Best young strikers & forwards in EA Sports FC 24: Wonderkid CFs & STs
Player Club Age PO CR PR Rasmus Hojlund Man Utd 20 ST 76 89 Elye Wahi Lens 20 ST, LM 78 88 Youssoufa Moukoko Borussia Dortmund 18 ST 77 87 Evan Ferguson Brighton 18 ST 74 86 Nelson Weiper Mainz 18 ST 66 86 Mathys Tel Bayern Munich 18 ST, LM, RM 71 86 Eliesse Ben Seghir Monaco 18 CF, ST 72 85 Alejo Veliz Tottenham 19 ST 75 85 Benjamin Sesko RB Leipzig 20 ST 75 85 Adam Hlozek Bayer Leverkusen 20 ST, CAM 77 85 Gift Orban Gent 20 ST 75 84 Giuliano Simeone Alaves 20 ST 72 84 Jason van Duiven PSV 18 ST 66 84 Norman Bassette Mechelen 18 ST 61 84 Rodrigo Ribeiro Sporting 18 ST 68 84 Deivid Washington Chelsea 18 ST, LW 67 84 Hakon Harnar Haraldsson Lille 20 CF, LM 70 83 With a potential rating of 89, Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund is considered to be the best young striker in EA Sports FC 24. However, if you are on the lookout for a younger, perhaps more affordable option, Borussia Dortmund's Youssoufa Moukoko and Brighton's Evan Ferguson are both 18 and have potential ratings of 87 and 86 respectively.
If you are starting out with a club that doesn't boast the financial muscle to sign the absolute top players, it may be worth looking to the Netherlands, Portugal, or Belgium for up-and-coming talent. Jason van Duiven of PSV starts with a rating of 66 but can rise to 84, while Mechelen's Norman Bassette is capable of an even bigger growth, from 61 to 84.
Nelson Weiper at Bundesliga club Mainz can potentially jump 20 rating points from 66 to 86 and could represent a bargain buy. Chelsea's Deivid Washington and Sporting's Rodrigo Ribeiro are capable of similar development, but may cost you a little more.

Best young midfielders in EA Sports FC 24: Wonderkid CAMs, RWs, LWs, CMs & CDMs
Player Club Age PO CR PR Jamal Musiala Bayern Munich 20 CAM, CM, LM 86 93 Pedri Barcelona 20 CM 86 92 Jude Bellingham Real Madrid 20 CM, CAM 86 91 Florian Wirtz Bayer Leverkusen 20 CM 85 91 Gavi Barcelona 18 CM, LW 83 90 Eduardo Camavinga Real Madrid 20 CDM, CM, LB 82 89 Xavi Simons RB Leipzig 20 CAM, LW, RW 79 89 Fabio Miretti Juventus 19 CM, CAM 75 88 Warren Zaire-Emery PSG 17 CM, CDM 75 88 Arda Guler Real Madrid 18 CAM, CM, RW 77 88 Tommaso Baldanzi Empoli 20 CAM, CF 77 87 Tom Bischof Hoffenheim 18 CAM 66 86 Noah Lahmadi Toulouse 18 CM, CDM 65 86 Roony Bardghji Copenhagen 17 RW 68 86 Romeo Lavia Chelsea 19 CDM 73 86 Angelo Strasbourg 18 RW, LW 69 86 Gianluca Prestianni Velez 17 RM, CAM, RW 70 86 Johan Bakayoko PSV 20 RW 75 86 Stefan Bajcetic Liverpool 18 CDM, CM 72 86 Arthur Vermeeren Antwerp 18 CDM, CM 72 85 Claudio Echeverri River Plate 17 CAM 64 85 Facundo Farias Inter Miami 20 CAM, CF 75 85 Heorhii Sudakov Shakhtar Donetsk 20 CAM, CM 75 85 Jamal Musiala has the highest potential rating of any midfielder in EA Sports FC, with the Bayern Munich CAM capable of reaching a rating of 93. The likes of Pedri, Jude Bellingham, and Florian Wirtz follow Musiala.
If you are looking for a bargain wonderkid, consider scouting Argentina, France and Belgium. River Plate's 17-year-old attacking midfielder Claudio Echeverri and Velez winger Gianluca Prestianni are highly rated and can reach the mid-to-high 80s.
Of course, there are other, more established wonderkid midfielders to consider too, such as Gavi, Xavi Simons, and Arda Guler, but, because of the clubs these players are at, they are a little less available to buy.

Best young defenders in EA Sports FC 24: Wonderkid CBs, LBs & RBs
Player Club Age PO CR PR Alejandro Balde Barcelona 19 LB, RB 81 89 Antonio Silva Benfica 19 CB 78 88 Arnau Martinez Girona 20 RB, RWB 80 87 Jorrel Hato Ajax 17 CB, LB 68 87 Destiny Udogie Tottenham 20 LB, LM 77 86 Rico Lewis Man City 18 RB, CDM 73 86 Giorgio Scalvini Atalanta 19 CB 75 86 Patrick Dorgu Lecce 18 LB 64 85 Ivan Fresneda Sporting 18 RB 72 85 Malo Gusto Chelsea 20 RB 76 85 Castello Lukeba RB Leipzig 19 CB 77 85 Milos Kerkez Bournemouth 19 LB 75 85 Bjorn Meijer Club Brugge 20 LB, LM, LWB 73 85 Jorne Spileers Club Brugge 18 CB 69 85 Leon King Rangers 19 CB 66 85 Ousmane Diamande Sporting 19 CB 75 85 Abakar Sylla Strasbourg 20 CB 70 84 Adamo Nagalo Nordsjaelland 20 CB 71 84 Max Johnston Sturm Graz 19 RWB, RB 66 84 Tino Livramento Newcastle United 20 RB 74 84 Valentin Barco Boca Juniors 18 LB, LM, LWB 71 84 Levi Colwill Chelsea 20 CB 74 84 Leandro Morgalla Red Bull Salzburg 18 CB, RB 66 84 Barcelona full-back Alejandro Balde is considered one of the best young defenders aged 20 or under in EA Sports FC 24. Capable of playing on both the left and the right of defence, Balde has a potential rating of 89 in the game.
Benfica's Antonio Silva is the best young CB under 20 years of age in the game, while Arnau Martinez is among the best RBs.
Patrick Dorgu at Lecce has a high ceiling and could represent a bargain signing in Career Mode, as could Jorrel Hato of Ajax if you can negotiate a deal early.
Leandro Morgalla of Red Bull Salzburg is very highly rated too and starts the game with a rating of 66 along with a potential of 84. The good thing about Morgalla is his versatility too, being able to fill in at right-back and centre-back.

Best young goalkeepers in EA Sports FC 24: Wonderkid GKs
Player Club Age PO CR PR Guillaume Restes Toulouse 18 GK 70 87 Bart Verbruggen Brighton 20 GK 75 85 Andre Gomes Benfica 18 GK 63 84 Dennis Seimen Stuttgart 17 GK 61 84 James Trafford Burnley 20 GK 71 84 Sebastiano Desplanches Palermo 20 GK 68 83 Jonas Urbig Greuther Furth 19 GK 66 82 Alane Bedfiane Bordeaux 18 GK 62 81 Aleksander Bobek Lodz 19 GK 65 81 Diego Callai Sporting 18 GK 65 81 Gabriel Slonina Eupen 19 GK 66 81 Gregoire Swiderski Bordeaux 17 GK 59 81 Goalkeepers tend to mature and reach their potential later in their careers, but there are a few precocious shot-stoppers worth considering in Career Mode in EA Sports FC 24.
Guillaume Restes at Toulouse is the GK with the highest potential under the age of 20, with Bart Verbruggen not far behind.
Andre Gomes at Benfica and Stuttgart netminder Dennis Seimen are younger options who may be a little more open to moving, particularly if you are managing a top team. Gomes can improve from a rating of 63 to 84m while Seimen has a similar ceiling, but starts the game with a lower rating.
However, there are bargains to be had as well, with Gregoire Swiderski, Diego Callai, and Aleksander Bobek offering plenty to think about for a manager of a lower-league team
