FM24 defensive midfield wonderkids

Wonderkids are young footballers with exceptional talent, typically 19 years old or younger. They are rated on a scale of 1-200 based on their current ability (CA) and potential ability (PA).

It's good to know that while a player's current ability can change throughout their career, their potential ability is fixed at the time of creation and represents their maximum possible ability.

Check out the list of wonderkid defensive midfielders in Football Manager 2024 that we have compiled for you.

Warren Zaïre-Emery

PA Range: 160-190

Warren Zaïre-Emery, who also featured on the Football Manager 2024 French wonderkids list, is already regular at PSG despite being just 17 years old.

Zaïre-Emery can be equally good at both DM and MC positions thanks to these fantastic attributes: first touch (15), passing (14), technique (14), decisions (14), determination (16), positioning (14), teamwork (15), and work rate (15).

Stefan Bajčetić

PA Range: 150-180

Stefan Bajčetić is natural at three positions: DC, DM, and MC. However, the DM position is the best suited for him, because of his combative nature and solid work rate.

Bajčetić’s top attributes include first touch (14), tackling (14), technique (14), composure (14), determination (15), teamwork (15), acceleration (14), and agility (14).

Roméo Lavia

PA Range: 150-180

Roméo Lavia’s big-money move from Southampton to Chelsea could hamper his development as there is much stiffer competition at Stamford Bridge.

Still, Lavia has the best mental attributes of all the players on this list. Not a single attribute below 12: aggression (15), anticipation (14), determination (16), flair (14), positioning (14), teamwork (16), vision (14), and work rate (16).

Alex Scott

PA Range: 150-180

Alex Scott joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023. He will undoubtedly become one of the leading defensive midfielders in the Premier League in the next few years.

We mentioned Lavia’s mental traits, but Scott is not far away. He possesses great mental attributes, such as anticipation (14), composure (15), determination (18), flair (15), off the ball (15), teamwork (14), vision (14), and work rate (15).

Carlos Baleba

PA Range: 150-180

Brighton’s scouting team discovered another jewel. This time around, it was the Cameroonian Carlos Baleba, who came from Lille in 2023.

This left-footed is excellent in both attack and defence, which is one of the reasons he made it to the Football Manager 2024 wonderkid defensive midfielders list. Baleba has solid first touch (14), passing (14), tackling (15), determination (15), agility (14), natural fitness (14), stamina (14), and strength (14).
