Most people try to sign all the best wonderkids in FM, but have you ever tried starting a save with all the best wonderkids already in your team? Well now you can, with Wonderkid's United joining the English League 2 with 50 of the best 15-17 year olds in world football.
Your job is to take control of Wonderkid's United and try and get them to rise up the leagues. Although this is only a 1 season challenge, you can keep playing after if you'd like. For the purposes of the challenge you need to at least get promoted in order to earn a Bronze medal, while Silver requires you to win the league and a cup and you'll need to manage the impossible task of a quadruple to win Gold.
All the kids in this challenge have been added from our FM24 Data Update, which adds more than 10,000 new youth players to the game as well as updating it for the 24/25 season with all the latest squads, promotions and relegations.
Points Scoring
Bronze 🥉 - 2 points - Win Promotion
Silver🥈 - 3 points - Do a Double - Win League Two and any cup
Gold 🥇 - 5 points - Do a Quadruple - Win League Two, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Bristol Street Motors Trophy
Rules
- You must use the manager already in the save file. You cannot create a new manager. This so that all managers have the same attributes and experience.
- You cannot create any new managers.
- You cannot save before a match and then reload.
- You must have at most one weekly auto save. More saves than this will be deemed suspicious.
- You cannot use the in game editor or any other editor.

Each Challenge has its own leaderboard. Since lots of people will inevitably win gold there are a series of tie breakers to decide your position.

God help me if we actually get to Total Average Possession as a tie breaker, i'll make something else up at the time.

Come January we are getting along well. Taking a lot of time though. 7 hours in.

Crap sorry I obviously didn't test this enough and should have added more English players. Thanks for giving solutions. I might add another file with a fix bare with me.

Keep getting the sack. Just trying to work out which tactic to use. 🙂
Kalle Kutt
Welp that's it…
Kalle Kutt
Another thing which would have been nice is to give them Full Time Contracts 🙂 @Footygamer . Not really doable when your best player leaves for pennies.

Are we allowed to sign players for this challenge?
Socretino
Weah!
Kalle Kutt
BOOM! 2 down! Liverpool up next in the 5th Round of the FA Cup. Tired players though. Will be really surprised if we even manage to score.
EDIT: NO FKN WAY. WE BEAT LIVERPOOL!
EDIT #2: Luton in the QF
EDIT #3: The Dream Lives On! SF HERE WE GO!
EDIT #4: Toughest draw possible in the SF. No resting by the AI from here on as well.
Footygamer
Play however you like 🙂

Nice win vs Luton. I was knocked out by them from the League Cup.
Kalle Kutt
A perfect game from us. Need a few more to maaaaybe have a slim chance. Not had the time to play though.

We lift the EFL Trophy after DEMOLISHING Wigan. Never seen so many long range shots go in during a game. Set pieces paying off yet again as well hehe #broken

In terms of FA Cup, we get knocked out after getting defeated by Arsenal in the Semis after extra time. Unlucky to get a red card in the 31st minute, while also leading, and while we fought hard… There was nothing we could do in the end about it. Happy that we got so far, but the Gunners proved to be too much. We end it with a 'Triple' - QUADRUPLE IF YOU COUNT THE PRE-SEASON TOURNEY EY!
Kalle Kutt
What a crazy save. Loved it in a way… hated it in another. Feels like I was robbed at gunpoint and stripped of everything I have ever own. So close to getting that Quadruple. Well well… Nothing I could do about it. I was really lucky to get the win against Liverpool. Unlucky yet again to get drawn against the Gunners and not the Saints or the Eagles. Could have gotten a better result then. Would have been Arsenal in the end anyway (most likely). Really happy anyway. A crazy journey. Every tactical brilliant move made possible. Nothing is more possible than this.
Cheers for it.
Axe out.
