Best young players explained
Although the official player ratings are yet to be revealed, EA always looks to reflect a player’s real-life potential when deciding their Career Mode stats. So, we can still look at the youngsters who have stood out in the last 12 months to predict who will be EA FC 25’s best wonderkids in each position.
In many cases, these are similar to last year’s stars, as there are plenty of big names like Jude Bellingham who have made a name for themselves despite being early into their career. Meanwhile, others are more unknown but have been making waves at their respective clubs, such as Yan Couto or Vitor Roque.
As a general rule, you’ll want to sign players who are 23 or under to get the most out of them in Career Mode. These are the years that they develop quickest, so an 80-rated striker who’s just 20 years old could blossom into a world-beater in just a few seasons.
It’s worth keeping in mind that these are all just predictions based on the players that are getting hyped in the world of football. We’ll be sure to update this page with a comprehensive list of the best young players in EA FC 25, along with their ratings and potential, as soon as we get our hands on the game.
