10 Best Brazilian Wonderkids in Football Manager 2024 (Ranked)

Football Manager 2024 stands out as one of the year’s best sports games, offering unparalleled detail across nearly every league worldwide. It allows fans to step into the shoes of real-life managers and create their own footballing legacy from the comfort of their laptops—a dream come true for passionate football enthusiasts. With FM25 delayed until March 2025, FM24 has continued to captivate players.

Sports Interactive, the creators of Football Manager, have an uncanny knack for identifying future superstars. From Kylian Mbappé to Erling Haaland, their scouting system consistently highlights raw talent. A significant portion of these emerging stars hails from Brazil—a nation renowned for its love of football. Whether on the white beaches of Rio or deep in the Amazon rainforest, the South American country lives and breathes the sport.

Brazil’s footballing legacy, featuring legends like Neymar and Pelé, remains as vibrant as ever. In FM24, the next generation of Brazilian talent is already making waves. Here are the 10 best Brazilian wonderkids in the game, each with the potential to shatter records and dominate at the highest levels of professional football.

10. Deivid Washington - Chelsea

Deivid Washington made headlines when he joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 on a massive seven-year deal. Although the young Brazilian has faced challenges adapting to English football, his potential in Football Manager 2024 remains undiminished. He’s still regarded as one of the most exciting teenage prospects in the game.

While securing Washington will come at a premium and playing time at Chelsea might be limited, his raw talent is undeniable. With a 14 rating in finishing and 14 in composure, he has the ability to glide into the final third and deliver clinical results. Few 18-year-olds possess such a deadly skill set, and his attributes are only set to improve with time.

9. Giovani - Al Sadd

Right winger Giovani currently showcases his talents at Al Sadd in Qatar, having started his career at Palmeiras before making the move to the Middle East. Renowned as one of Brazil's most exciting young prospects, Giovani is bursting with flair, tricks, and creativity on the flank. His potential hasn’t gone unnoticed in Football Manager 2024, where his attributes highlight his immense raw ability.

With 13 dribbling, 11 finishing, and 13 first touch, Giovani is already equipped to make an impact on the pitch. As he continues to develop in Qatar, his skill set is expected to grow, solidifying his status as one of the most promising Brazilian wonderkids and an exciting option for any manager.

8. Luis Guilherme - Palmeiras

As of January 4, 2024, Luis Guilherme has made 27 appearances for Palmeiras without registering a goal or an assist. Despite this, the 17-year-old remains one of the world’s most exciting prospects. With quick feet, blistering pace, and relentless energy on the flanks, he has the tools to trouble any defender. In Football Manager 2024, his potential is evident, with standout stats such as 15 acceleration, 18 agility, and 27 pace.

While his 10 finishing highlights his rawness, there’s little doubt he will refine his game as he matures. The world is truly at his feet. Although in real life, Guilherme has transferred to West Ham at the start of the 2024/25 season, this update is not yet reflected in the game.

7. Sávio - Girona (on loan from Troyes)

In real life, Savio is widely regarded as one of the most entertaining players to watch. Since joining Manchester City, he has been a bright spark in an otherwise challenging start to the 2024/25 campaign. While he currently lacks composure and confidence in front of goal, his potential for improvement is undeniable.

Rewind a year, and Savio was on loan at Girona from Troyes, playing a pivotal role in helping the club secure Champions League football. In Football Manager 2024, he remains at Girona, as his recent transfer to Manchester City hasn’t been updated in the game. This gives you the perfect opportunity to snap him up before City does.

6. Lorran - Flamengo

At just 17 years old, Lorran is already making waves at Flamengo, having broken into the senior team at such a young age. His immense potential hasn’t gone unnoticed, with Football Manager 2024 replicating his raw talent and forecasting a world-class career for the young Brazilian.

With '15 acceleration' and '15 pace,' Lorran is one of the most electrifying right-wingers in the game, capable of effortlessly taking on defenders one-on-one. Add his '14 dribbling' into the mix, and it's clear he’s destined for greatness. However, patience will be required—due to transfer regulations, players cannot move from Brazil to Europe until they turn 18.

5. Ângelo - Strasbourg (on loan from Chelsea)

Todd Boehly’s tenure at Chelsea has been chaotic, but there are signs it’s beginning to bear fruit. Since taking over from Roman Abramovich, Boehly has overseen an astonishing 39 signings. Among them is Ângelo, a promising talent from Santos, as part of a focused effort to scout South America’s brightest emerging stars—both hidden gems and well-known prospects.

During the 2023/24 season, Ângelo was loaned to Strasbourg, where his performances were solid but far from groundbreaking. However, his potential in Football Manager 2024 is undeniable. With a standout '16 dribbling' attribute, he’s an exciting prospect. Securing him, however, won’t be easy, given Chelsea’s formidable financial clout.

4. Marcos Leonardo - Benfica

Marcos Leonardo is the latest Brazilian sensation to emerge from Santos, where he scored an impressive 54 goals in 168 appearances. His standout performances earned him a move to Benfica in January 2024, which is where he begins in Football Manager 2024, though in real life he joined Al Hilal later that summer.

In FM24, Leonardo boasts attributes like '15 acceleration,' '15 finishing,' and '11 dribbling,' making him one of the most versatile and promising young strikers in the game. His talent is undeniable, but securing his signature won’t be easy, as you’ll face intense competition for this rising star.

3. Estêvão - Palmeiras

At just 17 years old—16 at the start of Football Manager 2024—Estêvão is already considered one of Brazil's brightest young talents. While he has secured a real-life move to Chelsea for the summer of 2025, this hasn’t been reflected in the game, giving you the opportunity to sign him before the Blues do.

Estêvão's potential is immense, with FM24 showcasing his raw ability through attributes like '12 dribbling' and '12 first touch.' Though still developing, his promise is undeniable, and he’s poised to dominate the right flank for years to come in FM24.

2. Vitor Roque - Barcelona

Vitor Roque netted 28 goals in 81 appearances for his boyhood club in Brazil, earning him a high-profile move to Barcelona in 2024. Unfortunately for Football Manager players, this makes him almost impossible to sign, as Barcelona are unlikely to part with a player they see as having the potential to become one of the world’s best strikers.

In FM24, Roque shines with stats like '15 acceleration' and '14 dribbling,' showcasing his talent and potential. However, in real life, despite being highly regarded, Roque has yet to make a significant impact at Barcelona, having gone out on loan to Real Betis.

1. Endrick - Real Madrid

Last but certainly not least, Endrick is regarded as one of the most exciting wonderkids in the world, with the potential not only to be a future star, but possibly one of the greatest players of all time. At just 17, his highlight reel in FM24 is already spectacular, and his talent promises to dominate European football alongside his Brazilian counterparts.

With '14 dribbling' and '14 first touch,' Endrick stands out as the top Brazilian wonderkid in FM24. His early debut for Brazil at just 17 is another testament to his exceptional ability. However, due to his ties with the Spanish giants, it's unlikely that he will ever be available for transfer in the game.
