that sort of balance coming up. I assume Germany and Spain will have similar squads, but i'm not that familiar. Italy has some world class younger talent (Veratti for starters) but I don't think they have the potential depth as of now.

i just don't see another team with the upcoming talent like France, but i'm willing to listen (why i made this thread)

Our midfield should be stacked 4 years from now.

Not as stacked as France yet, but Brazil will be up there. This list is a bit attack heavy, but if they find replacements for Dani Alves and Thiago Silva/Miranda after 2018 then watch out.

Neymar
Gabi Jesus
Firmino
Vinicius Jr
Gabriel Barbosa
Lucas Moura
David Neres
Douglas Costa


Coutinho
Fabinho
Talisca
Casemiro
Rafinha

Marquinhos
Alex Sandro
Rodrigo Caio
Alex Telles
Jemerson

Ederson
Allison

England is looking decent but definitely not in the same tier as France, Brazil, and Germany.

England is step behind in starting XI, imo, and miles behind in depth.

France will have all the talent in the world, but until they develop a collective team spirit, they'll disappoint.

I may be wrong, but isn't Mendy first choice?

If France doesn't win either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup I'll be shocked honestly

Alderweireld isn't all that shitty.

Michy and Benteke could still be around in 2020 as well.

Yeah Michy is only 23. He'll be 26 by then. And he offers something Belgium's other strikers don't have, which is running beyond the ball.
