Who are the best Career Mode wonderkids in EA FC 24?

One of the most enjoyable aspects of a Career Mode in EA FC 24 is finding out who the best wonderkids are, signing them early, and setting your squad up for years to come. 

Identifying wonderkids can be quite tricky though and requires adept scouting, but thankfully we've done the hard work for you and collated the top U21 players in the game that you can sign for your team today. So, check out the list below for all of the best wonderkids in EA FC 24, letting you deck out your Career Mode playthrough with the top U21 players of the future.

Best wonderkids in for Career Mode in EA FC 24 

Below are all the best wonderkids in EA FC 24 for each position. In each table, we will outline where they are currently playing as well as well as their potential in-game - with the highest potential players at the top. 

Best Goalkeeper wonderkids

Goalkeepers get better with age, but there are a few notable choices on the above list who will be able to secure their place in your squad quickly. Chevalier at Lille looks like a great signing, but it is worth remembering that players can exceed their potential if they perform and train well so they may always go higher.

Best Right Back wonderkids 

The right-back options have some cracking players like Martinez and Fresneda. Unfortunately, players like Lewis and Gusto will be hard to sign as they are at such established clubs - although every player on this list will set you up in that position for years.

Best Left Back wonderkids

Once again, the players who are already at established clubs are going to be incredibly difficult to sign - however, there are a few gems still on the list. Most notably, Kerkez who recently joined Bournemouth and Meijier at Brugge look like two exceptional young fullbacks, who you won't have to break the bank for.

Best Defensive Midfielder wonderkids

Defensive Midfielders have become a very valuable commodity in recent years with players like Rice and Caicedo going for fees exceeding £100 million. For that reason, you may need to search a little for a cheaper alternative or be willing to develop a player like Antwerps Vermeeren. Unfortunately, the top two players on the list will be near unobtainable but Ricci and Gray could be great additions to any midfield.

Best Central Midfielder wonderkids

The top two players on the list will be untouchable, unless of course, you start a save with Barcelona. Bringing Gabri Veiga back from Saudi Arabia could be a lot of fun and would set up your midfield for years, whilst the rest of the list also has some great players you could build your team around.

Realistically, you won't be signing anyone from the top 5 players on this list, but Tommaso Baldanzi from Empoli could be an absolute steal, has plenty of potential, and is already good enough to start. Outside of that, El Khannouss will also be a great addition. If you can afford someone from the top of the list though it is hard to look past Wirtz and Xavi Simons, despite the sheer potential of both Musiala and Bellingham.

Best Left Winger wonderkids

The above list of players should have something for everyone, with all of the players except for Garnacho being very obtainable. For me, if I was looking for a left winger I would go for either Nusa or Savoy - both players offer a lot including blistering pace, which really helps to drag teams wide.

Best Striker wonderkids

The list of top striker wonderkids will improve any frontline and will no doubt bag plenty of goals once you start playing them. My favourite player on the list is Brighton's Evan Ferguson who is already scoring plenty of goals as a complete striker. If you want a very physical striker, then Benjamin Seiko will be your best bet as his height of 6'4" will bully pretty much any defence.

Much like the left-wingers, there are plenty of great players you can pick up. Roony Bardghji is already setting the world on fire in Denmark and will be a household name in a few years, whilst Bakayoko and Nuamah should be very affordable options for the right-hand side.
