On loan players U24 Post #1
There are over 100 players under the age of 24 currently on loan from a team in a PB league.
With over two months of the season left and then EURO 2020, buying players that will be returning from a loan spell now could be a bit premature, but often it is best to plan early - ahead of the rest of the market.
Many players currently on loan could increase in price due to having a better chance of earning dividends in the future.
This could be due to the player returning to a stronger side, returning to a side in a PB league from a Non-PB league or due to improved performances under a different manager / in a different formation / in a different position etc.
You can find over 100 players currently on loan from a PB league and under the age of 24 that are on Football Index by using this spreadsheet:

Many of these players may not return to their parent club and some could stay in Non-PB leagues. Therefore, it may be best to focus on players already performing well in PB leagues which will be returning to sides where their PB scores could improve even further.
There are also some players in Non-PB leagues who have been in good form in recent months who could either return to their parent club or gain transfer speculation to another club over summer.
Finally, there are also some players currently on loan who have gone very under the radar due to lack of game time in recent months, but are now starting to play more regularly and if they stand out with good performances could increase significantly in price.
Below are some of the players from this spreadsheet which stand out as potentially being good value given their current price and for the reasons below:
