We’re looking for the best striker to sign in FM24. That’s because it’s that time again, with Football Manager 2024 bringing another season of management mania set to take over your computers, and consoles!
With exciting new features coming in the ‘most complete version of FM yet’, Sports Interactive has raised it up a notch this year. Thanks to the FM24 early access period, you can jump on the latest game now!
Lots of changes have been made, but the fundamentals of FM will stay the same. That means FM24 wonderkids scouting is just as important as ever.Â
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the most exciting wonderkid position of them all. We’ll help you discover the next goalscoring sensation in this year’s game.
Best Striker to sign in FM24
Whether you’re looking for a pacey player to get behind defences, a tall target man, or a complete forward, we’ve got you covered with the best striker to sign in FM24.
There are plenty of options for how you want your striker to play. But what is a non-negotiable is that they must score goals!
Endrick (SEP)
FM23 introduced us to a brand new goalscoring powerhouse. Endrick quickly became the go-to target for FM players around the world.Â
The Brazilian sensation is back better than ever in Football Manager 2024, but there will be a catch.Â
Endrick has already agreed on a move to Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid, with the deal set to go through officially in January of 2024.Â
That means, unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a long time if you’re ever going to add this guy to your save. We’re not sure the capital club is going to be keen on letting him go any time soon!
An exciting mix of physical stats and a high potential rating made Endrick the star of FM23. We’re expecting this young Brazilian to be staking his claim at the top of the leaderboards once again.Â
Evan Ferguson (Brighton)
Whilst FM introduced us to Endrick, the footballing wonders of Brighton and De Zerbi introduced us to Evan Ferguson. This is a man who is arguably the finest striking prospect in world football right now.Â
Ferguson was a promising talent in FM23, with the Irishman making his way into many saves, despite his high price tag.
With that talent being replicated in real life, and a major boost coming in the Winter Update, it’s a sure-fire guarantee to say that the Brighton forward will be one of the best that money can buy in Football Manager 2024.Â
His physical and mental stats and high potential range make him a sought-after talent. But you can be sure that Brighton will require a major transfer fee in order to take him away from the South Coast of England.Â
Youssoufa Moukoko (Borussia Dortmund)
Moukoko is a name that Football Manager players will have known for some time. Unfortunately, the German forward has yet to truly showcase his full promise for Dortmund.Â
That being said, his stock is on the rise. But we’re not expecting him to be as exciting as the two names above him on this list.Â
Instead, we’d expect Moukoko to find a healthy potential rating between 150-170. Still more than good enough for a world-class forward.Â
Already an FM legend for many, Moukoko could be available for a cheaper deal given his status in the BVB pecking order.
One thing is for sure, Moukoko will once again be causing havoc for defenders in Football Manager 2024.Â
Jhon Duran (Aston Villa)
Not every wonderkid is easy to find. Whilst Duran isn’t exactly hidden away, he is a player who could be easily overlooked in FM24.
Last year, Duran possessed a wonderful array of stats that made him a handful for any defender. Although he ultimately failed to have the killer instinct that makes a player like Haaland so deadly.
However, with Duran now impressing Villa in real life, we could almost certainly see another boost for the Columbian in this year’s game.
Composure and finishing could be on the way up, meaning Duran may be one to watch in Football Manager 2024.
Mathys Tel (Bayern Munich)
We have a sneaky feeling that Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel could be everyone’s favourite striker in FM24. Behind a certain Norwegian powerhouse at least!Â
A French forward with an incredible array of stats, Tel is now showcasing his talents in real life for the Bavarian outfit.Â
Scoring goals for fun in real life usually means your FM stats shoot through the roof. Tel could once again be due another boost, meaning this man will move into god-mode territory.Â
With Kane now in the door at Bayern, could you convince the German giants to part with one of their brightest young talents in order to fill a financial void?
