What are FIFA 23 wonderkids?

Wonderkids are young players – usually under the age of 24 – who have good overall ratings.

It can also mean players that do not currently have a high rating, but have a high potential rating due to their age.

These players are often cheap to sign, but will take a few seasons before they are playing at their best.

However, if you invest your time into these players they can give a huge boost to your career mode team, for very little cost.
