While EA's full attention remains on Ultimate Team as the Team of the Season promo continues, many players still prefer to manage an authentic club in Career Mode, and below we'll be taking a look at some of the very best FC 24 wonderkids.
Career Mode is the perfect place for you to discover up-and-coming talents, and following the release of a new Squad Update, there is an excellent selection of footballing prospects to sign up, so let's check them out!
Best wonderkids in FC 24
To be classed as a wonderkid in FC 24, the player must be aged 19 or younger at the start of the Career Mode save. So that means the likes of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, and Josko Gvardiol have now aged out of this list.
However, there are still plenty of elite rising talents to check out, and these are some of the very best in the game right now, based on potential.
Gavi (83 OVR - 90 POT)
Undoubtedly the greatest U20 talent in world football right now, Gavi is a product of the La Masia Academy, famous for producing the likes of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Xavi, to name a few. The majority of his in-game stats are all in the green, which tells you everything you need to know about his quality!
Warren Zaire-Emery (80 OVR - 90 POT)
PSG's young CM/CDM is next up. He's almost ready for the big time and is perfect for a mid-table side that needs a do-it-all midfielder. He's got 82 short passing, 81 ball control, 84 balance, 80 stand tackle, and 78 sprint speed to be a well-rounded player.
Alejandro Balde (81 OVR - 89 POT)
Barcelona managed to have the two best wonderkids in FC 24! Another home-grown product, Alejandro Balde is an electric left-back with 91 sprint speed, 90 acceleration, and 80 short pass. He's got a four-star weak foot too to help him cut in and participate in build-up play.
Savio (80 OVR - 88 POT)
Currently on loan to Girona, Savio is reportedly set to join Manchester City in the summer, and it's no wonder why. The young Brazilian possesses great technical ability and lightning speed in both real life and FC 24, with 86 dribbling and 87 sprint speed making him an incredibly tricky winger to deal with.
Joao Neves (77 OVR - 88 POT)
We're finally away from Barcelona, though maybe not for long! Benfica's CM Joao Neves is in for a big money move soon, as the giants of Europe reportedly have him in their sights. And it's not a surprise; the talented midfielder is brilliant, with 90 stamina, 82 reactions, and 80 short passing.
Arda Guler (77 OVR - 88 POT)
Real Madrid surprised everyone when they added Arda Guler to their already-stacked midfield, but it's not a surprise they wanted him. The Turkish creative force burst onto the scene last year, and in FC 24, he starts with 83 dribbling, 81 short pass, and 80 vision. It might be tough to sign him as he just moved but a loan isn't out of the question.
Vitor Roque (76 OVR - 88 POT)
One of the most talked about and highly anticipated additions to FC 24, it's safe to say the hype surrounding Vitor Roque is very real! The Brazilian forward joined Barcelona from Athletico Paranaense in January, where he scored 28 goals and assisted 11 more in 81 appearances. Arriving with 88 acceleration, 83 dribbling, 83 jumping, and 79 finishing, Roque has everything to become the star man up front.
Mathys Tel (75 OVR - 88 POT)
You would think having Harry Kane, Leroy Sane, and Serge Gnabry up top was enough for Bayern Munich, but Mathys Tel is making sure they have one of the most exciting attacks in the league. The young Frenchman has 14 goal contributions to his name so far this season and comes with 84 shot power, 79 dribbling, and 79 acceleration in FC 24.
Fabio Miretti (75 OVR - 88 POT)
Juventus may have dropped away in recent years, but their future is still bright, thanks to Fabio Miretti. The young Italian CM/CAM is a creative player, with 79 dribbling, 79 short pass, and 77 sprint speed. This along with a four-star weak foot makes him one of the most promising players in FC 24.
Jorrel Hato (73 OVR - 88 POT)
It's not a wonderkid list without an Ajax player on it, and Dutch CB/LB Jorrel Hato is the one. The 6'0" defender brings 86 jumping, 88 sprint speed, and 77 short pass to FC 24. It might be odd that his passing is better than any of his tackling, but he is an Ajax defender after all!
Of course, there aren't just ten prospects worth looking at. There are plenty more with high potential, and these are the ones closest to joining the wonderkids listed above.
RTG wonderkid targets
If you are starting at Arsenal or Real Madrid, then the likes of Gavi and Balde are players you can sign easily, but what if you're on the road to glory with Luton Town, FC Nurnberg, or elsewhere in the second tier? Here are some great wonderkids that you can still grab on a limited budget.
