Best young players in FC 26 Career Mode
As well as him, here is the full list of the top 10 best wonderkids in FC 26:
Endrick: Age 18 | Real Madrid | ST | 77 OVR | 91 POTDean Huijsen: Age 20 | Real Madrid | CB | 82 OVR | 89 POTKenan Yıldız: Age 20 | Juventus | CAM, LM, LW, CM | 79 OVR | 89 POTNico Paz: Age 20 | Como | CAM, CM | 79 OVR | 89 POTJorrel Hato: Age 19 | Chelsea | LB, CB | 78 OVR | 89 POTArda Güler: Age 20 | Real Madrid | RM, CAM, RW | 81 OVR | 89 POTGavi: Age 20 | FC Barcelona | CM, CAM | 83 OVR | 89 POTEstêvão: Age 18 | Chelsea | RM, CAM, RW | 78 OVR | 89 POTRodrigo Mora: Age 18 | FC Porto | CAM, LW, ST | 76 OVR | 89 POTJorthy Mokio: Age 17 | Ajax | CDM, CM, LB, CB | 70 OVR | 89 POTWe've defined wonderkids as players who are under 21, which is why some big names like Cole Palmer, Pedri and Jude Bellingham don't feature.
Many players are going to be too expensive for all but the very richest clubs, which is why we've excluded a few – the likes of Lamine Yamal, Désiré Doué and João Neves, for example.
Unsurprisingly, the list is dominated by attacking talent, with little room for defenders and goalkeepers. That's why you can scroll down for our lists of the best wonderkids for each position.
Best young strikers in FC 26
Francesco Camarda: Age 17 | Lecce | ST | 65 OVR | 87 POTMathys Tel: Age 20 | Tottenham | ST, LW, CAM | 77 OVR | 86 POTEli Junior Kroupi: Age 19 | AFC Bournemouth | ST | 74 OVR | 85 POTConrad Harder: Age 20 | RB Leipzig | ST, CAM, LW, CM | 74 OVR | 85 POTCharalampos Kostoulas: Age 18 | Brighton | ST, CAM, RM | 72 OVR | 85 POTMarc Guiu: Age 20 | Chelsea | ST | 71 OVR | 84 POTFrancesco Pio Esposito: Age 20| Lombardia FC (Inter Milan) | ST | 72 OVR | 84 POTJerónimo Domina: Age 19 | Unión de Santa Fe | ST | 70 OVR | 84 POTNelson Weiper: Age 20 | 1. FSV Mainz 05 | ST, CAM, CM | 70 OVR | 84 POTChido Obi: Age 17 | Manchester United | ST | 65 OVR | 84 POT
The most important thing for a striker is to be able to bang in goals for your team, and while some of these players may require some training, all of them have the potential to do that for teams of any budget.
Francesco Camarda is the pick of the bunch here. While his starting OVR of only 65 is low, this makes him the perfect signing for a smaller club on a long-term save. Over time, he has the potential to grow 19 points, finishing on a whopping 87 OVR, placing him as one of the best in the world.
For more ready-made options, the likes of Leipzig's Conrad Harder or Brighton's Charalampos Kostoulas are some great choices that won't break the bank.
Best young wingers in FC 26
Geovany Quenda: Age 18 | Sporting CP | RM, LM, LW, RW | 76 OVR | 88 POTAntonio Nusa: Age 20 | RB Leipzig | LM, CAM, LW | 76 OVR | 88 POTRio Ngumoha: Age 16 | Liverpool | LM, LW | 68 OVR | 88 POTAssane Diao: Age 19 | Como | LM, RM, LW | 76 OVR | 87 POTEthan Nwaneri: Age 18 | Arsenal | RW, CM, RM | 76 OVR | 87 POTJulien Duranville: Age 19 | Borussia Dortmund | RM, LM, ST, RW | 72 OVR | 87 POTPablo Garcia: Age 18 | Real Betis | RM, ST, LM, RW | 68 OVR | 87 POTMaher Carrizo: Age 19 | Vélez Sarsfield | RM, CAM, ST, RW | 72 OVR | 86 POTLeo Sauer: Age 19 | Feyenoord | LW, CAM, LM | 72 OVR | 86 POTChemsdine Talbi: Age 20 | Sunderland | RM, LM, RW | 73 OVR | 86 POT
Having pacey players who can whip in a cross or cut inside is a blessing in FC 26, and some of these players are excellent choices who will regularly chip in with goals and assists.
Further down the list, we have some excellent young picks in the form of Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha, Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri and Real Betis's Pablo Garcia, all of whom have a high POT for anyone willing to put in the work to develop them.
Best young midfielders in FC 26
Franco Mastantuono: Age 17 | Real Madrid | CAM, RW, ST | 77 OVR | 88 POTLucas Bergvall: Age 19 | Tottenham | CM, CDM, CAM | 77 OVR | 87 POTWarren Zaïre-Emery: Age 19 | Paris Saint-Germain | CM, CDM, CAM | 80 OVR | 87 POTKees Smit: Age 19 | AZ Alkmaar | CAM, CM, RM | 72 OVR | 87 POTArthur Vermeeren: Age 20 | Marseille (on loan from RB Leipzig) | CM, CDM, CAM | 77 OVR | 87 POTAyyoub Bouaddi: Age 17 | Lille | CM, CDM | 75 OVR | 86 POTLewis Miley: Age 19 | Newcastle | CM | 72 OVR | 86 POTArchie Gray: Age 19 | Tottenham | CDM, CB, RB, RM | 75 OVR | 86 POTSverre Nypan: Age 18 | Middlesbrough (on loan from Manchester City) | CM, CAM, ST | 69 OVR | 86 OVRPaul Wanner: Age 19 | PSV | CAM, RW, CM | 72 OVR | 86 POTTom Bischof: Age 20 | Bayern Munich | CM, CDM, RM, CAM | 76 OVR | 86 POTMario Stroeykens: Age 20 | Anderlecht | CM, CAM | 74 OVR | 86 POTLennart Karl: Age 17 | Bayern Munich | CAM, RM, CM | 63 OVR | 86 POTChristos Mouzakitis: Age 18 | Olympiakos | CM, CAM | 71 OVR | 86 POTKonstantinos Karetsas: Age 17 | Genk | CAM, RW, CM | 70 OVR | 86 POT
There are so many excellent players to choose from in the centre of the park, with every budget covered.
As your budget decreases, things become more interesting. Lennart Karl offers excellent value for money, and you could even have yourself a Greek midfield pairing of Christos Mouzakitis and Konstantinos Karetsas, the latter of which is tipped for very great things, indeed.
Best young full-backs in FC 26
Givairo Read: Age 19 | Feyenoord | RB, RM | 75 OVR | 88 POTMyles Lewis-Skelly: Age 18 | Arsenal | LB, CM | 78 OVR | 87 POTLewis Hall: Age 20 | Newcastle | LB | 80 OVR | 86 POTJoaquin Seys: Age 20 | Club Brugge | RB, LB, RM | 73 OVR | 86 POTDiego León: Age 18 | Manchester United | LB, LM | 64 OVR | 85 POTMartim Fernandes: Age 19 | FC Porto | RB, RM | 75 OVR | 85 POTJosh Acheampong: Age 19 | Chelsea | RB, CB, CDM, RM | 70 OVR | 85 POTElias Baum: Age 19 | Eintracht Frankfurt | RB, RM | 72 OVR | 84 POTPatrick Dorgu: Age 20 | Manchester United | LB, LM | 74 OVR | 84 POTSemm Renders: Age 17 | Royal Antwerp | RB, RM | 62 OVR | 84 POT
Even going back to the FIFA days, EA FC has always had a bit of an issue with young full-backs, with very few of them ever having much potential to grow – that's the same this year, as you can tell.
On the cheaper end of the spectrum, Diego León and Semm Renders will get you coverage on both flanks, all for a couple million quid – not too shabby, eh?
Best young centre-backs in FC 26
Pau Cubarsi: Age 18 | FC Barcelona | CB | 82 OVR | 88 POTFinn Jeltsch: Age 18 | VfB Stuttgart | CB | 72 OVR | 87 POTLuka Vušković: Age 18 | Hamburg | CB | 72 OVR | 87 POTEl Chadaille Bitshiabu: Age 20 | RB Leipzig | CB | 75 OVR | 87 POTPietro Comuzzo: Age 20 | Fiorentina | CB | 74 OVR | 86 POTLeny Yoro: Age 19 | Manchester United | CB | 78 OVR | 86 POTYarek: Age 20 | PSV | CB, LB | 73 OVR | 85 POTPau Navarro: Age 20 | Villareal CF | CB, RB CM | 70 OVR | 85 POTJan-Carlo Simić: Age 20 | Al-Ittihad | CB | 70 OVR | 85 POTTobías Ramírez: Age 18 | Argentinos Juniors | CB | 69 OVR | 85 POT
Pau Cubarsi may be small (he's a growing lad, after all), but Barca's diminutive centre-back tops out our list of the best young CBs with an excellent 88 POT.
If you've looking for a player with more first-team potential from the get-go, however, then you probably want to look at the likes of Manchester United's Leny Toro or RB Leipzig's El Chadaille Bitshiabu instead.
Best young goalkeepers in FC 26
Guillaume Restes: Age 20 | Toulouse FC | GK | 78 OVR | 86 POTMatthieu Epolo: Age 20 | Standard Liège | GK | 73 OVR | 85 POTRome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro: Age 20 | AZ Alkmaar | GK | 71 OVR | 84 POTDennis Seimen: Age 19 | SC Paderborn (on loan from VfB Stuttgart) | GK | 66 OVR | 84 POTMike Penders: Age 19 | RC Strasbourg (on loan from Chelsea) | GK | 73 OVR | 84 POTJames Beadle: Age 19 | Birmingham City (on loan from Brighton) | GK | 70 OVR | 82 POTRobin Risser: Age 20 | RC Lens | GK | 72 OVR | 82 POTLucca Brughmans: Age 17 | Genk | GK | 59 OVR | 82 POTEwen Jaouen: Age 19 | Stade de Reims | GK | 68 OVR | 82 POTTiago Pereira Cardoso: Age 19 | Borussia Mönchengladbach | GK | 67 OVR | 82 POT
Just like with the full-backs, there really aren't very many good options for wonderkids in the goalkeeping department.
Standard Liège's Matthieu Epolo might be a better choice, if you want to save a few bob, but if you're really strapped for cash, Lucca Brughmans of Genk is the perfect choice, but be aware that even at his peak, he'll still never be a truly world-class goalkeeper for you.
Best cheap young players in FC 26 with high potential: Hidden gems
That's why we've put together a list of some more budget-friendly players who would be perfect signings for a Championship-level team looking to gain promotion, who can grow alongside your team as it moves up the world.
Bailey Rice: Age 17 | Rangers | CDM, CM | 61 OVR | 83 POTFrancis Onyeka: Age 18 | VfL Bochum | CAM, CM | 60 OVR | 83 POTLouis Page: Age 16 | Leicester City | CM, CDM, CAM | 61 OVR | 83 POTHugo Pinilla: Age 19 | Real Zaragoza | RM, CAM, LM, RW | 62 OVR | 83 POTKaye Furo: Age 18 | Club Brugge | ST | 63 OVR | 83 POTMofe Jemide: Age 18 | Crystal Palace | CB | 62 OVR | 83 POTDylan Leonard: Age 17 | Western United FC | CB | 63 OVR | 83 POTNathan De Cat: Age 16 | Anderlecht | CDM, CM | 63 OVR | 83 POTArturo: Age 18 | UD Las Palmas | RW, LW, RM | 63 OVR | 83 POTJuan David Obando: Age 18 | Atlético Nacional | CAM, CM | 60 OVR | 82 POTThat's especially true of many of the under-18 players, such as Bailey Rice of Rangers, Louis Page of Leicester City and Nathan De Cat of Anderlecht.
These players would be great signings for a mid-table or bottom-half EFL Championship team, as they'll make decent squad players, eventually developing into first-team stars who can hopefully carry you into the Premier League in the long run, at which point you'll have the transfer budget to upgrade.
Best young women to sign in FC 26

Vicky López: Age 18 | FC Barcelona | CAM, RW, CM, ST | 80 OVR | 91 POTGiulia Dragoni: Age 18 | Roma (on loan from FC Barcelona) | CAM, RW, CM, ST | 80 OVR | 91 POTSydney Schertenleib: Age 18 | FC Barcelona | CAM, CM, LW, ST | 74 OVR | 89 POTOlivia Smith: Age 20 | Arsenal | ST, RM, CAM | 79 OVR | 89 POTMichelle Agyemang: Age 19 | Brighton (on loan from Arsenal) | ST | 76 OVR | 89 POTLily Yohannes: Age 18 | OL Lyonnes | CM | 73 OVR | 88 POTWieke Kaptein: Age 19 | Chelsea | CM | 78 OVR | 88 POTAlyssa Thompson: Age 20 | Chelsea | LM, RM, LW | 81 OVR | 88 POTClara Serrajordi: Age 17 | FC Barcelona | CM, CAM, CDM | 65 OVR | 88 POTAlara Şehitler: Age 18 | Bayern Munich | RM, CAM, RW | 73 OVR | 87 POTBut if you aren't managing a financial powerhouse, we recommend trying to poach Clara Serrajordo from Barcelona for her sky-high growth potential of 23.
Other more budget-friendly options would be Lily Johannes from Lyonnes and Alara Şehitler from Bayern Munich, though anyone on this list would be an incredible signing for your team in the long run.
