With transfers, new ratings and new wonderkids - it's the biggest update of the season on FM21!
The Best Wonderkid Strikers in FM21
Let's run you through all the best wonderkid strikers in FM21.
Wonderkids in FM are aged 19 or younger when you start a save (July 2020) and in this instance, their natural position is a striker.
High current ability (CA) is nice, but we are looking for the biggest potential ability (PA) possible. You can see a player's CA & PA in the FM21 Editor
Most teenagers in FM21 will have a PA range, which means they won't always hit their peak potential. How you develop their talents will play a big part in their ability to reach that ceiling.
Yousouffa Moukoko (CA 115 - PA 170-200)
Age: 15
Club: Borussia Dortmund
Best attributes: 15 finishing, 15 first touch, 15 agility
Value: £1.1 million
Wage: £6,000 a week
Perhaps the best wonderkid in FM history, Yousouffa Moukoko is simply a must-buy in FM21.
The Dortmund starlet may only have a handful of games in senior football, but you must do anything you can to bring him to your club.
Mason Greenwood (CA 140 - PA 172)
Age: 18
Club: Manchester United
Best attributes: 17 pace, 16 finishing, 16 acceleration
Value: £30 million
Wage: £25,000 a week
He was one of the top 10 wonderkid strikers on FM20, and he remains in the list on FM21.
The Manchester United man is valued at around £30M - significantly cheaper than the likes of Mbappe and Haaland, and is comfortable playing on the right wing.
Myron Boadu (CA 141 - PA 150-180)
Age: 19
Club: AZ Alkmaar
Best attributes: 17 acceleration, 15 pace, 14 anticipation
Value: £7.8 million
Wage: £9,250 a week
Another teenager worth looking at to lead the line is AZ Alkmaar forward Myron Boadu.
The 19-year-old is significantly cheaper than Greenwood, with some impressive physical stats such as 17 acceleration and 16 pace, you should be able to sign him for around £40 million.
Jamal Musiala (CA 126 - PA 150-180)
Age: 17
Club: Bayern Munich II
Best attributes: 14 dribbling, 14 movement, 14 acceleration
Value: £3.1 million
Wage: £800 a week
Bayern has developed some serious talent over the years, with Jamal Musiala in line to be next.
Whether you opt to take charge of the German giants and bring Musiala through the ranks, or if you're going to pick him up at another club, the youngster will be full value for the game time.
Joao Pedro (CA 124 - PA 150-180)
Age: 18
Club: Watford
Best attributes: 14 anticipation, 14 acceleration, 14 dribbling
Value: £6.3 million
Wage: £20,000 a week
There's a big affinity between FM and Watford, but there is more to it than meets the eye.
Brazilian teenager Joao Pedro is one of the brightest young talents you can go after to lead your line in FM21. With a PA of 150-180, you may need to pay as much as £30 million to secure him.
Karim Adeyemi (CA 120 - PA 150-180)
Age: 18
Club: RB Leipzig
Best attributes: 16 acceleration, 16 pace, 16 determination
Value: £1.1 million
Wage: £7,000 a week
If you're after a lightning fast striker to leave centre backs in their wake, then take a look at Karim Adeyemi.
The German has raw pace and has the potential to take his game to the next level with a PA of 150-180.
Fabio Silva (CA 115 - PA 150-180)
Age: 18
Club: Wolves
Best attributes: 15 determination, 14 composure, 14 consistency
Value: £1.1 million
Wage: £7,000 a week
Fabio Silva arrived at Wolves last summer as one of the wonderkids to watch, but despite an injury to first-choice striker Raul Jimenez, the Portuguese has struggled.
Aged 18, there's still time for the U19 international to show his worth, with perhaps a loan move required to get the youngster firing.
Fernando Nino (CA 127 - PA 140-170)
Age: 19
Club: Villarreal
Best attributes: 16 finishing, 14 movement, 14 heading
Value: £1.1 million
Wage: £7,000 a week
With less than 30 professional appearances to his name, it's been a fantastic start to Fer Nino's career.
The teenage forward already has 10 goals for Villarreal and will be pushing for a starting spot next term.
Kaio Jorge (CA 127 - PA 140-170)
Age: 18
Club: SAN (Santos)
Best attributes: 14 finishing, 14 work rate, 14 team work
Value: £1.1 million
Wage: £3,000 a week
Pele, Neymar, Robinho - Santos has some production line - could Kaio Jorge be next?
The young forward has over 50 appearances for the club, but with just nine goals, he needs to refine his ability in the box.
Eddie Salcedo (CA 22 - PA 140-170)
Age: 18
Club: Hellas Verona (on loan from Inter Milan)
Best attributes: 15 flair, 14 anticipation, 14 determination
Value: £1.1 million
Wage: £5,000 a week
Clearly sought after, Eddie Salcedo swapped Genoa for Inter Milan in 2018 after just three senior appearances.
For the last two seasons, he's been on loan at Hellas Verona but with just two goals in 20 appearances - he's another man who needs to be more composed in the area.
