V.7 UPDATE - The FINAL EVER Update!
378 NEW PLAYERS ADDED!
Total players in the database now is 2000. There has been face edit changes for a quite a few existing players, only if better photos were found. Config file updated. Some players who are in academies that aren't in the game have been put into similar or geographically nearby academies to decrease the amount of free agents and to help their development in game.
A huge thank you to all you guys and girls who have downloaded & played the database. Helped out with its creation and left positive and helpful messages. This is officially the final ever update I will make to this facepack. This has been an 8 month long project of mine and over 25,000 downloads is just crazy! I hope you lot have enjoyed it and continue to enjoy it until FM26 comes out. I will still periodically check the messages and if any mistakes are found I will sort them out. 🙂 Thanks
FAQS
The faces aren't showing up on my save? Why don't the player ID's match? The ID's do infact match to the correct players. They don't however, if you have another database running alongside mine. If you want the facepack to work then you have to run this database on its own or create your own facepack.
Why are some players at their old clubs? When I research and create a player profile I will put in their future transfer if they have moved clubs after the standard save start date (July 2023). If a player has agreed to a move after I create their profile then I will not add in their transfer. Going back through all my players and checking if they have moved clubs will take way too much time for me and ultimately I feel it will detract from the enjoyment of the database. The more players who have future transfers lined up then the less you can sign in your saves.
Can I use this database alongside other ones? Yes you can. The facepack wont work though as the ID's will change, unless you merge the databases yourself using the editor.
Only compatible with 24.3.0 Update
I don't know about you guys but I personally won't be buying FM25 because of the mess I think it will be. Until FM26 however, I want fun, different and interesting saves with updated wonderkids to spice up my saves. That's why for the past couple of months, in-between my full time job I have been doing a lot of research into young up and coming players around the world. I have been finding out as much information as I possibly can and have been watching as much footage of these players as possible too. I want to build as accurate a profile as possible for each and every player.
I (like many other FM players) love when I find a super wonderkid in an unlikely country like Japan, Panama or New Zealand. That's why I have done my best to look far and wide and deep into countries' football pyramids. There may be one or two mistakes (I am only one guy after all) but I will change, update and add to the database when I can.
A handful of players whose exact birthdays are not publicly known have been given (01/01/Birth Year) but will be changed once the exact dates are known.
Obviously some information on certain players will not be available so certain things will be randomly generated by the game and may differ from save to save.
I also personally can't stand having players in my squad with no face so I have edited a player face for everyone and haven't added anyone who doesn't have a photo of themselves available for edit. (All photo ID’s match to the correct photos however, if you have other databases on the go alongside mine. There is a high chance the facepack will not work.)
Potential for players have been given ranges instead of exact numbers so the level players reach can be different from save to save.
Please give feedback, good or bad and if there are players you'd love to see added or mistakes you have found feel free to comment. I hope whoever decides to download this enjoys it and has some good saves. I’d love to see screenshots of peoples' wonderkid profiles and see if any of these new wonderkids became world beaters for your teams 🙂
Special thanks to user ‘Rumle’ for creating a shortlist involving every single player.

You are correct on that with African youth players. They do flood into the country, not only via Gothia Cup in Gothenburg but by any means. Then they get swooped up by those premium youth development teams. A short flashy show in some top level club then off to Europe with whatever familymember they brought to Scandinavia on some sort of visa. So yes that Africa U-17 could very well have some young lads ready for that adventure.
Looking forward to updates

I spot a lot of anxiety in this post.

Thank you for your work.

Good evening and congratulation for the excellent work! Can I use this update alongside the main Sortitoutsi FM24 DATA UPDATE? I guess ther will be some duplication….
Thank you for your kind answer.
bhamichaelg
There might be a way if you merge the two databases together using the editor. Like you said though, there will almost definitely be duplications
Rus7M
Hi, noticed that one player has another person's face. Please check it out.

Player 2002042649 is Mustafo Khasanbekov in the database and the matching ID in the facepack is correct
Rus7M
Yes, sorry, you are correct. I was focusing on the information from the pdf file, and in the game itself really 2002042649 is Mustafo Khasanbekov.

Why not work with the Sorttoutsi creators to create new players?
bhamichaelg
I did when it came to making edits for the cut out megapack, think I contributed around 18,000 graphics. But I chose to do my own database for this because with Sortitoutsi's database update I feel it's a case of too many cooks can spoil the broth. Theirs is great obviously but it wasn't quite to my liking and my preferences
elpadre77580
All in all, thank you for the work and it's a shame that we are merging the two databases, there is a risk of duplication because I am interested in players who are not in your database and vice versa.

The game crashes on setup when running this .fmf-file alone combined with Real World game mode. Start date 03.07.23.
Any fixes, anybody?

Hi dear Commuinty.
I have a question that has been bothering me for a while:
I am currently using the FM24 New Wonderkids (SirTAVARES).fmf from the FM24 to FM25 DLC. Also the same FM24 CA-PA Changes - February 2025 (SirTAVARES).fmf from the DLC.
My question: Is this .fmf better than my previous ones? I know that is always very subjective.
Or maybe I'll put it a little differently: Does this .fmf enhance the gameplay more than the two .fmf from the DLC?
What are your impressions so far?
I'm still somewhat divided.
Thanks for your comments

Hey, I just installed the wonderkids pack but for some reason most if not all of the new players are showing up double, wanted to see if this was a common issue and if anyone knows a quick fix. Thanks.

They will do if you have other similar files in your editor data such as daveincid or the susie file, they will add the same players
ypu can merge the files in the editor, but not perfect
Dan Spring
Hi same if the faces don't match the players
Dan Spring
This player does match what could be the problem?
jjtt870
The player id's and pictures are all wrong.
Can't seem to get it to work.
Seems like the id's are correct on the pdf file but they don't match the id's that the game actually uses.
Abdulai Bah is 2002043272 on the PDF-file and on the image-folder but actually the id in game is Xhoni Shega 2002043649
This results that Bah has Shega's picture in game.
Same thing with every player. Do you have a newer version of the facepack?
GnuGoku
The facepack provided dont match with players ID´s
I have just this file on editor data and files for name fix
bhamichaelg
Facepack ID's are all correct but only if you have the loaded my database and no other ones. If you want the ID's to match whilst also using other database edits, you would have to merge the databases together yourself. You would need to have minimal knowledge of the FM editor to do so but it is possible
