Wonderkids that await us in FM20. This Football Manager 2020 wonderkids shortlist was made with aid of the Golden Boy nominees list of one hundred most perspective young players in European football.
FM20 is soon to be released in November and it's time we start our wonderkids scouting. To aid us in this scouting mission we turn to Golden Boy 2019 shortlist of nominees, which contains one-hundred of the world's most exciting young talents.
What is Golden Boy Award?
The Golden Boy is an award that is given by sports journalists to a young footballer playing in Europe perceived to have been the most impressive during a calendar year (two halves to two separate seasons).
All nominees must be under the age of 21 and play in a European nation's top tier.[post_ads_2]
