Football Manager 2023 Wonderkids
The very best FM23 Wonderkids, once complete will feature over 300 prospects all sorted by their Potential Ability.
Are you looking for the best Wonderkid striker with the highest potential, maybe the best young centre-backs with a PA of over 160, this is the place for you.
In the navigation bar, you can enter the position you are looking for within the PA range, and help locate the best FM23 wingers, or wonderkid playmakers.
If you want to see how this list might look further down the line, check out our very popular FM22 Wonderkid list.
What is a Wonderkid?
We classify ‘Wonderkids’ as high potential prospects under the age of 21. Some FM23 Wonderkids have a flexible potential meaning their Potential Ability (PA) can vary from save to save and this is usually the case for younger players.
All of our FM23 wonderkids will have a flexible potential between 140 and 200 (the highest in the game), or a fixed potential of over 150. We will have a separate list for Cheap FM23 Wonderkids, so you don’t miss out when managing down in the lower leagues.
To view all players we recommend loading a large database with England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Brazil listed as playable.

Best Football Manager 2023 Wonderkids
These tables will be done slightly different to what you are normally used to. This will not be listed by position, but by POTENTIAL (PA).
There are two types of potential. Fixed or Flexible. We’ll kick things off with the Potential Ability. When you load your save, each of these players will be assigned a number in this range. 170-200, 160-190 etc. Each save will look differently.
