With Football Manager 2022 now fully released, Leicester City fans have the chance to take on the reigns of their club and lead the Foxes to glory. As a manager, one of the most satisfying things on FM has got to be signing and developing a wonderkid. Therefore, FoL endeavour to provide five excellent wonderkids that enthusiasts can sign in their saves.

Benoit Badiashile (CB) for Leicester City?

Benoit Badiashile is yet another promising young French centre-back who is excellent in both real life and Football Manager. Despite being aged just 20, Badiashile is incredibly well-rounded both technically and physically, with 14’s across the board.  If you snap him up reasonably early, there’s the potential to pick up the Frenchman for between £15-25 million. Given regular playing time, the imperious 6″4 Badiashile will develop into a colossal ball-playing defender alongside fellow wonderkid Wesley Fofana.

Market Value: £14-18 million

Potential Ability: dynamic, between 140 and 180/200

Top attributes:

  • Jumping Reach: 17
  • Strength: 15
  • Natural Fitness: 15

Samuele Ricci (CM)

Samuele Ricci is a name Foxes fans may be familiar with since he was linked with a transfer to LCFC over the summer. Ricci is best used as a deep-lying playmaker and for LCFC fans, can be a true replacement/rotation to Youri Tielemans’ creativity. Boasting excellent physical and mental attributes for someone so young, Ricci has everything to become a superstar. Whilst his technical attributes can be refined, at just 19 years of age there’s plenty of time for growth.

Market Value: £18-24m

Potential ability: Dynamic, between 140 and 180/200

Top attributes:

Determination: 16

Stamina: 15

Passing: 14
