Hey everyone, it's your boy back with another deep dive into EA Sports FC 25! You know the old saying, 'the best defense is a good offense?' Well, in our beloved Career Mode, that's basically the gospel truth. Forget parking the bus; we're here to talk about how to build a terrifying attack for the future by signing the absolute best young strikers. As of 2026, the talent pool is insane, and I've spent hours scouting to bring you the ultimate guide. Whether you're taking a minnow to the top or pushing a giant over the finish line, this list has your next goal-scoring machine.

Let's kick things off with the absolute hidden gems—the players you can snag for your lower-league save and watch them become world-beaters. These guys are the foundation of any epic rebuild.

  • 🔥 Mustafa Hekimoglu & Paris Brunner: Guys, listen up. If you're starting in the lower leagues, these two are NON-NEGOTIABLE. Seriously, they are the definition of a budget-friendly cheat code. Hekimoglu is a technical wizard, and Brunner has that raw, explosive power. Both offer exceptional growth potential and won't break the bank. Sign them, play them, and thank me later.

  • ⚡ Nelson Weiper & Marc Guiu: Okay, these two are decent backup options if you miss out on the top pair. But here's the catch: they'll cost you way more money and, honestly, don't have the same sky-high potential ceiling. Only go for them if you have a bit more starting cash.

So, your team is comfortably mid-table, maybe flirting with a European spot. You've got a solid budget, and you need a striker who can grow with the project and become the main man. This tier is for you.

  • 👑 Endrick (Real Madrid): This is almost too easy. If you're managing a solid Premier League or Bundesliga side, just go get Endrick. By 2026, he's already blossoming into an absolute monster. He's poised to become one of the best strikers in the entire game. A no-brainer signing for any ambitious mid-table club.

  • 💎 Semih Kilicsoy: Don't sleep on this guy! He might not have the hype of Endrick, but his growth curve is secretly elite. He's a fantastic, well-rounded option who can lead your line for a decade.

  • 💰 Mathys Tel & Vitor Roque: Look, these guys are great players. But here's the reality check: they're already at massive clubs (Bayern and Barcelona, typically). You'll have to pay a massive premium to pry them away. They're good, but ask yourself if they're worth that extra 20-30 million compared to Kilicsoy.

Alright, we've reached the endgame. You're managing a giant, the budget is limitless, and you need a striker who can deliver 40 goals a season RIGHT NOW. Or maybe you want the next big thing to replace your aging star. This is the elite tier.

  • 🌟 Kylian Mbappe & Erling Haaland: Let's state the obvious. These two are the best strikers in FC 25. Full stop. Signing either one is a statement. But come on, you know the drill. They will not come cheap. We're talking record-breaking, bank-emptying transfer fees and wages. If you can afford it, just do it and win everything.

  • 🤝 Victor Boniface: Compared to the two aliens above, Boniface might seem like a bargain. Keyword: might. His starting rating in 2026 is so high that he'll still cost you a pretty penny. He's a fantastic finished product, but you're paying for today, not tomorrow.

  • 🚀 Benjamin Sesko: This is my personal pick for the best value in the elite category. He's younger, has ridiculous potential, and while he'll be expensive, he won't completely obliterate your transfer budget like Mbappe. For many saves, Sesko is the perfect option—a star for today with the room to become the best in the world tomorrow.
