Alright, let's talk about the single most exciting part of any Career Mode save: building a terrifying attack. We all know that's where the magic happens, right? You can have the best defense in the world, but without those game-changing forwards who can pull a rabbit out of a hat, you're gonna have a tough time lifting trophies. And for me, the right winger position is absolute gold—it's where pace meets trickery, where you cut inside and unleash absolute bangers. So, let's dive into the best young guns you can sign to terrorize left-backs for years to come. I'm talking about the players with the highest potential, the ones who are gonna grow into absolute superstars. Trust me, picking the right one here can be the difference between a decent season and a legendary dynasty. It's a no-brainer, really.
10. Oscar Bobb (Manchester City)
First up, we've got a hidden gem from the City Football Academy. Oscar Bobb is the definition of a budget baller. If you're starting a save with a smaller club and need someone with massive upside without breaking the bank, look no further. The Norwegian winger starts at a modest 72 OVR, but his potential rockets up to 85. The best part? You can probably snag him for a steal, around €6-8M. That's an absolute bargain, mate. He's quick, agile, and can also slot in as an attacking midfielder if needed. He's a low-risk, high-reward signing that could pay off big time in a couple of seasons. A classic 'moneyball' move.
9. Abdul Fatawu (Leicester City)
Next, we head to the King Power Stadium for another fantastic prospect. Abdul Fatawu is that exciting, raw talent who gets you off your seat. With an initial rating of 76 and a potential of 85, he's more of a project, but what a project he could be! The Ghanaian winger has been turning heads, and some even see him as the natural successor to Riyad Mahrez at Leicester. He's got that flair and directness you want from a winger. My advice? Get him early in your rebuild. He might need a season or two on loan or as a rotation option to truly hit his stride, but once he does, you'll have a top-class winger for a fraction of the cost of an established name. Patience is key here.
8. Estanis Pedrola (Sampdoria)
La Masia does it again! Estanis Pedrola is a product of Barcelona's famed academy, though he's now plying his trade in Serie B with Sampdoria. This guy is a seriously interesting pickup. He starts at 71 OVR but has a potential of 86. But here's the kicker—he comes with a 5-star weak foot. Let that sink in. A young winger who is genuinely two-footed? That's a cheat code. It makes him so unpredictable and deadly in front of goal. You can cut inside onto his left or go down the line on his right; defenders won't know what hit 'em. He's a perfect signing for a team building from the ground up, offering incredible technical quality from day one.
7. Geovany Quenda (Sporting CP)
Portugal is a wonderkid factory, and Geovany Quenda is the latest off the conveyor belt. Playing for Sporting CP, this lad has insane potential. He starts at a very affordable 70 OVR, but his potential is a whopping 88. That's elite-level stuff. For a team on a tight budget, he's an absolute must-scout. You're essentially buying a future world-beater for peanuts. He's already impressing in Portugal, and in the game, with the right training and game time, he can develop into one of the most feared wingers in your save. This is the kind of signing that defines a successful Career Mode—finding a hidden superstar before anyone else does.
6. Johan Bakayoko (PSV)
If you follow the Eredivisie, you know Johan Bakayoko is the real deal. The Belgian winger was a key player in PSV's title-winning 2023/24 season and even bagged the Talent of the Season award. In FC 25, he starts as a ready-made contributor at 79 OVR, with the potential to soar to 88. He's not a project; he's a player who can walk into most top-division sides and perform immediately. He's strong, fast, and has an end product. He might cost a bit more than the earlier names, but you're paying for proven quality and still-massive growth potential. A statement signing for a club looking to compete right away.
5. Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad)
The 'Japanese Messi' has truly come into his own at Real Sociedad. Takefusa Kubo is pure joy to watch—in real life and in the game. He's got that low center of gravity, incredible dribbling, and a eye for a pass or goal. With an 81 OVR and 88 potential, he's already a fantastic player who can get even better. He was instrumental for Sociedad, helping them secure European football. In Career Mode, he brings immediate star quality and technical security to your right flank. He's the kind of player who makes your whole team play better. If you want a winger who's already elite but hasn't hit his absolute ceiling yet, Kubo is your man.
4. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Now we're entering the realm of the established superstars. Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's starboy and one of the best wingers in the world, period. In-game, he's rated 87 OVR with the potential to hit 89. His stats are incredibly well-rounded: blistering pace, lethal shooting, silky dribbling, and pinpoint passing. He's the complete modern winger. The catch? He'll cost you an arm and a leg, and prying him away from Arsenal is nearly impossible. But if you're managing a financial powerhouse and need a guaranteed, world-class performer for the next decade, Saka is about as safe a bet as you can get. He's the finished article who can still polish his game a tiny bit more.
3. Phil Foden (Manchester City)
Phil Foden, or 'the Stockport Iniesta' as some call him, has officially arrived. After a phenomenal 2023/24 season where he became undroppable for City, his rating has jumped to a stellar 88 OVR. His potential sits at 90. Foden is more than just a winger; he's a footballing genius who can play anywhere across the front line or in midfield. His technical attributes are through the roof. Signing him is a declaration of war on the rest of your save. He's expensive, he's loyal to City, but he embodies everything you want in a creative force. He'll be the heartbeat of your team for years. A true game-changer.
2. Rodrygo (Real Madrid)
In the galaxy of stars at Real Madrid, don't sleep on Rodrygo. While everyone raves about Vini Jr. and Mbappé, this Brazilian is a superstar in his own right. Starting at 86 OVR with a potential of 91, he's already elite and can become one of the very best players in the entire game. His pace and dribbling are electric, making him a nightmare for any defender. He's got that clutch gene too, always showing up in big moments. Signing him from Madrid is the ultimate challenge, but if you can pull it off, you're getting a player who can single-handedly win you games. He's the complete package.
1. Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona)
And here he is, the crown jewel. The number one right winger with the highest potential in EA Sports FC 25 Career Mode: Lamine Yamal. What this kid has done by 2026 is nothing short of ridiculous. A key player for Barcelona and a European champion with Spain in 2024, he's a generational talent. In the game, he starts at a very respectable 81 OVR, but his potential is a mind-blowing 94. That's joint-highest in the entire game! He is the ultimate long-term investment. He has the world at his feet, and in your Career Mode, you can be the manager to guide him to his destiny as the best player on the planet. Securing Yamal is the ultimate power move for any ambitious manager.
So, there you have it! From budget bargains to galactic superstars, this list has a right winger for every type of Career Mode save. Who are you signing first? For me, the thrill of developing a raw talent like Quenda or Yamal is what Career Mode is all about. Get scouting, and go build that unstoppable attack! 🏆⚽
