The original FootballFanCast guide is identifiable, but the available archive record does not establish which players it named or why they were recommended. Naming West Brom prospects as though they were confirmed would risk giving FM18 players an invented guide.
What the archived listing confirms
- FootballFanCast indexed a guide titled “Three West Brom wonderkids you can’t ignore on FM18,” by Jack Wrafter, dated December 26, 2017.
- Its description says the guide concerned young prospects to develop while managing West Brom in Football Manager 2018.
The archive description says “Five young prospects,” which conflicts with the headline’s “Three.” Neither count can be treated as the confirmed number of players in the article. The archive listing does not provide the names, positions, attributes, potential assessments, or development advice.

Why the player recommendations can’t be reproduced
Without the original article or a reliable full-text copy, there is no verified basis for identifying the prospects or explaining their FM18-specific merits. Real-world West Brom players—and recommendations from other Football Manager editions—would not establish what Wrafter’s FM18 guide actually said.
The source available for this account is the FootballFanCast FM18 wonderkids archive listing, indexed and accessed October 8, 2026. It establishes the article’s metadata and general subject, not its player-level content.

- The best-selling, incredibly realistic football management drives on with over 1,000 improvements and enhancements in Football Manager 2014. The 3D match engine has seen extensive improvements, including enhanced AI, improved lighting and player animation, individual player character and kit models, more realistic player reaction to on-field incidents and a range of optimisations which combine to make this the best looking and fastest FM Match Engine yet. On the pitch, redesigned tactics management makes the player roles and team strategies even more prominent. Improvements to rival managers’ AI allow them to adapt their tactics more readily over time.
- FM 2014 features a revamped transfer module where opposing clubs and managers adopt a more realistic approach when making or responding to transfer offers. In addition, a number of new ‘real world’ transfer clauses have been added, such as the facility to loan a player back to the club he’s just been bought from and the option to offer a combination of cash and loan players, as well as new contract clauses such as a sub bench appearance fee. On top of this, the old ‘turn-based’ system of transfer negotiations can now be done two ways, the tried and tested system and a new ‘live’ system, similar to that used in FM’s contract negotiations.
- The 3D match engine has seen extensive improvements, including enhanced AI, improved lighting and player animation, individual player character and kit models, more realistic player reaction to on-field incidents and a range of optimisations which combine to make this the best looking and fastest FM Match Engine yet. Major changes have also been made to FM 2014’s user interface. Key areas have been redesigned – including the training overview page, the transfer centre and the news homepage – while widespread changes have been made across the game’s user interface. The language employed throughout the game has also enjoyed a major overhaul and now corresponds more closely to the language of real world football.
