What kind of players are they? In the Career Mode of EA FC 25, signing young, talented players with a lot of potential is particularly appealing.

- At most 21 years old
- The potential to reach an overall rating of at least 85
With these criteria, we found a total of 14 players that we will briefly introduce here.
