Football Manager 2020 is here which means it’s time to unearth a new generation of wonderkids.

It’s that time of year again, folks, when prospective managers all over the world take to the virtual dug-out as the latest instalment of Football Manager hits the app store.

This time around, fans of the ever-more in-depth series have a whole raft of changes to contend with to keep their managerial careers alive including revamped youth development and to sharpen up the mobile experience, new news and presentation features have been added.

On top of that, the ever-crucial list of wonderkids, the key to any good Football Manager save, has a few new exciting additions.

But just who should you aim to bring into your team? 

Football Manager 2020 is out!

Fans of the game on PC have already spent two weeks enjoying the FM beta but now the full Football Manager 2020 game is here and it’s on mobile too!

The November 19th release date has been met with plenty of wannabe managers taking the plunge into a new career and will no doubt see countless players searching to find that next great wonderkid to lead their team to glory.

The joy of the wonderkid

Wonderkids are a huge part of the Football Manager experience, especially if you’re looking to play a career over several seasons.

Not only can they play an integral part in your team of the future but if you’re short on cash can be sold for mega-profits.

Wonderkids may start on the periphery of many squads but quickly take centre-stage on the route to footballing greatness. As a result, searching out the next Lionel Messi can be a hugely important but arduous process.

Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best and brightest, but most importantly cheap, wonderkids heading our way in FM20.

But just remember, if your wonderkids don’t get any game time they’re quickly going to become wonderflops.

50 of the best and cheapest wonderkids in FM20

We all know about the likes of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Matthijs De Ligt and Kylian Mbappe, who are already massively expensive stars of the game despite their young age, so we’ll be taking a look at some of the cheaper wonderkid options out there instead, for those of you with a team that doesn’t quite have the budget to compete with the big boys. 

It’s worth noting that this is the value of the player at the very start of the game which is almost certainly going to rise if you don’t act quickly.
