Defining Wonderkids
Wonderkids are youngsters between the ages of 15 and 19 that possess a potential ability rating of over 150.
A potential ability rating is a pre-determined number that indicates the player’s skill level, with some stars like Pedri having variable ability ranges, and other stars carrying a high-value cap.
The in-game and pre-game editor gives us an insight into the CA (Current Ability) and PA (Potential Ability) behind each player, as these stats aren’t commonly known unless you look for them.
For those of you that enjoy long-haul saves in Football Manager, you’ll soon find out that wonderkid scouting will become a key element of your success.
