The best wonderkids in Football Manager 2016 are those with a random potential ability of -9 (or -9.5). This random potential means they have the potential to be as good as the best players in the world (e.g. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo).

However because there potential is random, it changes everytime you start a new career and there's no way to tell if they are going to become as good as Messi or merely as good as the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Oscar, Coutinho or Douglas Costa.

Still that's not a bad list of names to be compared to, so what you can be guaranteed is that these players have the potential to be world class, the only question is, just how good are they going to get?

PA is measured out of 200 and defines how good a player can become within the game. Players with -9.5 potential have a PA random between 160-190 while players with a PA of -9 have a random potential between 150-180. There are only 3 players with a random potential of -9.5 and these players have the chance to be a cut above the rest in the list. They are:

Anthony Martial
Youri Tielemans
Martin Odegaard

The rest all have PA's of -9 (random between 150-180), or a fixed PA within that same range.
