FIFA 23 features a range of young talent from around the soccer world, and players can purchase these superstars early in Career Mode to build a strong squad. Most young players cost less on the Transfer Market than well-established superstars from popular clubs. Building your squad around these young players is ideal if you are starting with a club with a low Transfer Budget. Similarly, players looking to rebuild their favorite teams can rely on these younger players as they tend to grow to their full potential over the seasons. Search for these players as soon as you start a session in Career Mode, and make sure to scout them.

The trick with developing young players in Career Mode is to realize their strengths and select the appropriate training development for them. For instance, Phil Foden is a brilliant Left Winger who can also play as a CAM and CF. Therefore, training his Shooting, Passing, and Pace attributes through development will help improve the player to his full potential. Similarly, young players need a lot of game time, and it’s best to keep them on the first team sheet or as subs to rotate the squad whenever necessary. Some of these players can be purchased at a lower price than their base cost from the Transfer Market.

Here are the top young talents for every position in FIFA 23.

Remember, you can always develop young players and assign an alternate position to increase their versatility over the pitch.
