FM 27 Turkish Wonderkids: Best Young Turkish Players

FM 27 Turkish wonderkids are led by Arda Güler, who has a potential rating of 92 in FMInside's FM 27 data. Kenan Yıldız (85) and Can Uzun (84) follow. Below you will find a 17-player table and the best young Turkish options by position.

Launch Preview data, 30 October 2026. The tables use the FMInside FM 27 player database (version 27.0.0) and FM Scout's FM27 wonderkids list published on 29 October. The Launch Preview is not the final release. Numbers may change at launch on 10 November, and we will check the list again then.

How we built the list

We filtered FMInside by Turkish nationality and a maximum age of 21, then sorted by potential. The table takes the top results of that search.

• Ability and potential: FMInside's own 1-100 rating, not the in-game CA/PA number.
• Dynamic: FMInside shows no fixed potential for these players. Their potential is a range in the game, so it can differ from save to save.
• Age: as listed on FMInside. Sources can differ by one year depending on birthdays.
• Value: FMInside does not show estimated FM 27 values yet ("Unknown"), so there is no value column.

The three Turkish talents with the highest ceiling

Three names stand well clear of the rest. Regen Hunters shared in-game CA/PA values from its own Launch Preview save, and they give the same order:

• Arda Güler (Real Madrid): CA 158, PA 183. Plays in central midfield and on the right.
• Kenan Yıldız (Juventus): CA 158, PA 170. Left wing and number ten.
• Can Uzun (Eintracht Frankfurt): CA 140, PA 168. FM Scout also marks him as a fixed-potential, guaranteed wonderkid.

All three play for big clubs on big wages. FMInside lists weekly wages of €104K for Arda, €213K for Kenan and €38K for Can. For a smaller club they are not realistic targets.

Turkish players in FM Scout's wonderkids list

FM Scout counts players aged 20 or under with a potential of at least 150 as wonderkids. The author adds his own 1-100 rating (R) and says the first-revision ratings are not final. Eight Turkish players make the list:

Player	Age	Position	Club	FM Scout rating (R)
Can Uzun	20	AMC	Eintracht Frankfurt	91
Kerem Matışlı	19	GK	Bursaspor	85
Hasan Yakub İlçin	17	AMC	Antalyaspor	85
Adnan Efe Fettahoğlu	17	AMRC	Fenerbahçe	85
Onuralp Çevikkan	20	GK	Trabzonspor	83
Yusuf Akçiçek	20	DC	Al Hilal	82
Yunus Emre Konak	20	DM	Brentford	82
Mertcan Ayhan	19	DC, DM	Schalke 04	79

Best options by position

Goalkeepers: Kerem Matışlı is 19 and has 70 potential on FMInside. FM Scout ranks him top among Turkish keepers with 85. Serhat Öztaşdelen and Jankat Yılmaz are more ready now. Onuralp Çevikkan has dynamic potential.

Defenders: Yiğit Efe Demir has 75 potential at Fenerbahçe. Berkay Yılmaz plays left-back and left wing-back for Freiburg. Yusuf Akçiçek (Al Hilal) and Mertcan Ayhan (Schalke 04) are centre-backs with dynamic potential.

Midfielders: Demir Ege Tıknaz is the most ready, with 68 ability. Yunus Emre Konak is at Brentford. Adnan Efe Fettahoğlu and Hasan Yakub İlçin, both 17, are long-term projects.

Attackers: After Can Uzun come Livan Burcu (71) and Deniz Gül (69). Semih Kılıçsoy (Beşiktaş) and Çağrı Balta (Fenerbahçe) are forwards with dynamic potential.

Turkish youngsters playing abroad

Many players on the list are abroad. In FMInside's data Berkay Yılmaz and Livan Burcu play in Germany, Mertcan Ayhan is at Schalke 04 and Yunus Emre Konak is in England. Deniz Ofli (FC Bayern), Yasin Özcan (Aston Villa), Darwin Soylu (Werder Bremen) and Hasan Ayyıldız (Ajax) are also among the youngsters with dynamic potential.

Fees and wage demands for these players change from save to save. Check the scout report before you make an offer.

How to use this list in your save

1. Add the player to your shortlist and send a scout first. The potential you see in the game depends on your scout's knowledge.
2. Be patient with dynamic-potential players. FM Scout notes that their potential will not always reach 150 in every save.
3. Check your wage budget before chasing players at big clubs. Loan or low-wage targets may be more realistic.
4. Values may change in the full release on 10 November. Check the source again before starting a long save.
