The term wonderkid (adapted from the German wunderkind) generally refers to a player with high potential that is still in their teenage years – or their very early 20s at a push.

The key is to get in there quickly and lock them down on a long-term contract. So without further ado, read on for some quick tips on the best young players to buy in FM 22.
