FIFA 23 wonderkids and the best young players with the highest potential in Career Mode

FIFA 23 Wonder Kids come in two forms – a list of best youngest players with highest potential odds and a list of hidden gems with huge room for improvement.

This gives you two things to take advantage of – players with the highest rating they can achieve (spoilers – it’s Kylian Mbappé again!) and players with the most growth over time, which is useful if you are looking for it. great deals in career mode. I know we do.

FIFA 23 wonderkids and the best young players with the highest overall potential

Here is a list of FIFA 23’s 21 Best Wonder Kidsranked as the players with the highest overall potential rating.

That means there are plenty of well-known players there – Mbappé, Vinícius Jr. and Alexander-Arnold among them – who, incredibly, still have room to improve.

In the end, this is where you will find the absolute best young players – useful if you want the best young centre-back with the highest potential rating, for example, or the future best striker in the world.

Note – we’ve ranked this table by highest maximum overall rating, as opposed to maximum possible improvement – although this can be seen in a dedicated column (with for a second year Ansu Fati is looking to take the biggest leap from its current to potential rating with 11 points).

The best young players with the greatest potential to go into FIFA 23

In addition to the above young players with the highest potential cap, another consideration is the young players with the most room for improvement.

These are known as hidden gems – lesser-known players who, if picked up early and upgraded, can give you a real boon in career mode.

Each player in the list below will be increase by at least 23 points in their overall stat – a huge leap from the above chart from Wonderkids, where the highest possible growth is 11.

These players will take a little longer to reach their potential, but if you’re in it for the long haul with your career mode saves, this will make great investments:

Other things to know about the best young players and wonderkids in FIFA 23

In addition to the above, there are a few things to keep in mind when hunting for your next world-class talent:

Age is an important factor here. Although younger and less successful players may have a better price, if you can afford more developed players it is often a safer and faster bet. After all, you might not fit in four, five, or six seasons in a single game of Career Mode, and so you might never see the full potential of a seventeen-year-old.

Year after year, Mbappé is the best young player with the highest potential – but there are other players with more room for improvement…

For these longer parts, we recommend players with a starting overall rating as low as possible to cut costs – that’s where the hidden gems chart above comes in handy.
Like always, be flexible with your positions. Th is is good advice for FIFA in general, but remember that players often have expertise in multiple places on the roster, and it’s more their technical attributes like pace, dribbling or finishing. that make the difference.

For bargains, think about the size of the club you are buying from – are you more likely to get a good deal from Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, or would it be better to try and get Gavin Beavers from Real Salt Lake?
