Getting Football Manager For Christmas? The Top 15 Wonderkids You Need To Buy

Are you ready to lock yourself in the comfort of your bedroom to start a potentially ground-breaking save on Football Manager this Christmas?

Your friends and family will no longer exist for about two weeks. The journey to find that new 'wonderkid' everybody is raving about starts now.

You can nurture him into one of the world's best with a touch of managerial class.

This lad is going to become a top, top player, as Merse would say, and the trophies will start to flood in. You will become a club legend and this 18-year-old star will carry you on his shoulders.

Well, that's what I've envisaged for the past four weeks. Don't let me down, Football Manager 2018.

Just weeks after the Football Manager 2018 release, I've put together a list of players who have the potential to lead your team to glory this Christmas time.

You might be looking for a 30+ goals per season striker, we've got what you need right here. Or perhaps you require a world class goalkeeper to stop absolutely everything in his wake. Again, we've got your back.

Sit back and take note - here are the top 15 wonderkids on FM, this year:
