South America has always been a hotbed for producing the best football talents within the world. From Lionel Messi topping the table of most Ballon d’Or awards to the up and coming wonderkid Vinicius Junior, Brazil and Argentine has been on the front of developing the biggest football talents. Some of the worlds best players have come from this region.
Today I’ll be looking at the best South American talents in FM20, providing you with a complete list of the Under-21 players with the highest potential in Football Manager 2020. This list will be a great addition to our FM20 wonderkids list and will provide you with 500+ South American talents to scour through. This shortlist is available in the bottom of the article and can be imported to your save.
Brazil and Argentina have always been one of my favorite scouting regions as there are great options to find cheap wonderkids and talents, either you’re looking for a new Kaka, the next Marcelo or Daniel Alves, a goalscorer similar to Ronaldo or a hard working midfielders like Esteban Cambiasso or Javier Zanetti.
Our list of FM20 South American talents features players from Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentine and Brazil. You’ll notice that each country will produce players with a slightly different attribute style. If you’d like physical players then Colombia would be th place to go, creative players can be found in Brazil, while Argentine let’s you find more tactical intelligent players, often more suited for a 4-4-2 formation.
We’ll update this list until the release of Football Manager 2021.
