With the latest EA FC 25 Squad Update from July 17, 2025, I’ve scouted out 10 fresh low-budget wonderkids—none of whom have graced our previous lists—who can supercharge your team.
All of them are 21 or younger, cost less than €20M, have small wages, and come with real faces in-game. Plus, they’re ranked by potential, so you know you’re getting the cream of the game. Let’s dive in and chat about these hidden gems!
EA FC 25 Best Wonderkids
10. Bart Verbruggen
Kicking off the list is Bart Verbruggen, a Dutch shot-stopper who’s already holding his own at Brighton. At 78 overall, his 81 reflexes and 79 diving make him a dependable last line of defense, and that 76 kicking isn’t shabby for starting moves from the back.
With a potential of 84, he’s got years of growth ahead, and €18.5M feels like a steal for a Premier League-ready keeper. Oh, and that 4-star weak foot? He’s comfy with either boot—pretty rare for a goalie!
9. Merlin Röhl
Next up is Merlin Röhl, a Swiss Army knife of a midfielder from Freiburg. Whether you need a CAM, CM, or CDM, he’s your guy. This promising player has an overall rating of 75 and the potential to develop to a rating of 84.
With 84 sprint speed and a ridiculous 86 stamina, he’ll run all day, while his 78 vision lets him pick out those killer passes. At €12.5M, he’s a bargain, and his 4-star weak foot paired with 3-star skill moves makes him a versatile gem for any squad.
8. Omari Hutchinson
Omari Hutchinson is a name to watch at Ipswich Town. This tricky CAM (who can also play RM) boasts 82 acceleration and 82 balance, making him a nimble little playmaker.
His 79 ball control keeps the ball glued to his feet, and with a potential of 84, he’s got star quality written all over him. For €12.5M, he’s a budget-friendly spark for your attack in EA FC 25 Career Mode.
7. Abdul Fatawu
If you need a winger who terrifies full-backs, Leicester City’s Abdul Fatawu is your man. He combines blistering 87 Acceleration with a cannon of a shot (84 Shot power). This player has an overall rating of 76 and a potential of 84, which suggests a good future in your team in Career Mode.
Being equally adept with both feet (4-star weak foot) and possessing 4-star skill moves makes him a versatile and unpredictable threat from the right flank.
6. Lucas Beraldo
Paris Saint-Germain’s Lucas Beraldo offers tactical flexibility and defensive steel. Comfortable at both CB and LB, his 80 Aggression and 79 Standing tackle make him a formidable opponent.
This promising player starts with an overall rating of 77 and a potential of 84 with some effort to benefit you in Career Mode. He’s strong in the air with 82 Jumping, making him a sound investment at €19.5M for a top-level defensive prospect.
5. Antoni Milambo
Now we’re talking value! Antoni Milambo from Feyenoord is dirt cheap at €4.4M, but his potential of 85 screams superstar-in-the-making. Let’s not forget that his overall rating is 71, which is not bad for someone who loves development.
His 78 stamina and 79 agility keep him buzzing around midfield, and 73 vision hints at playmaking chops. With 4-star skill moves and 3-star weak foot, he’s got some flair too—snap him up before his price skyrockets!
4. Matías Soulé
Matías Soulé is a livewire for Roma, blending 87 stamina with 83 dribbling and 83 agility to dance through defenses. This Argentine can play CAM or RM, and his 4-star skill moves and weak foot make him a nightmare to mark.
This player has an overall rating of 76 and will have a direct impact on your team in Career Mode. At €17M with a potential of 85, he’s a no-brainer for anyone building a stylish squad.7
3. Mateus Fernandes
Mateus Fernandes is a jack-of-all-trades for Southampton, slotting in at CM, CAM, or RW. His 81 balance and 84 agility make him tough to knock off the ball, and 79 short passing keeps your play ticking.
With 4-star everything (Skill Moves & Weak Foot), he’s got the skills to match his potential of 85—all for a tidy €16M. It is worth noting that his overall rating is also 76.
2. Eliesse Ben Seghir
AS Monaco’s Eliesse Ben Seghir is a future star in the making. With a massive 86 potential, he’s a top-tier investment. This player was a surprise to us and his overall rating is 76 and 4-star skill moves and 3-star weak foot.
He can play across the front line (LM, CAM, ST) and already has impressive 80 Dribbling and 79 Ball control, making him a dangerous and versatile addition to any squad.

Topping the list is Antonio Nusa, RB Leipzig’s lightning-fast Norwegian starlet. With 92 acceleration and 91 agility, he’s a blur on the pitch, and his 81 dribbling makes him untouchable.
