FIFA 19 Career Mode: Best cheap high potential left wingers (LW) and midfielders (LM)


Wingers can be extremely destructive and influential from an early age. The likes of Neymar, Ousmane Dembele, and Thomas Lemar have torn defences apart at the start of their career and made big money moves because of their talents. Not every team can afford to wait and see who develops and then splash the cash to sign them though. Most need to take the leap beforehand and develop their own star wingers.

How to choose the best cheap high potential left wingers (LWs) and midfielders (LMs) in FIFA 19 Career Mode

Here we are looking at the best cheap high potential left wingers (LWs) and left midfielders (LMs) in FIFA 19's career mode. These are players with the potential to hit at least 80 overall and can be signed for less that £5 million, making them available for nearly every team without breaking the bank. These are players you can develop into high class left-sided players.

For a full list of ALL the best cheap high potential left wingers (LWs) and left midfielders (LMs) see the table at the bottom of this page

expand image

Age: 17

Positions: LM, CM

Club: Nantes

Country: France

Work rate: High/Medium

Best stats: 69 short pass, 69 acceleration, 69 ball control

Cost: £2 million (release clause)

Wage: £2,000 a week

Abdoulaye Dabo joined Nantes in 2014 and had risen through their youth system to break into the senior squad this season. He has also risen in France's ranks, winning 10+ caps at U16 and U17 level before making the under-18 team this year.

In FIFA 19 Dabo is very much a work in progress. He doesn't have a single stat over 70, but his 69 short passing, 69 acceleration and 69 ball control should encourage you enough to make a move. They will grow as the 17-year-old's 63 overall rises to an 87 potential, meaning he will cost £2 million and wages of £2,000 a week.

Hudson-Odoi is a good athlete (84 acceleration, 82 sprint speed) and has strong ball skills already (74 dribbling, 70 ball control). £3.9 million will get you the England U17 World Cup winner, with wages starting at £28,000 a week.
