Top 5 Possible Wonderkids in Football Manager 2023

Our list of young players who could potentially be wonderkids in Football Manager 2023.

As the new version of Football Manager approaches, so do speculations about who the young players with the prestigious wonderkid status could be. So let’s see who could be the new young stars in FM23.

1. Archie Gray (Leeds)

In some families, footballing talent runs down the family tree like water. Examples include the Wright family with Ian Wright, Shaun Wright Phillips, Bradley Wright Phillips to D’Margio Wright Phillips and the Alonso family with three generations of Marcos to have played international football for Spain. Another such family is the Gray family at Leeds. Former Leeds manager and legend Eddie Gray’s great nephew is Archie Gray, the next big thing to come through at Elland Road. Archie will become the fourth member of the Gray family to pull on the famous white shirt.

At just 15 years old, Archie Gray was included on the Leeds bench by Marcelo Bielsa. The now 16-year-old is playing regularly in the Under 23s and looks destined for an extremely bright future. The midfielder is skilful with a good passing range. If Archie Gray is even half as good as his family members, Leeds will be set for the future.

2. Julien Duranville (Anderlecht)

In May 2022, two weeks after his 16th birthday, Julien Duranville made his debut for Anderlecht in a game against Club Brugges. He was the third youngest player to play for the club after Romelu Lukaku and the original Championship Manager wonderkid Nii Lamptey.

Duranville is a highly talented youngster who is believed to be destined for the top. The young attacker is quick, dynamic, and has excellent technique. He could be an elite inside forward in the coming years. Getting him from Anderlecht as soon as possible will help your team in the coming years.

3. Enes Sali (Farul Constanța)

Romanian wonderkid Enes Sali became the youngest European player to appear in a competitive international match when he came on as a substitute against Liechtenstein, aged 15 years last year.

Having spent some of his formative years at Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, Sali is already known for his quick dribbling skills and exquisite ball control. At his current club Farul, Sali is managed by the greatest Romanian footballer of all time Gheorghe Hagi. This can only help the young midfielder’s development. But how long Sali will stay at Farul is another question.

4. Endrick (Palmeiras)

Endrick Felipe is the next in the Brazilian production line of highly talented forwards already being looked at by the biggest European clubs. Because of Endrick’s deadly goal-scoring feats at the youth level, Palmeiras gave him a new contract with a £60m release clause. He has already visited the Santiago Bernabeu and the Nou Camp. So, he’s likely to follow in the footsteps of Neymar, Vinicius Jr, and Gabriel Martinelli and be in Europe as soon as he reaches 18.

Endrick is highly sought after because he looks like an outrageous talent. He has electric feet, two good feet, and, most importantly, the ability to put the ball in the back of the net. If Endrick can reach his potential, he could be one of the world’s best players.

5. Paul Wanner (Bayern Munich)

In January 2022, Julian Nagelsmann gave 16-year-old Paul Wanner his debut for the Bayern Munich first team. Wanner became the illustrious club’s youngest ever player. Sadio Mané said that Wanner is on the right track to becoming a world-class player.

A highly versatile player, Wanner can play in midfield, on the wing, or even behind the striker. However, Nagelsmann is already looking at the 16-year-old as Alphonso Davies’ understudy at wingback. For this reason, Bayern didn’t sign a backup left back in the summer. A real representation of the trust and confidence that Nagelsmann and Bayern have in the young German talent.
