Yeah it said when I got the fresh batch. My assistant highlighted him as "one of the most gifted players to come through the ranks in years" or something along those lines lol. He's been carrying my under 18 team and has been showing he's far too good for that
I can't loan him out until he is 17 though. He is my assistants report on him:

where would you see his future position. if he was with my team I would groom him to be central defence, ala ferdinand a cultured ball playing defender
what do you think
I was thinking about that but his marking is too poor its a shame because his tackle is great. But i think a DM is most suited probably as a deep lying playmaker.
I am Chelsea in 3rd season. I improved youth set up immediately and hired back room staff with high attributes for Working with Youngsters & Judging Potential and I appear to have 2 Wonderkids in my ranks. 1 each season long may it continue.
But previous years no never had a class regen
****** need them too as Chelsea have no money after Season 1 & loads of wages and debt to pay!!!
Let's be honest, what are the chances of finding a wonderkid? You get a lot of good players from your youth side 5 or so years into the game but you are very lucky for a really gifted player. Scouting is a huge part of the game and you should spend a lot of time looking at foreign clubs trying to poach the best youngsters, you can't rely on your own youth for everything..
agree, having top youth facilities and good staff is important, but the best way to get wonder kids is to scout on your own. The facilities and coaches will improve the level of your players but you'll hardly get a wonder kid and thats normal... after all the wonder kids will be the best players in the world in the future, wich is a very small group.
I have some basic steps to get wonder kids i'll be happy to share:
Search on the best youth schools: Barcelona, Sporting CP, Ajax, West Ham....
Search on age: less than 18 is good, but i usually aim for the 14 year old ones, remember brazilian players won't get out of brazil until they're 18
Search on those crazy clubs like the Noroegian cronic champion (forgot the name....) or orlando pirates and stuff...
Always be aware of other clubs transferences, especially the ones with great scouts, they always go for the best kids, once got one very good youngster from a north contry that i found by rooling through the most important leagues clubs transferences, grabed him before they did
Unfortunately they had a wonder kid "born" in that same year and i couldn't get him that time because it was allready too pricy....
Never got him, and at 22 he was on the list for best player in the world....
As you mention in there backroom staff.
are they just coaches in general or youth coaches or scouts?
I talked about this because i think that We all know how to get better youngsters... get the facilities to top quality, invest in great staff... but... that's not enough for getting wonder kids... they're not "born" based on that... it's a question of probabilities... And your chances will improve if you have better facilities and great staff.sorry but you miss the point of this thread. it is about posts regarding producing your own wonderkids, and not scouting/buying them

I understand your point of view, but the truth is Scounting is the best way of getting them, also, if you get them with 14, 15 or 16 you still ARE Producting them, they will count as your formation youngsters, you can use that for the Champions League or Euro League Rules about youngsters...
Also, if you don't do it, most of them will never get to a upper level... some will even retire!
