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 Strikers in Football Manager 2024:
Endrick
Kicking off our list of the best wonderkid strikers in Football Manager 2024 is one of the most famous wonderkids in the world, Endrick.
Signing Endrick in your save won’t be easy, he is already set to join Spanish giants Real Madrid at the end of the first season. Because of this move, that means you won’t be able to sign him until at least the third season, if you can even convince him to leave Madrid.
An elite finisher with exceptional Physical attributes, if you can convince Endrick to leave Madrid, you will be signing one of the best players in the world.
Vitor Roque
The next player in our list of top-rated Striker wonderkids in Football Manager 2024 is another Striker who has recently moved from Brazil to La Liga, this time Vitor Roque of Barcelona.
Roque doesn’t quite have the potential of Endrick, his PA range is 150-180 compared to Endrick’s 160-190, but he will be easier to sign from Barcelona than Endrick will be from Madrid.
Valued at the start of the save between £35-£43m, Roque will often ask to leave within the first three seasons due to limited game time. When he does so, that is your time to pounce.
Evan Ferguson
The next player in our FM24 Strikers wonderkid guide is Evan Ferguson of Brighton, who broke through for the Seagulls in the 22/23 season.
A surprisingly mobile forward despite his 6’’2 frame and 10 Agility, Ferguson offsets this bulkiness with 16 Pace and 15 Acceleration, making him an incredibly quick mover Off The Ball.
Valued between £41-£60m, Ferguson isn’t a cheap wonderkid in FM24, but he does have the capacity to become one of the best Strikers in the world.
Shaqueel Van Persie
The next player on our list is one of the new wonderkids in Football Manager 2024 and is also a piece of footballing heritage. Son of former Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie, Shaqueel Van Persie is one Striker wonderkid you don’t want to miss out on.
One of the bigger bargains for wonderkid Strikers in FM24, Van Persie is available for just £14.5-£17.5m at the start of your save.
However, due to his low current ability (CA) of 100, you won’t be able to use him straight away. That being said, he has a PA range of 150-180, so he can develop into an extremely good player if you do decide to splash the cash anyway.
Mathys Tel
The next player in our list of the best teenage players who play as Strikers in FM24 is Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel.
Signed from Rennes, Tel is the latest in a long line of French rising stars in FM24 and is a versatile attacker who can also be used on the wings as well as in the Striker position.
Valued between £34-£51m, he is costly, but he will typically be willing to leave Bayern for that price due to limited gametime.
Karim Konate
The final player on our list of the best wonderkid Strikers in Football Manager and rounding out our Football Manager 2024 Striker wonderkids guide is RB Salzburg’s Ivorian Striker, Karim Konate.
A physical monster, Konate has 17 Acceleration, 16 Agility, and 15 Pace. He also has 16 Bravery, which makes him perfect for the Pressing Forward role.
Valued £12.5-£14.5m, Karim Konate is one of the best cheap wonderkids in Football Manager 2024 and is also one of the biggest wonderkids bargains in FM24.
