Football Manager is a game series that I have written about a couple of times previously but one aspect that I have never discussed is people’s obsession with wunderkinds. Wonderkids are newly generated players with the potential to go on to become world beaters. The hunt is always on for these players and they can often be very difficult to discover. You need scouts everywhere, you need to be able to trust that the judgement of your scouts is good enough to identify these players and not just lame ducks who show flashes of potential.
There is, thankfully, a third party program that allows players to scour the database looking for players with high levels of potential and signing them in their games. It’s a cheat, maybe, or maybe a little way to dodge the systems. These players, though, still need signing, still need training and still need the right guidance and coaching to make them the best players they can be.
