Every Chelsea Wonderkid in Football Manager 26 Ranked

20. Landon Emanalo

Landon Emanalo, son of former Blues employee Michael Emanalo, has a pretty similar attribute range as the others listed below him. His big benefit is the positional versatility as the game has him as a left-back, defensive midfielder, and central midfielder.

19. Lewi Richards

Another 16-year-old, Chelsea are clearly blessed with youth and Richards is defensive prospect with a similar versatility to Emanalo. He can play as a right-back normally, pushed up as a right wing back, or as a centre-back.

18. Ishe-Samuels Smith

Another one with a surprisingly low potential. Ishe-Samuels Smith was good enough to warrant a summer move to Strasbourg, before being sent back and loaned out to Swansea where he’s only made one appearance so far. He is someone who could be much higher in future games.

17. Freddy Bernal

A goalkeeping prospect at just 16. Freddy Bernal has signed a professional contract already and is the main goalkeeper in both the UEFA Youth League and U18 Premier League. He has pretty solid potential as far as goalkeepers go in game and could be a top shot-stopper for a team outside the top five leagues.

16. Mamadou Sarr

Strasbourg starter Mamadou Sarr is criminally underrated in this game but he has the physical attributes and profile to be a burden to opponents. A tall, agile defender who is capable of playing out from the back and is left-footed to boot. Sarr will almost certainly be boosted in the winter update but for now he’s the best of the mid-potential crop.
