Best Talents In EA FC 24: Young Players With Highest Potential

EA Sports FC 24's Career Mode has been enhanced with several new features that add depth to the game, but the primary goal remains the same: to lead our favorite clubs to glory. Our goal is to build an elite squad of top players, dominate domestic leagues, and consistently win the Champions League.

To do this, it's important to scout for young, talented players who have the potential to improve their ratings significantly. Securing these promising talents early on can be a strategic move, as it allows you to tailor their training, improve their key attributes, and develop them into the best players in their positions. By carefully managing their growth, your players may even exceed their expected potential and eventually win the Ballon D'Or.

Since your squad should be filled with real-life rising stars and not just random youth players from scouting, we've compiled the complete list of the best talents in EA FC 24 for every position. Check out all the new ratings and potentials after the first Title Updates and patches in EA FC 24.

February Update

Best Talents For Career Mode In EA FC 24: Highest Ratings & Potentials

You might know the procedure from our best talents in FIFA 23. We have set criteria for EA FC 24 talents to meet in order to make the list:

• Players cannot be older than 22 when starting a new career.
  
• Players must have a potential of 85 or higher
• The Overall Rating (OVR) must increase by at least five points (unless it increases above 86)

We've sorted these talents by their primary position, starting with goalkeepers and moving through all positions to forwards. You can also find the current market value of these players, so you can get an idea of the budget required to sign them. Just scroll to the right in our lists if you can't see the leagues or values (especially if you're on your phone).

If a player's club is followed by (L.) or (N.), it means that the player is either on loan or a new signing. As such, they cannot be added to your club in the first year, but you may want to check on them again in the winter or at the beginning of the second season.

EA FC 24 GK Talents: Best Goalkeepers For Career Mode

Elia Caprile has replaced Maarten Vandevoordt on the list after Vandevoordt was downgraded to 84 potential. However, we still recommend him as the top choice for your number 1 goalkeeper (21 years old, 75 OVR, with a market value of 11 million) due to his height of 6'4".

Turning to Spain and La Liga's surprise team of the moment, FC Girona, we find more additions. Miguel Gutiérrez and Yan Couto are both new additions to the top talent. Spaniard Alex Jimenez (on loan from Real to Milan) is an affordable addition. He can be found at the bottom of the list.
