Best Football Manager 23 wonderkids for every position and price range

Football Manager 2023 brings a new set of wonderkids for players to uncover, develop, and turn into superstars. But who are they and where can they be found? Here, we’re running through the best FM23 wonderkids for every position and price range.

Football Manager 2023 is set to release on November 8 but, as is the case every year, the beta dropped a few weeks prior so fans can already delve into their new saves.

Alongside which clubs boast the biggest transfer budgets, a major topic every year are wonderkids, with players eager to uncover the best and brightest young talent in the game.

However, not every player opts to start out at Man City or Newcastle and so won’t have millions to splash. As a result, we’re setting out the best wonderkids for every position but also diversifying our picks based on their starting transfer values.

Naturally, the better players tend to cost more but bargains can still be found in the most unlikely of places. The value columns below detail the range between approximate player value and expected transfer fee (hence why some vary considerably).

Finally, we’ll be ignoring the most obvious choices – everyone knows about Jude Bellingham, Pedri and Erling Haaland.

Best FM23 wonderkids: Defenders (RB, LB & CB)

Best FM23 wonderkids: Central Midfielders (CDM, CM & CAM)

Best FM23 wonderkids: Wingers (RM, RW, LM & LW)

Naturally, players will vary between games and, depending on how their respective careers pan out, they may not reach their full potential or may be available cheaper or more expensive than the stated price ranges.

Regardless, these youngsters are some of the best players in SI’s latest title so get your scouts and wallets ready and make them as good as they can be.
