Football Manager 2026 Possible Wonderkids

This is a list of more than 210 young players we think think they could be wonderkids or potential wonderkids on Football Manager 2026, based on what we know from real football.

As always, we don't include players who appear on our famous list of wonderkids for FM24 in an effort to find some fresh starlets who are still relatively unknown.

The age limit is to be up to 20 years old by 3 July 2024. Please note that the order is totally random.
