Today we’ve got a list of the 10 FM 2020 cheap wonderkids with a release clause. All under-18 and selected using the Winter Update! The majority fall within the following criteria:

• Under 18 years old
• Minimum fee release clause under £15m (one exception)
• Over 130 potential ability

Many of these players are already good enough to feature at a high level, with current abilities ranging from the high 90s to the low 120s. The players included are mostly from either Spain or South America due to the compulsory and/or common practices of including minimum fee release clauses in player contracts in these regions.

FM 2020 Cheap Wonderkids

10. Róber | 18 y/o | AMR | £1 million release clause | PA: -85 (140-170)

Róber is a gifted Spanish right winger with very good potential and a release clause of about £1 million, a steal! He doesn’t have any pre-set attributes so he ends up being quite a different player from save to save but he’s still guaranteed to be a good winger for you so definitely send a scout after him ASAP!

9. Aimar Oroz | 17 y/0 | MC | £5.75 million release clause | PA: -85 (140-170)

Aimar Oroz is a very intelligent Football Manager 2020 wonderkid, with good decisions, vision, and determination. His release clause should be around £5.75 million which is a very good deal for someone with his potential range!

8. Ismael Casas | 18 y/0 | DR | £2.8 million release clause | PA: 143

Ismael Casas is a fairly well-rounded right back with good crossing ability and solid potential. With a release clause of just £2.8 million you’re sure to make a profit on him if you’ve got the money to invest!

7. Pelayo Morilla | 18 y/0 | ML/AML/AMC | £4.9 million release clause | PA: -85 (140-170)

Pelayo Morilla is a versatile winger who may actually be best through the middle due to his lack of pace. He’s very well-rounded and could potentially even be retrained as a central midfielder because of this. With a release clause of about £4.9 million I’d definitely snap him up!

Top 3-6 FM 2020 Cheap Wonderkids

6. Bruno Gomes | 18 y/0 | DM | £4.9 million release clause | PA: -8 (130-160)

Bruno Gomes is a solid defensive midfielder currently playing in Brazil for Vasco da Gama. He made 9 first team appearances this season in real life, earning himself a current ability of 102 and a solid potential range of 130-160. Due to his well-roundedness, I’d imagine he could fill in anywhere in your midfield comfortably. His release clause isn’t bad either!

5. Tomás Esteves | 18 y/0 | DR | £8.5 million release clause | PA: -8 (130-160)

Tomás Esteves is a gifted passer of the ball, perhaps enough to even retrain as a central midfielder down the road. However, his impressive pace means he is highly effective as a right back and with a potential of 130-160, you can be sure you’re getting a solid deal for his relatively steep £8.5 million release clause.

4. Ismael Gutiérrez | 18 y/0 | MC | £1.9 million release clause | PA: -8 (130-160)

Ismael Gutiérrez is a very technically gifted central midfielder, with great vision, passing, and technique attributes. He’s got a decent potential range of 130-160 and for just £1.9 million I’d say he’d be an intelligent signing.

Top 3 FM 2020 Cheap Wonderkids

3. Víctor Mollejo | 18 y/0 | AML/ST | £6 million release clause | PA: -8 (130-160)

Víctor Mollejo has made an abundance of appearances for Deportive de La Coruña this season, featuring 26 times and scoring 5 goals in that period. He also managed to grab an assist and earn himself a current ability of 120 with a potential range of 130-160. With a release clause of £6 million, I’d definitely check him out if you’ve got the money.

2. Thiago Almada | 18 y/0 | AMC | £16.25 million release clause | PA: -9 (150-180)

Thiago Almada is the most expensive player on this list, for good reason. At just 18 years old he’s already made 42 first team appearances for Vélez Sarsfield, mostly as an attacking midfielder. He can also fill in on the wings but he likely won’t be as effective there due to his slight lack of pace. With a release clause of £16.25 million he could make a great addition to your team if you can afford him.

1. Facundo Pellistri | 17 y/0 | AMC | £11.75 million release clause | PA: -85 (140-170)

And finally coming in at number 1, Facundo Pellistri! Pellistri has already made 25 first team appearances for Peñarol in real life and has earned a very impressive current ability of 123, making him good enough to make an impact in the Premier League or an equivalent level divison. With a potential range of 140-170, I reckon Pellistri is worth the £11.75 million price tag.
