Best wonderkids in EA Sports FC 24 Career Mode

If you want to take a young star and develop them into something special in EA FC 24 Career Mode, it’s best to look at players under 24 years old as they tend to have the most potential. While some of these youngsters might not be first-team ready right away, they have plenty of years to grow.
