In EA FC 25 Career Mode, managers often look to sign skillful young wingers in the transfer window. Here, we have picked out the best young wingers across multiple positions, including the best young RWs, RMs, LWs, and LMs.

Our shortlist includes the best young players for all budgets, whether you’re looking to develop a wonderkid or buy the finished article.

FC IQ changes the way Career Mode fans scout and develop talent. If a player is constantly growing their key Attributes, then a Role Rating level up will be triggered to increase the potential of such Attributes and unlock a new stage of growth.

With that in mind, here are the wingers with the most potential.

Our shortlist below has been assembled using the EA SPORTS FC database, which includes each player’s age, OVR rating, potential, contract length, and value. We used the age range of 15-25, as players typically don’t grow much after that.

At just 16 years old, Lamine Yamal played 37 matches for Barcelona last season. Then, at the Euros, the superstar winger had a breakout tournament, and that form has carried over into this campaign. In six matches, Yamal registered three goals and five assists.

Multiple stellar seasons in a row have made Rodrygo one of the best wingers in the world. It will be challenging to lure the Brazilian star away from Real Madrid, but there is always a chance for a change of scenery.

Vinicius Junior is the betting favorite to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or, recognizing the best player from the previous season. The Brazilian winger led Real Madrid to a Champions League win and LaLiga title.

In the absence of Kylian Mbappe at PSG, Bradley Barcola is the next man up. The 19-year-old winger has already scored four goals this season and has limitless potential.

Cole Palmer put the Premier League on notice last season, finishing with 22 goals and 11 assists. Chelsea’s star player picked up right where he left off last season, and is one of the league’s brightest talents.

After a phenomenal season at Crystal Palace, electrifying winger Michael Olise earned a massive move to Bayern Munich. It didn’t take long for Olise to adjust to life in Germany, as the squad has been firing on all cylinders.

Spain leaned on a massive youth movement to win the 2024 European Championship. At the center of that run was Nico Williams, who tore apart opposing defenses throughout the tournament.
