EA Sports FC 25 best young players: Top wonderkid strikers, midfielders, defenders & goalkeepers on Career Mode

Real Madrid striker Endrick is by some distance the best young striker in EA Sports FC 25. The Brazil international, who is hotly tipped for a bright future in the game, has 91 potential - that's three more than the next best, Semih Kilicsoy and Mathys Tel. What's more is that Endrick's starting rating is 77, meaning he is well able to make an immediate impact at just 18 years of age, but the fact that he is on the books at Real Madrid already means that he will not be cheap.

Cercle Brugge's Paris Brunner or Besiktas forward Mustafa Erhan Hekimoglu are decent alternatives with potential ratings of 87 and 86 respectively, while River Plate's Argentinian youngster Augustin Ruberto is a decent option for a mid-level team.

There are plenty of familiar faces on the list, such as Evan Ferguson and Youssoufa Moukoko, who still boast high potential ratings.

With a potential rating of 94, Lamine Yamal is destined to be one of the best players in EA Sports FC 25. The Barcelona wonderkid's potential rivals that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, even if he isn't overly happy about his current rating.

Warren Zaire-Emery and Arda Guler follow Yamal in the high-potential department, but, given that they are already first-teamers at PSG and Real Madrid, you will only be able to sign these guys if you're in charge of a world-class club with lots of cash.

South American youngsters Franco Mastantuono, Claudio Echeverri and Kendry Paez are definitely worth a look, as are Sporting's Giovany Quenda and Real Betis' Assane Diao Diaoune.

Barcelona have no shortage of top defensive talent, with the likes of Alejandro Balde and Pau Cubarsi among the highest-potential defenders in EA Sports FC 25.

Along with Cubarsi, established names such as Giorgio Scalvini and Antonio Silva are among the best young centre-backs in the game, with Manchester United's Lenny Yoro up there too.

Keep your eye on Man Utd's Harry Amass, a high-potential left-back, while most of us will be familiar with Rico Lewis at Manchester City at this stage. Luka Vuskovic, meanwhile, has been touted to follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Josko Gvardiol and become one of the best defenders in world football.

Goalkeepers tend to mature at a later age than players in other positions, but there are plenty of bright young shot-stoppers worth buying in EA Sports FC 25.

Guillaume Restes is still the pick of the bunch and his potential has gone up to 88 in FC 25. Stuttgart's Dennis Seimen is the next best young goalkeeper, with Mike Penders and Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro following.
