In short

The highest Prospect Signals are Brian Madjo (17, Aston Villa F.C.), Mathis Albert (17, Borussia Dortmund) and Erblin Osmani (17, FC Bayern Munich). Young players gain the most in Football Manager from game time and good training, so they are the long-term buys. Facts from Wikidata; FM27 in-game ratings replace this list after 10 November 2026.
