If you are looking for OSM cheap high-potential players, the place to look is players aged 19 or under rated 70–74. In the 26/27 data, goalkeepers in this group are worth about 1.9–2.4M, defenders 2.2–2.4M, midfielders 3.1M and forwards 3.3–3.4M.
The data comes from OSM Helper's player database, pulled on 25 October 2026; the tables show base OSM ratings and values. For comparison, the top-rated players in the same age group cost far more: Cubarsí 9.7M, Yamal 20.6M.
OSM cheap high-potential players: what drives value?
The database numbers show two things clearly:
- Position sets the price. Among players aged 21 or under rated 72, the cheapest goalkeeper is 2.07M, defender 2.72M, midfielder 3.89M and forward 4.29M. At the same rating, a forward costs more than twice as much as a goalkeeper.
- Age barely moves value. At the same rating, a 19-year-old costs only slightly more than a 21-year-old (2.12M against 2.07M for a goalkeeper rated 72).
According to OSM Helper's 26/27 guide, young players develop faster than older ones, and the rate drops as rating rises. Since age barely affects value but strongly affects development, the youngest age group is the smartest place to hunt for cheap players with potential.

How to sign cheap players
- Scout: According to the official help page, the scout brings up to three players from leagues other than yours. According to OSM Helper, he costs the player's value plus 15 Boss Coins and is usually cheaper than the transfer list price.
- Transfer list: According to OSM Helper, list prices drop slightly after each transfer simulation, and simulations run nine times a day at random times.
- Develop them: Upgrading the training facility boosts progress by 10%, 25% or 50% (OSM Helper).
As these players gain value through training, selling them during the season also becomes an option. For an older list of young scouting targets, see our 2023 OSM youth scout list; its ratings and values do not apply to this season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which position has the cheapest good players in OSM?
Goalkeeper. In the database, a goalkeeper costs roughly half as much as a forward with the same rating.
Is buying cheap young players worth it?
For development, yes. According to OSM Helper, young players improve faster, while age has little effect on value. But a player rated 70 may not be ready for your first eleven straight away.
Can you see player potential in OSM?
The database we used has no separate potential value. You have to estimate it from age and current rating.
Do these prices stay the same all season?
No. Players who improve through training gain rating and value. The tables show data from 25 October 2026.
