It would prove to be a highlight of a very brief career in reality. In the early versions of Football Manager, he was a real menace to society year-in, year-out, regularly topping the scoring charts and single-handedly carrying teams to Champions League glory. Unfortunately for Kerlon, his genius would be the cause of his downfall.

With thousands upon thousands of talented youngsters featured every year in the FM databases, this list could conceivably go on forever.

Release and New Features Football Manager’s 2008 edition would initially be released in October of 2007, there were, unfortunately, a number of bugs and issues with the first release, however. Don't remember how they were in FM08 though. He joined Monaco from Anderlecht in 2018 before moving to the Premier League with Leicester City where he has been a real success, turning his loan deal permanent in the summer of 2019. Championship Manager and Football Manager have correctly predicted the future success of several superstars over the years – but not every player has lived up to their potential.

Tipped to become the next Neymar by many, his 2016 move to Inter promised much but delivered sadly little – one goal and three loans, to be precise.

Ranked as one of the world’s most exciting teenagers by World Soccer in 2007 and still a wonderkid in FM09, plenty who saw Carlos Vela in close quarters would agree the Football Manager scouts were absolutely right in their assessment.

I have marcelo, sakho, saviet and the feyenord youngster. In real life, however, he only made 51 appearances throughout his career after leaving Brazil in 2008. Does Football Manager Have a Future as an eSport? His latest loan spell, at Lecce, has brought two goals from 13 appearances at the time of writing. Hi all, im playing fm08 and trying to remember all the wonderkids there is that you can buy if you can all help me. Available to sign for around £1million as an 18-year-old at Anderlecht in FM07, Vanden Borre was guaranteed to become the best right-back in the game, but his biggest claim to fame in reality is probably being the player Chris Kamara didn’t realise had been sent off when commentating on a game in 2008. It would prove to be the catalyst for major change, an extended stay in The Priory Clinic for Addiction and removal from the public eye did Johnson the world of good. A beta patch was released two weeks later which fixed a majority of the larger bugs, but the […] Can anyone remember anymore, ... Football Manager General Discussion ; 2008 wonderkids I have marcelo, sakho, saviet and the feyenord youngster.

pic.twitter.com/vFT8Ww3Ryh, — The Blue Prophet (@TheBlueProphet) December 9, 2017. There are a number of players who are listed as wonderkids in the game but they go on to have mediocre careers. YouTube was in its infancy in 2007, it wasn’t commonplace for videos to have millions of hits and outside of the latest music videos, few would even break 250k mark. The reality is a rather sad story, Johnson would struggle both mentally and physically to maintain the successes of his first full senior year. Wonderkid is the word that increases your heartbeat whenever it shows up next to one of your youth prospects, a player with the capability to become a Ballon d’Or winner provided you groom him properly.

Domestic success was few and far between but it did include a career-high finish of 3rd in the league and 2 FA Cups.

plz if you no who to get? The Portugal international has now established himself as a Premier League talent with Wolves, and he’s still regularly scoring blooters. As it turns out, regularly scoring thirty-plus goals in the game doesn’t necessarily translate into greatness in real life.

Not that he has any regrets. He was labelled as ‘the next Pelé’ after starting his professional career at the age of 14, scoring four times at the 2003 U17 World Championship. Casual observers might assume the fact he is now at Wolves in real life means the Football Manager scouts got it wrong, but that isn’t necessarily the case.

Fati overtook Messi and Bojan Krkic to become Barcelona’s youngest ever goalscorer in La Liga, and he is also the youngest ever goalscorer in the Champions League. Unfortunately, the Mexican only showed flashes of his ability after getting his big move to Arsenal and has gone on to have a career which has been good but certainly not as good as was hoped. Injuries have very often made or broke the very best players in the world and mental illness is a tougher beast to tame, unfortunately, both got the better of a player who could have won the lot. Still just 23, he’s now looking to rekindle his career back in Brazil at Flamengo. He was playing for Portsmouth that day and in 2017 signed for Congolese side TP Mazembe after reversing his decision to retire aged 29. He would win The FA Cup and Premier League, receive 3 nominations as PFA Young Player and Players Player of The Season as well as captain the side on several occasions, a great honour for someone so young.

Another wonderkid who failed to live up to the billing again no fault of his own.

In 2017, it was a certain Gabriel Barbosa, also known as ‘Gabigol’, that had fans excited. What if Kerlon hadn’t invented the seal dribble and resulting crippling injuries, what if Johnson had the mental strength to cope and recover from his physical injuries, it’s likely they would have cemented the careers, in reality, they’d successfully managed in the virtual world.

However, rather than move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs as Football Manager fans might have expected, Fierro remained in Mexico, joining Cruz Azul.

Did they have the careers predicted for them?

The move to Inter would come with conditions, Kerlon would spend the first year on-loan to Chievo as Inter had already filled their Non-EU quota. Given Real Madrid signed Martin Odegaard as a 16-year-old in 2015, it’s fair to say the Football Manager scouts weren’t the only ones who saw the Norwegian’s potential.

Wijnaldium whatever the clowns name is hes pretty good. Johnson first grabbed my attention in real life when scoring an absolute screamer for City vs Derby County, ending a run of home games in which the whole team failed to score.

The virtual Michael Johnson initially started his career on-loan at my Reading FC side, aiding in the success of their inaugural Premier League season. Championship Manager and Football Manager have correctly predicted the future success of several superstars over the years – but not every player has lived up to their potential.

The Seal Dribble or “drible da foquinha” was a wonder to behold, Kerlon would flick the ball up into the air, delicately balance the ball on his head and run full steam ahead, leaving opposition players with only two choices, be beaten or chop Kerlon down and concede a freekick.

“It’s just the expectation that was put on me that it looks like a failed career, but I played in the Championship, I played in Spain, how many people can say that?” he told us on The Broken Metatarsal podcast. A beta patch was released two weeks later which fixed a majority of the larger bugs, but the game would not be a totally seamless experience until the February update.

New features would include an overhauled Finance System, FaceGen for Re-Gen players, Improved Match Engine and the addition of All-Time Best Elevens, giving you the ability to track the careers of the players that achieved legendary status and perhaps moved on. fergie83, January 24, 2011 in Football Manager General Discussion. Beginning his career at Cruzeiro, Kerlon would make 75 league appearances in 3 years and secure the u17 World Cup Golden Boot, before Europe came calling. He has been gradually improving year-on-year, enjoying a productive loan spell at Heerenveen in 2018-19 before getting his first chance in La Liga with Real Sociedad and grabbing it with both hands. Despite this, the game still went Platinum selling over 300,000 copies worldwide and to great acclaim from the Football Manager community.

A goalscoring machine in both FM13 and FM14, Carlos Fierro made his first transfer in real life at the end of 2017. READ: The nine stages of Freddy Adu’s career: From wonderkid to wanderer. One of several players on this list who was rated as a wonderkid across several games, literally every FM nut will have signed Vanden Borre at some point. We’re focusing on the Football Manager era of 2005 onwards, but we have to start with the ultimate Championship Manager wonderkid. Sprinkled with occasional successes, but mostly with regret and a lot of “what-ifs?”, serving as a great reminder for both current upcoming talents, and those ready to tout them as the next big thing. After making his first-team debut for Barcelona at 16, Ansu Fati was being talked up as the heir to Lionel Messi.

The shine of The Golden Generation had well and truly worn off, two bore draws with Macedonia and Israel and defeats to Croatia early in 2007 led to calls for Steve McLaren sacking and a shot in the arm for the Senior Side. Who remembers Kerlon? Initially, he would turn down a move to Manchester United and stay in Brazil for another year, before super agent Mino Raiola purchased 80% of his rights for $1.3m and move to Inter Milan was finalised.

Falcao, Ochoa and Matias Fernandez were wonderkids in FM07. Kerlon would invent a skill so audacious it would command a viewership of millions and he would remain the only player in the world to perform the skill regularly in the game.

A recurring abdominal injury would end his run in the first team and between 2008 and his eventual release in 2012, Johnson would make just four first-team appearances. Wonderkid is the word that increases your heartbeat whenever it shows up next to one of your youth prospects, a player with the capability to become a Ballon d’Or winner provided you groom him properly.

Henri Saivet was like the second coming for FM08 fans, but Newcastle’s raid for the midfielder in 2016 has not yet reaped dividends. A journeyman career would follow in Japan, USA, Slovakia and back home in Brazil before retiring aged 29. Michael Johnson had the world at his feet in 2007 making his way through the Manchester City Academy via Leeds, Excelsior and Everton aged 16 and graduate quickly to the Senior side at 18 years old.

It would be the beginning of a 12 season stint, in which Johnson would become club captain in his 3rd year and make the team tick.

i have done 6months for arsenal, got a wonderkid Sao-Paulo defender Breno for 6.5mil, will turn out well, also any 1 know any other wonderkids, as still at start of game, any would help???? If you were willing to be patient in FM10, you could sign Khouma Babacar as a 16-year-old from Fiorentina and eventually end up with the world’s best striker. In the game, Cherno Samba was your go-to striker if you wanted guaranteed success.

We’re talking about 60+ goals per season. saunier was alright in 08 he was a right back for bordeaux, macauley chrisanthus maybe, toni kroos, adrian, sunny there ones that i think were wonderkids but my memory's foggy, first two might not be wonderkids as such, but extremly good value. The Spaniard has already made 24 appearances in his debut season and looks set for a bright future at the Camp Nou.
