FAQ
What are FM 2026 Wonderkids?
Wonderkids are very young players that have the potential to become the top players of the future. They are usually under 21 years old and they have a large margin to progress and become a top player when they get older.
They are basically the best young players in the game.
Even being classified as wonderkid, these type of players need to have good training and enough regular game time to improve their attributes over time.
Why should I sign wonderkids instead of already established players?
Wonderkids are the future of your team. While they take alot of time to develop, they could already be a good option for your squad. Signing wonderkids early guarantees that you are a step ahead of the big clubs, and it is the best way to compete with the biggest clubs. You could make good money with them in the future or just take their profit in the pitch if you can keep them on your team forever.
When they reach their peak you can sell them for 20x or 30x the value you paid initially when they were young. So, you should take good care of them in order to achieve their maximum potential.
Why I can’t find some players in my Football Manager 2026 save?
This happens because you don’t have that specific player loaded in your save due to the type of database you selected when you start the save game. You should use a Large database in order to get as many possible players of this list. Optionally you should also select players from specific countries in order to get all the wonderkids of that countries in your save game.
We can also say that even loading the largest database you still can’t find many players of this list because we loaded all players in game (around 400,000) to achieve this list.
Loading all players available will slow alot your Football Manager 2026, so we recommend you use the suggestion given by the star rating while you create a new save. The stars indicate how fast the game will process, try to achieve four or more stars to have a fast processing of the in-game days.
The future screenshots are realiable? These players will achieve those exact attributes?
Yes, they are realiable, however doesn’t mean these attributes will be exactly the same as shown in the screenshots. Those attributes are an aproximattion. The development could be affected by a variety of factors.
The wonderkids ranking system we choose to use
Every wonderkid is rated based on their potential ability, for this we use a star rating like the scouts use in Football Manager 2026, this will make it easier for you to understand who are the best of the best.
We could use a rating based on the functioning of Football Manager editor but it could be more complicated to understand, so to simplificate we prefer to use a rating equal to that of the scouts as it is easier to understand.
How to use the search tool in the tables?
The search tool allows you to search for specific positions, age, nationality or club. If you’re looking for all the wonderkids from Portugal then just type Portugal in the search box and it will appear the wonderkids of that nationality.
