Who are the best FC 25 wonderkids? Depending on who you choose to helm in Fc25’s career mode, it might not always be feasible to be able to buy a finished product. If you take over from Pep, then sure, you can go into the transfer market with a wad of cash and acquire whoever you like. For other clubs, however, it is more realistic to buy prospects and develop them over time.
Career mode in EA Sports FC 25 has undergone a bit of an overhaul, with new streamlined menus and a vastly improved suite of customizations available when beginning your manager journey. One thing that hasn’t changed in the soccer game, thankfully, is talent and potential. With that, here is our list of the best FC 25 wonderkids you should pick up in career mode.
FC 25 wonderkids and young players with the highest potential
Potential is an interesting thing in soccer: it can be left unfulfilled, and also be smashed into oblivion, nothing is permitted and everything must be earned. FC 25 has a base stat of potential for each player, but this isn’t the be all and end all of their careers. If you have a promising young player in your squad who fits your playstyle, they could eventually turn into a world-class talent with enough game time and good performances.
Sure things are rarely that, especially in soccer, but we have a list of the most promising young players in the FC 25 career mode – if you can pick these players up early in your managerial career, then you absolutely should. These players are all aged 20 or under, and while some of them are expensive to begin with, they’re a sound investment if you can afford it.

Best cheap young players in FC 25
The players with the highest potential are usually those already close to the finished article. Lamine Yamal, for instance, is very young, but his immense talent has already seen him skyrocket into the Barcelona first team. Being a first-team regular with a high OVR commands a high price tag, and even if that is a great investment for the future, some clubs just don’t have the cash for such a transfer.
We’ve compiled a list of young players with high potential that won’t break the bank to sign. These players will generally begin career mode with lower OVR, but will eventually become world-class with enough game time.
