Ask anyone who is a veteran of FIFA's Career Mode about how best to succeed and they will inevitably mention signing the best young players.

Ansu Fati | 18 | 76 | LW | Barcelona | 90 | £15 |
Alphonso Davies - 20 - 81 - LB - Bayern - 89 - £47.5
It's safe to say that Bayern won't be in the market for a left-back anytime soon, so long as Alphonso Davies is at the club. The Canadian international has rocketed up the ladder of top defenders in world football and still has an entire career at the top to play. The realistic question might be if he's too good to play in defence, or if Bayern will have to eventually move him further up the pitch.
Mason Mount - 22 - 83 - CAM - Chelsea - 89 - £52.5m
One of the bright young talents in the Premier League, Mason Mount is a homegrown phenom for Chelsea, producing goals and assists alike. He's really come into the fold over the last two seasons, as he's now one of the first names on the team sheet for the London giants. He'll be a fantastic purchase for your Career Mode squad with a potential of 89 OVR.
Vinícius Jr. - 21 - 80 - LW - Real Madrid - 90 - £52m
Bursting onto the scene during the 2018 campaign, Vinícius Jr. defines raw talent with incredible pace and willingness to run at defenders with the ball. He's already scored big goals at the Bernabéu and figures to have a long career with Madrid. He's fairly affordable in Career Mode, particularly when you factor in his sky-high 90 OVR potential.
