FM24 Wonderkid XI Tactics & Players

GK – Anatoli Trubin (Benfica)/Lucas Chevalier (Lille)

Some goalkeepers turn out better but their potential tends to fluctuate from save to save depending on their environment and game time. For a more certain future in goals the best option is Benfica’s Anatoli Trubin who starts well and has great potential.

For a cheaper option, Lille’s Chevalier will cost a lot less but needs more time to reach his peak and will peak at a lower ceiling than Trubin.

LB – Alejandro Balde (Barcelona)/Valentin Barco (Boca Juniors)

Balde is one of the best young left backs in the world and is the latest in a long line of strong Barcelona youth products. His development curve in FM24 is huge and he will improve to the level of the best LBs in the game. The only issue might be his price tag so you either have to play as Barcelona or create a club and get him on hand if you want to pick him up.

Barco is a cheaper option who is gaining some real-world attention for his performances in Argentina.

CB – Giorgio Scalvini (Atalanta)/Levi Colwill (Chelsea)

These are two young CBs who have been FM monsters already. Scalvini was one of the elite CBs to sign in last year’s game and remains so in this year’s edition. He and Colwill are sure to be an expensive defensive pairing but they will undoubtedly form an iron wall in front of your goalkeeper.

There aren’t many cheap wonderkid CBs to pick from as alternatives but I would recommend Flavien-Enzo Boyomo, Maxime Esteve, Amidou Doumbouya, or Jaime Vazquez as other choices.
