Here's our list of 10 best Football Manager 2022 wonderkids that you should check out in FM22.

For anyone trying to build a team on Football Manager 2022, the old adage is true: you are only as good as your worst player. Trying to find the best players to bring in to bulk up your team? Then check this list out. 

In this article, we will break down the ten best wonderkids that you should look for in your FM22 team.

Each player will likely be coveted from day one, so just keep that in mind as you try to pick up some of the most exciting young talents in the FM22 database today.

 

Hugo Felix – Portugal – SL Benfica

Fancy picking up a player dubbed the new Rui Costa by some? Then take a look at Hugo Felix. He is a tremendous ball-playing midfielder and could be just what your team needs for a spark off the bench. Though likely too raw to play in a top team from day one, he could easily be in your rotation by as early as 2022.

A top young player with a great all-around game for one so young. You should definitely have him on your must-have list in Football Manager 2022.

 

Reinier Jesus – Brazil – Real Madrid

Your best bet of landing Reinier is when his loan with Borussia Dortmund runs out and he is available for transfer once again. Real Madrid likely will not make space for him so he should become available for transfer, and if he does you could land a genuinely world-class talent.

Things have not worked out in Spain or in Germany. The player has all of the raw talent to make up for lost time, though, and could be the ideal available wonderkid to buy.

 

Yeremy Pino – Spain – Villareal

Trying to find an exciting young winger? Then be sure to look at Pino. The youngster has signed a new deal with Villarreal in real life, but is likely still available to sign outright if you move quickly in FM22. He could be a great pick-up for any club looking to buy a player they should have no doubt can become a top class international.

A natural dribbler and finisher, he can play on both wings and could easily offer you a new versatile young attacking option.

 

Brian Oddei – Ghana – Sassuolo

A young and flashy winger, Brian Oddei looks set to be one of the next players to break through at the Italian club. He has shown a real aptitude for development in his young career; the fact he is playing for such a development-heavy club should speak highly of his obvious potential.

Though he will likely need some time and patience at elite level, a small basic wage means he is more attainable for smaller clubs than other names who have made our FM2022 wonderkids list.

 

Takuhiro Nakai – Japan – Real Madrid

Despite being only 17 years of age, Nakai has everything needed to become a modern playmaker. He has a fine natural vision, excellent technique, and impressive composure for one so young. He could be hard to pick up from Real Madrid, but their total lack of effort in giving him games could mean that he grows frustrated in 2022.

Definitely a player to keep an eye on if you want someone who could be built and turned into a top class playmaker at the highest level of football.

 

Hannibal – Tunisia – Manchester United

Having already made his debut for Manchester United, you might struggle to land him before 2022 begins. If you can land him, though, you are buying a top rate youngster with exceptional ball-playing qualities. As many youngsters need he will require time to fill out physically and to learn the more mental side of the game, but he can already contribute at any level outside of the elite.

You will need some patience with Hannibal, but he could be an absolutely stellar long-term signing.

 

Mateusz Musialowski – Poland – Liverpool FC

If you fancy landing a young player with immense potential, then 17-year-old Polish winger Mateusz Musialowski is a good shout. The young Pole has exceptional ability on the ball, though his off ball movement and work rate needs serious improvement.

For a young kid, though, he has all of the attributes that one could need from a wide attacker. Definitely, one to add to your list of players to look into signing on FM 22. Hard to pry away from Liverpool, but by no means impossible.

 

Calegari – Brazil – Fluminense

The young full-back has all of the ability needed to play both at right-back and in holding midfield. Some might compare him to Fabinho due to that. Calegari has hugely impressive mental attributes and could break into the first-team of just about any elite side by 2022-23.

He has all of the ability you need to trust him in high pressure scenarios, and Calegari is also at one of the most indebted clubs in Brazil so you could find landing him easier than other options in Europe.

 

Riccardo Calafiori – Italy – AS Roma

Any young player getting even slight amounts of game time under Jose Mourinho must be tremendous. Calafiori offers a high-quality option for any team that needs a left-sided full-back who could also play in central defend if asked. He has some excellent overall qualities, with a surprisingly high amount of pace and a good natural build for a defender.

While his technical game needs some work, you should have no problem in shaping Calafiori into an international full-back if you give it enough time.

 

Wesley Fofana – France – Leicester City

Though already playing at a high level, there is no doubt that Fofana could step up to the next level entirely. Put him in the team of any elite club – because he will cost elite money – and you could have a defensive lynchpin for years to come.

Fofana handled the step up into the Premier League with consummate ease, and looks every bit the young gem he was pegged to be back in France. A high-cost signing, but perhaps the most sure-fire name on this list in terms of a wonderkid who will absolutely come good.
