Crazy Tip to Get Wonderkids First

  • I give a lot of sound advice on how to sign really good players on Football Manager. This is the scouting equivalent of crossing over to the dark side. To say this is ‘taking a chance’ on FM would be accurate, but it is also how I’ve added multiple wonderkids to my team at Oriental Dragon that I would not have been able to add otherwise. The types of players that have transformed our team.
    Please, please, I am begging you to use this only when necessary. If you do this every time, you can talk yourself into spending more and more money on ‘wonderkids’ before the scouting is done. Then it’s not a wonderkid and you don’t have any money. So, you have to use this only when the value is really good. Like, really, REALLY good by any Football Manager standard. Discipline and decisiveness will take you a long way trying to wield this FM black magic.
    Much Love,
    FM Senpai

    Took a gamble on a Nigerian striker/RW who had struggled to score in the Vanarama National yet was only 17 and fulfilled the 5 star potential potential (if you will) criteria, bought him from Dulwich Hamlet for merely £10k.
    Made a few bench appearances for me and never set the world alight during the end of my L2 campaign, yet wound up starting up front for the first 2 L1 games due to a pre season injury crisis.
    Maxwell Ezeh, now 22, has averaged a 7 and over 40 goals a season in every season running, before finally dropping to 17 goals last season in the Premier league (however, the quality of defence of course shot up and he had a L1 level midfield behind him: hes now back at a goal a game now I've made some signings to improve the rest of the squad)

      I've had two in my Bradford City save fitting the criteria. The first being Harry Farley from Tranmere in the first season so he's as real as real can get. The surprise was I expected my 150K investment to be a good L1 and Championship striker who'd fade down the stretch. He scored 20 Premier League goals in the first season and a few other transfers made for a fight for 3rd in the standings after being promoted.
      The second being from North Ireland in Cathair Tumilty, an Armagh based free transfer with a 13K signing fee at winger. The media descriptors at least gave me more warning than with Harry of his talent ceiling, but playing for Armagh with a 7.72 rating for a season meant he was far better and probably far more expensive than the semi-pro club was willing to pay. Given the star rating for the Premier League, his ceiling would be the best Northern Irish player this side of George Best.

    Timing in FM is really everything, I had a player called Amankona, a 2* current 5* potential player that never really played for me, in his last year of contract I lost my mezzala for 5 months because of an injury and I played him, ended up scoring 11 goals and 6 assists and I offered him a new contract, he ended up choosing Mönchengladbach for about double the money I offered him. As soon as he signed the pre-contract to them, he went from a 2* to a 4*, so I lost one of the best midfielders in the world because everything aligned for him to leave

    @ronenson1023 3 года назад +4

    My super dark art trick is that if you can sign someone on a free/pre-contract, your DOF and their agent will have suggested squad statuses when you approach to sign them. If their agent wants squad status but your DOF wants future prospect, that's a pass. But if both want important player, I usually sign the person, even with 0% knowledge, if it's an 18 year old. Also asking agents about availability is a welcome addition to this year's game but almost functions like an instant scout, if you're willing to trust the agent's assessment, and seems a bit cheesy almost.

    11:10, agreed. I remember you saying (maybe on a Save your Save video) "ask yourself, will this guy win you the CL in the next few years? No? Then don't buy him"
    As someone doing a similar BATE save (in Finland), this is crucial - if you sign big wonderkids, be ruthless. A 3* potential player won't win you the CL, especially if your squad is growing in quality too.
    NB. Don't buy a player if you're expecting to sell them for a small profit either - I steer clear of MFRCs because if I sign a player for $25m, and I can expect to sell them for $30m, it just isn't worth the hassle. As Zealand says, hit big.

Now at aged 20 after 3 full seasons in Ligue 1 and hitting 20+ league goals a year he is now worth over £40 million. He's now my #1 Striker and turned into a Wonderkid and helped me get into the Champion's League.

    I do this all the time. Many busts obviously. but also some players that were loaned out for years, never made an impact and finally sold for a fortune. Impact players from this strategy for me were mostly defenders and a goalkeeper. My offense can score and the young guys at the back develop.
    Once I went fast on an 18yr Belgian wonderkid. Popped up, 19.5mil, never seen before, looked good. Took a shot, played every game. When I sold him, I checked: 199 CA, 200 PA. Then there was sadness, and a lot of cash.
    Quick decisions and being early can really pay off.

    I always feel like I need to do more when playing FM, then Zealand makes a video doing something I have been doing that I picked up myself. I set scouts out to find only the highest potential youth players around the world and there is nothing better than seeing "compensation - £XYk".
    In my current Wolfsburg save I've been picking up a lot of these deals and filling out the U19s squad and B team. Even when they come in with 3-4 potential I'm okay with it because invariably they have cost below 1mil and I know there is profit in them.
    The biggest success I've had is picking up a Dutch wonderkid from Ajax aged 15 for £1.1mil. He's yet to turn 17 but he has some great attributes already, and is a very technical CM/Winger. Another is Jose Quiroga a CM/CAM from Argentina who cost me £675k and is (after a 6 month loan) pushing to be a starter for me after selling my AP to Hertha for £70mil (£60mil profit from 2 years earlier, after Barca listed him)

    Hi Z! Watched your videos and applying some of your advice combined with some of my ideas I ended up in 5 years with a team full of super talented young players. After demolishing my league, just failed to win 5 in a row (3d, 2L) and I'm a bit stuck about what i wanna do with 'my future'.
    I've got 4 Wonderkids in DEF alone one of them being a frebie (Aidan Gamede - South African - Free). I have Dillon Googewerf from MU for Free which developed slow but now he's in a good position. Bohuslav Vala - Czech 57k, Gabor Szabo ST/MR/AM(RC) - 250k, Irineu - DM/MC(R) - 1.5m, Guy Linganzi - DC/WBL/DM 63k.
    I've sold a lot of players after first 2 seasons as I had no power to keep them and also needed some cash.
    Dragos Albu - came free, sold for 9.75m (this is a hidden gem in FM21 - amazing DLP/Segundo Volante
    Caue Santos - came free, sold for 5.25m
    Anis Kasesem - bought for 24k, sold for 4.1m
    Vitinho - free, sold for 3.5m
    Daniel Labila - bought for 13.75k sold for 3m
    Radu Dragusin - free from Juventus, sold for 2.7m
    Danilo Batista - came free, sold for 2.5m
    Andrei Ratiu - came free, sold for 1.5m
    Costinel Tofan - free, sold for 1.5m
    Alex Pascanu - bought 62k, sold 875k
    I have 15 pretty decent scouts and 15 decent coaches + all other personnel. Finances are good - 50.5m balance and 16.1m transfer budget left.
    Not sure where to go from here. I'd continue making money or move to a bigger club but I feel more of trying to get a major EU trophy with Dinamo Bucuresti after I got them from a very bad spot.
    I think my first 11 + substitutes age avg is around 20 yrs old in the Romanian First League. What do I need to take these kids to next level? :-)

If I see that they’re wanted by fairly reputable teams and even have a shot at being high potential, I’ll attempt to snag them for a bargain price. Worst comes to worse, I loan them out a few seasons, increase their value, then sell them on for a decent price with a guaranteed percentage of their next transfer. Best case scenario, I get a great player for cheap that eventually becomes a Homegrown.

Loaning clubs usually pay the players wages in full, sometimes even add a loan fee, give game time to those players and develop them. This sees their attributes and their market value improve (exceptions obviously happen). Once a loan deal has ended, there are three options: the player is loaned out once again, the player is good enough to play in your first team or he gets sold (pretty much always for a significant profit). This way your club earns money from sales and loan fees as well as getting the odd (world class) first team player without paying a significant fee for him (because you got him early). :)

    When I played as Lyon every season I would get so many blind buys I had to stop myself. Now that I play in the Premier League there's a 6 U21 cap per season so it doesn't work anymore. Does make the game a little more fun, not having a ready-made wonderkid to replace every player you sell.

    I use dortmund and have signed loads of youngsters with 5 stars potential, but it always comes down to either :
    1. psg or man city snatching them for 70m-110m€ after their first season performing well in the first team (i don’t mind this but i always end up 100m-ish€ that i don’t know how to spend wisely and end up buying more 5 stars potential)
    2. I lost track of them and when they are first team ready they’re now 3 stars ability and only 3 stars potential (i still don’t get how this stars thingy compared to the team works)

      What Koen said, in fact if you are the best club in the world it's actually better to be doing it more and just loaning the kids out as you stop your competition getting them and make big bucks in case you do need to buy any players from them as you can sell your loan army. For the most part if your doing it you'll catch the best stars but if there is an odd one you've not seen you can sell a few and buy them.
