Football Manager 2024 Bargain Wonderkids & U21 Talents

You already know my list of Football Manager 2024 wonderkids. It's the most complete, in-depth and accurate assessment of FM wonderkids you can find online.

But how many of these wonder players can you sign for a reasonable price? I've compiled this list to help you find the best under-21 talents that you can sign without breaking the bank.

There are 270 bargain young talents below.

Released: October 24th, 2023

Bargain Wonderkids & U21 Prospects

Wonderkids are players with potential ability of at least 150 (fixed) or -8 (range). For this list, I've only included young talents who exist in my full list of wonderkids and avoided players with lower potential.

You can see what the asking price will be at the start of the game. I've handpicked players with an asking price (also known as sale value) of up to £8.5M, but the vast majority will go for way less.

It's important to note that asking price (AP) is not always the same on every save you start. It's a complex calculated number that can be affected by the player's PA, which is why I've used the average value over multiple saves created.

My rating (R) explained

This is my personal recommendation system for your convenience. It's my own assessment of the potential development of the young players listed below. I'm using a 1-100 scale based on English divisions.

80+ key player for 1st division teams
77-79 rotation/backup for 1st division teams
74-76 important player for 2nd division teams
71-73 important player for 3rd division teams

Click on the table headers (name, age, etc) for easy sorting. Press and hold Shift while clicking the headers to sort by multiple columns. Doing that will enable you to easily sort by asking price and my recommendation rating at the same time.

FAQ

I can't find all players of this list on my savegame. Why?

I loaded all players (476k+) in-game to produce this list of FM24 bargain wonderkids & U21 talents. Your savegame probably has less players loaded.

Where is the downloadable shortlist to import in-game?

Sorry, I don't have one. I used to share shortlists before, but people would steal them and post on other sites without my consent. However, I will release a few shortlists with my favorite players.
