Career Mode is expected to be extremely popular as usual, and EA have even included transfer expert Fabrizio Romano into the game in order to add another layer to the experience.

EA FC 25 players will be able to launch a ‘Manager Career’ or a ‘Player Career’ in Career Mode, with the former typically far more popular than the latter.

As always, 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 25 players are able to see young stars increase in rating every season.

Therefore, finding young hidden gems is a crucial important aspect of Career Mode every year, especially if you decide to take charge of a team with a small transfer budget.

Below, FootballTransfers lists the best Career Mode wonderkids on EA FC 25, as ranked by their potential rating. The only rules are that they must have an initial overall rating of 70 or below and be aged 21 or younger.

Geovany Quenda has the highest potential of any U21 player with an overall base rating of 70 or less on EA FC 25.

The Sporting CP winger has already received his first senior Portugal call-up and he has been widely tipped to become one of the most exciting players in European football within the next few years.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid target Franco Mastantuono has 87 potential on EA FC 25 Career Mode, but he starts as a 69 rated player and is therefore a fantastic pick-up as an all-round midfielder.

Meanwhile, Harry Amass may be the best bargain on Career Mode. The Manchester United left-back has a base rating of just 60, however his potential stands at 85, meaning he could become one of the best defenders in Europe.

Ethan Nwaneri, Kenan Yildiz and Sverre Nypan are also among the excellent options on Career Mode this year.
