Endrick – ST
19 | Brazil | Real Madrid
OVR: 77-91 (+14)
Endrick has the second-highest growth potential on this list, making him one of the best early investments for your team. An overall potential of 91 is no joke—it’s on par with some of the highest-rated superstars in FC 26, proving Endrick’s capability in Career Mode. His 4-star skill moves, Gamechanger, Power Shot, Quick Step and Rapid PlayStyles, along with 87 Pace, make him an amazing pick.
Desire Doue – RW
20 | France | PSG
OVR: 85-91 (+6)
Desire Doue is one of the best young attackers FC 26 has to offer. With an overall potential of 91, he’s on par with the likes of Mohamed Salah. Doue has always been a popular pick for Career Mode. His 5-star skill moves, 4-star weak foot and Trickster+, along with 90 Dribbling, make him a top-tier wonderkid. First Touch, Gamechanger, Inventive, Press Proven and Quick Step are the rest of his PlayStyles.
Savinho – RW
21 | Brazil | Manchester City
OVR: 82-87 (+5)
Savinho is another popular choice for Career Mode, thanks to his 87 potential, 4-star skill moves, high-rated Pace and Dribbling and most importantly, his versatility on the field. He can play as a Right Winger, Left Winger and Right Midfielder. For anyone looking for a promising young player with great flexibility, Savinho is the one to sign. He also has the First Touch, Inventive, Technical and Whipped Pass PlayStyles to top it off!
Ethan Nwaneri – RW
18 | England | Arsenal
OVR: 76-87 (+11)
A growth of +11 reaching a potential of 87 is what you’d love to see in FC 26 best young wingers, and that’s exactly what Nwaneri brings to the field. But that’s not all he offers. Nwaneri can also play as a Center Midfielder and a Right Midfielder, providing flexibility. With Finesse Shot and Technical PlayStyles, he can score goals with curve and accuracy while also having faster controlled sprints with wide and precise turns while dribbling.
Francesco Camarda – ST
17 | Italy | Lecce
OVR: 65-87 (+22)
Starting at 65 OVR and reaching a potential of 87? That’s a whopping growth of +22, the highest on this list, and to top it off, all this at just 17 years old. Who else could it be other than Francesco Camarda? You might struggle in the early stages because of his moderate stats and lack of PlayStyles, but if you’re someone thinking long-term, you should definitely consider this young striker.
Mathys Tel – ST
20 | France | Spurs
OVR: 77-86 (+9)
Not a fan of long-term grinding and looking for a promising striker that doesn’t make the early stages a struggle? Sign Mathys Tel. An overall potential of 86 is great, but his versatility in roles allows him to play as a Striker, Left Winger and Center Attacking Midfielder. His 4-star ratings in both skill moves and weak foot, along with the Finesse Shot PlayStyle, make him one of the best FC 26 Career Mode wonderkids.
Samu – ST
21 | Spain | FC Porto
OVR: 79-86 (+7)
Many Career Mode players consider Samu one of the best young strikers to sign. He is a fan favorite and his stats clearly show why. What really stands out about him is his 83 Physicality with 94 Jumping and 90 Strength. Now combine those stats with a height of 6’4″ (193 cm) and you’ll understand why he’s a nightmare for defenders. To complement all this, Samu has the new Enforcer and Precision Header PlayStyles in FC 26, allowing him to perform shoulder challenges, shielding and headers more effectively.
Jhon Duran – ST
21 | Colombia | Fenerbahce
OVR: 79-86 (+7)
Jhon Duran has a lot of similarities with Samu. Both are 21, start at 79 and reach 86, are promising strikers, and have similar SM and WF ratings. They’re also known for performing headers with increased accuracy and power, thanks to the Precision Header PlayStyle. But if you’re looking for a player with a balance of Pace, Shooting and Physicality, Jhon Duran is the one to sign. He’s also on the taller side at 6’2″ (187 cm).
Considering all these similarities, it’s safe to say that both Samu and Jhon Duran are among the best FC 26 young strikers to sign in Career Mode.
Leo Sauer – LW
19 | Slovakia | Feyenoord
OVR: 72-86 (+14)
I know we haven’t come across an LW wonderkid so far in this article, and here he is. Leo Sauer is a promising young attacker from Slovakia. Don’t underestimate this talent because of his starting OVR. Sauer’s potential is 86 and he has everything you need in an attacker. He can also play as a Center Attacking Midfielder and Left Midfielder. Sauer has an impressive 4-star skill moves rating, allowing him to perform most skill moves. He has 88 Pace, 86 Acceleration and 90 Sprint Speed, and to top it all off, he also has the Technical PlayStyle to break through the opponent’s defense.
Mikey Moore – LW
18 | England | Rangers
OVR: 72-86 (+14)
Last but not least, we have Mikey Moore, another promising young Left Winger. Moore starts at 72 and can reach up to 86, just like Sauer. This is a growth of +14, the second-highest on this list. If you need a young attacker who can play both as an LW and LM, can be equally effective from both sides of the field (4-star WF), and can shield the ball better (Press Proven PlayStyle), Mikey Moore is the one to sign.
That brings us to the end of our guide! These are the 10 best FC 26 high potential attackers you need to sign in Career Mode.
