FM 24 Wonderkids: Who Is on the Top 10 Wonderkid List?

With the 2023 season entering its final stretch, we are wondering which teams will be crowned champions at the end of the season while also following the transfer moves planned for next season. The end of the season also means the release date of the new game, FM 24, is getting closer. A new game brings new excitement and, of course, new youngsters...

• Young Talents Who Will Make an Impact in FM 24

We have listed and commented on the players who have shown what they can do with their form this season and could take the top 10 spots among FM24's young talents. Alongside players you may not know, there are also very familiar names on the list. Let's see who is on the FM 24 top 10 wonderkid list.

Who Are the Best Young Talents in Football Manager 2024 (FM24)?

We start at number 10 on our list with a surprise name. Even if you have heard his name, you have not seen him in FM; he will enter our lives with FM 24 and take his place among the most talented youngsters.

10) Lamine Yamal - Barcelona

Lamine Yamal has started to draw attention as the latest talent La Masia has given to world football. Coming on in the final minutes of the Real Betis match, Yamal was compared to Messi by Xavi for his talent, which is a huge blessing for a 15-year-old. Since we have no data from previous games, the FM editors do not know where they will start him; my guess is that he will come out either in the top band (80-100) or one band below (70-90).

9) Jorrel Hato - Ajax

Born in March 2006, Hato can play as a left centre-back and left-back, and he will feel very comfortable especially in back threes and back fives. I think he will get playing time at Ajax next year and, in parallel, his rating could rise even further.

8) Roony Bardghji - FC Copenhagen

Born in November 2005, Bardghji is a young talent with very high technical ability on the right wing. Because both his technique and his physique are at a high level, you can sign him and develop him right away, and train him to play in different positions as well. My recommendation would be to turn him into a good inside forward and have him show his talent up front. As he keeps getting playing time in real life, we can also expect him to reach much higher ratings in future games.

7) Arda Güler - Fenerbahçe

Seen as the most talented future player in Turkish football, Arda is regarded by everyone, not just Turks, as the most talented of his age group. A natural talent with his ability reminiscent of the old number 10s and his decisions on the pitch, Arda will both gain experience and see his physique settle as he gets older, provided he keeps developing positively. I expect him to lift his potential rating, currently in the 70-90 band, to the top band (80-100) with his performances next year.

6) Alejandro Garnacho - Manchester United

Although it did not look like he would play much at the start of the season, Garnacho made good use of his chance in the shirt and started getting playing time at Manchester United, and he stands out as a candidate to be one of the most talented footballers of the future. Will his injury affect his development? Or will he keep the same upward momentum? We cannot know, but one thing we do know is that he will be one of FM 24's best young talents.

5) Andreas Schjelderup - Benfica

Andreas Schjelderup, who transferred to Benfica in the middle of the season, is among the names the FM editors follow closely and see as the most talented. Although he started playing for the reserve team after arriving at Benfica, I think he will get a chance in the first team next year and improve. Schjelderup will come with a high potential rating in FM 24, so how can you pry him away from Benfica? I cannot say, but I can guarantee he will be a very good signing.

4) Warren Zaïre-Emery - Paris Saint-Germain

Born in 2006, Zaire-Emery actually deserves the top spot on the list given his potential, and by getting intermittent playing time in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt this year he showed us that he will make a name for himself in the football world in the near future. Looking mentally and physically quite capable for his age, Zaire-Emery will keep pushing for the highest potential rating, and getting regular playing time will raise his overall rating much higher.

3) Endrick - Palmerias

Real Madrid moved quickly to agree a deal for two years down the line for Endrick, and as long as he keeps developing, there seems to be no doubt he will be the most talented Brazilian of the future. Could he become a classy striker in the style of Ronaldo the Phenomenon, with both his technique and his finishing? Nobody knows, but the chance of him becoming one of the best strikers is quite high. Since he has agreed a deal with Real Madrid, it seems unlikely you can add him to your team in the game. You can start the game with Real Madrid and try Endrick after a season, or you can try to lure him away by loan or purchase after he transfers to Real. Your job is very hard :) Good luck.

2) Youssoufa Moukoko - Dortmund

He is the most sought-after wonderkid of the last few years. With regular playing time this season, he is certain to become one of the world's most valuable strikers in a few years, and I list him as FM 24's second most valuable youngster.

1) Gavi - Barcelona

It is certain that Gavi is the most talented player in his age group, and getting regular playing time at a team like Barcelona is proof of that. Although we do not know what kind of player he will evolve into, judging by his style on the pitch and his game structure, he is one of those rare players who can play in any position he wants. We can call him the Paul Scholes of modern football, and he absolutely deserves to be first on the list.
