Best Wonderkids NOT in Europe or South America

I am feeling the wonderkids right now. FM22 has been out for a little while now and the database has been balanced and updated. The wonderkids on this new Football Manager have emerged from the mist. Or rather, they’ve stayed hidden deep in the database but there are no issues or mistaken ratings in there anymore. I have to say, out of all the wonderkid lists I’ve made off Football Manager in the past few years, these were the hardest people to find.
There are just not a lot of top-tier wonderkids on FM that aren’t playing in Europe or South America. Obviously, a few of these guys or a few other wonderkids we don’t know yet will burst onto the scene in the next few years, but it seems to be tougher to find those really special players outside the really top continents. I mean for Football Manager it is just more of a risk to assign really high potential to players not playing on the two best continents. I hope this changes in the future but I understand it. It makes this list all the more interesting. Will a few of these wonderkids turn into the next Son? The next McKennie? Bailey? Mendy? Mane? I hope so because we’ve found them early.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

I know it would take a while but a video on the best young player from each country would be insane.

[@keshav7428]

Everyone upvote this so he sees it

[@CompaSystem]

Andorra, Guam, and Lesotho about to go crazy

[@LuisolePlays]

Fatawu has made the move to Europe, he has signed a contract with Sporting Portugal, and he is coming on his 18th birthday, as of now he is spending time in dreams fc, so he keeps playing until his birthday

[@Gohawk]

no he signed for liverpool but he is going to sporting on loan to get a work permit

[@LuisolePlays]

@@Gohawk No, thats false he has signed on a permanent deal with sporting

[@Gohawk]

@@LuisolePlays yh i just checked now again. fair play

[@LuisolePlays]

@@Gohawk no problem, liverpool were interested i think but in the end he is going to portugal

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

That seems a great move!

[@Rozmette]

Thanks for this reply, really missing some sum up screen at end of the video during those things in Zs videos.

[@tannerwilson4843]

Living in Dallas, I wish FC Dallas could do a better job of translating academy access to MLS Success. We failed to make the MLS Cup Playoffs AGAIN THIS YEAR! ITS SO FRUSTRATING, some playoff success would be nice before getting some major opportunities elsewhere.

[@qshkqn]

This channel is becoming my most favourite thing beyond the SR-71 blackbird.

[@mohammedyazan6475]

For anyone actually interested especially Zealand. The Syrian league is ongoing, try searching for youtube videos of teams like Tishreen or AL-Wahda and you can see fans that will change your point of view. Btw very happy that our boys made it to top 20.

[@Givanpes]

@@Micfri300 That's impossible for us to know though. Unlike us they have scouted these players what I would assume extensively.

[@Murtini2023]

Syrian fans are AMAZING. I love it when Karamah fans jump up and down. I just wish the league itself was fairer in terms of players faking injury and referees being better. It seems every foul pretty much results in a minute stoppage. They need to clamp down on it.

[@adamaljaafreh9116]

I'm surprised that Anis Kassem wasn't included on this list. He has the same potential as the other guys, but he's only 16 at the start of the season

[@RansomMemoryAccess]

@@adamaljaafreh9116 Lower potential.

[@edwardparkes809]

Not sure if you saw, Le'ai broke his arm at a futsal tournament. He's currently getting surgery and rehab in Lithuania.

[@showstealer1829]

Sadge

[@moderatemapper9440]

NO

[@cyphate]

I wish I could explain how excited I get when a player I've found on my own appears in one of these lists, I feel like such a genius

[@jamezotv8403]

Honestly I love the way you break down every problem, even tho I usually know those things it's still fun to watch you, and sometimes being corrected on mistakes love from Poland FM senpai 🔥

[@Gwynbleidd1724]

Love these videos. Always good to know the obscure bargains

[@edwardparkes809]

Won't be in the base game but Adama Coulibaly from Western Springs in the New Zealand leagues has a CA of 70-80n PA of 125-135, and can be signed for free.

[@itchyshiels1999]

Fatawu popped up on my Czech league save as a free agent at 21. Been playing well for my team since then. Only player on the list I've used

[@JayB_Cnt]

What i love about this channel is the viewers who also add their talents they find...👌🏿👌🏿

[@olliew3223]

That feeling when he opens up the official list with a player you've signed in your save. Brings a tear to your eye :')

[@danielwood8103]

Cheers Zealand, perfect list for my bursaspor save 👌🏼

[@Trustfuleevees]

Fatawu very nearly moved to Liverpool earlier this year, he’s already in the sights of the biggest teams in Europe.

[@jasonparker8389]

I’ve seen George Bello since 2019 and he is gonna be something special. Once he breaks into the first team he is gonna soar into Europe.

[@borobrad97]

Mueanta has been a go-to of mine since FM20 😍

[@LordWay]

In fm19 I started my career as Iran manager and ended up having the contacts to spot the iranian wonderkids before big european clubs when I went to the mls and all the ones I signed went from there to england.

[@WelziFC7]

I’ve been doing an RB London save on FM22, currently in Vanarama National League. With how Red Bull usually produces their players with heavy influence of African talent and some Asian talent this video is a massive help!

[@LitTalkNetwork]

Dope save. might try this

[@daangroot33]

The Thai Messi has been something else since FM20 for me.

[@Demonion83]

As someone who's from Kuwait, im a bit embarresd that i didnt know about a player like Bandar Al-Salama, specially cause he plays for a club i grew up supporting, and where i lived was only about a 7 minutes walk from Alarabi stadium. I've seen some clips of him online and he looks really good, he helped the club go unbeaten the entire season and win our first league title in 19 years last season.

[@Maestro234]

Silas is class, takes him 6-9 months to adapt to your team but by the 2nd season hes a beast

[@fcschizofrenie1682]

Crazy how i have been playing with jung sang bin on fifa, and with muenta on PES, amazing to see them on here.

[@angelos3046]

I got Ali Reynah and I had recommended him in the last video. Very good CB

[@samclark7714]

Jung Sang-bin actually signed for Wolves in the January transfer window and has been on loan at Grasshoppers in Switzerland since.

[@timkraaypoel9967]

Both Bello and Alvarez got waived in my first season with Dallas. Got to pick up alvarez he is a great player

[@andres-vn3jt]

yea every year during the beta i spend my time loading every player in top clubs and look at u-23,19 national teams and check out leauges. the hard thing is getting these players in your save because alot of people dont load these places. i make them english just to make sure they show up in my load where i play and have english players loaded.

[@colestevens2224]

Haven't even played FM since 2020 but this video was fun and interesting.

[@sm441]

Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty is one of my best players in my D2 team at 18. His value is skyrocketing, got him free. IRL he's training with Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea right now.

[@trikkinikki970]

An awesome vid would be top wonderkid/youth player from each state in the USA. I know only you can pull it off Zealand.

Do a best players in general outside of europe and south america.... mainly so you can showcase Omar Abdulrahman tbh

[@achmadsyariefhidayatullaha4643]

recently, Ricardo Pepi made his move to FC Augsburg in Bundesliga fun fact, Suphanat Mueanta is the only south east asian player to made it onto this list

[@louistyrer18]

thoughout the whole video I kept thinking “how on earth hasnt the Ghanaian lad with the traction engine left foot come up yet?”, didn’t expect him to be number one!

[@Joziff_]

Not sure if you’ve checked recently but this video was my first time seeing le’ai, peaked my interest so I googled him and he’s currently playing in Bosnia, so he’s in Europe lol

[@sundeepparhar1126]

Dunno how reliable wikipedia is, but according to them, Mueanta's been signed by Leicester City now, in the past month; if he has, looking forward to see whether he's up to playing in the Premier League...

[@sharpie2907]

Zealand selling Manscaped products ,,,,, Priceless!!!

[@zaphodlucs]

I would love an opposite video, the best near retirement players that I could get for a season or two in my lower leagues saves

[@TheDarkKnightRacist]

since you're playing the dorfers, and they have been watching you play, i hope they could at least try to scout Le'ai, who knows, he might be as good as you expect.

[@davyprendergast82]

I hope you are ok bro. You are going to look back when you are 40 and wonder where this time went lol. Its fun! I just hope you get out sometimes you know man ;-)

[@ALFO9029]

watching this video and the first player in the list is someone who I signed at the start of my save when the game was released

[@abbadon666_]

Love to see salifu. Use him on my Dinamo Zagreb save and signed him for £82k. Been so much fu seeing him grow into Zagrebs's Number 1

[@PM9193]

Well I now know that I just signed the top prospect from this list to my Kaiserslautern save before I check this video. My scouts are going to get a raise 💪

[@raferu]

Issahaku Abdul Fatawu already signed by Sporting Clube de Portugal!

[@Temarisboy]

I'm doing a suwon save rn and jung sang-bin is amazing. kid scores hat tricks for fun.

[@MrAwesomecougars]

super weird, I forgot about marshall-rutty, had him on fm21. i have mls loaded and large DB and hey he's not on my fm22 save - it's 2025 and i can't even see he was released never signed and retired - where is he at???

[@ho1mesy2011]

had gerge bello in my luton save signed for 5m sold him on for 35 two seasons later

[@kashiff1809]

Suphanat Muenta. Signed for $275k in my Lonmel SK Belgium save. Already has 14+ in dribbling finishing first touch technique composure anticipation concentration decisions flair off ball agility. 13s in a lot of other categories. Putting him on complete forward and see if he can take me to CL glory

[@Vipers_Pit]

How do you fine all of them. I have the biggest database on but can’t fine one of them.

[@sprayer2339]

In real life Issahaku Abdul Fatawu aka number 1 has alredy agreed to sign for Sporting CP in this january.

[@12obbo]

Got George Bello on an end of contract before watching this video! So happy! 😂

[@karljennerjahn1378]

Can’t wait for Gabriel Slonina to be on this list next year

[@hozonov7995]

I saw Pepi just destroying every team in the Bundesliga and I thought he wasn't real because I'm using the Newgan facepack and the photo confused me. The guy is unstoppable. And he is not even playing for Bayern or Dortmund yet, just Fortuna Dusseldorf.

[@heatsammyd]

I'm surprised Ali Reynah isn't higher on this list. Cost £5.25k and is a regular in my third season at Shrewsbury Town currently sitting 8th in the prem. Buy him straight away, loan him back out for 2 seasons and he'll get the work permit during the second season.

[@bco777]

up the salop!

[@ajkfala]

i played against bello when i was younger and he was j absolutely ridiculous, and he was a year younger than all of us too

[@lbsellis2584]

cant see most of these players in my database? pretty sure ive got everything loaded. any advice?

[@moerril]

I think Araujo scored a Hattrick against me in my Fm 21 save, he is with 1.FC Köln and was the 3rd best goalscorer in 2031 :]

[@erickmoreno7028]

Cade Cowell! He plays for my hometown club, we've been watching him for a while and I don't even follow the MLS closely

[@eufanca]

You may have needed to add regional areas in the database. Adding players from Oceania should have him show up.

one of FM or Transfer Market is wrong with Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty and it's height, one saying 5'9", the other 1.65m that's not the same height, 1.65 is about 5'5" I'm 170 and that is 5'7" on the knocker

If you play Wolverhampton with good youth facilities and coaches, should you keep young players with U23 and U18 for them for develop as a player and keep sewnior team out from the matches?

as long as you're able to pull the results to stay in the EPL, i'd use as much potential players I'm looking to develop over older players. Trim the fat, use the money to improve facilities and youth category/training even higher, and you'll pump out even better newgens.
