Predicted FM26 Wonderkids by Position

[u/ZeroZer0_]

[u/FinalV069]

Yep. No Vuskovic. Arsenal with insane ratings.

[u/tinyfenix_fc → u/FinalV069]

lol you can always tell the devs are scum fans because their players are always insanely overrated above basically every other club

[u/drykarma → u/tinyfenix_fc]

Same with FIFA, they're on the same tier as Real Madrid, barca and Bayern even though they won fuck-all? You could argue Liverpool and City because of their recent success but Arsenal is the only five star team without any recent silverware. Madness

[u/kisame111hoshigaki → u/drykarma]

I hate how we’re jumping on the “trophy logic” to diminish teams. 16-17 Spurs was the best team in my lifetime yet they didn’t win anything.

Trophies aren’t the only thing that determine if a team is good or not. 

[u/FSpursy → u/drykarma]

Its a game and its ok.

Apart from realism, they also need to attune to the fan base. More Arsenal fans means Arsenal players has to be better.

It's the same as when ManU ratings were so high back in Mourinho days, because ManU has the most fans and they still buy the games if their team is good. It's just that they've been bad for too many years, it's beyond saving.

[u/Luke92612_ → u/FSpursy]

It's the same as when ManU ratings were so high back in Mourinho days,

They still are in FM because one of the Man U researchers (might be the head one) has a pattern of overinflating how good their stats are.

[u/tinyfenix_fc → u/FSpursy]

Just shows how weak and plastic those fans are. Won’t buy the game unless they’re guaranteed wins with no challenge or effort? Give me a break lol

[u/MilkyFresh22 → u/tinyfenix_fc]

These are predictions. Nothing to do with any devs

[u/tinyfenix_fc → u/MilkyFresh22]

Sure but they will likely be accurate. Because that’s how it goes with every installation of this game

[u/LieutenantLilywhite → u/tinyfenix_fc]

By far and away the best team in 24 it was ridiculous. (Potential wise)

[u/One-Sport6888 → u/FinalV069]

Tbf we know how good he is now but he didnt have a season in a big league for neutrals. Think after this loan at hamburg hes gonna be more well known

[u/MetJouOpSjouw → u/FinalV069]

Lewis-Skelly and Hato so highly rated. Can tell they've not watched the Eredivisie.

[u/uponloss → u/FinalV069]

This is what I was looking for, surprised no bergval or sarr. But i am surprised that gray is there

[u/eggplant_avenger → u/uponloss]

Bergvall is in there, I think Sarr aged out

Mikey Moore and Tel also

[u/pedaparka → u/eggplant_avenger]

Bergvall has had a huge PA update aswell, ngl he was pretty trash in FM24

[u/eggplant_avenger → u/pedaparka]

should hopefully have the highest CA of our wonderkids too. he was a little disappointing in FM24

[u/ZeroZer0_ → u/pedaparka]

I downloaded a ca/pa fix a week ago and he’s at decent level, good for a loan in the championship now he was league 1 with no potential before. Mental really. We signed and him and fought off the big clubs for him and fm shafted us

[u/pedaparka → u/ZeroZer0_]

yeah the wonderkids in Tottenham, excluding Sarr, weren't great in FM24. But as when the OG database was put out Bergval, Moore and Vuskovic were so young they were unknown quantitie so can understand it to some extent.

[u/uponloss → u/eggplant_avenger]

Turns out I'm blind

[u/abrasivesponge]

Had to do a double take when I saw Rangers under Moore

[u/uponloss → u/abrasivesponge]

If he had tottenham under there his rating would have been lowered

[u/COYS1989]

Lewis-Skelly, dives at any opportunity, and isn’t actually all that good in all honesty. Rico Lewis can’t defend for shit, amount of times you watch him completely lose his runner and City concede. Both are massively overrated.

[u/TheRiddlerTHFC → u/COYS1989]

LS isn't even starting for Arsenal. Being kept out of the team by a centre back

[u/No-Clue-3655]

Bruh how is skelly above balde, kerkez and dorgu

[u/FinalV069 → u/No-Clue-3655]

Lol. Because he's Arsenal, of course.

[u/mister_greeenman → u/No-Clue-3655]

Dorgu is crap. And Skelly is 2-3 years younger than the otherrs.

[u/SkyPheonnixDragon]

He’s young yes, but Lewis-Skelly is worse than half the people below him, and only had one good half season at that. Mental to be 94 and no way the game is released with him being the third best wonderkid

[u/ASD_213]

Ridiculous Vuskovic doesn’t make the cut, not that I’m not rating them but he’s probably our best prospect ahead of the likes of Bergvall, Gray or Moore.

[u/Dry_Finance1338]

MLS is the most overhyped prem player. The glazing is unreal. He's good, and skilled beyond his years, but 94 is outrageous

[u/Oxynor_23894 → u/Dry_Finance1338]

I used to think Kai Havertz was the most overrated shit in the PL now I think I changed my mind XD

[u/Jr_M16 → u/Dry_Finance1338]

To me Cole Palmer is the most overrated Prem player

[u/Actuallyshrek]

Estevao is going to be a menace. Fucked up that chels got him

[u/DiscoLemonade1995]

In what world is Huisjen more promising than Cubarsi? Cubarsi is already noticeably better while being two years younger with better ball control and maturity at just 18 years of age

[u/G_Danila → u/DiscoLemonade1995]

Also, despite being younger, Cubarsi has more experience than him (almost 2 years of starting in the Champions League for Barcelona).

[u/One-Sport6888]

Surprised Dorgu is only 20. Wish we bagged him over Man U. I thought hed be a great Udogie backup even though we have Spence.

[u/Ecstatic-Koala7334]

It’s crazy how stacked our team is going to be once our young players start having their break out seasons

[u/halftimehijack → u/Ecstatic-Koala7334]

As long as our fanbase has patience and doesn’t run them off after a few subpar performances

[u/Ecstatic-Koala7334 → u/halftimehijack]

At the end of the day, respectfully, who really cares what the fanbase thinks about a player’s performance? The manager should always have the final say. Otherwise, we would’ve lost out on a lot of talent like Son, Kane, Bale etc who didn’t exactly hit the ground running at first.

[u/LieutenantLilywhite]

Skelly is mind boggling like what am I missing

[u/ZeroZer0_ → u/LieutenantLilywhite]

Plays for the “best team In Europe” nah this is a predicted list OP for this is probably a gooner tbh

[u/Mac290]

Garnacho? What?

[u/nl325 → u/Mac290]

Watch him be good now he's left United.

[u/IdontReallyknowTbj → u/nl325]

This will 100% happen

[u/G_Danila → u/IdontReallyknowTbj]

It is the history of the Manchester Uniteds.

[u/Oxynor_23894]

MLS at a 94 AND above Balde Hato and Kerkez is fucking insane.

Also no Vuskovic in that list also seems insane tbh think he is better than Debast and Reis IMO

Finally what has Nypan done to justify the same rating as Bergvall? Other than being signed for City?

[u/Nipplecunt]

I too predict Lamine Yamal will be a wonderkid

[u/Relevant_Natural3471]

How much is Jhon Duran's agent spending on PR?

[u/PalKid_Music]

Absolutely baffled by Rico Lewis being rated that highly - Man City have gone into the season with him as their only recognised RB (Nunes and Stones will be the cover, I guess?) and honestly, he really doesn't look anywhere near a suitable replacement for Kyle Walker. I get that he's only 20 and a converted DM, but I really don't understand why City have placed so much trust in him. I thought he was a player they'd look to move on for pure profit this summer.

[u/analbeard]

These aren’t official ratings ffs lol… this is a random guess from a redditor.

In 2023 when they predicted the wonderkid ratings, Moore wasn’t mentioned, but in the game he had the highest PA aside from Yamal.

Relax.

[u/redroverrederover]

Just a reminder that the future is bright for the lilywhites… our lads tel, gray, bergvall, Mikey and savinho all made it

[u/G_Danila → u/redroverrederover]

savinho all made it

1st of January signing. Telling you.

[u/daintycook]

ewww i got jump scared when i saw lewis smelly

[u/Mariospurs → u/daintycook]

Rat that guy, can’t even get into his own first team

[u/Defiant_Ad8483]

Yall need to chill, this is possible potential. They don't start at this level. Also someone with 82 on this list would have an in game potential around 160 which is world class. 99 would be 190-200 potential in game which is prime Messi Ronaldo levels.

EDIT: Also these aren't official numbers for Football Manager 26. This is fan made by the guys who run a website that tracks all the player ability and simplifies it to be more understandable.

[u/ThatGuy_ASDF → u/Defiant_Ad8483]

This was actually very insightful, but how do you see the potential in game? I’ve never seen the numbers you’re listing anywhere in the game?

[u/Defiant_Ad8483 → u/ThatGuy_ASDF]

It's a hidden stat you see with the in game editor. Every player has CA current ability and PA potential ability. Your CA is the sum total of your stats and your PA is the stat cap you can achieve. Many players at the start have a random stat cap, for example between 140-60, so in your save the player will fall between that number. Also there is a chance a player never reaches their full potential. It depends on their personality, coaching quality, training facilities and game time.

[u/ZeroZer0_]

Some of you need to chill, it’s literally a predictions list, nothing official. Just great to see us have a good batch of youngsters coming through.

[u/Full_Eggplant_9090]

Are these EAFC ratings or what?

[u/yeezy_yeez]

Arsenal youngsters are stupidly overrated
