Football Manager 2022: The best wonderkids for Leicester to sign
By Nathan Wong
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
