9 Brazilian wonderkids you should sign on Football Manager 2022

Brazil is arguably the world’s finest country when it comes to producing top young talent, and Football Manager fans know that it is the best place to look when scouting out wonderkids for your team.

Moneyball aficionados know that there’s no value in signing big names for the team you’re trying to take to the top, but young players with high potential are the ones to target to eventually help fire you to glory before making a healthy profit when Real Madrid come calling.

Whether you’re looking for a loan deal to boost your promotion push, or a long-term investment to get Burnley playing like Barcelona, wonderkids between 17 and 20 years old are ideal for squad building. Should you obtain a work permit, Brazil is the number one destination for your chief scout to spend a summer.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the best Brazilian wonderkids on FM 2022. We’ve kept it to those who could be available to sign when you don’t have an unlimited budget, so the likes of Vinicius Junior and Gabriel Martinelli have been omitted.

The Manchester City youngster is already on a £25,000 weekly wage, making him a borderline selection, but the 18-year-old winger is available and financially viable if you’re managing a top-flight side.

Don’t let a potential £20million fee with add-ons put you off, Kayky’s value will easily double in a short amount of time, and a healthy profit can be turned.

A left-footed right-winger, Kayky suits an inverted winger role perfectly, and anyone wanting to add a bit of samba flair to their team should look no further.

He’s not bad in reality either…
