FIFA 20 Career Mode: Top 10 Wonderkid Strikers (ST & CF) to buy - Joao Felix, Kean & more

The only adage says you are only as good as your strikers, so make sure you plan ahead on FIFA 20 Career Mode.

In this piece we look at the best wonderkid strikers featuring in FIFA 20's Career Mode – these players are aged between 16-19 at the start of your managerial journey and have the highest potentials of teenagers on the game.

Note that these players can outgrow their potentials if they consistently put in excellent performances, and if club morale stays at good level by completing objectives.

Joao Felix (OVR 80 – POT 93)

Age: 19

Positions: CF, ST

Club: Atletico Madrid

Work rate: High/Medium

Best stats: 85 Sprint Speed, 83 Agility, 82 Dribbling

Value: £25.2 million (Release clause: £67.4 million)

Wage: £34,000 a week

Considered by Benfica to be one of the most promising
players from their youth ranks, Joao Felix tops our list with a staggering
POT rating of 93 (which is Cristiano Ronaldo’s rating this year, for
comparison).

While operating primarily a centre forward, new £113 million Atletico Madrid man Felix has also been deployed either as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder thanks to his impressive statistics. His 85 Sprint Speed, 84 Positioning, 82 Dribbling and 82 Long Shots are just some of the problems that Felix will cause trouble for opposition defences.

Moise Kean (OVR 76 – POT 89)

Age: 19

Positions: ST

Club: Everton

Country: Italy

Work rate: Medium/Medium

Best stats: 82 Sprint Speed, 80 Acceleration, 78

Moise Kean is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Everton and the Italy national team. He started his career with Juventus in 2016, winning a domestic double in his first season with the club.

The Italy international is yet to score for the Premier League club, but with 82 sprint speed, 80 acceleration and 78 positioning - he will be worth the £33 million move.

Mason Greenwood (OVR 67 – POT 87)

Age: 17

Positions: CF, RM, ST

Club: Manchester United

Country: England

Work rate: Medium/ Medium

Best stats: 76 Acceleration, 76 Sprint Speed, 73 Agility

Right now, the 17-year-old Mason Greenwood is one of the few
rays of light in a troubled start to the season for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer,
and may be one of United’s only strikers fit enough to start against Arsenal.

Greenwood’s most impressive stats are his acceleration,
sprint speed and agility, though he is also known for playing well off the
shoulder of defenders and attempting long runs. His potential upside of 87
makes Greenwood one of the most valuable youngsters in FIFA this year.

Jan Hurtado (OVR 70 – POT 86)

Age: 19

Positions: ST

Club: Buenos Aires (Boca Juniors)

Country: Venezuela

Work rate: High/Low

Best stats: 85 Acceleration, 81 Sprint Speed, 76 Penalties

Value: £ 3.5 million (£7 million release clause)

Wage: £7,000 a week

Jan Hurtado looks set to be a member of the next wave of talented youngsters in football. Born in Venezuela, the 19-year-old attacker spent the 2018/19 campaign playing football in Argentina, after joining Gimnasia.

The 19-year-old can be yours for just £7 million, and would be a great signing for a 4 star team on Career Mode.

Jonathan David (OVR 74 – POT 87)

Age: 19

Positions: CF, ST, CAM

Club: KAA Gent

Country: Canada

Work rate: Medium/Medium

Best stats: 83 Sprint Speed, 80 Jumping, 79 Finishing

Value: £9.5 million (Release Clause: £20.1 million)

Wage: £11,000 a week

Across the pond, a young talent has emerged by the name of
Jonathan David, who signed by Belgian side Gent in January 2018. In his first
full season at the club, we saw that his main contribution in terms of output
was his goals, grabbing 12 in under 24 matches.

With a Sprint Speed rating of 83 and other impressive
movement stats, opposition defences will struggle to keep David from causing
trouble. His potential rating of 87 tells us that this player will continue to
improve as the season progresses, making him a valuable member of any Career
mode squad.

Amine Gouiri (OVR 68 – POT 86)

Age: 19

Positions: ST

Club: Lyon

Country: France

You may have heard of Amine Gouiri, with the 19-year-old Frenchman featuring 10 times for Lyon last season.

The young striker uses his acceleration and pace to his advantage and likes to shoot on sight. His future is bright and full of goals. You'd be foolish not to move for him, with a release clause at just £4.4 million.

Myron Boadu (OVR 67 – POT 85)

Age: 18

Positions: ST

Club: AZ Alkmaar

Country: Netherlands

Work rate: High/Medium

Best stats: 84 Acceleration, 82 Sprint Speed, 82 Jumping

Value: £3.3 million (Release clause: £7.1 million)

Wage: £2,000 per week

Boadu’s pace and anticipation are the young Dutchman’s main assets. The forward is also a great finisher in the box with both feet and uses his quick feet, close-control and dribbling on the wing to cause danger to the opposition.

Myron Boadu has the potential to be the biggest breakout
player in this season’s Eredivisie. Can the AZ forward fulfill his promise
after a year out due to injury?

Pietro Pellegri (OVR 67– POT 86)

Age: 18

Positions: ST

Club: Monaco

Country: Italy

Work rate: Medium / Medium
