Football Manager 27 Wonderkid Goalkeepers – Complete List

Signing a solid, young goalkeeper in FM27 is usually enough for an entire career. But finding a great one can take time, time you might want to spend setting up the tactics or actually playing the game.

Today, I am here to make your job easier, as I will list the best young goalkeepers in Football Manager 27.

I am talking about players aged 21 at most, with incredible skills and even more amazing potential. All of them have what is required to become world-class players without you having to touch the game editor.

IMPORTANT: Since the game sets the potential ability within ranges in many cases, some of these players might be a bit worse in your save (for example, if the RNG gives them a potential ability of 170 instead of 190). But we have no control over this, and there are plenty of players to choose from, anyway.

How to search for a specific player listed below?

In your current save, click the “Search” button in the top bar (as seen in my screenshot below), paste the name of the player and click them. That’s all!

With these in mind, let’s check out the best goalkeepers under 21 in Football Manager 27 below!

NOTE: The salaries listed are MONTHLY, not WEEKLY, because that’s how I had my game set up when preparing the article. For future lists, I will use weekly salaries instead.

What if some of these players don’t appear in your game?

This means that the database you’ve selected simply didn’t include them. Always try to start a game with the largest possible database and amount of leagues selected (that don’t break your computer). With a smaller database of ~40k players, you might still not get some of these wonderkids.

Most Affordable Young Goalkeepers Who Stand Out

Unless you are managing one of the top teams in the world, most of these goalkeepers will, unfortunately, be impossible to sign, at least early on.

It’s still worth keeping an eye on them all, but if you just need a great keeper and you’re not managing Barcelona, here are the best options (affordable, easier to sign, from the list):

Rui Araki

Probably the best option on the list when it comes to affordable, easy-to-get young goalkeepers with wonderkid potential. This is usually the first player I try to get in a new save.

Alex Kouto Horio Pisano

Similar to Rui Araki, he’s also a Japanese keeper with great potential. He’s a bit older, so a bit more developed, but Rui gets better than him.

Teo Hupfauf

He’s just 16, and unlikely to leave his current club, but you can try – and if you do, you score an amazing deal, with a player that will almost certainly become world class.

Jeremías Ochoa

(screenshot coming soon)

Another 16 yo with amazing potential. Depending on where in the world you play, he might be easier to sign than most on this list.

Savo Radanović

This young Serbian keeper always becomes the national team’s #1 (at least on the shirt). Usually an easy signing for most teams, but unfortunately he starts as loaned out.

TIP: I used the salary instead of their value estimator simply because that will change more in each game than the salary will. If you can’t afford a player’s salary, it doesn’t really matter if you have enough money to buy.

So always look at the salaries on my list above to find a prospect that fits your finances, and then look at the club they’re playing at (a salary of 0 doesn’t mean that they will join any club).

I would add all of these keepers to my shortlist, especially if you plan a long career. You never know what level you will reach eventually, and which one you will afford. But for most teams, signing any of these basically guarantees a starting keeper who will do wonders in the box.

Do you have any other amazing young keepers you would add to this list? Let us all know in the comments below.
