FM27 Wonderkids
Wonderkid lists are the first thing a new Football Manager database attracts, and they are also the first thing that goes stale. FM Scout updated an FM 2027 list on 29 October 2026 and described the ratings as a quick draft. Single source: FM Scout. We do not claim a verified total player count; the list is provisional and covers players no older than 20 at its stated July 2026 cutoff.
The top of that draft, as they printed it: Max Dowman, 16, Arsenal, 94. Rio Ngumoha, 17, Liverpool, 92. Estêvão, 19, Chelsea, 92. Franco Mastantuono, 18, Real Madrid, 92. Ayyoub Bouaddi, 18, Manchester City, 91. Luka Vušković, 19, Brighton, 91. Positions in their table are wide and central attacking roles for the first four, a defensive midfielder for Bouaddi, and a centre-back for Vušković.
Those numbers are not Sports Interactive's. They are a community scout's draft during a preview. A database update or a revision by the list author can change the displayed rating; a name fix alone does not establish a new ability rating. If you buy a player only because of a 94, read the budget guide as well: the fee and the wage are different pots.
Searches for wonderkids often still mean FM24 or FM26. This page is only the 2027 draft. Older lists belong on the older-games pages.
