Get to know the potential wonderkids of Football Manager 2023 as we introduce the FM22 NextGen Database. Here’s your chance to meet some of the future wonderkids and talents that are NOT included in Football Manager 2022.
To continue our tradition and personal enjoyment of scouring the world for wonderkids and talents I’m proud to announce the Football Manager 2022 NextGen Database. For over 5 years I’ve had the pleasure to produce a youth talent database for Football Manager that continues our attention on the best young talents in world football.
The FM22 NextGen Database will be your source for the potential FM23 wonderkids and talents – those 16 year old emerging talents that are too young to be included in Football Manager 2022.
The database is currently available only at our website, but will be released on our Steam Workshop after Christmas. The youth talent database showcases some of the potential FM23 wonderkids as well as other highly-rated talents worldwide, and will be updated until the release of Football Manager 2023.
By downloading our NextGen database below you’ll be able to pre-assess some of these player’s qualities and get a closer insight into some of the players that may be featured in our massive shortlist of FM23 wonderkids that’s coming at the Football Manager 2023 release, or during the FM23 beta period.
Despite it’s a lot of work for one person to make this database, I aim to update this Football Manager youth talents database with more players throughout 2022.
Enjoy the Passion4FM NextGen Database and discover the potential wonderkids and talents of Football Manager 2023 ‘before’ anyone else!

Thanks for the fast reply ! I hope you will realese it sooner than later, im waiting for it to start a new journey !
I'm sorry for the wait! Just been a lot of things lately. I have a few things on the to-do list. I have people asking daily for when my Tiki-Taka tactic is coming, then a few asking for the Training Schedules Megapack… Normally I've spent time in the weekends for the Nextgen database but since FM23 release, lots of things have happened each weekend. I wish to have version 1 out by Christmas, but who knows right now if I manage it.
Hello ! I've downloaded this datebase and wanted to compare players stats with the same players, but in fm23 and I found that the ratings for example -Miretti in FM 22 is different to FM 23 or someone else ? How can I have the same rating stats of fm23 in fm 22 ,can someone help me ? Antonio Silsva is another prodigy that have worse stats in fm 22 than fm23. I have downloaded the fm 23 datebase i tried it in fm 22 ,but it didnt't work, the players still had different ratings
Hi, this database is made for FM22. This means that it will use the FM22 database – meaning all players upgraded to FM23 will have different values than what they actual has in FM23. I will begin the work on the FM23 version within the coming weeks. Just very busy these days with Christmas coming up and all.
ah okay thanks the game doesn't seem to agree with me adding them then. I have used the id given from the game but i guess its not enough.
What do you mean by the game doesn't agree with adding them? Are you trying to add player faces to newly created players? If so, have you created an XML file and added the player photos in a graphics folder?
are the player ids correct on this as faces dont seem to work? thanks
Since these players are born after September 2005, all these players are NEW players added to the Football Manager 2022 database. Players faces and ID's are randomly created by FM.
