FIFA 24, or EA Sports FC 24 as it's been confirmed to be named, is not far away.
The game promises to take things to the next level and bring about a host of new stars, with many of those stars turning out in the form of wonderkids.
Wonderkid, as we all pretty much know by now, are teenager stars with high potential that can easily become the best players in the game.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the young stars who could become the very best in FIFA 24.
FIFA 24 Wonderkids
Before we get into the list of the best wonderkids, we must first explain what makes a wonderkid in EA Sports FC 24 Career Mode.
To be classed as a wonderkid, each player in this list will be a teenager at the start of your Career Mode save.
There are plenty of promising young players coming through at the moment, but which ones will have the highest potential in this year's game and can become the best around?
Some of the big hitters from FIFA 23 - Jamal Musial, Pedri, Jude Bellingham and Florian Wirtz - will all have turned 20 by the time FC 24 is released, so there will be some new names to look out for!
Gavi (OVR 84 - POT 91)
At the top of the list is Barcelona and Spain international Gavi, who we think could gain a big upgrade in FC 24, which would see his potential increase too, from 89 POT to 91 POT.
Playing together with Pedri for club and country feels like watching a real-life regen of Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
Being an established part of both his club and the national team puts Gavi in a good sted to be the best wonderkid in the next title!
Youssoufa Moukoko (OVR 75 - POT 90)
Youssoufa Moukoko is a name that has been on the lips of football fans for some time now, and it's easy to see why!
He's lightning-fast, has great dribbling skills, and is a natural finisher in front of goal.
We expect him to gain a slight increase in potential in FC 24 and he will no doubt be a popular choice in Career Mode.
Alejandro Garnacho (OVR 76 - POT 89)
Already a divisive figure, Alejandro Garnacho has made his way out of the Manchester United academy and into the first team.
He is a technically gifted player who is comfortable on either wing, and his pace and skill on the ball make him a difficult player to defend against.
The Argentine has proved that he can do it on the big stage, with key involvements for United this season, so an increase in rating and potential is all but certain going into FC 24!
Rayan Cherki (OVR 73 - POT 88)
It feels like Rayan Cherki has been around for ages, but he will be just on the cusp of 20 years old at the start of FC 24.
He's a versatile attacking player who can play in a number of positions, and his dribbling skills and creativity make him a real threat in the final third.
We've been waiting for his career to really take off, could next season be the time it happens?
Rico Lewis (OVR 70 - POT 88)
He is still a raw talent, but there is no doubt that Rico Lewis has ample ability and, under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, could become top-class.
We've seen the trust put in him already at Manchester City, playing in that full-back-come-midfielder role which Joao Cancelo is so heavily associated with.
If he gets more game time this season and continues to put in good performances then EA will have to take note and may even give him a bigger upgrade than we are predicting!
More Exciting Wonderkids
The names above won't be the only stars that take FIFA 24 by storm, with a host of teenage talents also set to fight for the crown of star wonderkid.
