This is especially true if you find yourself a bargain. Cheap wonderkids in Football Manager 24 are like gold dust. Every club wants them, so you want to get in there and sign them up as soon as possible.

Listen to our One More Life gaming podcast - the new episode is about FM!

The cheap young players with high potential are worthwhile investments because they can improve your squad for the foreseeable seasons and beyond. If they don't work out, you should be able to sell on to another club for a profit.

Of course, there are also the wonderkids you know and love that are tearing up their real life leagues right now. A certain Jude Bellingham springs to mind. These players will set you back a pretty penny or two, so you need to budget accordingly to bring them in.

There are lots to choose from, though, from strikers to goalkeepers, and you'll need to be quick because other clubs are looking to snatch them up too.

Here are the best FM 24 wonderkids in all positions and the best cheap wonderkids to sign.
