Final update: Check out the best talents with the highest potentials in FIFA 23 for your Career Mode journey. We got the the ultimate list of rising stars, wonderkids and hidden gems – sorted by position to help you keep track.

Best Talents FIFA 23

A proficient manager comprehends the significance of cultivating talents, as they hold the key to a prosperous future. Discovering young, lesser-known players and molding them into global football stars akin to Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, or even Harry Maguire (jokes aside) injects thrill into your in-game journey, spanning across numerous years.

Those who identify, develop and trust those talents early, will be almost always rewarded in FIFA. Players in your club will experience accelerated growth compared to those in other clubs. The best part is that, thanks to dynamic potential (introduced in FIFA 20), these young players can surpass their initial limits and reach even greater heights.EA regularly updates the talents, adjusting their starting overall ratings, potentials, and market values. We will ensure that you are up-to-date about the top players in each position.

The Best Talents In FIFA 23

Our list includes players who meet the following criteria:

  • Players must not be older than 22 years at the beginning of Career Mode
  • Players must have a potential of 85 or higher
  • The OVR must improve by at least five points (unless he reaches 86+)

You will find both – young mega talents who are expensive right from the start and cheap youngsters who you can sign or loan with a 2nd or 3rd league club. Sometimes, the potential of some players gets downgraded after release.

We won't kick them off the list unless they get much worse than 85. The gems are sorted according to their main position. So, for example, Jamal Musiala can be found among central midfielders (because he plays as CM), although he can also be used as LM.

If the club is followed by (L.) or (N.), the player is on loan or a new signing and cannot be added to your club in the first year.

They start with low ratings, but have the most potential, and can become future stars. Especially with clubs from lower leagues, we can recommend these talents because they aren't expensive.
