Hello and welcome!
As promised, here is an FM21 version of my popular Wonderkids 2020 database from last year!About the database
This database will be a file simply adding young players into the game. Most will be U16 players, but the occasional player up to 23 may find their way in, if I feel they were unfairly left out of the base game. In the download, a facepack, and an excel sheet are also included, but more on that a little laterAs you might imagine, it can be quite hard to find data on young players, especially in England. Therefore, while all players are recreated to the best of my abilities, there will almost certainly be errors here and there. However, if you're more knowledgeable than I, do feel free to leave a comment, and I'll correct it in the next update!
How to install
- Put the "FM21 - New Wonderkids" file in: "Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\editor data"
- Put the "Faces" folder in: "Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\graphics\faces"
In order to see every single added player, you need to be sure to load the league they play in when you create your save game. For example, to load Marcel Mendes-Dudzinski, who plays in the Polish league, you need to be sure to load this league, either as playable, or manually through the custom database settings.
If/When the faces don't match the players
For the faces provided, I have named them so that ideally, they should load in like they have to. However, if you're like me, and play with a ton of database mods, they're almost definitly not going to match, as the other databases also add players, so the Unique ID's no longer match. So in order to fix this, you need to rename the files so they match the new Unique ID's. Luckily, a tool called Bulk Rename Utility exsist to make this easy. To determine what to name the files, find Youssoufa Moukoko in your game. His ID will be something like 2000067647. So to rename them, just follow it down, as such:2000067647 (old id) Youssoufa Moukoko => 2000085678 (new id)
2000067648 (old id) Luka Romero => 2000085679 (+1)
2000067649 (old id) Momodou Jaiteh => 2000085680 (+2)
The order of the ID's will never change, so the order they're in now, is also the order they will be in afterwards. After renaming everything, use the fmXML tool to create a new config file. Then reload your skin in-game, and enjoy your new faces!
If the above instructions weren't enough, here is a video showing how to do it. If you still can't figure it out... I'm sorry mate, but I don't think I can help you anymore then.

As for future updates, I will for now officially state that no update will arrive until AFTER the official SI Winter Update, to avoid any duplicate players.
Thank you for your patience, and I hope you're enjoying the file regardless, even if it is quite limited in scope :-)

EDIT: I just checked a test file, the height and weight of players does grow, I'm not sure why some people are reporting that it doesn't :-)
Surely the lack of increase in height and weight is related to this mod as regular players and newgens have this? Or are you saying that when one creates a new player, the game doesn't have height/weight growth built in for these?

@owo: Sure, but it's going to be quite a while until I finish just updating with players from the FM20 version, but I will keep them in mind :-)

It was free in the fm 2020 database.
And you say he's in fm2021 in which club
Also, solid point on the youth team thing, I'll keep it in mind!
the potential rating for Momodou Jaiteh - FC Basel is with -9 a to good rating. max -85.
i personally recommend you just to include in this file wonderkids playing for youth national teams. and with exceptions some which are not yet playing for a national team, but where it is known that they are highly talented.
otherwise the file will get 'out of control'. real wonderkids are in 99% of the cases playing for national teams. other players are just 'young players', but not wonderkids. this would also help you with the workload.
