Scouting for Superstars and Wonderkids in FM27 Mobile

How do I find and develop wonderkids in FM27 Mobile?

You scout the globe to unearth future wonderkids, train their preferred moves directly to steer their development, and use the player search to find traits that fit your tactics. The official App Store page for Football Manager 27 Mobile frames scouting and player development as two connected jobs: bring in the right young players, then shape how they grow. The page does not publish a step-by-step guide, so the notes below stay at the level of what the game tells you about itself.

Scouting the globe for superstars vs wonderkids

Scouting is the entry point for both. According to the App Store listing, you scout the globe to "secure the game's superstars or unearth future wonderkids for your squad." That single line sets up two different searches: ready-made stars who improve your team now, and young prospects you build around later. The page does not give scout numbers, regions or how long a scouting assignment takes, so treat any specific figure you see elsewhere as unconfirmed.

How do you search for players by their traits?

You can search for players whose traits suit your style and strategy. This is officially part of the new Signature Moves feature, which the App Store page lists as a season highlight. It gives you a way to find prospects who already play the way your tactic wants, rather than signing a wonderkid and retraining him from scratch. The page does not say how the search works, which traits are searchable, or how the results are ranked.

How do you train a player's signature moves?

You can now directly train players' preferred moves, or traits. According to the App Store listing, this gives you "more power to focus player progression," which is exactly what a wonderkid project needs: instead of waiting for traits to appear, you point development at the ones you want. The page does not say how long training a trait takes, whether it costs anything, or whether there is a cap on how many traits a player can learn — the patch notes and listing do not list those details yet.

Does FM27 Mobile carry over saves from earlier editions?

Yes. Saves carry over from earlier editions of FM Mobile. The App Store listing says you can "build on past triumphs while unlocking fresh features and opportunities," and sums it up as "your story doesn't reset; it evolves." This matters for wonderkid projects: a prospect you signed in a previous edition can keep developing in FM27 Mobile instead of starting over.

What else supports a long-term squad plan?

Physio Reports and Team Dynamics are the two systems that help you protect and manage young players over a full season. Physio Reports, per the App Store page, give "a full assessment of injury risks and match readiness" so you can pick the right team for each match. Manage Team Dynamics surfaces events that affect morale and expands how you interact with players, which matters when a young squad's confidence swings. The page mentions "a new playable league" as well, but it does not name it.
