Eder Alvarez Balanta has to be in part 2. He was an absolute tank at CB from FM 13/14/15

@BourneIdentity45 Год назад

So true there was a good few years where I’d buy him right away in my save

@alextarmus455 Год назад

Amazing CB!

Mika Aaritalo in fm08?

@nicolasgarcia7984 Год назад

Hachim Mastour is also a failed wonderkid, just to add to that list.

@yan40629 Год назад

Ganso had a knee injury in 2010/11 and after that, never was the same player he was at his "peak". One of the biggest what if's here in Brazil is "what if Ganso never had that knee injury?"

@lubomirgenov4346 Год назад

I have signed him a lot on fm2012 he was great, but very injury prone.. it seams fm got that right too

@Minamoto67 Год назад

@@lubomirgenov4346 The Brazilian media still hyped Ganso a lot even knowing of his injury record 10 years ago, but Seedorf spoke in good Portuguese at a local program that he wouldn't make it in Europe unless he ramped up his intensity or if he became more dynamic. The rest of the story we already know.

@charliemorris4641 Год назад

reminds me of Derrick Rose

@dusanterzin8139 Год назад

Ganso"s coach said that Ganso didnt wanted to train much. When Neymar got his kid, Ganso joined him in celebration of babys birth instead of training.

This hit my hard. I saw Freddy adu play live for Philadelphia Union and he was levels above anyone in his team. Also saviet signing for the toon was a disaster, we forgot he was there

@craiggibbons8228 Год назад

I5 seems to be their mentality. They lack a proper stubborn mentality. So when they hit Europe and see the party life and massive money they all suddenly loose motivation, and focus. Not all. But most.

Gabriel Torje

@inforabenny Год назад

I'd have to add Enes Ünal to this list. Has actually gone on to have a decent career in Spain but was an absolute worldbeater on FM14-16

@boney__70 Год назад

if I'm not mistaken...he came from Man City right??

@inforabenny Год назад

@Boney __ they signed him based on the hype but he didn't come through their academy

@zygarPL Год назад

In FM 08 was Marvin Angulo RB, Bogdan Stancu ST, Gabriel Torje RW I think and Pablo Piatti such a shame that they never did more in professional football also Dawid Janczyk was wasted talent. Greetings to all "football managers"😊

@philiusthe3rd213 Год назад

G'wan, give us a part 2. Also, that awkward moment where the 3D for the Fierro goal was as good, if not better than FM23's engine

@Clayts Год назад

@OliFrench1 Год назад

Fierro was my go to striker in FM12 and 13. Absolutely prolific. You should do a part 2.

@densmores Год назад

Him and Sanogo

@TomFM Год назад

Ganso was incredible for me in a save with Santos back in the day! Going back to CM03/04 I signed a kid called Ryan Wilkie and he went onto win me Champions Leagues and was a Scottish national team hero. In reality I don't think he ever progressed past the Liverpool youth team 💔

@Clayts Год назад

Hey Tom, we should do a video where we put these failed Wonderkids into non-league teams on FM23

@craiggibbons8228 Год назад

Wow. Now that is a great idea. Fill up non league with failed wonder kids all the same starting age, lock them in from ever moving clubs, and see how many divisions they climb before they retire.

@ghodd9983 Год назад

my favorite wonderkid was Tonton Zola Moukoko back in CM days. I wonder if he's related to yosouffa moukoko? 🤔

@stephenking8505 Год назад

He was unstoppable as a 17 year old in 99/00 for derby

@thethomascobbgroup5001 Год назад

The best player I ever signed was Antonio Cerrajero, a 14-year-old from Atletico Madrid on FM2007. I never looked at the database back then due to running the game on a potato, so I have no idea if he had a fixed PA or if he just turned out good in the only save I had on that edition. I got over 50 season into that save before my potato fried.

@TiimoTiimo Год назад

you cant make one of these and not include the legend that is Cherno Samba and Supat Rungratsamee! Part two, i hope we see them both :D

@willywonka9785 Год назад

@JesusTorres-sg8jl Год назад

Fierro will always be an icon for me, as a Guadalajara fan, he scored a late winner that domino-affected us winning the league that year. A solid talent that never had the work ethic to properly shine, a great player Mexico missed for sure 🇲🇽

@PhilCebollas Год назад

El gol es en el que Campestrini la regala?

@MightHelpYouTESL Год назад

I was shouting at my phone saying he's got to include Henri Saivet! Great list! I'd love a part 2!

@bionicgeekgrrl Год назад

So many you could pick for future parts. Sadly often, a combination of unlucky timing, bad injuries and things just not working out can make or break a career at a young age. Even some of the world's best players that did live upto their hype (at least to some degree) suffered from this, suffering a key injury that meant they were never the same again (Owen could be considered a good example).

@Clayts Год назад

100% - agree with everything you said

@Heribery Год назад

The commentary with the all the photos makes this an amazing video. Well done clayts

@Clayts Год назад

Thank you - a lot of work went it!

@aidenjordan27 Год назад

Something that is always crossed my mind that would probably tempt me if I worked for SI. Do you think they've ever boosted someone's in an attempt to affect the real world. Choosing some young academy player with a bit of flair and claiming he's the next Messi would definitely get some clubs looking. We saw how Sky Sports used FM stats to compare others it's not impossible teams are using it for real scouting.

@wijnaldumthefirstofhisname3878 Год назад

Valeri Bozsinov was a bulgarien wonderkid too in early fm but he has not been a player like Stoichkov!

Pietro pellegrini??

@petergreatorex1203 Год назад

yaya sanogo shame his career did not go well

@BourneIdentity45 Год назад

Naci Ünüvar should be on the next list tbh he went from someone I’d buy every year to someone who I completely forgot about and then I’d check my fm 22 save to see where he was and he was nowhere near the 5 star prospect he promised to be and in real life he’s also nowhere near Ajax first team

@ginooti9515 Год назад

Saivet was dynamite in FM08!!

@gimmibox Год назад

Carlos Fierro and Erick Torres, the Mexican duo I always signed during that period.

@Eibarwoman Год назад

There's was a Tranmere Rovers striker named Harry Farley that in FM21 would not consistently be a wonderkid of Premier League quality. It was either not improve and be a semi-pro quality player or a Premier Leaguer in that game randomly in saves. He has seemingly disappeared in later games and from Transfermarkt (which means probably well down the non-league game).

@MaxRoboPT Год назад

@jorgenorberto293 2 месяца назад

Well, I wanted to contribute with 2 names that seem to have been forgotten, one from a long time ago, the other, a lot closer. Cherno Samba and Hachim Mastour. Those 2 are real failures when comparing the hype on FM and the reality.

@Shinyua Год назад

There was another player in FM11 alongside Neymar who was set to be a star. Ryder Matos. Man was a beast

I still remember the program where Seedorf (who had played for Botafogo) and some other reporters were discussing if Ganso was ready to play on Europe, the reporters thought he was the biggest new thing but Seedorf managed to shut them up, saying he was too slow and couldn't keep up with the speed of European football.
