The seven best Premier League wonderkids on Football Manager 24

Football Manager fever is in full swing as tacticians look to unearth the wonderkid who can lead their clubs to glory for years to come.

While the likes of Bukayo Saka, Harvey Elliott and Evan Ferguson are already starring in the Premier League, a host of youngsters playing for top-flight clubs are yet to become household names.

We have picked out seven Premier League starlets who are destined for the top in the hit game.

Oscar Bobb (Manchester City)

Oscar Bobb is beginning to make waves for Manchester City in real life and all the signs suggest the Norwegian can be a success virtually.

With pace, agility and dribbling attributes already looking healthy at the age of 20, the left-footed winger will prove a dangerous weapon if you nurture him correctly.

Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United)

Kobbie Mainoo has been a revelation in midfield for Manchester United and could be the man to lead the Red Devils back to the top in your FM24 save.

The 18-year-old has impressed a deeper role in Erik ten Hag's engine room but his ball-carrying statistics suggest an advanced role could be key to unlocking his potential.

Bart Verbruggen (Brighton)

If you are looking to nail down a settled goalkeeper between the sticks for the next 10 years, few seem better options than Brighton stopper Bart Verbruggen.

Despite being just 21, the Netherlands international has good command of his area and composure, while his passing ability makes him perfect for the next Pep Guardiola or Roberto De Zerbi-style boss. 

Alex Scott (Bournemouth)

Alex Scott is yet to have a fair crack at the Premier League since his move to Bournemouth from Bristol City in the summer after struggling with injuries.

The talented 19-year-old could be another to build your team around in the advanced playmaker role, as he has already proved in previous editions of the game.

Lewis Miley (Newcastle)

Newcastle are likely to be a popular club to take charge of on FM24 given their vast financial muscle but one of their academy graduates could come along for the ride too.

Lewis Miley, 17, has taken to real-life Premier League football with ease and given his Geordie roots, could be future captain material in the centre of your engine room.

Ashley Phillips (Tottenham)

Tottenham centre-back Ashley Phillips, 18, earned his Spurs move in the summer after making a handful of senior appearances for Blackburn in the Championship last term.

With a lack of cover behind first-choice pairing Cristian Romero and Mickey van de Ven exposed in real life, developing Phillips should be a priority for any Lilywhites bosses out there.

Deivid Washington (Chelsea)

Having a prolific striker is key to any successful Football Manager save and 18-year-old Deivid Washington looks like one of the best future goalscorers among Premier League clubs.

Whether the Brazilian teen ever gets a chance with the Blues in real life remains to be seen but he could be the answer in your quest to end the long-standing No9 issue in West London.
