Toulouse shot-stopper Guillaume Restes has the highest-rated potential of any wonderkid goalkeeper in EA Sports FC 24.

The 17-year-old has a potential rating of 87, which is the highest of any goalkeeper currently aged under 23. His base rating in EA FC 24 Career Mode is 70, meaning he is able to increase by an incredible 17 ratings.

EA Sports FC 24, which has rebranded from its famous title of 'FIFA', is the first game that will see male and female footballers in the same game mode, with players able to use both men and women in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team.

However, while female players have been added to Ultimate Team in a historic moment in football video game history, they will not be available for use in the popular Career Mode.

Career Mode will remain focused on the men’s game, with EA FC players able to choose a player career or a manager career as usual. Career Mode was one of the most popular game modes in FIFA and it’s expected to have a similar level of interest in EA FC 24.

As always, players will strive to develop their team and watch young stars reach their potential.

Each year, players are given a ‘potential’ rating in Career Mode to go alongside their regular rating in Kick Off and Ultimate Team. This makes Career Mode a unique experience as EA FC 24 players are able to see young stars increase in rating every season.

Restes leads the way for goalkeeper potential, but he is not the only young shot-stopper with the ability to grow in rating in EA FC 24 Career Mode.

Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili (86) has the second-highest potential rating of any goalkeeper aged under 23 in EA FC 24, closely followed by Bart Verbruggen, Anatoliy Trubin and Maarten Vandevoordt (all 85).

Andre Gomes, Andrew, James Trafford, Elia Caprile and Lucas Chevalier all have a potential rating of 84 in EA FC 24. Stuttgart’s Dennis Seimen also has 84 potential, but he missed out on the top 10 by virtue of his 61 base rating.
