what age for normal wonderkid?

what i mean to say is at what age do you normally see "wonderkid" on a players profile?i ask this because i have a 16 year old german keeper who is already a "wonderkid",which i think is pretty amazing.

I usually see the label wonderkid around the age of 16-17 to the age of 21.

A lot of it has to do with the player's reputation, too.

Wonderkid status is misleading in my eyes. Maybe im just not very good, but I can never turn them into world class players.

There's wonderkids that don't turn into worldclass players IRL. It happens.

Considering we were talking about goalkeepers above: Look at Akinfeev ( irl, not on FM )

He's a good player in his mid twenties, but nowhere near the wonderkid people thought he'd be.

A wonderkid is an exceptionally talented youngster below the age of 21.

With the right training, a wonderkid could develop to be a world class player.

If you have the chance to sign a wonderkid, then it is highly recommended.

For a player to become a wonderkid then he must have the following criteria all complete:

The player must be under the age of 21

The player must have a CA above 140

The player must have a PA of over 170

About 36 years of age for you to be considered wonderkid

I've found that wonderkids scouting reports tend to be "capped", too; until they're 21, my assistant seems to always cap their ability at "middle of the road" for my squad (in terms of star ratings). Then once they turn 21, I see an accurate reflection of their rating.

Ive found it to be on any player more so like what you descriped
