How often do you look at your youth intake in Football Manager and can’t quite make up your mind on how to develop or what position to develop your Ultimate FM21 Wonderkid?
We took a wonderkid newgen in FM 2021 and developed him three ways over eight separate seasons.
The 15-year-old started as a centre-back who could also play as a defensive midfielder. In the first simulation, we didn’t do anything fancy and tried to see if we could max out his 194 Potential Ability as a centre back.
In the second run, we tried to take his natural role through the centre of the midfield and turn him into a deep-lying playmaker. The results were interesting. Over the eight seasons, this is the highest his Current Ability rose, but the performances on the pitch didn’t match.
Then, based on what we had seen in the first two tests, we tried something very different for the third. We made him world-class in a position he was never supposed to play.

Does it matter what position the player shows in the youth intake? Or can you turn your wonderkids into anything you want, as long as they have the Potential Ability.
