FC 25 Wonderkids: The Top Prospects in Career Mode

Every season Career Mode players go hunting for the best young talent in the game and this season these FC 25 wonderkids will be in high demand.

While major clubs are producing and purchasing elite prospects at a rapid rate, there are still some dotted around the smaller leagues that can be snapped up. Or you can just break the bank trying to pry these talented teenagers away from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

FC 25 Wonderkids

To be classed as an FC 25 wonderkid by us, 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 a horde 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 as well as this football game.

EA has published the starting ratings for FC 25 but has not released player potentials. As a result, we provide estimations of how players should be ranked by EA but they may not be accurate.

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 could be as high as 90 OVR, setting him up to be as good as Kevin de Bruyne in FC 25.

The Barcelona starlet was a late introduction to FC 24 due to his age, but now 17 and with the footballing world at his feet, Yamal is set to become one of the most iconic wonderkids in EA FC & FIFA history.

Warren Zaire-Emery

At just 18 years of age, Warren Zaire-Emery has made the CM position his own at PSG, making 74 appearances across the last two seasons and providing 11 goal contributions along the way.

The young Frenchman is expected to get an 80 OVR in FC 25 Career Mode and could top out with a 90 potential. Zaire-Emery has the potential to become one of the best midfielders in the game as he matures, and that should be reflected in FC 25.

Arda Guler

Various injury setbacks made it a challenging first season for Real Madrid's Arda Guler, but his talent remains undeniable and that's why he should be one of the best young players in FC 25.

Guler gets a 78 OVR in FC 25, and should have a potential as high as 90. 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.

Joao Neves

After running the show in midfield for Benfica last season, Joao Neves became one of the most sought-after talents in world football. PSG won the bidding war for the rising Portuguese star, and it didn't take long for Neves to cement himself in the Parisians midfield, with four assists in his first two games.

In FC 25, Neves has a 79 OVR, and his potential in career mode could hit 90.

Leny Yoro

Leny Yoro attracted interest from many of Europe's elite clubs but ended up signing with English giants Manchester United. Yoro has been one of the best wonderkids in world football for a year or two now. He starts FC 25 with a 78 OVR rating and should have a potential in the 88-90 range.

Showing glimpses of talent possessed by the likes of William Saliba and Wesley Fofana in their Saint-Etienne days, Yoro will be a popular pick in FC 25 and beyond.

More FC 25 Wonderkids

There won't just be five wonderkids worth looking at in FC 25, so we've included additional predictions below for some honorable mentions who we also think will be great fun to use in Career Mode.

Note: All players have been given the age they will be when FC 25 is released.

The list of wonderkids in FC 25 will be very long, and guiding clubs to glory with these players make for so much fun in Career Mode!

These upcoming superstars and hidden gems are the key to future Career Mode saves, and fans can't wait to try them out in FC 25.
