FIFA 22 career mode is all about getting the best young players in and training them up to become international superstars.
For this, we've put together some of the best FIFA 22 young ST and CF players. These are the ones you'll want to sign up nice and quickly when you lack firepower and want to solve this issue for the long term.
Like the best wonderkids list, we're not going for players like Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland. You already know they're the best strikers in the world and they're ludicrously expensive.

Instead, we've chosen have players rated 75 or lower, with the potential to become up there with the best in the world.

1) Giacomo Raspadori
- Club: Sassuolo
- Age: 21
- Current Overall: 74
- Potential Overall: 88
- Value: £9.5m
He won't be easy to get hold of, but with Raspadori's Sassuolo contract coming towards its end you might be able to get a deal done. Get him quick though, because his massive potential will start getting fulfilled really quickly. At 21, he's going to start improving big time before long, and you'll be able to put him in your starting lineup easily. Good players will be able to carry him until his stats are high enough to hold their own at the top level, with 4 star skills and 5 star weak foot bringing him to a level of ability that few in the game will be able to match. Speedy, clinical, and skillful - Giacomo Raspadori is everything you could ever want in a striker.
2) Dane Scarlett
- Club: Tottenham Hotspur
- Age: 17
- Current Overall: 63
- Potential Overall: 86
- Value: £450k
Dane Scarlett is a real wonderkid. With a low overall but ridiculous potential, he's the main reason a lot of people will pick Spurs as their first FIFA 22 career mode. Showing bags of potential in real life, Scarlett is no different in-game. He's not the trickiest player, but his finishing and dribbling will be up there with the best in the world by the time he's in his mid-20s. Send him out on loan, watch the goals come in the lower divisions, then give him a shot once you reckon he's ready.
3) Benjamin Sesko
- Club: RB Salzburg
- Age: 18
- Current Overall: 68
- Potential Overall: 86
- Value: £1.1m
Sesko is similar to Scarlett in potential and attributes. He's a year older, so will take a year less to develop, and his stats are more geared towards physical than technical, but if you want a classic Number 9 to lead your team's line, look no further than Sesko. He'll develop to be brilliant in the air too, with some already decent heading stats that'll only improve with time.
4) Musa Juwara
- Club: Crotone
- Age: 19
- Current Overall: 67
- Potential Overall: 85
- Value: £1m
Musa Juwara is going to be your classic speedster. Whether he's sprinting off the shoulder of the last defender or dribbling the ball from deep, once you sign him up (he's at Crotone on loan from Bologna at the moment) he'll find it easy to slot into your side. Who needs skill moves when you have speed and dribbling.
5) Liam Delap
- Club: Manchester City
- Age: 18
- Current Overall: 64
- Potential Overall: 85
- Value: £550k
Another English youngster, and the son of Rory Delap of long throw-in fame, Liam is looking like a real prodigy. At just 18 years of age, he's a lively striker with the potential to make it all the way to the top. Once you work with him on his shooting and physical attributes, he'll be a dominant force in the top division wherever you decide to play - and his 4 star weak foot doesn't hurt either. I wouldn't put him on long throws, though.
6) Brian Brobbey
- Club: RB Leipzig
- Age: 19
- Current Overall: 73
- Potential Overall: 85
- Value: £6.5m
You'd be forgiven for thinking Leipzig's Brobbey is already the finished article when it comes to being a complete striker. He has 4 star weak foot, he's fast, great in the air, and a solid goalscorer to boot. That's what makes his development even more of a treat. His physical stats are enough to bully opposing centre-backs, and he'll work brilliantly as a target man for your squad.
7) Santiago Gimenez
- Club: Cruz Azul
- Age: 20
- Current Overall: 71
- Potential Overall: 86
- Value: £4.1m
Gimenez has what it takes to slot into your team as a really talented advanced forward, carrying out all the tasks you expect of a great striker. You can make him into a strong, physical threat with excellent finishing ability and pace that's not even half bad, letting you knock it past CBs and cause absolute chaos in the back line.
8) Fabio Silva
- Club: Wolverhampton Wanderers
- Age: 19
- Current Overall: 70
- Potential Overall: 85
- Value: £3.4m
Wolves' Fabio Silva was a pricy addition to their squad, but if you can get your hands on him you'll be getting a great dribbler of the ball who'll work excellently both as part of a front pair or a lone striker with support from the wingers and wing-backs. He's just 19 years of age, and throughout his career you'll be able to build an all-time great for your club if you use Silva well.
9) Antwoine Hackford
- Club: Sheffield United
- Age: 17
- Current Overall: 59
- Potential Overall: 84
- Value: £650k
Hackford is a real project player. At just 17 you'll want to be patient with him and give him the playing and training time he needs, but once that's all done and dusted it'll be an easy inclusion in your squad for years to come. Remember, it's possible to surpass a player's potential overall, and with Antwoine Hackford that's a real possibility. Allowing such a young player to develop means you'll be able to really mould him into the perfect superstar - and that superb pace isn't going anywhere.

10) Sebastiano Esposito
- Club: FC Basel
- Age: 19
- Current Overall: 68
- Potential Overall: 85
- Value: £1.2m
Basel's Esposito is an Inter Milan loanee so he won't be available to purchase for a little while. However, once FC Basel lets him go he'll be a brilliant addition to your squad. He's great on the ball and off it, a prime candidate for free kick duties, and can even slot in at CAM if you want to give him more time on the ball as an attacking outlet for your side.
