Every Chelsea Wonderkid in Football Manager 26 Ranked

15. Shumaira Mheuka

One of the standout strikers in the Chelsea system, Shumaira Mheuka has sniffed the frist team a bit over the past season, getting a run out in the EFL Cup, and Conference League. At youth level, he is a proven goalscorer, currently having 10 goals in 10 matches. He is also prolific for the England U19 team. The game has given him a strong ceiling, having his peak on par with Marc Guiu, Chido Obi, and Shaqueel Van Persie.

14. Marc Guiu

Another striker prospect, Marc Guiu was a smart signing from La Masia and recently nabbed his first Champions League goal. His pressing ability and physicality make him the prototypical modern day attacker. He is possibly being undersold as his potential is considered on par with Mheuka and lower than Dastan Satpayev

13. Omari Kellyman

After signing from Aston Villa, Omari Kellyman was something of a forgotten man as persistent injuries meant he didn’t feature much for his first year after the switch. He is currently on loan at Cardiff City where he has gotten minutes while looking quite promising.

12. Kendry Paez

Kendry Paez was signed on a pre-agreement with some hype from South America but was sent to play fro Strasbourg for a season after his arrival in England. He’s getting consistent minutes in a top European league but the hype around him fading has led to his potential being just a step below his contemporaries like Arda Guler, Claudio Echeverri, and others.

11. Ryan Kavuma-McQueen

Ryan Kavuma-McQueen is an impressive winger prospect, he at just 16, has already been allowed to play up at U21 level and features in the Premier League 2. He impressed a lot for England’s youth setup, having 5 goals in 3 appearances for the U17 team. His sky-high potential at 16 is a major indication of his ability.

10. Dario Essugo

Signed from Sporting with a pretty heft ask of being a replacement for Moises Caicedo, Essugo had to be a good player to even be given such a job. Injury has taken him out of commission making it difficult to assess his actual abilities at a high level but he still has great potential in the newest Football Manager title.
