Let's see who made the list of our top 5 wonderkids under £5m, fyi the players on the list are not ordered in any particular way.
Thiago Almada
• Age: 18
• Current Value: £2m
• Nationality: Argentinian
• Current Club: Velez Sarsfield
A very well-known name in Football Manager 2020, Almada is one of the best Attacking midfielder wonderkids in FM20. The 18 year old already starts off with very decent attributes and excels at picking out passes. He develops into an absolute monster of a midfielder in most of the saves. He was named in the Next Generation talent list of the Guardian in 2018, and FM most definitely recognises his potential. His Potential Ability wavers between 160 and 175 in most saves. He is available for a price of around £4m at the start of the save and is easily on of the best players you can acquire for that price.
Exequiel Palacios
• Age: 20
• Current Value: £2.9m
• Nationality: Argentinian
• Current Club: River Plate
Another Argentinian wonderkid in game, Palacios is one of the best young playmaking midfielders in the game. As with Almada, he goes on to become one of the best central midfielders and can be trained to be versatile and play as a wide midfielder. In real life, Argentina have recognised his potential and have given him 4 senior caps for the national side already and the player is scouted by several European clubs. His stats start off decently and he is well rounded but goes on to become one of the best playmakers in most saves. His Potential Ability varies between 160-170 in most saves and he is available for just £4.5m at the start of a new save.
Manuel Gasparini
• Age: 17
• Current Value: £105k
• Nationality: Italian
• Current Club: Udinese
There are not many great goalkeeping wonderkids in the fm20, especially not many who are available for under £5m. Gasparini is an exception to this. He is in the mould of legendary Italian goalkeeper Buffon and has good potential ability in most saves (Between 150-165). His biggest advantage is his height; he already measures at a towering 6’3” and can still grow further. Considering that he is available for as low as £3m at the start of a save he could be one of the best investments in the game for most sides.
Francisco Trincao
• Age: 19
• Current Value: £1.3m
• Nationality: Portuguese
• Current Club: Braga
Trincao has been a wonderkid for a couple of editions and is considered to be a high potential player in Portugal. He has represented Portugal at several junior levels and his biggest achievement is winning the UEFA European u19 championship in 2018. He ended up as the joint highest goalscorer of the tournament along with compatriot Diogo Jota. Primarily a left winger, Trincao is very comfortable playing on either wing and can even operate comfortably as a forward. His potential ability in the game varies between 150 to 160 and is available for as low as around £2.5m.
Matias Arezo
• Age: 16
• Current Value: £600k
• Nationality: Uruguayan
• Current Club: River Plate Montevideo
At just 16 years of age, Arezo is the youngest player on this list. The Uruguayan striker is a regular for the u17 national side and is scouted by a few European clubs. His play style have drawn comparisons with legendary striker Luis Suarez and many believe that he has similar potential to the legend. His potential ability in game, varies between 145 and 160 and the player has very well rounded overall stats. He is available at the start of a new save for just £1m and could be a good investment for most sides.
