What is a Wonderkid?
The term 'wonderkid' is used to describe a young footballer who has the potential to mature into a top-tier or world-class star.
In the world of Football Manager, wonderkids can be identified by compiling scouting and coaching reports to discern an individual's current and potential skill levels.
Being labeled a prodigy is not a clear indicator of future success. Managers need to nurture young players appropriately to get the best out of them.
