Football Manager 2022: 10 Best Clubs To Get Cheap Wonderkids From
3. Standard Liège (Belgium)
Limiting ourselves to only one club per nation was particularly difficult when it came to Belgium, but we ended up going with Standard mostly for their incredible youth facilities.
If you think that the current "golden generation" of the Belgium National Team is a result of luck and coincidence, you are terribly wrong. It is actually the fruit of a long and detailed system overhaul that the Belgian FA embarked on -- much like Germany with Das Reboot -- after being knocked out of the 2002 World Cup by Brazil.
Most of the veterans hung up their boots and the nation turned its focus towards molding young players. While they still don't have any international silverware to show for it, the global superstars they created along the way are very much a testament to their efforts.
One of the clubs most symbolic with that movement is certainly Standard Liège, Belgium's fourth most successful club of all time. Equipped with incredible infrastructure and a wide-ranging scouting network that attempts to bring in wonderkids from all over the world, The Reds represent everything a Football Manager player looks for in a club.
