28 Sep FIFA 19 Best Young Players: The fastest-growing stars you need to sign at every position in Career Mode

Working out which best young players to sign in FIFA 19’s Career Mode can be tedious. So we’ve simplified the task for you.

Two of the game’s highest-rated shot-stoppers both reside in Florence. When you start a new game save, between Lafont and Dragowski, the two keepers have a combined worth of just £13.4m. That figure will quickly sky-rocket if you don’t snap them up before they begin their ascent.

Slightly further forward, three Premier League defenders rank among the league’s cream of the crop. Trent Alexander-Arnold is unsurprisingly the second highest-growing young defender, closely followed by Fulham sensation Ryan Sessegnon in fourth. Man City loanee Pablo Maffeo clocks in at seventh.

For all the hype surrounding American midfielder Christian Pulisic, FIFA 19 only ranks him as the third best young player, trailing Leon Bailey and Ezequiel Barco, of Bayer Leverkusen and Atlanta United respectively.

Up top, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, Kylian Mbappe is the league’s highest-potential attacker, with Vincius Junior and Marcus Rashford rounding off the top-three.

Here are the 10 best young players on FIFA 19 by position.
