Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer from FC 25

The hunt for FC 25 wonderkids is at the core of any career mode save. As major clubs start hoarding elite talent it can be harder and harder for small clubs to compete. That's why finding the next generation of stars is crucial.

There are plenty of options for you to sign, so knowing how high the ceiling of a player is will help you make the right choices with your transfer budget.

FC 25 Wonderkids

To be classed as an FC 25 wonderkid, players must be 19 or younger at the start of career mode. So that means the likes of Jude Bellingham, Jamal Musiala, and Alejandro Balde have now aged out of this category.

Fortunately, there is an army of elite young talents following in their footsteps, and FC 25 is home to some of the most exciting prospects in the world of football.

If you are not starting at Arsenal, Bayern Munich, or Barcelona then getting your hands on the very best wonderkids at the start of career mode will be impossible. We've put together a list of low OVR wonderkids that can step into a League One side and help you climb the pyramid as they develop.

Otherwise, these are the very best FC 25 wonderkids!

Lamine Yamal

Following an incredible season with both club and country, expectations are off the charts for Lamine Yamal, both in real life and FC 25.

Barcelona's rising star begins with an 81 OVR in FC 25, and his potential is set at a dazzling 94. That puts him in peak Messi/Ronaldo territory.

Lamine Yamal

The Barcelona starlet was a late introduction to FC 24 due to his age, but he now has the virtual world at his feet. Yamal is set to become one of the most iconic wonderkids in EA FC and FIFA history.

Endrick

The next Brazilian sensation has finally arrived at Real Madrid. Endrick has been highly touted for a long time, and he hits FC 25 with a 77 OVR at just 17 years old.

His potential is massive though, the RW/ST may have his playing time limited by Kylian Mbappe's arrival, but with 91 potential he could be as good as the Frenchman one day.

Warren Zaire-Emery

Warren Zaire-Emery is just 18 but he has made the CM position his own at PSG, making 74 appearances across the last two seasons and providing 11 goal contributions.

The young Frenchman has an 80 OVR in FC 25 with a 90 potential. Zaire-Emery has the potential to become one of the best midfielders in the game as he matures in FC 25.

Arda Guler

Various injury setbacks made it a tough transition at Real Madrid for Arda Guler, but his talent remains undeniable and that's why he is a star wonderkid in FC 25.

Guler gets a 78 OVR in FC 25, and has a 90 potential. This would make Guler one of the most promising central attacking midfielders in career mode, however convincing Real Madrid to part ways with him won't be easy.

Gavi

The Barcelona midfielder burst onto the scene a few years ago, but injuries derailed his 23/24 campaign. However, Gavi is still just 19 years old and ultra-talented.

The midfield maestro starts with an 83 OVR and has a 90 potential to be yet another La Masia masterpiece.
