Football Manager 2022: 10 Best Clubs To Get Cheap Wonderkids From

10. Universidad Católica (Chile)

We kick off the list with a Football Manager favourite, the Chilean powerhouse from the capital of Santiago.

Founded in 1937, The Crusaders are the third most successful club in the country, having won 16 top-flight titles in total, including the most recent one in 2021.

While they may not have a treasure chest of young starlets right at the start of a game, it is their youth recruitment (rated at 18 out of 20) that enables them to scout and sign some of the best young talents in the region and the entire country.

Excellent youth facilities and coaching help them retain those talents -- at least until European giants come calling -- and they become a very scary team in just a couple of seasons. Which is why the ideal time to have a look through their youth teams might be after their first or second recruitment generation have come in.

A player that you might want to check out straight away is certainly attacking midfielder Marcelino Núñez. At 21, he's not exactly a kid, but already has incredible technical skills and the work rate to help in midfield, as well as further up the pitch.
