Wonderkids have always been a key part of the Football Manager series. There's nothing more satisfying then uncovering a gem on the game and seeing them flourish.

This year will be no different and with players all around the world getting their teeth struck into the FM20 beta version of the game, here are the 12 most exciting youngsters you need to sign - based on their potential ratings from RealSport101.

12. Hamed Junior Traore

Club: Sassuolo

Country: Ivory Coast

Current ability: 136

Potential ability: 173

The 19-year old midfielder is able to play in a number of positions and could be your first-choice option in the middle of the park for years to come.

11. Nicolo Zaniolo

Club: Roma

Country: Italy

Current ability: 143

Potential ability: 174

If you're looking for an exciting right-sided player who loves to cut in from the left, then Zaniolo is well worth a punt. The 19-year old is already an established player for club and country but still has plenty of room for improvement.

10. Thiago Almada

Club: Velez Sarsfield

Country: Argentina

Current ability: 120

Potential ability: 175

The 18-year old has been linked with a transfer to Premier League champions Manchester City in the past and looks like he could be a bit of a tidy pick up on this year's game.

9. Phil Foden

Club: Manchester City

Country: England

Current ability: 140

Potential ability: 175

Pep Guardiola's prodigy has a starting value of £35 million on the game and will no doubt be worth even more than that if given the right amount of game-time and training off the pitch.

8. Joao Felix

Club: Atletico Madrid

Country: Portugal

Current ability: 149

Potential ability: 179

The second-most expensive teenager in football appears to have all the tools to go to the very top and it looks like FM are inclined to agree given the level he is able to reach on the game.

7. Myron Boadu

Club: AZ Alkmaar

Country: Netherlands

Current ability: 125

Potential ability: 176

Valued at £4.5 million, with wages of £1900 a week on the game, Boadu could well be an absolute steal on your save. His 13 finishing is perhaps not so generous given he's bagged seven goals in eleven Eredivisie games this term but he's definitely one for the future.

6. Reinier

Club: Flamengo

Country: Brazil

Current ability: 110

Potential ability: 176

FM and Brazilian wonderkids are typically a winning combination and one starlet with plenty of promise is 17-year old attacking midfielder Reinier, who is valued at £215,000.

5. Vinicius Junior

Club: Real Madrid

Country: Brazil

Current ability: 144

Potential ability: 178

A Brazilian who is already on the cusp of achieving big things, £22.5 million rated Vinicius Junior already starts out with impressive stats such as 17 dribbling, 17 acceleration, 16 agility, 16 pace, 16 technique, 16 flair and 18 determination on the game.

Don't be surprised if he's in Ballon d'Or contention on your save.

4. Jadon Sancho

Club: Borussia Dortmund

Country: England

Current ability: 150

Potential ability: 178

Sticking with the ready-made talents, Sancho will no doubt be one of the most in-demand players on FM thanks to ratings such as 18 agility, 17 dribbling, 17 acceleration, 17 technique, 16 vision, and 16 flair.

The boy-wonder is valued at £27 million but it's inevitable that his price tag will increase as time goes on.

3. Sergio Gomez

Club: Huesca (on loan from Borussia Dortmund)

Country: Spain

Current ability: 140

Potential ability: 180

He may be playing in the Spanish second division this term but surely he will be playing at a higher level in your FM save. The former Barcelona midfielder is valued at £2.1 million and boasts numbers such as 17 technique, 16 vision, 16 flair, 16 first touch and 14 passing.

2. Callum Hudson-Odoi

Club: Chelsea

Country: England

Current ability: 140

Potential ability: 180

The most promising English youngster on the game, it looks set to be lots of fun to play with both him and Chelsea this year - thanks in part to their transfer ban and subsequent blooding of young players from Frank Lampard.

The 18-year old has 16 acceleration, 15 pace, and 15 dribbling and already has a £25 million price-tag from the off.

1. Ansu Fati

Club: FC Barcelona

Country: Spain

Current ability: 120

Potential ability: 187

So young that Barcelona had to ask his parents' permission for him to make his debut, 16-year old Ansu Fati has been fast-tracked into the Barcelona first-team and became the youngest player in La Liga history to score and assist a goal in the same game.

With 17 agility, 17 flair, 16 acceleration, 15 dribbling, 15 technique and 13 finishing, expect big things of him in FM, where he is valued at just £825,000.
