Best young STs in FC 25
Here are the top 10 best young STs in FC 25 ranked by their potential rating from highest to lowest:
| Player | Age | Club | OVR | POT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Endrick | 18 | Real Madrid | 77 | 91 |
| Semih Kilicsoy | 18 | Besiktas | 72 | 88 |
| Mathys Tel | 19 | Bayern Munich | 77 | 88 |
| Benjamin Sesko | 21 | RB Leipzig | 79 | 88 |
| Paris Brunner | 18 | Borussia Dortmund | 65 | 87 |
| Vitor Roque | 19 | FC Barcelona | 76 | 87 |
| Karim Konate | 20 | RB Salzburg | 73 | 87 |
| George Ilenikhena | 17 | AS Monaco | 70 | 86 |
| Mustafa Hekimoglu | 17 | Besiktas | 62 | 86 |
| Evan Ferguson | 19 | Brighton | 74 | 86 |
The perennial wonderkid of the last half a decade, Endrick is finally at Real Madrid and has taken his rightful place at the top of our list with a whopping 91 potential rating – equal with Mbappe’s current rating in the game and among the best players in the world. Barcelona has its own wonderkid striker in Vitor Roque, but EA clearly doesn’t expect him to reach the same heights as Real’s boy wonder.
Aside from the big teams, there are a few surprising inclusions, most notably from Turkish side Besiktas. Mustafa Hekimoglu will take some time to develop from a 62 rating to an 86, but the real star is Semih Kilicsoy. At 18, he’s only 72-rated, meaning he’s not too expensive, but he’s got a potential of 88, making him an absolute steal for almost any team so long as you have the patience to develop him fully.
