Wonderkids in Football Manager 2024

Wonderkids are best classified as rising stars in Football Manager 2024. They are potential talents in Football Manager 2024 who, while not guaranteed to become world-beaters, can become some of the best players in the game.

Although the existence of dynamic potential in Football Manager 2024 can be a limiting factor to the growth of these top youth talents in FM24, the right training and exposure to match experience can still make them very strong.

Understanding dynamic potential in Football Manager 2024

Dynamic potential in Football Manager 2024 is a mechanic integrated into the game in order to give a sense of randomness across multiple save files. 

In previous Football Manager games, the potential ability (PA) of the top-rated youth players in Football Manager was locked to a value between 0 and 200. With dynamic potential, the PA of these players can exist within ranges that are randomised upon the start of a game.

The ranges are as follows:

  • 10 (170-200)
  • 95 (160-190)
  • 9 (150-180)
  • 85 (140-170)
  • 8 (130-160)
  • 75 (120-150)
  • 7 (110-140)

This continues all the way down to -1 in the same fashion. Because of this dynamic potential, some of these young talents in Football Manager 2024 aren’t guaranteed to be elite in every save file, so make sure you scout players before buying and keep a tracker on wonderkids in your Football Manager 2024 game

The best wonderkid Right Backs in Football Manager 2024

Michael Kayode

Starting off our FM24 Right Back wonderkids guide is Fiorentina’s Michael Kayode. 

Kayode, who is a versatile Right Back, is best suited to more defensive football thanks to his 12 Marking, 13 Positioning, and 15 Tackling, but can also be used offensively if needed. Additionally, thanks to his 12 Jumping Reach and 13 Heading, he can also be used effectively as an Inverted Full-Back. 

Kayode has a current ability (CA) of 133, meaning he is ready to start for most teams straight away and a PA that ranges between 150-180, which is exceptionally high and makes him one of the best wonderkid Right Backs in Football Manager 2024.

Rico Lewis

Manchester City’s Rico Lewis has enjoyed an incredible breakthrough for Pep Guardiola’s English champions and it’s for that reason he features in our list of the top-rated wonderkid Right Backs in Football Manager 2024. 

Despite his home-grown status, Lewis is valued at just £23-£29m at the start of your save. This value, while high, makes him one of the biggest wonderkid bargains anywhere in Football Manager 2024.

An incredibly well-rounded player, Lewis is capable of providing a supplement to your midfield as an Inverted Wing-Back while also equally adept at operating in a more traditional Wing-Back role. Additionally, Lewis can also be used as cover for the midfield itself, as he is an exceptional Ball-Winning Midfielder.

Tino Livramento 

The second English player on our list of the best young Right Back talents in Football Manager 2024 is Newcastle’s Tino Livramento.

A product of the Chelsea youth academy, Newcastle bought Livramento from Southampton after their relegation from the English Premier League. During his time with Southampton, Livramento established himself as one of the best attacking potential talents in the world, and that is represented in his Football Manager rating.

With a CA of 140, Livramento is already an incredibly strong player but can improve massively thanks to his PA range of 150-180. However, if you hope to buy Livramento you will be forced to wait as he has only just joined Newcastle.

Conor Bradley

The next player on our list of the best wonderkid Right Backs in Football Manager 2024 is Liverpool’s North Irish Right Back, Conor Bradley. 

The current understudy to Trent Alexander Arnold, this can work out in your favour in-game, as Bradley will often be allowed to leave due to the lack of game time he will receive. 

Bradley is a well-rounded Right Back who excels physically thanks to his 16 Pace and Acceleration. Valued at £21-£31m at the start of your game, he is first team ready and it won’t taje long before he is one of the best Right Backs in the world.

Elias Jelert

Now it’s time to look at a cheap wonderkid Right Back in Football Manager 2024, FC Kobenhavn’s Elias Jelert. 

Jelert, who is best used as a more attacking Right Back option, is valued between £9-£10m, making him and FM24 wonderkid bargain.

Jelert is very fast, with 15 in both Pace and Acceleration and will bomb up and down the right flank all game thanks to his 15 Work Rate attribute.

Kosta Nedeljkovic

The final player in our FM24 wonderkid Right Backs guide is Aston Villa’s new signing Kosta Nedeljkovic, who will start your game on loan to his former club, Crvena Zvezda.

Nedeljkovic’s valuation shot up because of this move, and you can now expect to sign him for anywhere between £12.5-£14.5m. However, because of the move to Aston Villa, it is unlikely you will be able to sign him until the third season due to when he joins Villa at the end of the first season.

The youngest player on this list, he is also the most defensively-minded once he develops, despite looking more well-rounded on his initial stats.
