Most virtual managers look forward to discovering young wunderkinds who will develop into world-class talents, but finding these high-potential young players is difficult, and finding them quickly is even more difficult. Here's the quickest way to find Wonderkid potentials for your team while playing Football Manager 2024.
How to Find Wonderkids While Playing Football Manager 2024?
What is Wonderkid in Football Manager 24?
If you've never heard the term "Wonderkid" before, it's exactly what it sounds like: A young football player with very high potential. Think of Lionel Messi's meteoric rise through Barcelona's youth system in the early 2000s, or Cristiano Ronaldo's immediate impact at Sporting CP. Generally, wonderkid is a high potential player between the ages of 15 and 21. These are the crown jewel of the football market. It is the dream of scouts and sports departments all over the world to discover and transfer them before they rise to the top of football. But how do you find them? And how do you find them efficiently? Here is the answer.
Check Out the Youth National Teams to Find Wonderkids Early
Yes, I know what you're thinking: Playing on the youth national team is not a prerequisite for being a wunderkind. You are correct in coming to this conclusion. However, digging deeper into the details is key to separating the average youth national team player from the best.
The key when examining youth national team squads is to identify players competing at higher levels than their age group.. For example, if a player is 15 years old, lives in a top-tier country and is playing at U-18 level, it would be fair to say that this player is far beyond his years in terms of talent. It should be noted that having a high ability at the moment does not necessarily correlate with having great potential. However, in various studies on FM, it has been discovered that players with high potential progress much faster than those with low potential.
Checking Media Descriptions in Player Search
I don't want to crush anyone's dreams, but the term "wonderkid" is not a term that coaches, managers or scouts use seriously. Instead, it is a term used by the media to create excitement around a young player that many have high hopes for. Football Manager 24 recognizes this and uses it as such: a media term. And this term is searchable!
To see who the media classifies as a wonderkid, follow these steps:
- Click on Scouting.
- Hover over the players.
- Click Players in Range.
After selecting these options, you will see a large list of players. To find out who is the wonderkid among them, do the following:
- Click the views drop-down menu next to the number of Players found.
- Point to Custom.
- Select Customize Current View.
- Click the Filter drop-down menu and select General.
- Select Media Description from the listed options.
After completing these steps, the list of players can be sorted based on the media release. It's in alphabetical order, so sort by media release and look for players mentioned as Wonderkids. Now you have a list of players that the media has identified as the next generation of football without doing extensive scouting.
This is how you can quickly find wonderkids while playing Football Manager 2024.
