Real-world prospect list, not FM27 game data. Built from public Wikidata and Wikipedia facts (snapshot 14 October 2026) and our own Prospect Signal. Sports Interactive does not publish FM27 ratings; once the game is out (10 November 2026) FM27 in-game data replaces this list on the same pages. How it works.

Questions people ask

Who are Sporting CP's best young players for FM27?

On our list: Nestor Irankunda (20, Sporting CP), Moncef Zekri (18, Sporting CP) and João Simões (19, Sporting CP). In-game potential comes from Sports Interactive's database and is visible only in FM27.

Should I keep or loan out Sporting CP's youngsters?

In Football Manager, young players develop with match time. SI says FM27 youngsters weigh game time more when choosing a move, so promising players who will not start are often better loaned out.
