Anticipation for EA Sports FC 24 continues to grow with the release date in just over a month’s time, on 29 September.
Career Mode is the perfect mode for you to discover the next best talents, sign them for your team and turn them into one of the world’s best players.
EA Sports FC 24 Career Mode will be no different and this list of wonderkids could help you find your next club legend.
So which of these players under 20, will you be signing in your first Career Mode save?
EA FC 24 Wonderkids
With the ratings not yet released, these are our predictions for who the best wonderkids will be. We are basing this off our predictions for the potential as well as overall of each player.
To be a wonderkid they will need to be aged 19 or younger at the start of the season, so no more Buyako Saka or Jude Bellingham! Instead, a new generation of stars gets their shot at the top.
Gavi
Team: Barcelona
Position: Centre midfield
Predicted OVR/POT: 82/90
Undoubtedly the greatest U20 talent in world football right now. Gavi is a product of the La Masia Academy, famous for producing the likes of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Xavi, to name a few.
Featuring regularly for Barcelona over the past two seasons, the 19-year-old was instrumental in the Catalan side’s La Liga triumph in the 22/23 season.
Gavi is the perfect wonderkid and slots straight into any midfield on EA FC 24.
Antonio Silva
Team: Benfica
Position: Centre back
Predicted OVR/POT: 80/88
Antonio Silva’s growth over the past year has been huge. Silva has forced his way into an experienced Benfica backline and helped the Portuguese side win their first Primeira Liga title in four years.
The 19-year-old is physically strong, and once again could slot into any backline from the beginning of your Career Mode.
Linked with several of Europe’s elite clubs, Antonio Silva is destined for greatness and is another superb player for you to sign in Career Mode.
Rico Lewis (Manchester City, Right Back, Predicted OVR/POT, 74/87)
Team: Man City
Position: Right back
Predicted OVR/POT: 74/87
A treble winner at just 18 years of age, Rico Lewis has been a surprise package in Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side.
Relatively unknown to most Premier League fans, Lewis found his way into the history-making City side and has stayed there since.
Moukoko holds the record for being the youngest player to play in the Bundesliga and last season he scored seven goals in the competition.
At just 18 years of age, the Cameroon-born, German international has a lot of room to grow and his lightning speed and composed finishing could make him the perfect attacking option for your Career Mode save.
Alejandro Garnacho
Team: Man United
Position: Left wing
Predicted OVR/POT: 75/87
Another player that is destined for greatness is Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine had his breakout season last year, winning the Carabao Cup with the Red Devils – the first major trophy of his career.
The 19-year-old showed positive signs throughout the season, with his tricky wing play and speed and even grabbed three goals in the league, some in dramatic circumstances.
EA FC 24 will see Garnacho with a face scan and a likely upgrade to his rating and potential. Bound to be popular amongst many Career Mode players, can he lead your team to victory?
Endrick (Real Madrid, Striker, Predicted OVR/POT, 73/87)
Team: Real Madrid
Position: Striker
Predicted OVR/POT: 73/87
Real Madrid and Brazilian wonderkids go together like bacon and eggs. Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Casemiro, and Marcelo have all made the journey from the Brazilian Serie A to the Galacticos, with Endrick the next on that list.
The 17-year-old forward made his debut for Palmeiras in October 2022, becoming the youngest player to ever feature for the club, before quickly being snapped up by Real Madrid two months later, with an agreement in place that he will join the Spanish club when he turns 18.
Although it is likely that Endrick won’t be on EA FC 24 straight away, if he is added in an update in 2024, he will have a crazy high potential.
Giorgio Scalvini
Team: Atalanta
Position: Centre back
Predicted OVR/POT: 77/86
The new breed of Italian defenders is led by Giorgio Scalvini. Following in the footsteps of Maldini, Nesta, Chiellini, and Bonucci before him, the Atalanta player has a bright future ahead of him and is another great option for a Career Mode save.
At 19 years of age, Scalvini has made over 50 appearances in Serie A and helped the club achieve a fifth-place finish last season.
The youngster has also featured for Italy on the national stage and looks set to make the centre-back position his own for the next 15 years.
Evan Ferguson
Team: Brighton
Position: Striker
Predicted OVR/POT: 73/86
Brighton’s scouting system is unrivalled; however, Evan Ferguson is a product of the Brighton academy, unlike many of his teammates.
Standing at six feet and two inches, the Irishman is a brute force against many defenders and last season Ferguson scored six goals in 19 appearances for a Brighton side that reached the highest league finish in their history, earning European football for the first time.
His height and strength would cause AI defenders real problems, and his finishing ability is likely to have a huge boost in EA FC 24.
Evan Ferguson could be the perfect cheap striker option to guide your Career Mode team to glory.
Mathys Tel
Team: Bayern Munich
Position: Striker
Predicted OVR/POT: 73/86
Born in 2005, Mathys Tel was bought by Bayern Munich for 20 million euros last summer and featured 22 times in the Bavarian’s title-winning season, scoring five goals.
A very pacey striker, Tel could be meta in EA FC 24, especially as his rating rises and with Harry Kane in the squad to teach him, who knows what kind of player he can become.
The Frenchman is another valuable option and one to grow into one of the best in the world.
