When starting your own career mode, there’s no point signing a player in their late 30s if you want any kind of long-term success. Instead, you’ll want to sign as many EA Sports FC 25 wonderkids as you can. But who are the best young players to sign this year? We have all of the names for you so that you’re not wasting your limited funds.
Below, we have all of the high potential young players for you to sign. We have listed them by position, with some categories having more players than others, and we have limited the choices to only players who are under 21-years old and have a potential overall rating of at least 84. How much they will cost to buy, and whether you can at all, will depend on when you try to buy them and who they play for at the time. Players develop at different rates, so they may be more expensive than you expect.
Best FC 25 Young Goalkeepers
Goalkeepers mature at an older age than outfield players, which is why there is only one high potential GK under the age of 21 in this year’s game. You can buy older players who are good and they’ll stay on your team for a long time. Many of them can remain reliable into their late 30s.
Player Name | Team | Position | Rating | Potential Rating |
---|---|---|---|---|
Guillaume Restes | Toulouse | GK | 78 | 88 |
Best FC 25 Young LBs And RBs
Many full backs can play on both sides, as well as at center back. You’ll be smart to find one who can play in all three positions, as that will give you plenty of options when building your squad. If you consider yourself a modern, progressive coach in the mold of Pep Guardiola, you may also want someone like Rico Lewis, who can also invert from RB and play in midfield.
Player Name | Team | Position | Rating | Potential Rating |
---|---|---|---|---|
Destiny Udogie | Spurs | LB | 82 | 86 |
Balde | Barcelona | LB | 81 | 89 |
Malo Gusto | Chelsea | RB | 80 | 86 |
Arnau Martinez | Girona | RB | 79 | 85 |
Rico Lewis | Manchester City | RB | 76 | 85 |
Lewis Hall | Newcastle United | LB | 73 | 85 |
Harry Amass | Manchester United | LB | 60 | 85 |
Best FC 25 Young CBs
Center backs are another position that usually don’t blossom until well into their 20s. There are some good CB options if you’re searching for a wonderkid in that position, but the competition will be high. Some of the options will also be very expensive to pick up.
Player Name | Team | Position | Rating | Potential Rating |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ousmane Diomande | Sporting | CB | 78 | 86 |
Mosquera | Valencia | CB | 77 | 86 |
Jorrel Hato | Ajax | CB | 75 | 88 |
Pau Cubarsi | Barcelona | CB | 72 | 88 |
Luka Vuskovic | Hadjuk Split | CB | 64 | 86 |
Best FC 25 Young CMs
There are lots of young central midfielders to sign in FC 25. Obviously, some will be very unobtainable. Suggesting you buy Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid isn’t exactly the most helpful of advice. However, search for player in the lower league and you’ll find some gems who’ll turn into superstars after a few years. If you are playing with a decent budget though, there are lots of young CMs who’ll only get better.
The table below also includes players in all three central midfield positions. However, CAMs and CDMs are very different players who will perform very different roles on your squad. You need to be careful where you play them and who you pick up for what your club needs.
