EA Sports FC 24 has a thriving internal economy to be aware of, and while you can just rely on big names while building your team, it can be an expensive proposition. That’s where the best new and young players with the greatest potential for growth can be the ace in your sleeve. This EA Sports FC 24 guide will list a few choice picks for you to review and determine if you want to add to your roster.
General Tips
- While you might be tempted to just go off of Overall ranking, keep in mind that is what determines cost as well, and untapped potential can still be found outside of that statistic.
- Also do not simply go for the absolute youngest of the lot, because there’s no telling how many seasons in you will be going, and whether you will see that potentiality fulfilled at all. Instead, carefully weigh age with general development and make a determination that way.
