FM22 has finally arrived, which means it's time to start compiling your list of talented wonderkids.

Like a kid at Christmas trawling through the catalogues to find the best new toys, we've got you covered for a simple breakdown of the best ten German wonderkids to sign in FM22.

German Wonderkids

Not too long ago, Germany was dominating the world stage with its golden generation of talent. The World Cup win in 2014 capped off a memorable period for the Germans.

Things may have tailed off recently, but the emergence of talents like Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry has restored hope. Here are ten more stars that could fire Germany to success in FM22.

Florian Wirtz (CA 142 - PA 150 - 180)

Age: 18

Club: Bayer Leverkusen

Value: £60 - 96 million

Wage: £41,000 a week

One of the most exciting attacking midfielders in world football, Florian Wirtz is a player that is destined to have a full trophy cabinet at the end of his career.

Certain to be worth a fortune in FM22, Wirtz is a player that could completely transform your save. Whether you need him to do an immediate job or you're signing him for the future, this youngster is going to be the main man

Jamal Musiala (CA 147 - PA 160 - 10)

Age: 18

Club: Bayern Munich

Value: £45 - 61 million

Wage: £82,000 a week

The man that chose Germany over England, Musiala is a familiar name to FM fans. A versatile attacker who can operate centrally or out wide, Musiala has all the makings of a future Balon d'Or nominee.

His acceleration and dribbling stats make him almost impossible to defend against, and it's unlikely Bayern Munich would be interested in selling. However, everyone has a price, and Musiala is worth whatever you're willing to pay.

Armel Bella-Kotchap (CA 115 - PA 130 - 160)

Age: 19

Club: VFL Bochumm

Value: £5.2 - 9 million

Wage: £3,600 a week

A dominant defender with excellent physical stats, Bella-Kotchap could be the man to marshal your defence for years to come.

Likely to be available for a very low price, you'd be crazy not to try and swoop for this German beast.

Karim Adeyemi (CA 134 - PA 160 - 190)

Age: 19

Club: RB Salzburg

Value: £10 - 17.5 million

Wage: £7,000 a week

A nightmare striker that has already haunted over saves in previous years, Karim Adeyemi is a player that you must snap up before another big club gets there first.

Quick, composed, and certain to grow into a star, Adeyemi should be at the very top of your wonderkid striker wishlist.

Luca Netz (CA 123 - PA 140 - 170)

Age: 18

Club: Hertha Berlin

Value: £19 - 24 million

Wage: £33,000 a week

Not the only talented full-back on this list, Luca Netz is a player that possesses an incredible burst of speed and wonderful levels of natural fitness.

The dream for any manager that wants his full-backs to press high, Netz is a talent that can go to the very top of the game. Are you the manager that can help him reach those heights?

Armindo Sieb (CA 103 - PA 130 - 160)

Age: 18

Club: Bayern Munich

Value: £7.6 - 12.5 million

Wage: £3,400 a week

Sieb is another dangerous attacking midfielder lurking in the Bayern Munich ranks, but how good can this youngster become?

With a potential growth of up to 170, Sieb could get close to Musiala, but with both competing for the same spot, there could be an opportunity for you to swoop in and make one of the stars of your FM save.

Nnamdi Collins (CA 95 - PA 140 - 170)

Age: 17

Club: Borussia Dortmund

Value: £750,000 - 7.6 million

Wage: £6,500 a week

An extremely pacey centre-half with already impressive mental stats, Collins is a player that could be the future of Football Manager.

With Dortmund's track record of youth development, you can be sure that the young defender is in safe hands. Keep track of this youngster's development, he could well become a star for years to come.

Noah Katterbach (CA 122 - PA 130 - 160)

Age: 20

Club: FC Koln

Value: £7.4 - 12 Million

Wage: £7,250 a week

One of the most promising left-backs in the game, Katterbach is a player with a ton of potential.

His natural talent, lighting quick pace, and strong determination stats make him the perfect wonderkid in FM22. Be sure to act fast though, as we don't think Koln will be holding onto this talent for too much longer.

Jan Olschowsky (CA 94 - PA 110 - 140)

+ 10

Age: 19

Club: Borrusia Monchengladbach

Value: £95,000 - 900,000

Wage: £1,200 a week

Whilst Olschowsky may not appear to be the future of German goalkeeping judging by his FM21 stats, we are confident he'll receive a boost in the new game.

Not the tallest 'keeper on the market, the young shot-stopper makes up for that with his impressive speed and reflexes. Keep an eye on his development, as he could well turn into a star in FM22.

Lilian Egloff (CA 99 - PA 130 - 160)

Rounding off the list with another talented German midfielder, Egloff is a player that many FM fans may not be familiar with.

His technical and physical stats are already strong for someone of his age, and he's sure to continue growing over the next few years. A talented player you need to nurture, could Egloff become your next superstar?
